This might be spam, but I also like playing solitaire and hate ads, so I made solitairesport.com. It's simple and has some bugs, but plays well enough on mobile and costs me essentially nothing. Few people use it because buying ads cos

GemStone is a common one, but object databases are not very common due to the maturity, efficiency, and predictability of relational databases. The deep pipelining and caching models of CPUs are a better match for RDBMs than object ones. h

Sadly, not anymore. In 2017 they replaced the comprehensive 4yr/50k mile "BMW Maintenance Program" with the 3yr/36k mile "BMW Ultimate Care", and it only covers fluids, filters, and spark plugs. https:/&#

That's the same argument every model has made for the history of science, but :shrug:. The value of a model is its predictive capability. Thinking any one to be absolute truth blinds us from progress.

Until it's "Bell's Law", I think we should consider quantum mechanics a statistical approximation. Every time QM is questioned people point to Bell's Theorem and challenge anyone to disprove it, when it seems to me

Side loading and the ARM Never eXecute sandbox are totally different things. There is only one iOS browser because reasonable JavaScript performance requires JIT compilation, but allowing writeable executable pages is difficult to secure.

No one chooses phones based on browser engines. Why anyone is upset with Apple improving security by only allowing executable pages in Safari is beyond my comprehension.

It's an old debate, and I'm not familiar with the current usage. Stallman explains: "The two terms describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. Open sou

Perhaps this is a hot take, but Rich's headline is wrong. His argument hinges on the idea that software chooses to be open source out of altruism: someone created something of value, and rather than requiring payment they gifted it to

How does this relate to the proof of the Kahn-Kalai conjecture that made news two months ago? https://www.quantamagazine.org/elegant-six-page-proof-reveal...

Good point, but surely there's a compromise somewhere. Keep the first TCO'd frame for reference maybe? Perfect stack traces aren't required.

It's kind of a weird argument though. How do you expect a for loop to be represented in a stack trace?

I can see the reasoning in that, but in my 20 years in industry this has never come up. When my first child was born I spent a whole year with him, and the only person who was concerned about a twelve month "gap" was me. Take the

Do you want it to be certified waterproof, or do you want it to be easy to open? When they were easy to open, a blue moisture indicator meant your warranty was void. Now you can fetch it from the bottom of the pool and still get AppleCare t

Most of the time when I notice poor font antialiasing it's due to the OS resolution or subpixel antialiasing not precisely matching the panel. An old OS will not have subpixel antialiasing, so if it looks correct you could try disablin

Looking forward to his analysis of the angular velocity, which would be far more interesting. I'm sure it will be out soon since the model on his website should already contain it.

Of course you can, the submitted article does exactly that. His emotions convey that he knows exactly what's going on, and he states, repeatedly, that it is lens flare. Rationally we can see that this is missing the forest for the tree

I assume this project is about making it easier to make renderable models in Blender, not about using Blender as a true CAD/CAM tool, so it wouldn't compete with FreeCAD.

I've had it run with only one ear, and it feels uncomfortably lopsided. Maybe if you could only hear in one ear or had a hearing aid in the other you would want to enable this. In general, accessibility settings seems to be a place imm
