In case you missed it, it’s an xkcd reference

At a previous job we had an unholy combination of the last two:

HTTP/1.1 200 POST /endpoint 
{
  "data": null,
  "errors": ["403", "unauthorized"],
  "success": false
}

That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.

This is the opposite of the time my friend posted a link to my personal site on Digg. It was running on a Pentium 1 with 128 MiB of RAM on a home internet connection.

Carrying the body of a smaller plane in a larger plane isn’t an antipattern either. Airbus does this between body assembly and attaching the wings.

I learned lolcode in college because we had to write a sorting algorithm in assembly and “any other programming language.”

Yep! Most of us are even homo sapiens!

Here’s a real-world use case that also won’t require insane GPU power.

Here’s a real-world use case where this difference is noticeable to the average person. We don’t need to render video games at 1000 Hz, but many things that can be rendered with comparatively low GPU power could be made a better experience with it. The real question is whether/when the technology becomes cheap enough to be practical to use in consumer goods.

Here’s a big part of why they want 1000Hz. You don’t need to fully re-render each frame for most cases where 1ms latency is desirable - make a 100 Hz (or even 50 Hz) background and then render a transparent layer over it.

I thought one of the main advantages of sodium-ion batteries was price? Great for the applications you listed

Ugh Linux… I tried so hard to get viruses working in wine but in the end I gave up. Full compatibility my ass…

I’ve had three sets of earbuds where the right one has died of no apparent cause shortly after the warranty expired.

I’m starting to think it’s intentional.

Probably because it’s a template and somebody copied and pasted without remembering to paste as plaintext

Until the user experience is not “spend hours on forums to find hacky fixes for things that just work on Linux” it’s gonna be a tough sell.

Why I personally can’t go back to Windows.

Technologically, Apple are far behind. But they’re trend setters in terms of the fact that their big marketing and outsized mind share make people want those features.

It’s dumb, but that’s where we are. iOS is essentially the IE6 of the mobile space at this point, holding back real advancements until Apple figures out a way to make a buck off them.
