Right, the 20% boost is unrelated to the Gilectomy. > though, as Guido van Rossum noted, the Python developers could always just take the performance improvements without the concurrency work and be even faster yet. Why be 10% faster sin

I don't think the goal is to "compete on speed", but I'm sure people wouldn't complain about their Python scripts running 15x faster on their 16 core CPU. And it is also about flexibility. What I love about Python i

For all intents and purposes, Index and Vive are equivalent when it comes to the game support, so while at a hardware level Index is better (though Vive is about to announce new stuff too, and the Vive Pro is quite competitive with Index),

> more game support Is that true? From my understanding, Oculus has exclusive games, as well as supporting all open games, so Oculus basically supports all Vive games + a bunch of exclusives Vive doesn't. What games do Vive support

> It’s not required that you have an account or even use the software That's the key point. The fact that some people weren't even able to use their Oculus device when FB went down for hours is insane. Imagine not being able to

Would be ironic since OP caught an exploit that their entire team wasn't smart enough to catch... yet somehow he wouldn't know about something as basic as VPNs?

Assuming you didn't care about the path, could you also take some optimal path where you go east to west to prolong the days, then go west to east to shorten the nights. Could probably play with south/north too depending on the ti

is 10$ the cost the customer pays, or the cost of the delivery? I highly doubt the little electricity (or maintenance cost over time) is 10$ per delivery. Also, as a straight comparison, drones are faster, scale better and are able to work

Again, not to take away by the amazing feat Tesla has achieved, but Google has had similar videos going back 2-3 years, and they are still not ready to release. So either the problem in practice is much harder than a simple video can show,

I still finding it silly that they are trying to go straight for L5 (which is the only case where you can fully remove the steering wheel). By the sound of it, they already have an L4 going (can drive itself in 99.99% of the situations, mig

Yes, I believe they have an L2 but are working towards and L4. Google is still going straight for L5, which is the only case where you can fully remove the steering wheel. It's a huge bed, and a bit silly, honestly. I feel like at this

I think they explicitly say "simple merge conflicts" in the title. At the end of the day, you should use your own best judgement for when this is useful, and for when you need to go back to your workspace. It's most definitel

It is, but slack seemed to go for a more corporate angle (along with Microsoft Teams), and there's not really anything for more casual users. On the other end of the scale we have Skype but that's more for personal chatting and th

The part that's surprising to me is how instantly popular of a startup it became with so little information. Was this "demo" they gave so damn good that all the investors (some really reputable ones such as Google) started th

Let's just agree that both Apple and Google are doing fantastic jobs in this sector, and other big tech companies need to step it up.

It's definitely an interesting technology and a bold idea, but personally I have far more issues with grocery stores than just a 2m line. For me, the far more time consuming part are: 1. Finding where something is (yes, after months yo

by Ph0X 10y ago
Social experience at a grocery store feels contrived and not everyone may want it. Maybe you enjoy talking to your cashier but not everyone does, so why should everyone be forced to just because some do? It makes much more sense to keep gro

The point isn't that we save 2 minutes, it's that there's now 10 less job we need. And that may seem as a negative at first, but the idea is that as more and more job get automated, prices should go down until the point where

There's a download button at the top, though it just goes to the htm file, I believe you can just save that and use it fully offline as you mention! Good tool to have saved for sure.

In the corner of each there's an MDN link which has that info, though having it inline would be neat too. Also maybe a link to www.caniuse.com

Reddit isn't meant to be a source nor is Wikipedia, but it's a place to find information. They can be seen as central hubs to get information. If a person comments on Reddit with a valid point and sources all his facts, why does i

I guess, but I'd imagine there's always more work for creating new sites than for maintaining old ones.

Candy box [1] was actually the original IIRC, or at least the one that came before the drowning and cookie clicker and was the inspiration for them. Also check out Candy Box 2 [2] which is honestly a full game. [1] http://candies

So you're upset because they had a system that automatically banned people intentionally trying to break their system by running a massive illegal reselling scheme? These people were far from being innocent little bystanders who were h

Yeah, let's be honest, if you're running a scheme like this, you probably have a hunch that it may not be the most legal thing ever... why the hell would you use your real account with all your information instead of making a new

Google isn't just Gmail and Youtube anymore though. Maybe it was 5-10 years ago, but now there are dozens of products. Music, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Android. All of those require an account. You're basically implying that they sho

Indeed. I visited Persepolis a few years back during the summer. Mind you, that's a place with 2500 years of history, and there were maybe 4-5 other people there in that giant historic place, visiting? There were only 2 guards covering
