Off topic but the writing style is so weird. It's sad they have to make articles a few paragraphs with a bolded titles to get people to read.

The performance boost you get from using a GPU is incredible. You might as well say they're free to make monitors that don't rely on color.

Not wrong. Retail stores do that with wifi (and probably bluetooth now) all the time.

That would be the ideal way, but from the use cases on the site it doesn't seem to be the intended use. My prediction is typical move fast break things tech bro culture. Release a product to everyone that is illegal in most states, wai

Another related work is S1E3 of black mirror, The Entire History of You. An eye implant that records all audio and video becomes becomes the norm for people, almost like how ubiquitous cell phones are. The episode explores the social reperc

There's been at least 2 attempts on kickstarter for this same idea. One traditional projection which is bulky as hell, really bad brightness drop off, and you can't see it in the light. Another was some kind of laser based thing t

These are the actual results of climate change though. What's being sensationalized here?

I'm not a fan of YAML. But frankly people complaining about YAML is starting to be more annoying. I barely use it and even I can see 80% of these issues are from not putting quotes around your values. Maybe config languages are just re

Could you recommend a good starting episode? I know the generals of languages so I don't know if episode 1 is worth the time investment...

FINALLY we've come full circle and can have widgets on the desktop again! It's not like a revolutionary killer feature for me, but I just always preferred having information always in my "peripheral" instead of having to

I might be making stuff up here but I do remember the same happening to I think png and jpg at least once, to some degree. It just sounds like typical growing pains from using non-safe languages (C). I get the appeal for browser speeds, but

Can't see that happening any time soon, browsers/users love render speed. If one is concerned about this as an end user, I've seen some extensions that block webp and try to request a png/jpg/etc. version from the h

Talking with a few students in science programs this seems to be the case, even when few higher ups want to admit it. Proving something is false is less valued than proving it right. It's silly because if we valued the quality of scien

I know cable standards are better today (esp. Cell phone chargers) but I miss being able to know what a cable or port does by the shape of it. Now I have a drawer of USB c style connectors with tape on them I write what the cable can do or

I have a lot of good memories of neopets. I didn't go on the boards like a lot of people, but I loved clicking around, getting items, and playing the arcade games for money. (thank goodness for the giant omelette in dino land because m

Well, if the app is designed for the asia pacific region then last name first name should be default to fit the majority of user's expectation, no?

The point was something with spellcheck, much like an IDE would have with code mistakes, would have caught that error easily. Which takes away from his argument that you don't need IDEs. Kind of like if someone was selling you a super

I've never seen a car without a spare in the US. Maybe only in sports/performance cars. What kind of cars are you talking about?

Not stupid. They just know they don't have to improve on their own because it costs money with no returns.

What a weird perspective. Do people expect the airlines to just eat the loss for no reason? It's not like consumers are getting screwed here, we're all used to airline ticket prices because that's what they cost without carbo

One project I think about a lot but will probably never do is build a DIY smart phone, writing all the UI and features myself. There's people on youtube that have done this. They're basically off the shelf parts and a raspi glued

Is there a real use case for this, or is it just to cash in on the crypto market? I ask because crypto transfer fees for bitcoin/eth are ridiculous if you're not transferring thousands of dollars at a time. And if paypal is the on

Not many people are saying that, but there's a few cases it could make sense. Like if you want to setup something on an embedded machine with no/restricted internet, then bash scripts will be easier. Some people also like not havi

Imagine if software engineers became liable for these sorts of errors. Just like how professional engineers are when they put their stamp on a project.

Having it run on (basically) any linux machine without downloading extra languages. I can see it being useful in certain situations, but I would think most use cases would benefit most from a better language.

Even if we make an AI that wants to turn all matter into paper clips, we're so far away from an agent doing that I'm really not too worried. I don't think there's any industry on earth that doesn't need humans in th

My mom tried the same thing with not much luck. It just amplified background noise too much according to her to be useful.
