Is fast fashion not a thing in the US? I was under the impression it was, but perhaps I was wrong...

The steam machine handily beats apple in terms of dollar per TFLOP and dollar per GB memory. It's also easier to upgrade, making it likely to last longer. Unified memory puts Apple in it's own category for certain workloads howeve

Wow the animation makes it really look like an asshole!

Agreed. Half the thickness and ~2x the screen size and it would've been an instant buy. 2x the screen size and same thickness and I'd have to think about it. As is I'll keep my eyes peeled for future versions, I really like t

I once held the belief that any marketing material showed the exact opposite of reality, and this page does exactly that: It doesn't stop AI from reading it, but it sure stops me!

The loose sound switch and broken power button came later, but the rest was day one.

Yeah I've also heard good things about their early devices, which was why I got this one. Maybe they used to be good? As of the 8t, they definitely weren't good anymore though

The issues are legion. First thing I noticed was the addition of bloat. The "stock android"was a main selling point for me, but I do not feel they delivered. The ultra fast charging has been nice on occasion, but I think it's

My wife had fair phone 4, and it was unusable. It was only time she replaced a phone prematurely. She cares a lot about camera though, and likes to take pictures. Her main complaint was that the camera took like 5 seconds to start, so she&#

Good call. I've got the 8t and it's horrendous. I bought because I kept hearing good things about their earlier models and figured it would translate. It didn't. Next will be a pixel for sure.

I had the exact opposite experience. I replaced my pixel 1 with a OnePlus 8t and I've been kicking myself ever since for not going with a new pixel. This phone is awful! My original pixel was so much better than the several years newer

Good. I have a OnePlus 8t and it's the worst phone I've ever owned. I've hated it since day one, but I'd feel bad replacing a new phone, so I've kept it all these years anyway. It's now old enough for me to con

Really? Huh.... Memory is a fickle thing, isn't it?

Silly nitpick but the free market absolutely can, and has in the past, put a monetary (positive)value on your person. We have of course abolished slavery since then. Which is a weird way of saying I don't think we necessarily should pu

Google had a platform called circles once that had a really neat solution to this. If course it being Google, it got cancelled before it had a chance to catch on.

Hey yo,I heard you like diffs, so I put some diffs in your diff so you can diff your diff while you diff! Sorry, couldn't resist. The xzibit was too strong in your comment.

Pretty insane that you can get this close to the real thing this way. Rocket league is one of my favourite games, and I'm pretty decent at it (rank champion 1). I kinda felt like my controller was a bit broken when playing this, a lot

Very thankful someone is doing this work! I suspect it will be thankless work for a while: we're not far enough into diminishing gains territory for anything other than the absolute best being worth considering for most people, but I r

Dammit! I live in Europe and the cyber truck isn't even available here.. That said a huge pickup truck is about as far as you can get from a Camaro... Then again I'm not exactly David Hasslehoff myself either... Meh if it talks th

Wait, you can talk to Teslas now? How did I miss thiS? Can I get a red led bar and basically have a KITT?

I don't understand this line of reasoning. How are you hindered from doing any of those things? What part of "AI can now do X" makes it so you can't also do X?

Believe it or not, shit happens in the software business. I know this from personal experience.

Yeah that seems about right! I mean, it is a property of the code itself also, but the code is not the only place quality resides. I think it's fair expect that any piece of software will require updates, and a high quality code base i

I think readability is very important for quality. It creates resilience against any hardship that requires changing the code, which is probably most hardships.

by amarant 2mo ago
I disagree with the initial premise >Quality is the absence of problems A low quality code base can be problem free if surrounding circumstances are forgiving enough. Conversely, a high quality codebase can have a lot of problems in diff

I thought this was gonna be about uptime. Well I wasn't very far off I guess! Perhaps "5 nines" is a good threshold for new CSS features too?

Probably Europe. Seems more attractive for researchers. China is probably too different to be attractive for most Americans.

R.F Turner is a pretty nice example of nominative determinism. Parents up and named him "radio frequency dial", so of course he works in antenna technology
