It boggles my mind that some people are more concerned how much fun driving a car is supposed to be vs 60 people dying in the EU in car accidents every day. If 60 people died because an airplane falls of the sky every day we wouldn't s

Yes, projectors with 3LCD tech is what you are looking for. They produce all 3 colors at once via 3 distinct lcds inside the chassis and mix them ahead of time. There are a few to choose from, but they all cost above 3000. The reason why pr

If you want to increase the liklyhood of your contribution being merged, do: * Provide unit-tests * Good types * No breaking changes And if you want breaking changes or grand new features to be merged, you have to show activity in the issue

I used an apple watch since the first one, updated twice, but stopped using it a few months ago. Siri got slower an more unreliable. Automatic sport detection became annoying. And still having to charge it every single day became pretty old

Those packages exist already though. Pretty sure the bun maintainers (or Ciro Spaciari in this case) asked the question "how fast could it be if written in zig?".

I didn't confuse it since I use the mnemonic "formatting text to “justify” is horizontal in my language". Sure you can change that. But that covers the flex default behavior.

When I manage a project and have the freedom to choose my configuration structure, then I always use typescript. I never understood the desire to have configuration be in ini/json/jsonnet/yaml. A strongly typed configuration

Pretty sure netflix does exactly that with their other studios. I guess the big names mentioned in the article (Joseph Staten, Rafael Grassetti) wouldn't go to netflix for a 10 mio. games project, if what they already achieved is 20 ti

We have the rule that commenting on syntax is disallowed. All syntax must be enforced by tooling (prettier, linter). This speeds up code review, because you review what actually matters (patterns used, regressions, bugs) and reduces frictio

Right now AI is like a chissel. It's a very useful tool, but not useful for everything. Banging your head against the wall of capabilities will give you an intuition when you will pull this tool. Just like you learned how to use a sear

When ignoring for a sec. the questionable 30% cut and duopoly: In the age of subscriptions, being able to see all your recurring payments on a single page and cancellable with two tabs without questions asked, is a feature worth paying for.

I guess thank you apple for finally allowing someone else to use the 3n process. Everyone applauding apple for their incredible silicon, but IMO it's 70% just thanks to tsmc.

Yes, kinda annoying. But on the other hand, given that apple releases a new chip every 12 months, we can grant them some slack here. Given that from AMD, Intel or nvidia we see usually a 2 year cadence.

Saying typescript is slow because zod is slow is like saying c++ is slow, because javascript is slow. Not to say that typescript is quick in any way (how could it be, as something written in javascript). But letting typescript execute code

Vite and webpack (and thus turbopack, which is advertised as a webpack successor) are two different beasts. While vite is perfect for most users, there are just some usecases that are not doable with meaningful performance. Without boring y

Thanks for the link. I tried it in my quest 3. The picture quality is awesome. I wonder why those "VR Experiences" are filmed for 180° which is super pixellated. High resolution + hdr + 3d is way more immersive then a super stretc

The history of yarn is fascinating. Dependency management in our monorepo is super smooth since we use it. We are on version 3.6 right now. I admire that arcanis tried something very bold with plug and play and zero installs in version 2 an

> At this point, anyone still "asking for information" knows full well where to find it. It's not March 2020 any more. Do you really think that behavior will improve the knowledge gap?

All I did was asking for information. After all, science is about studies and data, not about opinion. It would just be nice to get a finger pointing in a direction, not the middlefinger.

If you have an interest in making your point, I suggest to reference trusted sources one can read through so people on the fence can educate themself. Blaming and labelling has the opposite effect though.

Yes I agree. A phone should never be allowed to get unpleasant to touch. Maybe apple went to generous with their temp limit, or their sensor has too much play between devices. But also some programs shouldn't be allowed to go full blas

An SDR content brightness slider for a non-apple HDR monitor/projector would be nice. Anyone knows if Sonoma has changes for this in stock? Edit: Updated now and it seems like nothing changed :(. External monitor still becomes dim for
