two_handfuls··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
But was the touchpad disabled at the time? Phantom touches could happen even if your hand is not near the touchpad.
two_handfuls··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
I wonder whether this could be a touchpad malfunction, causing phantom clicks that move focus. To diagnose, you could temporarily disable it and use an external mouse.

That was very much a thing. Sign a contract, company puts solar on your roof, owns that electricity, and you pay a predetermined price for the next 20 years or so and then the panels are yours.

Except some were a scam, and now the well is poisoned.

two_handfuls··on AI is forcing us to write good code
That is a great description of current AI, actually. Love it.

Some people are amazed the dog can write poetry. Some people complain that the poetry isn't good enough.

two_handfuls··on Show HN: Ez FFmpeg – Video editing in plain English
Good point, "mb" as used in the linked example would mean "millibit", which is almost certainly not what they meant.

You're not wrong, but also there is value in a tool that will behave the same way consistently and has been vetted. I wouldn't be so down on this work.

One piece of feedback: your website is asking to create an account before giving me any idea of what it is or what I'd get.

You may run into people who are not willing to share their email address without an idea of what they'll get in return.

I found a typo: "Apply fined grained access control to keep your shared content under control." should be "fine-grained access control".

It's fun! Congrats!
two_handfuls··on Economics of Orbital vs. Terrestrial Data Centers
Yes it's fun. One small note, for the outside temp you can use 3K, the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature. Not that it would meaningfully change your conclusion.

So cool! I made pawk [1] to get some of the same features, but yours is better! Congrats!

two_handfuls··on In New York City, congestion pricing leads to marked drop in pollution
Coasting wears your tires too. By the same amount.
two_handfuls··on In New York City, congestion pricing leads to marked drop in pollution
We would believe that except that car companies are known for lying about diesel emissions.
two_handfuls··on In New York City, congestion pricing leads to marked drop in pollution
The tires wear the same amount here because either way, the car decelerates by the same amount at roughly the same rate.
two_handfuls··on First PC Emulator Launched for Galaxy XR
XR means "VR or AR". Having a passthrough window inside of a VR environment has been done before.

If you meant something else then I apologize for the misunderstanding (on phone, not going to be able to see fine detail in a video).

two_handfuls··on First PC Emulator Launched for Galaxy XR
Thank you! I believe you. If you work at Samsung, maybe you can get them to make the "Galaxy XR" landing page mention passthrough then? Because if it does, I missed it.

While we're at it, Samsung may have its reasons to mention "Google Photos" prominently as the first concrete application, but to me as a user that decoded as "ok they have no games to speak of." (I don't know if that's true, but that's how it comes across).

two_handfuls··on First PC Emulator Launched for Galaxy XR
For thise who, like me, needed context:

"Samsung XR" is a VR headset running "Android XR". Being called "XR" I would expect it would have AR abilities but the website makes no mention of it, or even passthrough, that I could see.

two_handfuls··on Multivox: Volumetric Display
This would be a poor man's "lightfield" display: as you move left or right you see a different perspEctive, just like you would if it were a physical object on the table instead of the spinning screen contraption.

So you would indeed see different points of view.

two_handfuls··on Multivox: Volumetric Display
It’s different from a flat display in that if you walk around it, you see a different perspective. And it works with any number of viewers.
two_handfuls··on Multivox: Volumetric Display
Speaking of tables, you probably already know about Tilt-Five? If not, they made a very neat social AR system focused on tabletop gaming.

Also check out the company named "Light Field Displays" for stunning displays. Not exactly the same as volumetric. Arguably better in some ways. Definitely more expensive though.

two_handfuls··on Multivox: Volumetric Display
I think this limitation could be overcome with the right hardware.

For example imagine a spinning display like those of the article but somehow tuned so that they are only visible when exactly head on. In that case, you know where the observer is: right in line with the screen. So you can have backface culling; as the display spins you render all 360 (or however many) viewpoints.

Now granted, this doesn't deal with how high or low the observer is. We'd need to find another solution for that.

two_handfuls··on Show HN: I developed an IDE tailored for Python developers
This looks like a very good effort. A few words of feedback on the website if you don't mind:

- people who come to the website most likely want to quickly decide whether this is for them. So put screenshots at the very beginning along with a short description of how PyMe is different- just like you did here in this post.

- the tutorials are a big plus, but it would be fair to warn the reader that they are currently only available in Chinese.

The project looks cool, I hope you find your audience!

two_handfuls··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
I think the thing people are complaining about is that the game devs are prevented from selling on steam and also cheaper on another store.

Are you sure?

two_handfuls··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
"It takes two", "Split Fiction" and "Lego Voyage" are the same style of casual two-player coop. Downside is it's only two players but otherwise may he exactly what you're looking for and very well made.

If you want something a bit different, check out "keep talking or everbody explodes".

The problem with this is the source. Tesla lies constantly and it has from the very first FSD demo [1, 2] if not earlier.
