I'm not going to argue your preferences, but then why don't you get one 50 inch 4k display? That's about four of your current displays at similar density on a single cable. And probably at a similar price point, too. Or, if y

Assuming you have "1d depth vision", ie computing distance to the eye using two eyes set some distance apart, you'd be able to tell them apart rather easily, in addition to shading and movement differences. Just like our 2d e

That's a complicated question you're asking. It belongs to differential geometry, which I specialised in 15 years ago. So, you're looking for interesting 4 dimensional manifolds. Problem is, there are many of those. Too many

There is not a trap in algebra that is shown in that proof: there is a mistake in that proof. They do something that is not allowed, even if it's not obvious what that was at first glance. I don't think one can compare mistakes w

That is such a useless and pervasive answer to something cool: why not use these alternatives. _Obviously_ the author/user of these scripts knows that the Internet has more than one thing for each kind, and obviously they chose to use

I disagree with that example. This bug is exposing a server side infrastructure password and has nothing to do with user safety. Of course, as an operator of servers on the Internet, one must be aware of risks of bugs. This article talks ab

I didn't get that from the article at all. There was no "that's because..." or "you need to do this to make it fast..." in the article. Instead, it's "clojure is faster without additional work".

There are several baby monitor apps that do something like this. I don't know if any of them are open source. The keyword is baby monitor, that's what this functionality is marketed as.

Don't worry too much about it, there's merit in doing any of the levels anyway. Doing it the way from the article is much closer to the metal than using ws2812 or neopixels. These programmable rgb LEDs are quite complicated, they

The problem with that table is that this only lists the entry methods, which are supported in all browsers. However, the actual work is hidden behind parameters, not all of which are supported by all browsers, and some have to be in weird c

Lots of comments here focus on the fact that this device is WiFi-only and not a "real" cell phone. I find this sad. Are LTE calls really the only use case you can think of for a device that has its source code open, has WiFi and B

As others have said, watching 4 hours of anything might be problematic. However, my point is this: different things require different amounts of moderation. Candy all day is probably worse than carrots all day. In moderation, candy is great

Maybe the problem isn't Netflix and Youtube, maybe the problem is letting them watch for 4 hours? And unsupervised, too. It sounds to me like it's a bit like letting your children run free in a candy store for hours and then wonde
