And all you use your IPhone for is to make phone-calls, right?

This is really cool!

Gotta love the covert racism here.

Incredible video! I've been in tech for 20 years but never really bothered to dive in to the process of making RAM. This is eye-opening and makes me appreciate the sophistication of the tech involved in making those ram-sticks.

I love listening to it while programming, driving, cooking. :)

I'd love to see a page which tracked stats for what the majority of users were picking

"The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet if they had not had these crazy ideas the world would have been more stupid." - Arsène Wenger

I've owned several Nokia phones in the early 2000s. It was dead simple to replace a battery. My 70 year old aunt who is a tailor by trade knew how to pop out the back, and insert a new battery. There's absolutely no reason a screen replacement can be made as simple. The Fairphone series has already achieved this for screen-replacements (albeit with a bit more difficulty than a simple battery replacement.)

Even if the majority of people are unable to do these part-replacements themselves, it is still a massive improvement to make them easy to perform. The reduction in expertise required to perform these replacements would significantly reduce the cost of these operations while simultaneously reducing e-waste.

Often, I'll come across speakers who just speak slowly and listening at 1.5x or 2x barely feels sped-up.

Additionally, the brain tends to adjust to a faster talking speed very quickly. If I'm watching an average-paced person talk and speed them up by 2x, the first couple minutes of listening might be difficult and will require more intent-listening. However, the brain starts processing it as the new normal and it does not feel sped-up anymore. To the extent that if I go back to 1x, it feels like the speaker is way too slow.

I was particularly impressed with how performant the demo was as it was playing. I was fully expecting my Macbook-fan to start whirring as it usually does with most javascript-heavy pages.

> but many on this very site would need to give up a little bit of their privilege to reduce the pain felt by many of their fellow citizens.

Agreed. However, by imposing tariffs it is not the privileged who are going to be affected the most. The pain is felt most by the low-skill workers you mentioned earlier.

If the solution was instead along the lines of changing tax-brackets to tax the 'privileged' more, that might have better addressed the problem you mention in the beginning.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes I try to live by..

"Tenacity is a most underrated quality in life. We all speak about talent, intelligence, glamour. But tenacity is the common thing for every successful person in life. Maintain that motivation to go from A to B and to keep your focus on that target without any weakening. That is called tenacity; stamina in your motivation." - Arsene Wenger (Legendary Arsenal FC Coach)

While the example-notebooks repo you've mentioned is not actively maintained it looks like the IRuby kernel used by Jupyter still is maintained: https://github.com/SciRuby/iruby

That's fair. And it's probably more interesting to showcase Apple products because they do produce relatively better engineered products in general that would look great with this kind of imaging technology.

This is the second time inside a month I've seen Lumafield portray Apple products engineering prowess. First time being when they compared the USB-C cable (unfairly because they compared against the wrong type of third party USB-C). Is this just happenstance or is there a connection between the two companies?

IMDB and Goodreads; two useful review-services purchased by Amazon and left abandoned. Are there other similar Amazon acquisitions?

It would be super cool if this was implemented as a firefox plugin!

A lot depends on your use-case and the kind of website you're using this on.

I would find this very useful on a site like Wikipedia where I often know the section I want to jump to before landing on the page. (e.g. I want to see the number of goals Messi has scored each season at Barcelona and I know there's always a table at the bottom of most wiki articles regarding historical stats for soccer-players). I could see from the mini-map where the tables are jump straight to it.

Like you said, the the text is too small to make out where you're going or navigating. But most often I find myself visiting sites that I've visited in the past and for those I have a good mental image of what the page already looks like. I can use the hints from a minimap to jump to the relevant section of the page.

I find it fascinating that Apple is deliberately avoiding the terms VR or virtual. 51 uses of the word "spatial" but only 1 "virtual" which is also not in the context of VR. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/06/introducing-apple-vis...

Title is clickbait

And once you can slow down the generation, it would also be lovely to highlight the line of code being executed as the picture was drawn!

They're a great resource, not limited to python projects though. Besides providing help on choosing a project, they also coach you on how to approach an open source project and what to expect in the open source world. They have a bunch of talks regarding the same which are worth checking out.

Lovely webapp. Looking forward to your android port! :)

This looks brilliant. I was hoping it worked for my ruby-1.8.7 application though :( Are there similar applications for versions of ruby lower than ruby-2.1.0?

This article explains pretty well what went wrong with the stream. It wasn't Akamai, it was Apple. The interactive JSON-based elements that had on their page prevented it from being cached which resulted in the issues we were seeing. http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/09/why-apples-livestream...

This is awesome. Felt so nostalgic while going through the videos and screenshots. What an amazing game! And great work Vincent and team!

This is impressive for the amount of work put in to formatting the data and making it easy to use in different ways.

For details and advanced analytics though, this one is much better: https://github.com/soccermetrics/soccermetrics-client-py

This is almost identical to Roald Dahl's 1998 story - "The Great Automatic Grammatizator"

There should be an epilepsy warning! @_@

I think the primary use case is not for personal use but for large corporations. The high availability (which we've also seen in aws) and pay-as-you-go pricing are probably the biggest selling points.
