The big gotcha for Vue2 was the performance when you wanted to display a list of like 10,000 things. I like to tinker with data and a lot of my day is spent on an sql prompt inside…

In my admittedly limited experience in image hashing, typically you extract some basic feature and transform the image before hashing (eg darkest corner in the upper left or look f…

I think that's what these people are doing at Project Final Fantasy 6. I haven't delved into the details but the screen shots look just like Octopath Traveler.

Are the stakes really lower? A simple brake job gone wrong can literally kill people. I can't remember the last time I miscalculated profit/loss for a client where the result was a…

Claims of "there are too few good programmers" tend to have an implicit "...at the price we wish to pay...".

you need an ABS( ) in there no or else the negative sign gets counted? Also some languages will write really big numbers or really small numbers in engineering notation (eg 10,000,…

The income that is paid to you derives it’s value from the stability of the backing gov’t. I don’t think money is as “yours” as you think it is. Gov’t is already involved whether y…

I play lots of blues guitar, I am familiar. That chart is basing it off the C minor scale which would correspond to the Eb major diatonic scale. If you play an Am blues scale which…

You're missing anything that uses notes outside of a typical diatonic scale. Example: The first 2 notes of the popular piano piece Fur Elise. It uses an Eb. The piece is in A-minor…

Kodak isn’t the best example since they made a digital camera back in the 70’s and sat on the tech!

I end up doing exactly the same thing though I start with the intent of starting a project. What usually happens is there is no particular algo or technique I wanted to explore and…

What is the video fingerprinting method used? Is it a publicly known algo? I was using a combination of "dhash" for individual frames and "simhash" to generate shingles for a bunch…

That's a good comparison I haven't thought of before!

No information can be conveyed by the wavefront and so nothing is actually moving than the speed of light. What you diagrammed is called the Lighthouse Paradox: * https://en.wikipe…

One of the reasons why I sometimes don't like the term "tech debt" is because you can take it on without knowing it. This is not true for financial debt. When you borrow money, eve…

Consider their response an input signal and not necessarily instruction from them. If my little niece comes crying saying there is a monster under her bed, of course I know it's no…

It's the risk and uncertainty that changes everything. It's not just the mobility that changes. I have to take care of a sick family member and often times have to spend multiple d…

Have you ever been ill for long periods or had to care for parents, siblings or other loved ones being ill? Many people do. Of course they can choose not to care for anyone and lea…

I've combined hand held bracketed shots. There are problems at the edges of things due to slight shifts in location and parallax but this can be handled in photoshop and HDR (I use…

Why not a single exposure? My camera (Nikon D750) shows up as having 14 stops of DR on DxOMark and IRRC a typical monitor in ambient condition is 8-9 stops. I haven't tested any of…

The compounds are often super complicated though. We can run fancy wines, bourbons and Coca Cola through a mass spectrometer and see exactly what's in it... but we can't currently …

This was my reaction to Flash. It's not a "real" programming environment is what everyone told me. Yea but it was a great authoring tool for non hard-core programmers. I helped a d…

Rolex used to replace all worn parts in their movements as part of their servicing at no extra charge. Do they still do this? If so, then I would push off the service as long as po…

What if a developer's machine was somehow compromised and the bad version of the file was put into the actual repo or deploy? I have no idea how likely this is or if it is a possib…

Do you really have to actually service them at 5 year intervals? I have Seiko SKX with a 7S26 movement that still people routinely say it goes 10+ years without a service. When you…
