Figma on desktop is an Electron app I believe. Figma chose to build a custom webGL rendering engine for their design canvas, so the core issue is that technical decision early on (probably allowed for some better…
Because I can do way more meaningful design exploration and iteration if I am not constantly running into a tool's limitations. I work at a fast paced startup where my prototyping rapidly iterates into production and…
Sketch has the same issue with handoff. Sketch does not use CSS for rendering either.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) would not have been possible without a completely unrelated discovery of a heat-resistant bacteria by a federally funded scientist years earlier. Is it possible that eventually a…
Not doing basic research, and your research is entirely driven by short-term profit motives rather than long term benefit of humanity.
Funny enough I also got diagnosed with gout once in my 20s. I have always had somewhat bad toes/bunions (probably partially genetic, and partially wearing only tight soccer shoes as a kid) and I went to a wedding…
Honestly main reason is the UI and speed. Cursor has consistently felt faster and easier to use with better inline auto-complete and faster large edits in chat than VSCode ever did. The way suggestions and chat is shown…
Looking at the performance it's quite clearly much faster than equivalent effects done in traditional web browser rendering or in design tools.
It's not so simple. Background panning on modern TVs can look very juttery/flickery with motion-smoothing completely off. OLEDs can turn on and off very quickly, and 24 frames a second really isn't that many, so you end…
Isn't that what they are claiming is true now? That the errors do decrease exponentially with each qubit added?

Or maybe you just have some aphantasia? My visual imagination absolutely can have a time dimension just like my audio imagination. I can remember sequences of film from movies I have seen many times with high level of…
This is where the confusion stems from. I can have very vivid mental imagery, I can imagine all sorts of fantastical things in detail in my mind on command. But that doesn't mean I don't see black when I close my eyes.…
The nuclear explosion analogy is a bit off since for anything living in the simulation the nuclear explosion would be quite real. The explosion isn't real for us in the physical world because it cannot interact with us,…
> It's an idea that comes out of sci-fi. It's been used as a plot device in some episodes of Star Trek. But it's just that, science fiction. I'm not talking about hand-wavy sci-fi or spiritual "the universe is a…
I'm struggling to understand this argument. Our brain is just hardware. Even if there is a quantum effect we haven't discovered that is necessary for it, that effect is still running on regular old atoms and molecules.…
Scratch them with your liver.
What is it with Google Maps refusing to show me the street name I'm zooming in on? It feels like they make it especially sparse on streets your route line uses!
So many comments here are just anecdotal experiences pretending to be absolute statements. Web design used to be filled with ridiculously detailed and "over" designed websites that rarely were hyper-focused on clarity…
I'm sorry but this is just not a reasonable thing to be worried about. Drones are going to be more prevalent across numerous industries and professions, planes and helicopters fly over your head all the time already,…
> Another way of saying this is that unacceptable tyranny will roll in on a tread of acceptable compromises. That's a very black and white way of looking at things. We have vastly more surveillance today by businesses,…
It's more likely someone gets killed by a police car rushing to the scene or in a car chase than a drone falling on someone. These arguments aren't very effective.
Many people hold values like this that are immediately dismissed once the technology in question can save something or someone they truly hold dear. I very much understand and share the fears of a surveillance state. I…
Not enough people know about Pantheon. However both Scavenger's Reign and Pantheon feel distinctly different from Japanese anime. They have a much more Western aesthetic eye visually, narratively, and especially in…
Agreed the built-in window management isn't ideal (although I do like Spaces and Mission Control a lot more than what I've seen in Linux/Windows defaults) but there are a lot of free and simple apps that significantly…
