    I want to see that shader. How is sloshing implemented? Is the volume of the bottle computed on every frame? Clearly, there's some sort of a physics simulation going on there, pres…

    "asdf".indexOf("as") is 0 but "asdf"[0] is NOT "as". so there can be no expectation that ""[0] is "". Those two operations are not related to each other. It's more intuitive if you…

    You can get knowledge (e.g. mathematical) without observation. You can't get information without observation.

    "Reasonable" is an unfortunate word IMO. An assumption doesn't come out of reasoning. We can't even estimate the probability of this assumption being right because we can't see the…

    A script to arrange 2 pages of a PDF side-by-side. Another bunch takes care of creating invoices, gathering bank statements, and paying using the bank account. Finally, a temperatu…

    If you're clipped in, why would you keep feet from sliding? Preventing sliding by pushing is how effort is wasted and is a possible explanation why a cyclist might feel much strong…

    Those are not necessarily examples of lifting . Those could as well be explained by the contribution of not pressing on the opposite pedal (to keep the foot from sliding). And not …

    Is there a fixed-function circuit that can read a digital value out of a sensor and compare it with a threshold? I'm not dounting it's possibly, but I'd be surprised if it's availa…

    To let it turn off when you're not using it. It uses an inertial sensor.

    What the fuck are we doing as a society that we have such a system of perverse incentives in place?

    More generally, they are called smart cards, and can be in the form factor of a USB stick (not mass storage USB stick).

    Does the secure enclave need to be built into the main CPU though? A key store on a USB stick or on a TPM will never allow your keys to be exfiltrated, yet it's not part of the CPU…

    A dream - the code contains a hash which identifies the file. Like ipfs + bittorrent.

    It's ironic that property rights have been eroded in the name of protecting property.

    It reminds me of the cycle of enshittification: once you have a captive audience, you start bumping the profits at the cost of the user experience. It looks like something similar …

    While I agree that your child is not you and FOSS doesn't need to be your child's value, it needs to be said that FOSS is the software author's value. It correlates with the author…

    The problem is that it's not an either-or. Adding app operation alongside coin operation would have been an improvement in useability. Replacing coins with apps is just making it s…

    IMO not every coder is sloppy with use-after-free. Not everyone is slopy with incorrect mutability. [...] Not everyone is sloppy with $THING[N]. But it's hard to consistently not b…

    Does failing after 10 years count as a failure? Cause living for the next 10 years is not really that difficult, and the relevant people will still likely be around. Sure, the offe…

    It's countered by not making the assertion and not being able to make conclusions. You only need a lack of confidence for that. It's orders of magnitude easier to not have knowledg…
