I don't think I would want this device for $500, let alone what Apple is asking. What is the appeal? There are a few screen scenarios that make sense for my life: (1) Multiple displays at desk to work; (2) TV + couch;…
In case it helps anyone tinkering with XML and C#, Visual Studio has a feature in the menu to "paste xml as classes". That can be quite handy if you're going to be deserializing it.
This seems reasonable to me. Devs and BAs flesh out business processes and ultimately document decisions in our Jira issue comments. When you have an issue id handy, it's not that hard to go read what the rationale was…
I agree. If we look to music, how can a musician unhear what they've heard? We celebrate musicians when they cite their influences. In the case of a software library, it is a tool, not a work of art. Its beauty is in…
We are currently at a point where the master furniture craftsmen are doing quality assurance at the new automated furniture factory. Eventually, everyone working at the factory will have never made any furniture by hand…
The soap opera effect drives me nuts. I just about can't watch something when it's on. It makes a multimillion dollar movie look like it was slapped together in an afternoon.
Why don't you invest in some 3D scanning equipment/software. Build the physical object or close to it, then scan it and tweak it in software, doing the whole process backwards.
The author is like, "OMG, so many tables everywhere, jeez!" Uh, yeah bud, you new here?
At the heart of it all is language. Logic gates to assembly to high level programming languages are a progression of turning human language into computed processes. LLMs need to be tuned to recognize ambiguity of…
"y'all'dn't've"
I think they just needed a quick and dirty solution that was good enough for a few days. They figured that for 1% failure per hour, they needed to kill x processes every y minutes to keep ahead of the failures. I'm sure…
Your take is much different than mine. The issue was a practical one of sparing people from working too much over one weekend since the bug would have to wait until Monday, and the author willingly described the…
I would say it's totally normal for a 2nd language's swear words to have much less impact on one's psyche than one's maternal language.
The elderly? I'm drawing a blank.
Good comment. I looked up "nexii" out of curiosity, and it appears that "nexuses" is the appropriate plural, FYI.
I think if the stone were kept exceptionally clean, it would go a long way. The dark stained look adds a lot to the sinister vibes, IMO.
This makes the most sense. Start a timer when the UI actually hands control to the player whose move it is, stop the timer when they've completed their move, and simply subtract that from their remaining time. The…
Totally agree. "Your paper is flagged for plagiarism. You get a zero." "But I swear I wrote that 100% on my own. What does it say I plagiarized?" "It doesn't say, but you still get a zero." In what world is this fair?…
I have the same questions. If it's known that disclosing certain information will stastically lead to worse outcomes due to patient reaction, what do you prioritize - better possible outcome or patient autonomy over…
They ought to make this thing a 2-seater so a loved one with an oxygen mask can sit next to you and hold your hand.
I find his stuff sloppy and uninteresting, too, and he has no charisma. This just goes to show that he really does know what he's doing. He identified the statistically meaningful things to focus on and perfect. Imagine…
The post is silly because you wrote software that makes use of argv[0]? On the contrary, it opens a discussion about unintended security implications that might be avoided in the future if command line implementation…
It's too bad VSCode doesn't "hydrate" features on an as-needed basis or on demand. Imagine it opens by default with just text editing and syntax highlighting, and you can opt in to all the bells and whistles as you have…
to be fair, it sounds like the author only referred to the manual after making uninformed decisions.
I also found this concerning.
