I always turn motion blur off. Why would I want something to show a blur instead of a crisp image?

Likewise I turn all other image quality reducing options off: depth of field, vignetting, chromatic aberration, bloom, etc.

I enjoyed Peter F Hamilton's Exodus: The Archimedes Engine, which I expect is the first of a trilogy per his pattern. Not a short book!

And at 2,100 pages (seemingly letter sized) it may well be the longest free book I have seen on HN. Wow!

Decline of job LISTINGS. This seems to have nothing to do with jobs whatsoever.

I use FF as my main driver on Android (phone and tablet) without problems...???

Reminds me of the old movie Andromeda Strain.

Shame. No pictures. No code excerpts. No examples.

As an entrepreneur, 25 year manager and now mid level IC employee of a big tech firm... Good for you. As a manager I always told people I would kill for a team of people mostly composed of folks happy with what they are doing. It is sooo hard to manage a team of people where most are striving for advancement, especially when that cannot come soon enough for them (and especially when they do not believe they are not there yet).

I am trying to be this way, as I do personally love the work, but I would like one and maybe two promotions for the improved earnings and additional autonomy it would provide.

I am guessing it is some sort of anamorphic lens that has the center portion telephoto and then smears out the wide angle around the edges of the sensor. So you need a translation algorithm to get back to a normal image.

Microcenter's pre built PowerSpec PCs are great. They are all basically OTS components so easy to upgrade, yet get pre built convenience.

Sounds interesting. Shame the entire linked site assumes you know Go and describes Borgo only in terms of deltas from Go. That essentially means I and anyone else unfamiliar with Go will learn nothing from the site and dismiss the language.

And the reason I know nothing about Go is I bounced off it so hard probably due to all the things Borgo fixed! So I am probably the target developer.

Spectacular project by one gentleman. Been using it for a while now on my Swissmicros.

Maybe it is not working on mobile firefox, but the list is anemic at best and wrong frequently. How is SyncThing a text tool? And video tool? For the desktop?

I am more and more glad I got off the Apple closed ecosystem in 2018. There is so much innovation and variety elsewhere - you can get exactly what you want and it will also be vastly more open for hacking.

I have always used four Manhattan avenue blocks as a mile... As a life long born NYC'er. Not three.

In the sense that you need a constantly increasing amount to maintain the same results: yes.

F-Droid is not allowed if you use Google Advanced Security on your account. :( You have to side-load.

This is not true: "very low rate." My brokerage starts at 12+% which I would not call low. It never even reaches prime at millions of borrowing, and I do not have remotely enough to get much better a rate.

I hate that ForeFlight does not run on Android. It is is keeping me from getting rid of my last overpriced, closed, proprietary Apple device. Not that Jeppesen (Boeing) has a good record on any of that either.

Agreed on initial interpretation. Terrible title!

There is already a Part 2 out (read it yesterday) and a Part 3 planned.

I think AI generated things are not subject to copyright and hence not subject to license. i am not a lawyer.

I hear it in my coffee kettle every day. Boiling starts out as a high pitched fizzy sound. Then just before the kettle shuts off, it is a lower pitch, popping sound. I always assumed the bubbles get bigger as the water heats up causing lower pitch sounds when they pop.

I recall heavily using UCSD/Apple Pascal in the early 1980s. I am surprised that does not run on Commodore and this was needed. Of course, as a hobby project, awesome!!!

Nice! A paper by Michael Fischer of Multiflow fame. I have one of their computers in my garage. Thanks!

Do you have a list of such "bulletproof" computers youd recommend for a rainy day project?

To be fair, the increasing lack of choice in both hardware and software/operating system is why I left the Apple ecosystem 5 years ago. I have no complaints now; tons of vendors and operating systems to choose from. Well, hardware vendors anyway.

Yes. I regularly use F2 and F3. F1 help I cannot remember the last time I used it. I also get irritated by windows applications that do not use F3 for find next. I do not use F4 without a control or alt combo though...

I get TSA Precheck for free since I have Global Entry (which does have a cost).

You can still read and learn from something patented. That is, after all, the whole point of a patent!

You can also read and learn from copyleft and use that learning elsewhere.

Remember, copyright does not apply to ideas. It applies to a specific individual instantiation. In theory.
