I've never worn a pebble, but I also have a banglejs 2 and I really love the watch for it's hackability. I've written my own watchface and a couple of other apps and made changes to a number of existing apps, it's really

It's an excellent point. In such a scenario, if you're bound to a rigid workflow system, you will probably have a hard time recreating all the intermediary steps required to get the system back into a consistent state with the ext

It's true that e.g. medications and alcohol can increase the risks for the child, but many people also have apnoea (often without knowing) which can also lead to sudden movements in your sleep. The article says there's no socio-ec

Yeah, it's pretty much the same story for me; after having found out how to get all the same features in KDE that I had in xfce, there was no way back. I always like to use the lightweight and less resource intensive software, but argu

Great work and great write-up! I especially love the MAINFRAME BREACH PROTOCOL that comes with it.

It would be awesome if there was a mode in which the pronunciation of the names is also same in the two languages. For example, in french there is the name "Arnaud", which exists in German as "Arno". For a bilingual chil

I immediately have to think of the potential uses for VR: lightweight setups for Varifocal lenses are one of the missing corner pieces to create a life-like VR experince. I'm excited to see where they will go with this research!

Redundancy also adds a lot of complexity, as fail-over mechanisms aren't simple either. That added complexity then turns into additional possible error sources. A friend of mine builds a component for a satellite system and the FDIR me

It's not even a cipher, it's just an encoding. Nobody would be surprised if chatgpt would be able to also understand e.g. utf-16. What's interesting here is that base64 does not have the exact same byte sequence (such as a si

This is the reason it only works with directx 8 or 9: they have a pretty rigid render path with a clearly separated vertex and pixel shader pipeline. For directx 8, you would for example specify light sources as part of special draw calls t

The readme states that currently it transfers around 2 gigabytes per second which is 16 gigabits per second. The rest I leave as an exercise to the reader.

I think that the bigger problem is the misuse of Tags as the sole method of marking a commit for release for example. Tags could be utilised for naming commits which would make it much easier to reason about where in the process of your dev

Once steam OS is available to the general public for all kinds of computers this is definitely the last nail in the coffin. I use Windows solely for the reason of gaming and otherwise have switched to linux and never looked back

That is true, the network needs to be stable in any case, but the keyframes have "bursty" traffic, therefore increasing the latency compared to b-frames (and p-frames) Ever since h264 there is a feature called intra-refresh, which

Your joke is not as far fetched as one might think! There have been multiple instances [0][1] of a Tesla (and also other car makes, for that matter) where the image recognition system could be tricked. I wonder at which point we'll dee

I never understood why incrementing a pointer while doing another operation, such as a comparison, is considered good style in C, TBQH. I think the go example is much more readable.

I have authored a small library for reading audio metadata in Python and I can say with certainty that ID3v2 is really one of the weirdest of all the meta data formats. For example between version 2.3 and 2.4 the size of the bytes to store

Interesting question. I guess what makes us call something an AI is that it's an interactive recombination of a corpus of knowledge as opposed to a static one (such is the library). GPT-3 is far from sentient, that's for sure, but

"Ceci n'est pas une pipe", as Magritte woyld say. It's always the observer, that makes a thing into what we believe it is. Without an observer nothing has any meaning. The AI does not have to understand words and objects
