It's great to see this improvement, and read about the development. The one issue that stuck out is that there is not enough (any?) "ease-in/ease-out" to the animation as it transitions from zooming to zooming and rotati

This reminds me a bit of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) [1] which is used heavily by the medical, automotive, and aerospace industries. Basically you try to think of all the ways that a device or process will fail, what the hazard

Seems like the right answer. I was looking around on some maps until I found things marked SWD - which is Salt Water Disposal. Apparently the "safe" way to dispose of the used fluids from fracking. https://www.google.co

This is definitely enjoyable and impressive for being done in a browser. It covers some of the core bits of a prototypical acid set up, but there are some basic things missing. The "909" section only has 4 sounds with some (4?) di

In the US, sales tax rates vary by state, county and even city. Some states have no sales tax. It would be impossible to advertise a price for a product when it would be so many different numbers depending on where you are. For example, if

I worked on a relatively compact head mounted display that the company thought would be successful for 3D movies (this was 2005/6). They also imagined that users would want to watch this content while traveling on airplanes. We did som

For $7.50 you can get a dummy phone which looks a lot more realistic. A quick search on Aliexpress shows this for the iPhone X, and there are plenty of other options. (I had a bunch of the iPhone 8 models for a work project. The only downsi

Somehow when I last read about this technology I had thought it was only triggered when copying or printing counterfeit currency, but really the history is that it was the fear of counterfeiting which helped the US government get printer ma

I have to say that I'm somewhat surprised by the negative comments on brainstorming here. Perhaps people have only been in crappy meetings which are superficially called brainstorms but are really excuses for a manager to ram their ide

Lots of good ones mentioned so far, but no one got Calendly. Instead of a dozens of emails and/or texts, phone calls etc. to find a time when someone (not in my organization, so they can’t normally see my calendar) can meet, I just ema

I’m not the target market, but if the first time I’m reading about a product is when it’s being discontinued, perhaps there were marketing and/or product/market fit issues.

In San Francisco, many people avoid walking in areas with higher crime - which is not mentioned on this site. Sometimes higher crime areas are not as well lit, don't have enough visibility, or don't have clear egress in the case w

It’s certainly interesting to see it being shared in the open. As someone who’s been doing product development for years, it seems a bit like “today we tied our shoelaces and brushed our teeth”. RF issues and DFM feedback from molders are p

At one point aluminum tools were a good trade off in time vs quality, but these days they only save maybe 10-20% of the tooling schedule and cost over steel. Tool life and robustness isn’t great so they’re not so popular any more. Usually w

While certainly some high quality expensive products focus on weight reduction (e.g. carbon fiber in camera tripods or hiking gear), many customers still have a subconscious association between weight an quality. After you’ve removed all th

Keep in mind the Bose Sleepbuds aren’t for music, just sleep sounds. My girlfriend got some, but they gave her headaches. “Unlike headphones, Sleepbuds™ don't stream music or podcasts. They play content only from the Bose Sleep app.”

Very fast and interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to search for ingredients like lime leaf. If I search for "salmon lime leaf" in the title section, none of the top hits have lime leaf in them. If I search in the ingre

I find it's much easier to part with such shirts if I take a photo of each of them. The main reason for keeping them (after they're worn out, shrunk too much, stained, etc.) is really just to remind myself of the event or band. A

I've read pretty much all of Gruber's blog posts for years. I'm very much an Apple person myself. I wouldn't call him a shill, but I do have to agree that he's become lazy about some of his opinions. He often bashes

In the SF Bay Area, where the hiking is amazing, the majority of people I see are wearing masks. We also have some of the lowest incidence of Covid in the US for the density and population. Personally, I figure if I can smell someone smokin

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but the most basic thing I do not get about these complaints is if the people making them have ever seen the markup and overhead that goes into retail sales of physical products? It's not l

If you haven't already watched this, here's the SciPy2015 presentation on the development of viridis. It helps to explain the importance of color maps and how human visual color perception works. https://www.youtube.com

The first thing I did when I opened the article was to search for viridis. It is in there, but in a sidebar. As others have pointed out, it's weird to make such a big deal about the same sort of thinking which has been done quite well

Most lenses that autofocus are all about reaching that focus point as fast as possible in order to take a still photo. When you are focusing for video, you're often "pulling focus" (i.e. adjusting the depth where you're

To be clear, this is auto- follow -focus for video, not autofocus for stills. The post title is the same as the site, but really you wouldn't bother with this for stills. Follow focus is useful or essential for video production. On lar

Somehow I automatically expected to see some reference to Napoleon using a canon in this article or the comments here. Apparently that’s a legend, but not accurate: https://www.smithsonianjourneys.org/blog/photo-what-ha
