Much of the criticism of the Iphone photos is the fisheye effect. This is exaggerated, because you took the photos from different distances. If the Iphone photos were taken at the same distance, a cropped version of the Iphone photo would h

We are? There are games like this in any modern "arcade" like Dave & Buster's. If you mean why aren't we building highly specialized hardware like this any more, I'd say it's because most of that complexity

Better on every axis: security, performance, resource consumption, reliability, verification, documentation... Code is a pure liability that you accept to get a useful service.

I rode in a Waymo for the first time last week. The highest praise I can give it is that it's boring. It drives like a careful human with zero surprises.

It's not better though. The STR template processor behaves the exact same way as all the other examples, and it's the one that all the inexperienced devs prone to this kind of injection attack will use.

Even with SQL we recognize that while aggregate roots and ORMS are great for storing and editing single items, they're terrible for use cases where the data is _used_, and you're better off using different query mechanisms to slic

They did a poor job of qualifying "cheap". They link to a $50 Harbor Freight unit, which is a proper temperature controlled soldering station. It should certainly be made clear that a $20 wand with no temp control is right out.

The free subscription on my 2021 Toyota expired 16 months ago. Remote start still works. (Well, the fob button sequence is as finicky and inconsistent as it always was, but it does work.) I think Toyota changed their minds on that feature a

Why is there a "Jupyter+Git" problem specifically? Why aren't we worrying about the "C+Git" problem and the "XML+Git" problem and the "Python+Git" problem? Because merge markers break, well, eve

An alternative approach would be to relay the signal on the surface, perhaps using a fleet of aquatic animals with the same communication system mounted on them. You know, sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.

I figured that it was either an aggregator/search engine for research papers, or a GPT-3 random research paper generator. After reading 5-6 abstracts, I'm about 60% confident it's the former.

I'm more bothered by the omission of "s". The S in teraflops is not plural, it's part of the acronym. Your computer has 1 teraflop performance? One trillion floating point operations per _what_, then?
