Yeah, the condensation issue was a problem for me too. I ended up having to take them in for repair to Apple several times. The noise cancellation went flakey, the auto-switching went flakey, they would crash [1] if lifted one cup from the

It has been suggested numerous times, but the BBC didn’t just record over the top - the tapes were erased with a degausser before reuse.

You're correct but as Uvix has said, BBC Enterprises made film copies for overseas sales before the original tapes were erased. The earliest episode to survive on its original videotape is Ambassadors of Death episode 1 from 1970. None

It’s easy enough to say “put the zip first because that will tell you city, state and country in one input”. What happens to customers not in the United States? They have no zip to enter. Or if they have a postal code of some stripe, it has

Possibly! The tool was definitely named Atlas when it was going to be an open source tool made by 280 North [1]. But it could have been renamed Ninja after Moto acquired it. [1] https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2009&#x2F

Yes, after which they announced they were canning their "Atlas" project, which was meant to be an Interface Builder for the web. Motorola decided they wanted to keep the technology in house. No idea if they ever did anything with

I think originally Apple was using SproutCore, which had similar aspirations to produce "desktop quality" web apps, and was one of the early frameworks to implement things like two-way data binding. This was back when iCloud was c

Every so often I get weirdly obsessed with Objective-J, which "has the same relationship to JavaScript as Objective-C has to C". It is (was?) an absolutely bonkers project. I think it has more or less died since 280 North was acqu

Supposedly, although the team at Apple were able to implement it. I think they had some oddly named technology like Chicken which created a shadow stack trace? Half remembered.

I assume the 98% compatibility on ES6 for V8 is because they don't have tail call optimisation?

I agree 72 characters is plenty for most circumstances. However, as the blog points out, this is a byte limit not a character limit. Some of the family emoji can be > 20 bytes. Some of the profession emoji can be > 17 bytes. If people

Correct. The Beatles appearance on Top of the Pops survives only because a clip from that show was used in episode 1 of The Chase. Ironically, The Chase often has rights clearance issues when it comes to home release because of this. Beatle

But all it takes in that world is for a single browser vendor to decide - hey, we will even render broken XHTML, because we would rather show something than nothing - and you’re back to square one. I know which I, as a user, would prefer. I

On the one occasion I met Steve Furber, he told me about how when they connected up the very first chip, he was surprised that the it started running before he had even connected the power. Turns out the design was such a low power design t

I assume this is the reason they're characterising this as "PHP License V4 will have identical wording to BSD-3" rather than "We will switch license to BSD-3". It amounts to the same thing, but the former framing me

It is not unreasonable to try and write in a fashion which attempts (perhaps unsuccessfully?) to coax people away from Mercola’s world. Even if you are fully steeped in that alt-med rabbithole, I would hope the revelation that Mercola’s inf

Some placebo proponents would advocate for things like pain, nausea etc. However, others advocate it for cancer, and run studies where people imagine they don’t have cancer and then measure their tumours to see if they shrink.
