Until the micro/nano-patterned surface gets dirty at least.

No one wants _buggy slop code_ for their game, but ultimately no one cares whether is has been hand crafted or vibe-coded. As proof, ask yourself which of the following two options…

Except in Slow Horses, most of them are exceptional at least in some way. Many of them are too difficult to work with, yes, but they do excel at _something_. That is very different…

It might have to do with the fact that (at least on iOS), you can participate in a Google Meet call with just the Gmail app, as well as authenticate sign-ins, and who know what mor…

Have you tried Ctrl+Enter?

I would love to do: - set aperture priority (fully open for most cases) - set shutter speed to AUTO with a limit (never open for longer than 1/100 s) - set ISO to AUTO with a limit…

If I set aperture priority to "maximum possible light in", I often have an issue that when there is insufficient light, the camera decreases shutter speed instead of cranking up th…

The pixel 4a battery life saga was what made both me and my entire extended family never even consider buying a pixel phone again (and move to Samsung or iPhones). Google denied th…

Cool to see the growth. I have a minor suggestion: while the spinning counter showing "Estimated growth: 123.5 users since last update" is cool, it would make more sense to only sh…

I still miss the icons for items in the hamburger menu, this was one of the worst changes ever for me personally. > More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter If this means …

I realize my experiences are anecdotal to the two Pixel 4a phones in my family, but the numerous reddit threads about the Adaptive Battery issue (4a) and the later unexplained stan…

This is a laudable effort, but maybe the Pixel team should first focus on feature updates not completely messing up their phones for months at a time? Owning a Pixel 4a has been gr…

3500 is way too much when trying to introduce a new platform. I guess that's the cost of the display (two apple watches) and the chips (a Macbook and a half). But still.

Doesn't Jackett still need trackers such as Rarbg to function?

I sure hope the knight is not called "calvary" in that many countries as suggested by the legend in the second map. Unless there is a connection between the knight's movements and …

Heureka/Toppreise/... is nice if you know which model you want exactly and you are looking for the lowest price with shipping. But if you're for example searching for a new laptop …

This might be true, but both czc and alza have much to learn from digitec/galaxus regarding their website useability/cleanliness/etc. Alza nowadays is closer to Aliexpress than any…

It looks like good competition on the high end, but these numbers would indicate AMD is not much ahead of Intel in performance/price around the 12600k tier. Alder Lake i3/i5 buyers…

And this would be a great way to explain how optically active materials [1] work. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

I think using the term "re-emit" is a mistake on my part. I fully agree that the photons are not absorbed and re-emitted. However, their speed of propagation in the material, and t…

In my opinion, this question is impossible to properly answer in the framework of Maxwell's equations / field representation, since it cannot be defined in those terms. If I were t…

I have used the word "re-emit" in the sense of the Maxwell equations description of electromagnetic fields. You are right that the light definitely does not get absorbed and then r…

The magnitue drop is reasonably simple to understand in terms of fields. The oscillating optical field might be less effective at exciting material oscillations in the middle filte…

While this explanation is very nice, it still does not actually explain what is happening on a material level. The light does not "pass" through the middle filter, but it excites o…

The one where waves in the sea look like long-exposure photos of a waterfall are also pretty clearly wrong to the observer. It's funny that there is such a fundamental disconnect b…
