Coding is a tool to solve a problem, but, to many it is also a culture. It has a history, it has connections, it has lore, it had some loosely commonly held values, and yes it abso…

Would someone mind explaining the technical aspect here? I feel with modern compute and OS paradigms I can’t appreciate this. But even now I know that feeling when you crack it and…

There’s a lot of good advice here, and everyone I know is different about how to overcome executive functioning issues. But one bit I’ll add: ADHD can be incredibly lonely. Not eve…

When I first used Rust, I was using failure and it just made sense to me. And then we got the 2nd (3rd?) wave of error libraries and nothing has ever made simple sense to me since.…

In all my undergrad and graduate level Physics, I don't think I ever used the value of R. The answer has nothing to do with the numerical value--that you can google. It has to do w…

The occlusion would need scans form the phone which I can think of one company that can do it fast, then you need to figure out where in the world the user is if you want to occlud…

One incredible use is actually in network training for things like AR and autonomous driving. You want a slightly fake world and you could easily try out various network approaches…

Recently been working on a rails app and been forced to use nano for editing one a remote server and it's now that I really see the niceness of YAML. I always like YAML with ruby b…

This is super fantastic. Well written and just the right amount of approachfulness and wit. Sometimes articles about things like this go too far into metaphor and lose the reader. …

I’m no airplane expert but I find the trend lines of the industry interesting and one trend has been how fuel prices and long lead times on fuel efficiency has lead to formerly con…

I love all of Rust’s documentation it has really been great to see as I learn the language. I can pick up a language easy enough but to pick up a language’s specific idioms is real…

Using apps that support Open In Place has been magical. I now use my iPad 24/7. Terminus is really great and although I was hesitant to spend money at first I just think the app is…

As someone who works with GIS data and map meshes this is really awesome. Hats off to the author.

Certainly birds might not adapt to be less sensitive. I certainly would hope that research will be done to check how the type of EM pollution will affect nature. It might not but i…

I mean congrats to the team, but I’m really not sure there’s much scientific use in this mission. Don’t get me wrong, there is tremendous engineering and propagandist value that co…

...ugly bridging code in Objective-C. I have had a similar issue getting the Unity team at work to use native plugins but they’re inability to be comfortable with C++ is not an iss…

I believe (based on the fact she was arrested Dec. 1) that her name was part of the tight information security but once it gets out that she has been arrested the news are allowed …

Lol someone’s defensive. I believe this is called being insecure.

How is this in any way relevant?

iOS does not involve sending your source code. This involves ensuring your app runs in their Hardened Runtime and is properly signed. Apple checks that there is no Malware.

He was basically forced out of retirement for Jobs. Jobs loved his sushi

I didn’t know that and that’s kinda annoying. It’s my storage space (which they provide to me for the price my company pays) I should get to fill that with any arbitrary bytes. Why…

When they transitioned to Intel they even said they had internal Macs running on Intel for years waiting for this day.

It’s possible it’s because of Gurman (the author). Mark Gurman was a big Apple journo and has great sources. Bloomberg scooped him up and he’s been at the front of big Apple rumors…

You're making me miss my hometown. Everything there is just amazing, I love the city and the people in it. The people are so kind and the transportation is stellar, and you can lis…
