The problem with focus-follows-mouse on macOS is the top menu bar. If you had it, and tried to mouse to the menu, the menu would switch out from under you. I have some notes in a file somewhere about how a Mac-native focus-follows-mouse cou

This was a bit more than a hundred years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event I'd say that such an event happening over a populated region of the Earth would be pretty bad. It's worth a bit of in

The difference between FDM and resin is quite substantial. Each style has applications which are easier, and come out better, compared to the other approach. Having one of each, I would never bother printing a replacement support bracket on

A better memorial might be to take some time to inspect your workspace for occupational safety hazards. Is that desk a sit-stand? Are people taking care to avoid RSI injuries? Is that monitor really high enough to look at without craning yo

Of all the Great Sophomoric Questions, "what is the meaning of life" is the most sophomoric of all. The paradigm case of the sophomoric question. An observation, not a criticism! The author is a professor of philosophy, it is in f

It is utterly baffling that people are downvoting this comment. The repo I link to here is by Haoran Xu, one of the authors of the paper. Y'all need to chill out.

There's Deegen, which is being used to build a LuaJIT successor. https://github.com/luajit-remake/luajit-remake From what I gather, Deegen is independent of the VM in that repo, but lives there afaik.

Because a refusal to understand what someone means when it's obvious, doesn't (as the delusion would have it) make that person look intelligent or win them imaginary internet points. It's just annoying.

Yes, that's true. What isn't true is that "some tables are sequences" which have "special operators" whose results are "undetermined for other tables". A table has an array portion, it has contents or

> Everything is a table, but not all tables are equals: some tables are sequences (indexed by 1..n) with special operators (like # whose result is undetermined for other tables (which hurts like the famous Undefined Behavior of C++).

So to summarize: unlike other AR glasses, it isn't unusable in sunlight, because it uses cameras to provide augmented reality, rather than something else. Got it.

You're describing an approach to implementing AR. Simple test: can you get a drink out of the fridge while wearing the headset? If the answer is yes, it's AR.

As far as I can tell, this is an aspect of language which people merely pretend to have problems with, out of pedantry, rather than a barrier to understanding in any possible case. Everyone understands that if A is 2x faster than B, then B

The minimum cost of an error is one cold branch. Which is effectively free on the happy path, and as cheap as it possibly can be on the error path. A well-designed error handling system can feasibly reach this goal, at which point no more o

How much use out of something is enough? AirPods weigh 10.4 grams for the pair. Let's say two hours per charge, and 400 charges, before they're no good. That's 1.3 milligrams of e-waste per hour. After 77 hours you have one a
