Appositives are my favorite.

This would be the same Antigravity 2.0 that "surprise, no longer an IDE, did I forget to mention that? Lolol."

I bought a flipper zero to reverse the shitty wireless remote that my pool equipment vendor wanted $1000 for. This remote sent signals right in the middle of the flippers range. Th…

In their defense, a website not working on a popular browser was on-brand for the era. This is just part of the operating nostalgia.

Exactly my thought. I know languages differ in support ... but enum is right there .

I don't understand this em-dash crap. MS Word automatically converts dashes used for appositives into em-dashes. The world is awash with them.

I wonder if the common gap here is the inability to reify specification. LLMs seem to be a significant step forward in converting language to code, but they don't seem to engage se…

Get Scramble and let me know if you can beat it. At a young age, that game destroyed any interest I had in video games. I played Scramble for hours, always dying at the same point …

What's the point of this story? Bad actors win? Here's a hot take: Name and Shame. If this story is true, the author should be shouting their names from the rooftop. Instead, we ge…

Still the best subscription I've gotten in years.

This. Had to deal with cosmic rays on earth in data centers 20 years ago. I can't imagine running bleeding edge GPUs in a particle accelerator and getting reasonable results.

Hey, I've been a subscriber for a while. I love it. I wear the tshirt. Thank you.

Apocryphal story time: Had a family friend who was in a kicking oompah bad in the early 60s. They thought there was going to be a surge in this market, and were getting some pretty…

That may be the most buried lead I've read in a decade. I still have no idea what the point is. I gave up. Anyone care to summarize?

Made me stop reading for awhile.

He argues this point exactly.

Control over jitter would be less ideal for very tight deadlines due to branch prediction, cache misses, instruction counting, etc.

How else would you do lights out eye tracking for heatmap evaluation??

Not one photo of said frog. Look, new rule: you write an article about frogs, you include a photo.

In either case, my grounds for cancelling early really had nothing to do with the year-long case. My grounds for cancelling is that the software didn't work. And I don't mean in so…

If I recall, the problem was that they were refusing to cancel the subscription unless I paid the cancellation fee. My argument was that while I may have agreed to the cancellation…

This is not how it was presented when I signed up, 8 years ago. I am aware of the differences between monthly and yearly subscriptions with discounts.

This was ~8 years ago. I am fairly careful when signing up for services and subscriptions, having learned hard lessons when signing up for gym memberships in the 1900s.

I mean, maybe technically. But the "its yearly with a cancellation fee" was not qualified in the sales information on the sign-up page. Maybe it was in the fine print. Given that c…

Let me regale you with the story of my Adobe Subscription cancellation. I had been considering learning Illustrator and to align myself, I decided to get a little skin the game. I …
