Are there any pictures of the turret build and possibly a bit of details about the implementation of the project?

I've found a Mac Pro to be an excellent machine for graphics work including large video editing projects that ground my Dell to a halt.

This is a poorly written article mainly complaining about the lack of an update to the Mac Pro product despite it's thesis that: > Apple, the MacBook Pro is not a pro-level computer. It’s simply not. However, the article is indeed s

That is a good point. Basically, you've abstracted the argument away from the Apple focus and applied it more generally to any proprietary technology. If one takes this proposed abstract perspective, I think it becomes clear that this

It does not work well. In particular, the Dell trackpad has either bad hardware or drivers or both, but it so bad that it significantly detracts from the product's usability.

It's hard to beat Apple store support where you can bring it egregiously broken products and walk out with brand new replacements at no charge (recently exchanged my 2 year old premium iPhone headphones which had literally broken the h

I agree with the sentiment of this comment. I think you're articulating what I perceive as feature decline particularly in the GUI interface. Advanced features seem to be disappearing and unless I'm using terminal, I feel like my

Apple laptop hardware seems to be best in class in terms of performance, support and longevity. I have some complaints about the way that macOS (or OSX) has progressed. My computer feels more like a Windows 8 desktop running a tablet operat

tl;dr The article basically says: > If you don't like Apple's decisions, then switch. But it's really your fault for using their products for years because you've locked yourself in. There's really nothing new h

From your own citation: "with each hoping that the other will collapse first" This in no way demonstrates a belief that both sides thing they are made of tougher stuff. In fact, it says explicitly that both sides are "hoping&

I wanted to discuss an expansion of this idea, I am so glad you brought it up. Less than 100 years ago we as humanity largely believed that we were fated with the brains and capacity we were born with. Today, we know this isn't true.

I believe that very little is known on the effects of this kind of supplementation. Avoiding dangerously high mineral content which could lead to illnesses like kidney stones, there doesn't seem to be strong evidence AGAINST. I therefo

I think that one of the major hurdles to BCI is the mechanism of connection. When electrodes are connected to neurons they have a tendency to be destroyed. However, one might imagine the development of sophisticated electromagnetic equipmen

"very easy for both sides to convince themselves that they are made of tougher stuff than their enemies" I'd be delighted if you could provide some sort of source or citation for this claim as I find it fascinating. Thanks.

In the early days of Socialcast, I built what I called the "pinging wall" which was a bunch of RGB leds inside of ping pong balls and mounted on the wall, each employee had their own ball. Using the arduino ethernet shield, the ar

This is still hacker news, right? So hypothetically we're talking silicon valley startups. How many of these kinds of places are heavily reliant upon outside companies like those mentioned by @GuiA to build prototypes of their designs?

Certainly it could be an interesting phenomenon, but as written it is not really scientific as it doesn't have a very large sample size and seems to only discuss a single site's usage. While one may be able to extrapolate correct

This is an excellent point. You don't necessarily need to start from scratch if there are existing projects which you might be able to contribute to. If you don't like the direction of certain decisions, you are certainly free to
