It's also unfortunate that many iOS apps have totally neglected support for 4" devices and it's all too common to see apps in which the viewport is far too small due to other UI elements covering the screen (e.g. Uber and Goo

Haha thanks, I appreciate the compliment! I'm actually in the middle of a rewrite to make adding new camera types a lot easier and the code a lot cleaner in general. I wasn't aware that it was possible that you could request I-fra

What problems are you encountering with RTSP? I used GstRTSPServer for an open-source project ( https://github.com/shortstheory/adaptive-streaming ) and it's filled my requirements pretty well. RTSP clients on the o

How will the probe return the Martian samples? Is there going to be a round-trip mission to Mars in the future which will be able to take these samples back with it?

I don't ever recall seeing a train driver in my trips on Singapore's MRT either now that I think of it. Is this relatively new technology? Some of the older trains on the North East and Downtown MRT lines are at least a decade old

The Oxford vaccine (ChAdOx1) uses another vector virus called the adenovirus to deliver the coronavirus genes which the body can fight against. The issue is that some people might have pre-existing immunity to the adenovirus, making the vac

I don't think there is an macOS machine which runs NVidia hardware anyway, is there?

From the limited data regarding the Tiger Lake benchmarks floating around, it could be just as much of a revelation as the Zen2 jump which you mentioned. The GPU is much more powerful than Icelake and the CPU seems to have benefited from th

This is something which I have become more aware of after reading "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" by Jon Ronson. I am now wary of posting any thoughts online which go against the tide of popular opinion. One of my takeaways

In fact, there is a startup called Exyn Technologies which tackles the problem of deploying autonomous drones in mines and other such dangerous environments ( https://www.exyn.com/ )!

I was working on a PyQt inventory management system for our robotics club ( https://github.com/arc-bphc/sims-gui ) back in undergrad. We weren't able to finish this project, but our plan was to have a Raspberry Pi 3

Excellent. This could be a great device as a Qt PoS or inventory management system.

How much would the lack of AVX hurt performance apart from scientific computing? It's interesting to see Intel offering a chip with a clear focus on tablet computing, so the lack of AVX might not be so bad if the Tremont cores improve

I've been listening to Bowie's albums for years, but this is the first video interview I've ever seen of him. It struck me immediately how articulate and cogent he came across. Great video!

Great article. Sums up many of my concerns about the post-COVID19 world.

That's the thing. The battery is still healthy and it looks like it retains 90% of its capacity on the Battery Health setting page. I bought my SE very late into its lifecycle (June 2018), so I'm not sure why it's acting this

I would probably upgrade just for the battery. iOS 13 is very smooth on my SE but the battery is just nuked without battery saver on all the time.

As a beginner, I really like Justin Guitar ( https://www.justinguitar.com/site-map-and-lesson-structure ). But I'd love to know what other great resources are out there!

To my knowledge, Singapore's SBS Transit loses money on their transportation business, but makes it up with their construction projects.

Spelunky is an absolutely terrific and soul-crushing game. Though I'm not sure if it's a good example here because most of the mechanics (apart from the absolutely ridiculously arcane series of things you need to do to go Hell) ar

I really love that Nintendo did something like Satellaview, and it's always been something that has struck me as a niche product that was far ahead of its time. It's too bad that we will never be able to experience what using the

I've been doing this quite a lot for finding useful opinions or reviews on products. Reddit comments have a surprising consistency when it comes to tone and objectiveness which I've come to appreciate when I need a second opinion

I use OneNote on KDE Neon in a Windows 10 virtualbox. Yes, it's not the most efficient but I have found this approach much faster than using the sluggish web UI for OneNote. I also use my Windows 10 virtualbox for the rest of the MS Of

This is the part which confuses me about Bitcoin the most. It's meant to be anonymous, yet with some diligent data mining, it can become pretty clear who's who from their spending patterns by observing the ledger. How is that remo

That's interesting. If you're talking about Hello Internet, I enjoy listening to them at 1x. I find it quite relaxing to listen to passively.
