iTunes used to be the best music player/manager available, but over the years Apple has let it fall to feature creep and countless poor design choices. It's so bad now that the official fixes for some of its bugs now include thing

I was actually a little disappointed with "Lo and Behold." Maybe I set my expectations too high, but it struck me as very disorganized. It seemed like it was trying to cover too many topics at once and draw connections between the

Theoretically, ATP could be harvested from plants or bacteria. They could also be modified to produce the ammonia directly via this reaction. That wouldn't actually reduce the energy cost, but it could reduce the economic cost by makin

Yeah, I had the same thought when I saw my own region, Chattanooga, TN. This map shows our whole city as commuters to Atlanta. Almost no one commutes to Atlanta from here. It's a 3 hour drive without traffic and a 5 hour drive with tra

Maybe the first step in fighting against disinformation is to stop calling it and thinking of it as an, "Information War," as if it's something with sides that's meant to be won. The news these days is all about "fa

This is terrible, but blaming WhatsApp seems like a weird leap of logic. If someone harassed you over the phone, you wouldn't blame the telecom company. If someone sent you a death threat in the mail, you wouldn't sue the postal s

I've worked as a teacher/mentor for an online coding bootcamp, and from my experience, the advantage of these kind of programs is moving very, very fast. Self-teaching takes a lot of time because you often have to figure out what

This 'fingerprint' changes as you login in and log out of various services, so it's not very reliable for uniquely identifying users. Regardless, it could still be used to profile you and then target content accordingly. For

The resolution does seem super low, but I think they're trying to target the low budget market where it might make more sense. Their "How It Works" page says this: > Volumetric displays have been around in research labs an

This is really cool, but my brain keeps getting stuck on the word choice. Every time I see the `literally` keyword, I hear a teenage, valley girl accent in my head. "Literally, at sign." "Like, literally, hashtag, guys."

Worrying about the speed of light in processor caching these days is like putting a spoiler on your cart and horse to reduce drag. It might matter eventually, and that's kind of cool to think about, but it's absurdly negligible wi

I wonder what this would look like if they could speed up the motors and smooth out the motion with some more taught string. Maybe they could recreate more hand-like motions.

In my experience, it's very slow and clunky, but the real problem is that it attempts to impose a lot of styling and decoration _on top_ of the terminal. For example, the command prompt isn't just a command prompt, it has this sil

This looks very well executed and really cool, but I'm honestly really tired of all the node/electron terminals. In its favor, this project looks a lot more clean and less opinionated than that 'Black Screen' monstrocity
