The most curious thing about this project is how people seem to have a visceral reaction to having photos of them made without their permission; but having their activity tracked online hardly evokes the same reaction. It's weird. What

Regarding the NY Times test drive, I would recommend to read an independent review rather than taking Musks blog posts as gospel.

Musk has a history of going after people who critisize him in public. He (and his staff) have again and again attacked journalists, former employees, and anyone else who said anything bad about Tesla or Musk. A common thread is that they al

The difference being that SQL is a standard that's used across many products, has a very flat learning curve, and will be familiar to anyone who uses databases. Whereas Blenders UI is unlike anything else and has a very steep learning

Yes, there are some users that are really helpful. I also thought that my users are great at reporting bugs. But when I added an automatic crash reporter, I was shocked how many crashes happened that nobody bothered to report. Maybe 1 in 10

I have some experience developing desktop apps. Less than 1% of crashes are reported by users. And only around 50% of users who do report a bug will provide follow up info such as crash reports or diagnostic information. Before I had automa

Right, but I don't really see why you would need separate accounts. In my experience a single account for multiple projects is actually very convenient (with rules to automatically sort incoming mail). In my opinion, multiple accounts

Adhesion. The water molecules are attracted to the surface of the structure by adhesive forces. This means that when the water molecules are away from the structure, there is "potential adhesive energy". As the water moves closer

According to their website, Fastmail allows up to 100 custom domains on a single account, so it's not like you need to buy a second account if you just want to receive/send email on a domain.

It's a pity that this law has apparently been so watered down, and basically just cements the status quo. Spares for dishwashers and washing machines are already available, and 10 years doesn't really sound that long for big appli

We have mandatory code review for every commit that goes into our app, and still stuff like that routinely slips through. You need a lot of experience to spot errors like this, and stuff will still slip through.

A very large number of open source projects use a workflow similar to the author: Source code on Github, documentation on Github pages. If a new tool doesn't work with that setup, nobody will use it.

This is not about licensing. The problem is that DocC is incompatible with the current tools that many Open Source projects use. Sure, you could use DocC for an OS project and set up your own server to host it. It's probably pretty che

I have the same feeling. I think what people usually mean when they say that we don't understand flight is that there are no simple equations. A lot of physical problems have elegant solutions (eg. the shape of a hanging chain is rough

Also, making illegal sites slightly harder to visit by blocking certain domains is really a rather mild form of copyright enforcement. I'd much rather have that then companies suing some kid who downloaded a torrent.

No, it's more like mandating freight companies do not deliver to certain addresses.

Especially at night, and the drone apparently only had a small light on it, so you'd probably make out nothing on the video.

I just wanted to say that I also suffer from this problem. I think I only do real work a couple of hours per week. One thing that works for me is pair programming, but I can't do that every day because it is so exhausting.

You could include a photo of the person in the QR code, but I'm pretty sure most people would prefer just the name to be included.

You can get tested instead of getting a vaccine. (Also, a vaccine is not a "genetic treatment". Not even an RNA vaccine.)

The funny thing is that Ferris isn't even hiding what he's doing. According to the book (I read a couple of pages in the Amazon preview) he decided on the title "The 4 work week" by A/B testing various titles and us

> Productive masculine behavior is shamed nowadays Can you list some examples for that? It just doesn't match my experience. When people complain about masculine behavior, it's never the productive kind.

As are genetics. Psychological illnesses often first manifest in the teenage years and they happen in all kinds of families. People always want to look for some kind of reason but sometimes there just isn't one.

You already reach a lot of people with your posts on HN. You are one of the few names I recognise and I always appreciate your comments. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

That camera system tracks a single, largish object in perfect lighting. I think the biggest problem with insect tracking is focus: They are so small that they can only be recognized if they are perfectly in focus, so you probably can't
