   Yeah, sounds like a job for a capacitor. Still, you're going to have lots of losses vs just not using the extra energy in the first place. Why not do something like a swashplate ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sw

   Intel could still use better TIM, or even the fancy liquid metal stuff. The fact that you can gain massive thermal benefits just from swapping it out with something better than the stuff they're using on a $1000+ CPU is pretty terrible

   The bleep app description says "Bleep is a fun and easy instant messaging app that is completely private." I find it hard to believe that without audited available source code. A quick search turned up this thread: https:/&#

   Facebook has video chat and lots of nontechnical people get how to use it. Google has had one for a while but the name keeps changing and they'll likely kill off whatever the latest one is in a year (and it probably works better on and

   This. If I don't have time, I'll say "I can look at this at [time]" or just not answer if I'm e.g. presenting or something. It makes my life a lot easier when someone just gives me the facts, and it gets them to don

    The general problem is that there are some APIs which work differently enough between platforms that they leak sufficiently that it makes a difference above the stuff they're supposed to abstract. The browser is [sadly] as close as we&

    Yep. There are also, as I'm sure you're aware but for the benefit of the less-familiar, plenty of "hybrid" ways to build "native" apps for mobile: https://github.com/auth0/blog/blob&#x

    Two fields? Why not just go for "full stack" and take out management, PMs, QA, DBAs, designers, UI engineers, architects, operations, support, and release engineers? Maybe call it "senior full stack engineer", then hire

    Yep. And as you also know, there's so much money in it that we won't see it change in our lifetimes. Why work when you can let the land work for you?

    You really need a graph with a timeline / histogram or similar. See my previous comment which has more ideas. I hope someone builds this, but I know that the way to see it happen is to go do it.

    I agree that the Windows App Store is a bad experience. I don't agree that they should extend add/remove programs to encompass this functionality. It's from literally 1995 and should be removed from Windows. It's actuall
