This was an extremely obvious example of when the private sector could've collaborated to solve a problem. SVB was doing a capital raise just last week. Instead the VC community colluded to accelerate the problem and is now asking for

That's a misunderstanding - when a bank originates a loan: - the bank records an asset (the loan) and a liability (the deposit in the borrower's account) - the borrower records an asset (the loan money now deposited at the bank) a

I’m really turned off by how there’s zero critical consideration of their quoted research. They’re just hammering you over the head with quantity. Sleep is like diet where there’s virtually no scientific consensus on even the most basic thi

Many languages (e.g, NodeJS) won’t even let you share code. So you can’t really do stuff like have hundreds of threads without being very careful with the size of your application code, because each thread will get a copy.

Having what feels like 100ms of input delay at a minimum is pretty awful. Idk if there's some magic way to speculatively render extra frames so that input is resolved locally

"senior vs junior engineer" content always feels really cringeworthy. Particularly because self-proclaimed senior engineers tend to insist theirs is the One True Way. It's even worse when it devolves into "X framework&#x

At the end of the day you're always "inventing new details" to turn sensor data into an image. Most algorithms involve edge detection and predicting color correlations, and you'll also run into cases where false details

It definitely feels like one of those strategies deployed when people can't actually attack the substance of an argument anymore. Basically "i ain't reading all that" but in a dress shirt

I dunno if there's actually a constitutional way for the US to stop it. They can probably make it hard/impossible for TikTok/Bytedance to make money in the US, but banning the app itself is out of the question, unless Apple&#

I think the comment you're replying to is specifically addressing the browsing data discussed in the post... I don't see how any of these issues are related to Bytedance having your IP history It's a different story if you ar

One slightly annoying thing about esbuild/swc is that they're faster by literally not being equivalent to Babel. esbuild intentionally does not emit ASTs, and SWC has their own flavor that is not compatible with Babel. Furthermore

The usage in HK that everyone keeps citing was as a way to spam incoming Mainland tourists' phones with protest flyers. Like okay, you might agree with the content in this case, but it can (and has) easily be dick pics instead. By yo

Assuming that anyone with airdrop set to everyone wants to receive your files is just wrong

by wonnage 4y ago
I legitimately don't understand how this has been spun into some sort of pro-censorship move. Leaving your phone open to getting AirDrop-ed by anyone in the vicinity just seems like a terrible idea in general, but especially in China.
