The answer lies in monopoly.

I support this joke.

But can they find our little R2 unit?

Yes, they are assholes. But what are we to do with it? This video, unfortunately, does not represent anything particularly out of the ordinary, and shouldn't be taken as "how to handle it" either. She repeatedly volunteers th

So what?

Cool, thanks! I wonder how many of those can run well on a Raspberry Pi.

This is really informative, and the simple FM-synthesis demo confirmed my guess as to what the term meant (since I could never be bothered to look it up). Fun! Is there a highly-regarded software (or hardware + software) emulator for the DX

I see what you did there, and raise you an octave.

It's woefully impractical for a laptop, specifically because it CAN'T be flexibly positioned where many people would want it. Plus, you'd have to lug an additional and cumbersome device around with you, occupy a USB port with

Jony Ive presided over the worst usefulness/usability regressions and design blunders in the history of Apple. That guy is a pompous hack who, in the end, had no ideas for the advancement of products. His only M.O. was to take function

For sure, the "Magic" mouse is another Apple entry in the Hall of Peripheral Shame. "Does anyone who stops to think about this for more than 2 seconds actually want this?" Really? Have you ever heard of Wacom? They built

That's sarcasm, right? Surely you're not lauding this asinine peripheral that is supposed to be jammed into a fragile port to recharge while sticking out like a chopstick waiting to be snapped off. Surely you're not lauding a

The fact that you can't say WHAT Apple should do with AI is exactly the reason they shouldn't do shit. When you can state something concrete about Apple's products or services that can be improved with so-called "AI,&quo

That's an absurdly vague declaration. What do you want them to do "in the cloud space?"

Sad. Microsoft, after advancing the state of consumer-oriented computing more than anyone else through the '90s, is now a despicable anti-customer troll. Nothing epitomizes that more than the reduction of all users to a goddamned &quot

This thesis is absurd. Who gives a shit where the poster's identifier sits? No one. It's all about the feed. Instagram's feed is full of bullshit that has nothing to do with anyone I follow. It's a conduit for spam at th

Thanks! Intuitively this sounds like it enables what at one time would have been called bad programming (widespread reliance on RTTI), but on the other hand a lot of rules have turned out to be arbitrary.

by ShadowBanThis01 3y ago
Indeed, but I only wanted to include so much pedantry!

This is a pretty cool prototype for something I'd considered Godot for: a GUI for a device running embedded Linux. In that environment, you want the least bloat but some decent development tools so you can iterate reasonably fast. That

Does the "pattern matching" referred to here work like JavaScript's "destructuring?" It's the thing where you can call a function with an object, but the function's parameters extract one or more of the ob

"FAANG has first-class support and commitments to Java" Nobody told Apple that.

Not to mention that Node isn't a language, and Deno is cleaner.

Thanks. I'm going to watch that MS video and see if I'm still as pissy about the ribbon afterward. Ribbon aside, there are still lots of regressions in Word. The handling of styles, for example, which used to be excellent. Now Mic

Exactly. Unless the "upward-pitching tendency" under high power is extreme, any competent pilot should be able to keep the plane's attitude as desired.
25.
by ShadowBanThis01 3y ago
Yes, two would be very ill-advised. I think there was some incident where a plane had only two pitot tubes and of course this caused problems. Or... I may have simply misremembered pitot tubes instead of AOA sensors in the Boeing case.

Thanks for the tip. I use Reader view in Safari on the Mac, but Apple has obscured it on mobile by making the icon look like only a font-size option. Heaven forbid they use consistent icons in their own products.

Fair enough; I didn't go hunting around for my discs to check the order of "video" and "CD" in the moniker. "Video-CD" was widely used in China long after DVDs came out, lasting almost until the HD era (wh

Every time I see "Open"AI's fraudulent name, it pisses me off. I'm sure it augurs a new era of non-open "Open[bullshit]" branding.

Ha haaa! NO, I have a decent-sized 45 collection and there's no confusion about their awesomeness! Most of them sound better than the dynamically-compressed-to-shit streaming "remasters" of the same songs today. I also have a

I think they say they bought an album on CD, not a record on CD.
