Isn't that the default? The user has access to all available memory unless they (or an admin) set a restriction. Unavailable memory is only unavailable because writing to it crashe…

Disk, memory, and CPU limits? The app should crash, not the kernel.

Pantone is not a color space. They are a supplier of physical color samples. Most pigments can be represented in a color space, but that representation differs based on illuminatio…

Gilbert's is a liver disease... https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17661-gilbert...

This applies to engineers as well! The ability to connect specialties is what separates the outstanding from the great.

Yeah, I don't mean it literally, nor do I necessarily agree with the concept of 10x engineers in general, but it's a useful shorthand. I would bet doctors vary somewhat less than o…

> The lesson for me is that you must advocate for yourself and your loved ones in the medical system, because doctors will not do it for you; they may not even perform the most bas…

Navigating by clicking and holding a desired position on the scrollbar is completely broken.

I love this, but it does not seem to conform to standard UX best practices. If I click and hold then move the mouse away to release, I assume an element should not register that as…

Why assume bad faith? I've witnessed a barrage of "proof of concepts" at my dayjob by folks who have zero intention of ever hooking up their dashboard to our actual messy data. Shi…

Doom, Quake, and assumedly your games don't use their command line as primary input like this.

> I break about 1 USB-C plug a week. Wild. How often do you break the phone itself?

I explicitly do not mean "poor," that's why I choose "unknown." A better word would have been "variable." The point I intend to convey is that you need to use other signals to judg…

Why would ordinary cornering need to use the shoulder?

It's a strong signal of unknown quality. Caveat emptor. Closed-source makes that extra difficult. We are used to this, hence why folks here point it out.

Yup, that's the exact video I had in mind!

I bet 5 million coupled oscillators, all slightly detuned, would sound freakin' amazing.

"I'm sorry we couldn't resolve things before they caused you to leave."

It can write some fascinating stuff, but you have to learn to think in it: https://enkimute.github.io/ganja.js/examples/coffeeshop.html A major problem is that its a very general t…

Keep in mind that the energy density of nuclear fuel is astronomically higher than that of coal, so even if the processes were equivalently wasteful (and I'm fairly certain they ar…

Despite my background in color science, I find RGB more intuitive. With HSV I have to remember the chirality of hue and it's zero point, and when changing hue I find it difficult t…
