main thing I've seen on mark rober's youtube is that it allows you to really scout out locations with a speed unheard of for rovers. Also, you can't really(easily) get a helicoper stuck on rocks :)

There's lots of examples of mechanisms that lock out the backwards direction on purpose. AKa ratchets etc.

Your job isn't to code anymore homie. It all becomes a bunch of soft targets as a manager and that's really hard. The one big success I had when I was a manager was getting our client teams to unify on the bugs they were having an

I mean... Judy Garland was... ugh. Here's a pretty tame snippet: "But it was her draconian weight-watch that made Judy the most abused child in the history of American cinema. Judy was put on diet pills from the age of 12. She wa

It's also you need a team (or a PM or two w/ the ability to pull tech resources) of people that are focused on MCAT. Anytime you just leave something static as an org it will rot away in usefulness very quickly.

Their ploy is entirely aimed at google. They fucked up cookie management and pulled the trigger on it early this year, in the middle of a pandemic. specifically around iframes. I got stuck with the ass end of that at my company. We worked

on a 35mm camera (what used to be standard film) it's 50mm lens is roughly human eye FoV. You really need to know the sensor size to adjust accordingly.

AWS repeatedly said they were "together with elastic" in service offerings. They apparently were not, so they were just running on elastics coat tails, offering nothing to elastic, and saying they were totally together. It's

The only time you should NOT be using a native control is when you have UX that demands something very custom. Or you're doing some multiplatform thing, in which case you should try and use a toolkit that can at least pretend to be na

Yeah that would be expensive for the pidgin maintainers, if the other message services had a way to do that via oauth or some such that would be different but entirely not in their interests.

Meebo was the shit back then. (In browser GAIM, even fb chat, irc, etc). I followed a few of the developers for a bit as I really wanted to work there. I believed they got aquired into the g+ team (gchat? maybe?).

I honestly view smaller as lighter, and that I do -really- care about. I travel a lot, so having something ultra portable was my favorite part of the MBP 13". I even had a smaller and lighter 45W usbC charger I could use for it. I r

I dont think there's a particular reason to have USB-A when you can just use a usb-c-to-a adapter. Sure, you have to carry a dongle around but USB-C is just so much better in all aspects ( reliability, usage, speed, unidirectional).

As someone that worked on LuaJIT for embeded devices (IE phones), I have some strong opinions / context. Lua is designed to be small and portable and highly embeddable. It's not the greatest language in the world, but understandi

Ooof. I thought this was the last lecture person. Randy Pausch was amazing and really influenced me on my current life choices. I really can't recommend his "Last Lecture" enough.

I personally saw a lot of value when we (top 20 site) moved to docker over VMs. Using hammer / provisioning VMs kinda sucks. Being able to dynamically scale your app with containers is really really trivial.

What are people using instead of Docker now? I'm a bit confused about your statement.

Privacy vs walled garden is a hard bet. If I really wanted to, I'd just install a different OS on my android over going to Apple TBH.

apples to oranges. The USA isn't willing to invest in a branch of the FAA that can actually go through every aspect of the engineering of the 737-max in order to understand if it's working effectively. Even with the MAX disaster,

I worked at an education tech startup so we were mildly aware of our app being run on slowly performing computers. Low bandwith conditions were more of the worry tho. Honestly, people running slow computers are probably just used to poor p

I'm not really buying that. You can limit ram access but even at a single core i7 you're going to have better JS performance than some i3 from 10 years ago. Hypervisor / virtualization tech should mean you get very close to

Why would a developer be in charge of testing the user experience from the user perspective? Either have good relations with your end users or use QA with properly outfit machines. Or you should -know- what specs your users are using (this

Complete second hand / third hand heresay but: The reason google kills everything is because they do everything via monorepo. So if they don't have enough devs to literally -keep a service up to date with the currently evolving s

I think what hurt intel in the long run was actually their fully integrated stack. They couldn't really sell fab time to other companies cuz they didn't have a good attempt at fabbing for 3rd parties. So they were only fabricatin

I think it would be a little harder to make monetary gains off of this. You still needed to be in physical proximity to trade. I'm not sure if you had the ability to script over the mailbox and change recipients, that could have work
