    Who needs testing when apologizing to your customers is cheaper?

    I'd hope that it's based on calendar months. Wouldn't invoices that span multiple years make things a lot more complicated in terms of accounting in general?

    As far as UI/UX is concerned their tvOS app is in a really rough shape. The web UI has a fairly reasonable program guide (edit: for Live TV), while the app doesn't. Also navigation…

    Doesn’t the ESP32 have internal pull-up resistors, thereby making that extra resistor unnecessary?

    Maybe that‘s been their strategy all along? I.e. demand the impossible and then back down to more „reasonable“ prices to appease the masses.

    A request for a list of personal data they’re processing would be interesting. How would they even comply with such a request?

    You won't need people for that once AI systems start improving themselves.

    I've been looking at their website for the past 10 minutes or so and I still don't know what _exactly_ this does. It seems like this is a local firewall (remember ZoneAlarm of the …

    Didder is fantastic. I'm using it to convert images to grayscale for use with Waveshare e-ink displays. I've found no other tool that both lets you specify a custom palette (withou…

    Yes, it does. The delay of the first start of an app is quite noticeable. But the transpiled binary is apparently cached somewhere.

    While technically true it would be more accurate to say that no features are _planned_ in advance and it’s entirely up to individual contributors to decide what they work on.

    Is it just me or is understanding those examples virtually impossible if you're not intimately familiar with that particular framework? Then again... I guess that's the author's po…

    Also, there's "different" vs. "diferent" in the examples: source:2:2: error: _Static_assert failed "types are diferent" 2 |static_assert(typeid(a) == typeid(double [10]), "types ar…

    Also, because the transformer's secondary winding is galvanically isolated touching the wires wouldn't even necessarily trip the breaker and disconnect the current. Lots of people …

    At first glance this looks like a site that should be easily cacheable, at least for non-logged-in users. Also, I'm surprised this isn't using HTTPS.

    That does seem logical assuming farmers are acting perfectly rational. I wonder if that's the case though given how people have been responding to the events of the past two years.…

    Our old one bedroom apartment was 550 square feet and I can't imagine what WFH for two people would've looked like there. We were very fortunate that we moved to a larger apartment…

    In line with their company name they should call them telescreens. On a more serious note, that kind of work environment attracts people who don't give a sh** about the company's g…
