I think you're downplaying it too much. Of course comparing the event to better organized insurrections makes it look more innocent. But don't forget, the rioters erected makeshift…

I quite like the James W. Cadle one from 1970.

RIP Dark Sky

A better example might be why we build stairs with a standard riser height and tread run. If you've ever accidentally tripped on an unusual or non-standard stair, you already know …

It will certainly involve AI somehow.

I love that Magawa's wikipedia article is structured just like a human: Early Life, Career, Retirement and Death. A few weeks ago when "Croatia declared free of landmines after 31 …

Then, respectfully, what is the point? Does the trillions-of-dollars AI industry exist to support a few hobbyists building niche products to scratch their own itch? I thought the p…

Where are these small businesses and startups? The software economy should be booming, right? I’m not seeing it.

Fellow New England -> Colorado transplant. It was pleasantly shocking for me too how much chattier and friendlier people are in Colorado. But now I've lived in Colorado long enough…

There are still contemporary watches that use radioactive isotopes like tritium for illumination. I’ve always wanted a watch with always-on lume. Here is a good example, the Marath…

I imagine capacity/density and reliability/durability are more important factors than read speed when it comes to archival.

I reckon the developers most excited about AI & agents never got the same thrill or satisfaction that you do. Those developers are plainly motivated by different things, and that’s…

I doubt people would complain this much if they came across a weather app that is only supported in the EU or China or India. No one would say Yet another China-only app with China…

My spidey-sense: the "it isn't X, it's Y" construct and the dreaded em dash.

Are there cameras that can actually read VINs on moving vehicles?

I don’t understand. Are they AI PRs (as in the title), or did you write them yourself?

I can't tell if you are replying to the comment or the post because the topic of TFA is literally comparing protocols and services. Discord and IRC are both mentioned in the post.

ahh that makes a lot more sense!

I guess it depends on what "large file" and "regular size SD card" mean to you. The best selling SD card on B&H is 128 GB. Let's consider that "regular size". Fujifilm's GFX100 II …

> Same goes for the limited number of shots on a roll of film. You can approximate the same limitation on digital cameras by simply using a very small SD card.
