Keep in mind this is relatively new. The press seems to be spinning it as an "ah ha, old phones really are getting slower!" Well, yes, now . I mean as of 10.2.1, so a year ago, but people have been thinking their phones were g

That’s what sensor fusion is for. That said, inertial nav can take a plane across the country without correction and get within sight of the target. I think integrating actual speed while on rails would be vastly more accurate. And really,

That this is a problem is just ridiculous. It's on freaking rails! There is absolutely no excuse for this. GPS, Inertial Nav, simply integrating speed over time, it should be absolutely dead simple to calculate exactly where the tra

I agree with the "because it's fun to learn" answers. But I'd also add the reliability factor of keeping a quorum of containers running. It's a tool for dealing with the unreliability of cloud infrastructure, and u

Yeah, fugitive seems pointless to me. Might as well just use the git cli...which I do, but when I want something quicker to navigate/visualize, magit is my go to.

The problem here in Oregon is not presorting the recycling. The centers can’t sort to the level of “purity” required and people don’t realize how truly problematic it is to be lazy in presorting. I honestly didn’t think it was that big of a
