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; (3) laptop + lap

It's hard to grapple with the degree of the offense. It is offensive. Imagine a small village a couple hundred years ago with a central square and something like a bulletin board. Someone paints an explicit painting using a village you

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.

As a counter point, it may be quite subtle and hard to notice what goes wrong when you remove something to see what happens. Imagine you see a large sql query that has a bit of logic that doesn't make sense to you. If you go change 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 for a feature. I

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 accomplishing a sp

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 and will have grown

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 analogy is strained. Software is closer to a food recipe than a building. Trying to make a 3-layer strawberry banana cake with pineapple frosting? You are going to have to bake something and taste it to see if your recipe is any good. T

I've got loads of Notepad++ tabs open for various things. No concerns about having to save them as they auto save, and they persist if the system reboots for whatever reason. Other than that, I just use indentation to organize related

The writing felt like it was deliberately long-winded as though being so would complement the point it was trying to make. IMO, the author did not make a compelling case that their wordiness was worth the time spent reading it.

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 intention in human language

It would make a lot more sense to boil the frog over a long period of time with steady, scheduled increases in tariffs instead of pouring scalding water on everyone's heads all at once. Even with plenty of capital and willpower and kno

I knew I explained that poorly. What I mean is that, in comparing "y'all" to "all y'all", a simple "y'all" is "you guys (and maybe me)" while "all y'all" is "you guy

Having never given much thought to it, your analysis rings true to my native Texan ears. There's another usage that comes to mind, though. One might argue that "y'all" borders on a second person plural inclusive of the s

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 it would be muc

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 solution as the worst.

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.

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 interval gets sent to

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 i

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 their own life deci

Think elementary age children who go to school. Most parents would not want a first grader to have to be home alone for a couple hours. School age kids don't need 100% interaction while at home - they just need to be safe, and their pa

It would become a game to NOT capture x% market share to the degree that it suited interested parties to avoid it.
