I've never worn a pebble, but I also have a banglejs 2 and I really love the watch for it's hackability. I've written my own watchface and a couple of other apps and made changes t…

It's an excellent point. In such a scenario, if you're bound to a rigid workflow system, you will probably have a hard time recreating all the intermediary steps required to get th…

Disclaimer: I don't mean to disrespect anybody by posting the title of this work. The content is not sexist or racist. I posted this video in response to the thread about facial re…

It's true that e.g. medications and alcohol can increase the risks for the child, but many people also have apnoea (often without knowing) which can also lead to sudden movements i…

Yeah, it's pretty much the same story for me; after having found out how to get all the same features in KDE that I had in xfce, there was no way back. I always like to use the lig…

Great work and great write-up! I especially love the MAINFRAME BREACH PROTOCOL that comes with it.

It would be awesome if there was a mode in which the pronunciation of the names is also same in the two languages. For example, in french there is the name "Arnaud", which exists i…

I immediately have to think of the potential uses for VR: lightweight setups for Varifocal lenses are one of the missing corner pieces to create a life-like VR experince. I'm excit…

Redundancy also adds a lot of complexity, as fail-over mechanisms aren't simple either. That added complexity then turns into additional possible error sources. A friend of mine bu…

It's not even a cipher, it's just an encoding. Nobody would be surprised if chatgpt would be able to also understand e.g. utf-16. What's interesting here is that base64 does not ha…

This is the reason it only works with directx 8 or 9: they have a pretty rigid render path with a clearly separated vertex and pixel shader pipeline. For directx 8, you would for e…

The readme states that currently it transfers around 2 gigabytes per second which is 16 gigabits per second. The rest I leave as an exercise to the reader.

I think that the bigger problem is the misuse of Tags as the sole method of marking a commit for release for example. Tags could be utilised for naming commits which would make it …

Once steam OS is available to the general public for all kinds of computers this is definitely the last nail in the coffin. I use Windows solely for the reason of gaming and otherw…

That is true, the network needs to be stable in any case, but the keyframes have "bursty" traffic, therefore increasing the latency compared to b-frames (and p-frames) Ever since h…

Eversince that backblaze post I've been monitoring only these five relevant SMART values and replace a disk once I have 2 of these values being in the not-normal range. I haven't h…

Your joke is not as far fetched as one might think! There have been multiple instances [0][1] of a Tesla (and also other car makes, for that matter) where the image recognition sys…

Looks great in theory, but does not work on Android Firefox unfortunately.
