Solid game, I got 11. I just wish there was a way to edit nodes - it's really annoying to try to guess what the curve will look like when moving an unlinked node (like in the heart example). I can see that being part of the game though, I definitely got better at it by the end.
Probably, but it might not be able to work very well with different conditions, like a picture of a chessboard in central park vs a chessboard in a library. This could probably be solved with more renders, and even if it can't, the renders would probably be a good starting point
How is that easy to break? It protrudes like a quarter inch from the surface of the keyboard, and that's only the top third or so of the knob. I guess you could turn it too hard, but you're switching between three options, you really shouldn't be torquing it hard at all.
Do you mean making a screen with hexagonal pixels? That would be really cool, and I think it would just be a matter of changing the shape of the electrodes and crystals (for an LCD).
Amusingly, even though I've never smoked or even bought cigarette, I still have a pretty good idea how big a cigarette carton is because everyone always uses them for comparison.
Well, he did think it would take over a century. It would be nice if this could be completed in our lifetime, but that was never part of the plan (at least not the original plan)
I've noticed that on my OSX macbook the connection time is slow, but it seems to connect before you log in if it's asleep. I think Apple uses tricks like this to make it seem much faster.
Couple reasons of the top of my head: War is common. Plane crashes are rare. The average CNN viewer doesn't live anywhere near a warzone, but they probably have and are going to ride a commercial flight.
I know you're joking, but there's no way they'd do this because it'd be painfully obvious that all of the positive comments came in right at the very end, because all of the comments are publicly available[1].
That reminds me of the guy who tried to protect his fingers from the pedestal grinder by using the sleeve of his hoodie instead of walking 20 feet to the tool room to get some gloves. His sleeve got caught at torn completely off. Fortunately he wasn't hurt and banned from the metal shop.
That is a good point. Although it might be popularity that was holding it back, and this article seems to have helped with that. I wonder how far this thing will go.
Personally, I'd much rather buy his version than make my own. The newer design has the fins going all the way up the pot, which seems like it would make it more efficient at heating the sides, although it might be inconsequential (I'm not a rocket scientist). The newer design is also much much nicer looking that the cobbled together one, and the single piece body seems more durable. I don't think this is an example of NIH syndrome, I think this an example of a commercial implementation of a good hack.
I know you're probably a troll, but this is science: nothing is ever "proven", nothing is ever 100% certain, and they mentioned in the press release why this study is better than the previous ones that show no difference between organics and non-organics (basically, it used way more data and it's newer).
Eh, I'll cut them a little more slack because it seems like it does its job without a bladed fan, and the bladed fan is hidden inside. This is just straight lying, and it's immediately obvious lying too. Especially to anyone who knows anything about fanless designs - there are no external fins on the machine and it uses an Intel chip, so you probably don't even have to look at the back to know it can't be fanless.
Wow, this is awesome. However when I first open the page on Safari all of the tiles cascade straight down before rearranging themselves. It only happens for like a second but it's kind of distracting.
> this makes no sense to me, therefore it makes no sense.
This is my main problem with the tech community, especially HN. Most of the commenters here are intelligent and knowledgable, but many of them seem to be, for lack of a better word, arrogant. I see comments all the time that point out an undressed issue in a post and then go on to assume that they are the first people to think of issue and that it's unaddressable and/or unaddressed. It's not that hard to look past that tone and assumptions to get to the meat of the comment, but it gets old after a while. I don't think this means that all of the commenters on HN are cynical assholes (hell, I do it myself sometimes), but sometimes it seems that way.
It seems like that would be possible. The only restrictions that I can think of are the fact that each (iOS) extension needs its own app with significant functionality (so this extension would have to be provided by a file browser or something), and a extension will only run for as long as it takes to do whatever its supposed to do (so no background extensions). I think as long as you're watching the video the extension will be active, so that shouldn't be a problem. You might need to add support to the video player, but besides that I don't see why this wouldn't work
As for the GPU thing, I have no idea, but it seems like they're trying to be more open; I'd be kind of surprised if they said no.
Because if there is money involved there is incentive to do it for a living, which leads to incentive to cut costs and that might not always be done in a consumer-friendly way; therefore regulation is needed. If there is no money involved, the people who would cut costs and make it unsafe for the consumer are rarer -- since they can't do it for a living, and the relationship is harder to regulate since the only thing involved is communication between two parties, so it's probably not worth it.
