A silver-coated umbrella is very effective at protecting the face as well as some of the upper body (or the whole body, if the sun is directly overhead or the umbrella is huge), except for UV reflected from elsewhere which I think is usuall

Another instance of a trivial and obvious feature that can only really be designed one way that is not implemented 4 years after initial proposal.

For some reason the Rust project seems to be plagued by glacial development speed, with features taking years and years to be stabilized after design and often even after initial implementation. Not sure why, progress used to be way faster

The code just ignores variable declarations. All variables are 16-bit words. It just hashes the variable name and uses twice the hash value as the address of the variable in memory For functions instead it uses twice the hash to store and l

Why do people use pills rather than copper IUDs? At least based on information on the web, it seems copper IUDs are strictly better: cheap, easy to insert and remove, nothing to do after initial insertion, no side effects other than "i

The article claims that deferred rendering doesn't support MSAA, but this is only true for a naive implementation. You can, for example, generate a stencil mask of complex pixels in the prepass and use hierarchical early stencil reject

Can't you do most of what scrub would do with something like: find . -xdev -print0|xargs -0 cat > /dev/null (ideally replacing cat with something that continues after errors)

Is there any feasible way to run a non-Android OS on a phone and still have power efficiency and support for Android apps with multitouch, GPU acceleration, etc.? (i.e. some ready made solution that runs Android in KVM efficiently, or provi

Use a Pixel phone running version of GrapheneOS built and signed by you with your own keys, or use stock GrapheneOS and don't lock the bootloader, and add root access if desired. That's the only hardware/software system that

The simplest definition of natural numbers is as the free algebraic structure generated by a nullary and unary operation (conventionally named "zero" and "succ"), which makes it natural to associate zero as the value of

The whole point of this attack is to be able to make a lot of requests for each IP address. If you are making one or few requests per IP you don't need this attack, and also aren't likely to have any effect on a Google-sized entit

Isn't this trivially mitigated by throttling? And the throttling seems even simple: give each IP address an initial allowance of A requests, then increase the allowance every T time up to a maximum of B. Perhaps A=B=10, T=150ms.

If you have a reversible connector, then you might be entangled in a dilemma of which way is the "better" or "optimal" or "canonical" way, while with a non-reversible one there is only one way and thus no dilem

The sort function has no reason to ask for all three comparisons. Rather, it can ask for two comparisons and act according to the results (e.g. it learns that 1 < 2 and 2 < 3 and returns [1, 2, 3]). This makes the output unspecified i

by devit 3y ago
"Unspecified order" seems a poor guarantee. I think a sort implementation should return elements in an order consistent with a subset of the comparison calls it makes, and that subset should be such that it fully determines the or

In my experience most of the flagship phones are slippery enough that it's not a rare event to drop them if you don't use a case made out of a higher friction material. Of course that's an incredibly dumb design, but unfortun

Getting non-native games to run on emulators can sometimes give a similar experience. You can also do things like having a Linux machine with a powerful GPU but no GUI installed.

They could drop Gecko and switch to Blink/Chromium. Then Firefox would be guaranteed to be strictly better than Chrome, since the baseline is the same and they can put in all the features that Google doesn't want because they woul

It seems that the problem is that the Onewheel is a fundamentally flawed design that should perhaps not even be legal to sell. Basically the issue is that the only control available is turning the wheel, but an unstable scooter actually nee

Seems very uncomfortable and only useful if someone really can't afford the $100-300 for a normal camping air or self-inflating pad, which seems miles better than this. And if you are OK with uncomfortable then a simple closed-cell foa

I think it would be very useful for scouting in woodland/backcountry use including search&rescue. At 50 km/h, it moves 10-20 times faster than a hiker, and at <1000$ it's more than 100x cheaper than a plane or helicopt

Is there any system that works for at least 10-20km without line of sight, supporting a video feed usable for guidance, without cell phone network coverage? Maybe something where there are two drones, and one flies high with line of sight t
