That's never going to happen. I guarantee it.

Yeah this one actually pisses me off about the iPad. The Mac calculator in RPN mode is my goto but on iOS, nope!

I think you're extrapolating that far beyond the specification. Honestly I've actually tried to sit and write code on an iPad. I forced myself to exclusively use one for 2 months. It's one of those things where it's enti

I appreciate the effort that goes into these products but I find the market position weird. Case in point: by the time I add a keyboard case to my 11" iPad Pro, it weighs more than my MacBook Air does and it's not a lot smaller. I

I used excel macros to run stuff that was banned on corporate PCs for many years. Never used it as a spreadsheet in that time!

Having watched my mother swearing at this on numerous occasions I would not make that assumption.

Did something similar here years ago with original Unreal Tournament. Spent up to 8 hours a day playing it on week days, 15-18 hours at weekends for two entire years. Just woke up one day, walked into the bathroom, stared at the mirror for

Totally agree. But the thing is that costs money and the real desire is to tick the compliance check list at the lowest cost. So they throw out some software assurance tech, force staff through a click through phishing training program once

We moved a load of stuff from an acquisition from Azure to AWS only because it's under one cost centre then so we don't have to pay or justify as many invoices. After futzing with this stuff for years though I really would only us

Interesting point. I may have to write a performance test suite for it now and test this.

I appreciate the notion but my objective was to do the exact opposite of this and keep away from external dependencies and scripts where possible, apart from the solitary go-sqlite3. The result is about 30K of source (including Go, CSS, HTM

I would love to see more stuff like that. An application I have written recently for personal use is a double entry accounting system after GNUcash hosed itself and gave me a headache. This is based on Go and SQLite. The entire thing is on

Yes that’s the point. The marketing points to that as the big cost but it’s insignificant compared to the real cost which is running workloads on it that aren’t optimised for price first. Which is probably most of them from experience. Then

Remember you don’t pay for invocations. You pay for memory, latency and traffic. That constrains how you build architectures with lambda. Anything bloated or written in low efficiency languages, or does any amount of compute or latent netwo

That’s a great analogy. Even if it is slightly depressing.

That doesn’t really work either. I can afford to lose 75% of my income in any month. I have been in a situation where losing 5% of my income is financially crippling.

Well you still end up with less sensor surface area with 4x as many pixels on the same substrate because there’s a gap around each cell and the micro lenses are smaller. So you can aggregate them but you’re still getting less light. There’s

Haven’t gone near those mounts. All mine is Z mount recently and F mount going back to the dark ages.

You’d want good low light performance there which means a smaller number of larger pixels.
172.
by uuyi 5y ago
It’s mostly a problem of pixel size. The smaller the pixels the less light the pixels get. That means really terrible low light performance. And no software can’t magically make that as good as a pixel 4x the size. The only advantage here i

Yes. To be fair all low value financial punishments are ethically reprehensible on this ground. They don’t dissuade anyone with money because the consequences are low or easy to appeal and people who are poor are punished harder. This ends

No no no it's a terrible idea full stop and I've been in car accidents before. In fact I had someone roll a car into my front garden a couple of years back. The problem is reckless incompetence, ego and ignorance behind the wheel.

What happens if the plate is incorrectly read? I have had this with my old vehicle leading to being fined for entering a car park but not leaving it. I disagree with points 6 and 7 entirely. You can observe wheelbase compression standing on

Lot of assumptions here on measurements which really make this laughable. You need the following to make the measurement have any sort of validity: Assuming simple s = d/t 1. The wheelbase data source is accurate. (d) 2. The vehicle ty

I dislike this and it should go away. Firstly, anything which normalises surveillance by citizens on citizens is a death spiral for society. On top of that the £14.99 for 1000 credits approach empowers only the lunatic classes of society wh

Similar problems. Weirdly a Dell WD19TB works fine. I decided after arguing with this pile of junk for the best part of a year to scrap it and buy a desktop mac and stop the suffering from persisting any further. My laptop was docked 95% of

This is my biggest concern. The more we centralise on GitHub, the more we centralise the risk on a service which goes down harder and more often than our Jenkins infrastructure did.

After battling with Linux on the desktop periodically for a couple of decades I came to the same conclusion. All the boring problems like consistency and stability are never solved. Only new problems written. I gave up and went to Mac. It’s
