They don’t seem to do it anymore, but for a while the title on Disneyland.com would kinda sparkle in HDR when you loaded it on the right hardware/sodtware (safari on MacBook Pro for example). Was actually pretty subtle and animated out

yeah, that's probably more along the lines of what I was thinking, actually, you just worded it better :)

Don't you think the next step is a programming language that isn't even meant to be human readable? What's the point of using an LLM to generate python or Swift or whatever? The output of the LLM should be something that runs

For me, the killer app for me has been sidecar… I work from home, and like to work outside in the summer. I’ve been using my MacBook Pro and my iPad as a second display via sidecar. One unadvertised feature of this is that you can use the p

You need to define the room in Alexa ecosystem then this works fine. You tell it a room, and what devices are in it, then it’s “smart” about it. Don’t have Hue specifically, but Alexa doesn’t import room springs from other ecosystems I’ve u

Any source of what brands/varieties are smoked vs not? I’m able to get quite a few types imported from South America, but from my attempts at translating the packaging and trying to Google things, I can’t tell what’s smoked or unsmoked

Came to say this, happy that someone else did. It changed my life. I now have a graveyard of weird ergonomic devices and wrist arm braces, and can happily code all day on my laptop keyboard in any position. A few years ago I couldn’t write

Start with `git rebase -i` to clean it up (reorder/squash), then create new branches and `git cherry-pick` the related commits into 3 branches. Submit PR/MR for those... At least, that’s what I’d do. Curious to hear other ideas.

You need to use either the built in Mac client or something like Remotix if you’re using Windows. Every other vnc client I’ve tried performs terribly as you say.

This is amazing! With this codec and enough processing power, you could do this bidirectionally and have enough bandwidth to stream a two way realtime voice chat using 2400bps modems over a standard analog phone line!!! ... Oh... Wait a mi

Much of the target audience would be much more comfortable with pen and paper. Maybe in 20 years an online version will be better.

I don't know about it being so easy for someone with an actual impairment... My only experience was with my mother, who recently passed away from a stroke. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in her early 60s. I have no trouble be

The AppleTV part of the app is native tvOS. It's using SSE as well... there are a few ways to do it, here's an example https://github.com/neilco/EventSource/ I'm doing something quite similar in swi

My experience was almost identical to the author's. As improbable as it sounds, reading the book and following it's advice completely eliminated my RSI pain after 3 years of dr visits (steroid cream), physiotherapy (tens, ims, ma

The book is actually The Mindbody Prescription. This cured me of 3 years of horrible RSI pain. I did go to Doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists and had anti-inflammatory creams, you name it. Nothing worked for more

I posted on the previous article as well, and on RA's blog as "concerned bystander", lest you think I'm just stealing his ideas ;) I've done some googling and found a reference saying AirPlay is supposedly licensed by Apple for $4 per insta

by mr_donk 14y ago
That's my point. Isn't getting the private AirTunes key equivalent to the DeCSS case? If Apple had just made a proprietary undocumented protocol, that'd be one thing, and I'd agree that Apple wouldn't be able to force licenses on people.

by mr_donk 14y ago
That's a good point... I based my assumption on the fact that they require a private key for receiving, but not sending. I guess that doesn't necessarily prove anything...

by mr_donk 14y ago
I did put stolen in quotes every time I used it because I'm not sure that is the correct term. Here's how I see it. AirPlay is something Apple sells a license to. Assume Rogue Amoeba didn't buy a license, but used someone else's, and then

When I posted my reply regarding AirFoil a while back, the article wasn't loading... now that it is, you can see the developer actually explains Apple's stance and gives an example of why they do what they do. He says: "But then something r

by mr_donk 14y ago
There's 2 parts to AirTunes (the part of AirPlay that Airfoil and AirFloat use), Sending and Receiving. Up to now, AirFoil only used the AirTunes protocol to SEND streams to AirPlay devices. If you reverse engineer the protocol you can se
