Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is

Regarding your last paragraph, it's actually more severe: Eventually the silent push notifications (content-available: 1) will not be delivered to the app at all. They are throttled by how much energy the app uses when launching in res

Imagine a protocol for a download: Required 1. Download finishes 2. Download fails Optional 3. Download progress (for updating a progress bar) This seems legit to me. Would one really want the added overhead of having to implement 3 as a se

You're right, memory management was a requirement in the early days and it created more cognitive load on the dev in exchange for not having to stall for garbage collection. But Objective-C has had automatic reference counting since ar

I see optional protocol methods as hints to the other developer that if you want to implement those methods, you can, the data is there. At least that is how I use them in Obj-C, which is proving to me to be the more flexible alternative to

I'd like to try one of these out, but at $20 per bulb it's a a bit steep. Are you able to comment how they compare to the Feit Electric 90+ CRI bulbs sold at Costco for a few dollars a bulb?

I'm curious about the technology they are using. Is it an actual mesh network or point-to-point wireless?

Yes, it is slow on a basic outlet. But they are capable of charging much faster on higher amp circuits. A 240v 32-40 amp outlet, like a clothes dryer outlet, pushes 20-30 miles per hour. This is what is called Level 2 charging and the major

This. The infrastructure to fuel the cars of the future already exists. A basic 120v outlet charging for 12 hours afterwork and through the night nets most EVs about 60 miles of range. That covers the roundtrip commute of 90% of the populat

Would you mind explaining the mechanics of this in more detail? I too was wondering why whatever I did seemed to sound good.

But there is still going to be cumulative error and drift, right? Has this system reduced the cumulative error so that in some pedestrian use cases it is accurate enough?

So it measures the difference from zero in the accelerometer signals when the foot is planted and then accounts for that when the foot is moving?

I'm guessing C is how they get the performance they need. Re-writing in Obj-C or Swift would likely have speed tradeoffs.

There was a manufacturing defect with the PoE system on those switches. Ubiquity had to bring them all back and correct it. They are available again now.

I believe Veoh tried to be like a decentralized YouTube using a bit torrent like viewing client. But this added user acquisition friction because they had to install something versus just pointing a browser to a url.

Google chrome plays 4k YouTube videos on the Mac but Safari does not. Is there a reason that Google cannot ship the VP9 codec with their Apple TV app? Or is the Apple TV 4K hardware unable to accommodate VP9 and will never support it?

Agreed. The Man in the High Castle keeps the main characters going, unlike Game of Thrones, yet each episode leaves me feeling more uncomfortable than GoT's red wedding - which arguably set the modern high water mark for audience distr

A similar oversupply happened right before the Great Depression. Wheat prices were dropping from too much supply partially attributed to newly expanded prairie farming in the US. But these farmers owed fixed costs on their mortgaged land. S
