Do you genuinely think Angular's template language and all the complexity it comes with is better than JSX just saying "anything between {} is plain JS"?

Of all the ways to write how your HTML is supposed to look from JavaScript, JSX is probably the closest to Javascript there is. It's a very simple syntax translation to JS function calls, and all code / logic is still plain JS. Every other template language that invents their own loops / conditionals / ways to insert variables is waaaaaaay further away from JS (and also still needs tooling and editor support).

The better European induction cooktops have an individual touch slider control per "ring". I have some family members with those and that control model makes the touch thing a non-issue. No need to wait while pressing +/- either, you just plonk your finger down roughly where you want to be and slide to fine-tune.

I love what she does here: https://youtu.be/XvDZLjaCJuw?t=949, also demonstrating pipes and scripts. The input she chooses makes the whole segment pretty damn funny.

Stardock's WindowFX is probably the closest you're going to get. It's old, was never all that stable and never got super popular (compared to WindowBlinds), but it should work.

Stardock's WindowFX is the Compiz equivalent for Windows. It still seems to exist: https://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/

I remember trying it in the XP/Vista era alongside Compiz/Beryl and it was quite unstable. As a result it never reached the popularity of the (mostly usable) WindowBlinds.

JSX is easy to summarize as: HTML where everything in curly brackets is a JS expression that gets evaluated. There are some additions (prop spreading) and restrictions (curly brackets apply to whole attribute values and element bodies only), but they're very simple.

It's very easy to enable. But yeah, I will admit it's not 'production-ready'.

I've been using it since a few betas in on all my devices, with zero issues. Anecdata and my work is mostly Chrome(/ium) and Android Studio.

It doesn't work very well in office environments unfortunately. I gave it a try with my work MBP and Mac Pro, and the amount of cursor judder / keyboard lag was wild. It'd also just plain not work at times. I think things are better when the environment is less busy and devices can talk to eachother over the same WiFi network (instead of WiFi direct), but it has proven to be unusable in the one scenario where I'd have liked to use it.

64GB RAM was available on the 2019 Intel 16" MBPs (at least). This comment was written from one of those with 64GB RAM.

The camera bump on bump on bump design is really disappointing to see. There must have been a better way to deal with this surely? I can only imagine all the dust and grime build-up in all those ridges, especially in between the three cameras.

Croatia is an EU member, but not a Schengen zone country. The ban is on Schengen zone countries, not on the EU.

No reason why you can't just generate random images and add them to the real database, indistinguishable from actual hashes. As long as the test images aren't public it's low risk, and even if they leak they could be removed from the database and new test images could be generated.

I wish they'd just offer the great current Mac app. It's there, it's fully functional and works great.

This really is a shame. Electron apps are slowly becoming the bane of my existence. 1Password was the only native thing I still used somehow. Android Studio and Terminal are only other non-Chrome/Electron things I use. Even with 64GB of RAM it's a pain. The rendering of everything just gets slow if you have too much open on a high res monitor. Bleh.

I guess there's a large pool of IP addresses used by residential ISPs that could be recycled relatively easily.

When I lived in Ireland I only got a public IPv6, my IPv4 was behind CG-NAT. The nerd in me wasn't a fan of that on paper, but in reality I didn't have any issues with it.

I could see ISPs making a quick buck by switching to CG-NAT on IPv4 so they can sell off their IPv4 blocks.

Those IPs being recycled for servers/services doesn't seem too risky, given that they're not typically hosting anything.

Nope, it's really not enjoyable. To me it felt like fighting the car. I much prefer the "co-pilot" style of openpilot and most other lane assistance systems. Until you can trust your assistance system enough to not want to make minor corrections, Autopilot is always going to be an annoyance.

This is fundamentally where Comma and Tesla differ in approach. Comma's goal is to build the best possible level 2 system that makes driving relaxed and comfortable, and delivering good intermediates in the process. Tesla's goal is to have full self-driving, and any releases on the road to FSD are going to be a compromise.

Having done a Seattle > SF > LA and back roadtrip with a Comma 2 back in March/April, this looks really cool.

Even with the very modest hardware of the Comma 2, it effectively takes all the stress out of highway / stay-in-lane driving. In my Audi A3, the car's ACC handles the accelerator and brakes, and openpilot handles the steering. It made the trip a whole lot more relaxing. It was also just a whole lot of fun to set up and tinker with, the community is great!

I haven't been able to observe anything close to the same quality of assistance system in any other car. Autopilot in a Model Y I drove just a few weeks ago felt plain erratic compared to openpilot, and the way it disengages completely when you make even just a small correction is really annoying. Audi's latest assistance systems silently give up as soon as the lane lines aren't 100% clear or things get a little too curvy.

If they can effectively make use of the additional camera data the Comma 3 offers in future openpilot releases, this will be well worth the price tag.

I wonder if you can use a rhyme to help people. Sander, rhymes with wander (for Americans). Björk inspired me with her own brilliant rhyming word. I'll leave it up to you to discover what she uses: https://youtu.be/AGtMv-EQp20

For my own name, Ambroos (Dutch as well), I've yet to find a good English rhyming word. I've just settled with telling people to pronounce it as Ambrose. It's better than people turning it into Am-bruce. For TTS I sometimes use Ahmbrohs.

I don't have a huge variety of airport experience, but after about 40 trips in the last three years it's an efficient security I value most.

In Brussels Airport there's a single security hall with a huge amount of lanes that are opened depending on demand. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes. You go to a "filling station" where the very large trays are automatically fed to the lower part of the station. Three people can put their things in trays in parallel. There's no operator at the machine, the images are checked centrally, and automatically pushed to the side when flagged. It's easy, modern and just completely frustration free.

The rest of the Brussels Airport experience is a little different depending on which gates you're at (Schengen or non-Schengen) but still usually quite good in my opinion.

It's wild. I moved from Belgium (generic company) to Dublin (Facebook, 2018) to Seattle (still Facebook, 2020) and my net income more than doubled with every move. And that's as a software engineer without a degree (dropped out of college).

VW group has a dual-clutch automatic transmission that includes an EV motor for their plug-in hybrids, the DQ400E. It looks pretty cool indeed!

Code is not people.

I'd like this a lot, if it was discrete. I lived in Dublin for two years, and in my limited experience of going out the experience could always be summarised as "loud, couldn't understand anyone". If I could hear a little less of random people and noise and a little more of the people I'm talking to I might have enjoyed it more.

You haven't used the right flagship Android phones the last few years. Android on a recent Sony flagship feels smoother than iOS on an iPhone X to me.

There's currently no source on their website that contains the same or more information.

It really depends where you go in Europe. In German mobile connections are notoriously bad. I've had moments where I'm standing in the middle of Aachen struggling to get a single byte through. Then there's Belgium (especially Flanders) where I can't remember the last time I didn't have at least solid HSPA+ available.

The A mount is practically dead, it's been surpassed by the full frame E-mount. Only somewhat recent Sony cameras are supported by the webcam driver, and there simply aren't many recent A-mount cameras.

For those menu item suggestions, if you long press them you should get the option to remove the preview/suggestion. That should at least make it not show up again in the app menu.

Until you start seeing times like 24:45 in your app. The spec has some really strange behaviour in it that defaults to "1-24"-hour time instead of the common "0-23" if you specify hour12: false.

Only Chrome seems to have actually implemented the spec this strictly, they don't want to change it: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=104579...
