I work in medical devices and when I read such stories I often wonder how quickly we could develop things if we reexamined the company processes that have been developed over the last 30 years. Maybe everything we do is fine, but I suspect

I tried that but couldn’t make it work on my M1 MacBook. Not sure why.

FreeCAD reminds me a little of the GIMP. Super powerful but somehow the UI is just hard to deal with.

I like the idea of OpenSCAD but the language is too functional/immutable for my taste. It's interesting but having to rethink even algorithms with simple loops gets very tiring over time. A debugger would be very helpful to be abl

The same happened with laptops a long time ago. They basically do everything that's needed. But in general I agree that the innovation output of Apple is really low compared to their size. But that seems to be the case for most of thes

Is this a real zoom or just a fixed lens with longer focal length? I have read that the 13 Pro does digital zoom between 1x and 2.9x and only at 3x the 3x lens kicks in. So if you have a 5x lens you get digital zoom over an even longer rang

When I rented they did it all the time.

What if they raised prices by 1% to compensate? We just had double digit price increases for a lot of things so 1% seems pretty easy.

Hard to imagine what these sailors went through on these journeys. Insufficient food, always cold and wet probably, huge risk of injury, no medical support, underpaid. Just unimaginable for us.

I think best is not to ask the product manager for permission to address technical debt but to do it as a regular part of the job. And it's better to do this in an ongoing manner vs letting it pile up until nothing works anymore. Quant

It's the axis of have's versus have not's. A lot of the people I know are YIMBY as long as nothing really happens. I don't see too much affordable housing in super left wing upscale neighborhoods. It's just words.

I also have my doubts about dentist advice after seeing the dramatically positive effects a waterpik and oil pulling had on me and several other people I know. No gum problems, less sensitive teeth. Due to several moves and my laziness I di

The politicians and political appointees on top of the agencies need to keep the sweet lobby money flowing and they are also probably scared of an ad blitz by the industry against them. Once you have enough money (like many Super PACs), you

I think compared to the average basically toxic US diet, almost any diet that avoids the worst ingredients will help with many diseases. There may be some differences in ourcomes between ketogenic diet, vegan and whatever but the biggest st

"I don't expect you to understand, but self-diagnosing and self-medicating is not safe for you when you don't have the credentials." This is extremely condescending and also very profitable for the medical industry. On t

I don’t really care if it’s OOP by some definition or not. My point was that there are a lot of places where one can change the behavior of the app and it’s not easy to figure this out when you look at a codebase you don’t know yet.

We have some APIs written with.NET Core and ASP.NET. They work pretty well but the number of dependency injections, overrides and options are starting to kill me. Basically you get the spaghetti code version of OO. Relevant behavior is spr

If we spent 4% of GDP on a moon landing, we could easily do it again. Or if NASA just had a clear goal to pursue and wasn’t pushed around by Congress all the time.

I think there was one 100 years ago somewhere on the Canada coast that caused a tsunami and killed some people.

Maybe Bing is managed by the same people that haven't managed to get Windows search right despite trying for many, many years?

I wouldn’t call Juicero engineering driven. More over-engineering driven. Similar to software developers creating hyper scalable microservice architectures for even the most trivial systems. True engineering is to understand the requirement

That's not going to work in a real battle.

What are they going to do when they are in a real war with a capable enemy? In the midst of battle call the manufacturer and request a service tech to fly in while bombs are flying? Or maybe spend a few hours calling customer service?

I’ll make it n=2. I was pretty disappointed by the build quality of my System 76 Galago. And it wasn’t very repair friendly either because parts are very difficult to get.

by rqtwteye 2y ago
I don’t know System 76’s business numbers but after owning of their devices I would much prefer if they worked on their hardware versus creating a desktop manager. This seems like a giant distraction away from their real business. And their

Blue Origin was started before SpaceX and they still haven't delivered much. What are they doing?

After seeing what they are doing with their commercial planes and now Starliner I can't even imagine how screwed up the defense projects are. The NASA stuff is in the public so there is some accountability. Defense on the other hand is

That could be solved by proper regulation. As far as I can tell they are already making the process as miserable as possible. I don’t think it would get worse.
