There was a point where I saw a decent amount of buzz, but I also live in an area that had one of the bigger "Microsoft Stores." That said there was a point Microsoft more or less lost the plot on Windows phone, it was a few thing

It's absolutely possible, consumers just have to be willing to pay more. The situation with 'cheap' bikes is the same as it was almost 20 years ago when I worked at a shop; If you spend less than X$ on a bike, it's almos

The (build) supply side of the housing market is complicated. Remember that even when you aren't hampered by lack of space and/or zoning, most build starts are still 'investments'. I knew a whole lot of folks who did hom

What I did to get better at 'big' queries was start by writing out things like inner queries as CTEs, Table Parameters, or (if in oracle, lol) refCursors. That's (sometimes!) less performant than the one big query, but you ca

Dynamo seems nice for some very specific use cases, but there are others where it falls short. There's limits on how big your data can be, which is a little annoying if you want to use it to store a couple larger things alongside all y

Nawww, you're missing the market here. 2000-2012ish, Casual Joes and Janes were buying Point and Shoots. Most folks only bought DSLRs if they were actually doing it as a hobby or decided to take Photography as an elective in college. A

Manufacturing costs are a big part of it. Its safe to assume the AF Sensors for a given segment (often as much a differentiator as megapixels in DSLRs) are fairly custom/proprietary widgets and thus more expensive, compared to Sensors

So, IDK how true this really is but I recall reading that the optimal angle for light to hit a sensor is different than for light hitting film. So that's a factor in the image output.

EF and EF-S are 'compatible' but only in one direction. EF-S Cameras can take both EF and EF-S lenses. You can't go the other way; on EF Cameras, an EF-S lens will probably not fit and even if it does may damage the camera (i

Really? Every stick car I've owned (2.5 Saturns, 1 Subaru) has had some sort of interlock switch set up such that if the clutch pedal was not pressed in, turning the ignition would do nothing, whether or not the Car is in gear.
