Looks very nice! I'll give it a spin for prototypes. Would love to check out /docs but it's currently a 404.

It's not possible to smoothly move your eyes unless you are tracking a moving object. Your eyes always move in saccades (quick jerky movements), unless there is a smoothly moving o…

Burying the lede here, the real story is that he was already 60 Cent by the time his first album dropped.

I think it was just an outage that unfortunately returned 429 errors instead of something else.

They don’t always grant refunds for App Store purchases, I’ve heard from many customers whose refund requests were denied after we referred them to Apple. As a developer I would lo…

The Quest's Snapdragon GPU, like most mobile GPUs, uses a tiled rendering [1] architecture. The basic technique for rendering gaussian splats is kryptonite for this architecture, e…

The DoJ is forcing Google to sell Chrome, so that won’t necessarily use Google search either.

Again, they don’t drive or steer remotely. What sometimes happens is a multiple choice question is presented to the operator in an ambiguous situation: Can I drive through here? [Y…

It’s pretty surprising that they believed this. The heart is very obviously thumping in your chest, and it’s very easy to notice that the (visible) veins in your wrists, neck and t…

Ah, I clearly didn’t read it closely enough. Thank you!

> Today, iOS users already have the ability to set a third-party web browser — other than Safari — as their default. Reflecting the DMA’s requirements, Apple is also introducing a …

Ah, you beat me to it. Yeah, not only do the link sources not support the claim, they actively debunk it.

No idea where they got that stat from because it's not supported by anything they've linked to. The article attributes the stat to "a study by Business Insider" but the reference l…

That was a joke, the fact that he has no shares is the punchline. He is basically saying they have no leverage to stop him speaking out once he’s been fired (which they might if he…

I much prefer the handheld scanner method, in which you scan while you shop. This used to be more widespread in the UK before self checkout took over. I seem to remember it being l…

House arrest? Multiple friends of mine have reported spotting him at SFO over the last few months. Here's a video from someone (who I don't know) from late March: https://twitter.c…

Doesn’t seem unlikely at all based on his dad’s career/bio (see the Wikipedia page posted elsewhere in this thread).

Based on the article it sounds like Apple would default to their _own_ search engine, which they would bundle with their browser, which is the only browser option on their OS, whic…

That was 12 years ago! But you're spot on, because they barely changed anything in those 12 years and everyone rolled their own solutions. This year, they've _finally_ introduced a…

Using the likeness in perpetuity is insane. I think this could be fair for background actors _if_ it was scoped to a single project. Come in, get scanned, maybe do some mannerism m…

When writing a game in JS, it’s very important to minimize garbage collection - too much will cause periodic stuttering and freezes. To avoid GC you want to minimize runtime alloca…

Good idea, that sounds very viable. Thank you!

It’s a continuation of the trend that led to them removing Extended Validation indicators: https://duo.com/decipher/chrome-and-firefox-removing-ev-cert... Here’s how they used to a…
