man, I dont even use Figma for personal & side projects because its so expensive. I still occasionally fire up sketch or freehand it. Figma is a work tool only and I'm disappointed…

honestly this should be updated to the main link, the Anubis at difficulty 8 is astonishingly hostile

There are two factors I see with this: I sometimes like having my content editorialized. Some of the LLM writing tropes are ok to me—I'd delete them if I added this prompt to my in…

it seems like the Pro Display XDR is discontinued. The webpage for that now redirects to the Studio Displays XDR

The point of the comment is that this is not something we should have to tolerate or worry about in a seemingly high-trust society.

You can usually save more by generating solar locally and using it to power the home and charge the battery, then discharging the battery during peak hours (usually around and just…

Not all homes are made equal: different appliances & electronics from different vintages, etc. I have 2 EVs (Tesla and BMW), an electric oven, and a homelab rack (but no HVAC), and…

It seems like this new PNG spec just cements what exists already, great! The best codecs are the ones that work on everything. PNG and JPEG work everywhere, reliably. Try opening a…

Prototype is not a charitable interpretation of the product. If you've been part of hardware, firmware, and software development processes, you'd really truly understand what proto…

How kind of Microsoft to feature Arc, an end-of-life browser, in their screenshot for browser defaults.

I think the point of BlastDoor, as covered in the post, is that Apple is indeed working to prevent injection at the cost of silently failing & poorly handling legitimate messages. …

Perhaps this is a reactionary question, but: shouldn't this be recall worthy? Or is it inherent to Lidar itself? This has the potential to damage safety-critical sensors used in ba…

These counterfactual comparisons are a slippery slope and not as helpful as you think. I hardly think that you, I, or most others have an intuitive understanding for what happens w…
