Except the code covers SUCH a vague issue that it’s useless. Not very precise when any issue with the store gives you the same code. Maybe it couldn’t find a DNS record for the online store. Maybe its local db is corrupt. Maybe it’s been locked out administratively. Doesn’t matter which root cause, same error code, so it’s not a “precise” error code.

These may not be the case in this instance, but in many, many other instances, it sure has been

And of course that error code just means “there was an issue with the store” WOW THANKS SO MUCH DETAIL TO GO OFF OF

Yeah I absolutely love this. Would love more detail on a technical level (what challenges they faced trying to compile for steam deck) but still awesome to hear

I do. His argument of curved lines is nonsense, though I do wish software had more options for rendering projections (i.e. rectilinear vs cylindrical vs etc)

I don’t disagree. I believe if public/government funds are used to develop software, that software should be open source. Same with many of the developments paid for by the government… If we the people are paying for it, it should be open

Creating diseases sounds horrendous but I haven’t read the article yet

Air travel has had a long history of giving up privacy for security and I absolutely hate it. In no way is this helping the common air traveler.

The fact that the federal government can get around search warrants by paying for huge amounts of data is fucking insane and unconstitutional

I never trust “oh that’ll come with a firmware update later”

If they have enough to confidently make that statement, it’d already be released. I’m not buying something with the vapor promise that it’ll get better later

That kind of attitude in development drives me absolutely insane. See also: support for DHCPv6 in Android. There’s a thread that has been raging for I think over a decade now

Cloud cameras, name a more iconic cybersecurity failure

Idk what it is with certain devices but I have had multiple cases where the device is telling me it’s running out of space for apps, but it has dozens of free GB sitting around.

Maybe there’s some partitioning where there’s limited app storage compared to media etc storage but yeah. It definitely happens and in ways that don’t make a lot of sense

Definitely not ai. This is classic human trying to imitate bad ai

In my experience it’s much more likely to CAUSE frame drops than mask anything in a good way. It sure masks visual detail though

Motion blur in film does that, but with video games, in every implementation I’ve seen, you don’t get a blur that works the same way. Movies will generally blur 50% of the motion between frames (a “180 degree shutter”), a smooth blur based on motion alone. Video games generally just blur multiple frames together (sometimes more than two!) leaving all of the distinct images there, just overlayed instead of actually motion blurred. So if something moved from one side of the screen all the way to the other within a single frame, you get double vision of that thing instead of it just being an almost invisible smear across the screen. To do it “right” you basically have to do motion interpolation first, then blur based on that, and if you’re doing motion interpolation you may as well just show the sharp interpolated mid frames.

On top of that, motion blur tends to be computationally very expensive and you end up getting illegible 30fps instead of smooth 60+.

Even with your simplistic fossil fuel car in your example the alternator within can also be used as a motor.

Not by “simply reversing the flow” it can’t. You’d need to remove and replace many components, just like the example of changing an Rx to Tx system

An LED (or photodiode used as one) is a fairly simplistic device compared to an assembled receiver / transmitter. Just like you can burn gasoline in a car but you can’t push a car to turn the engine to make gasoline - it’s a complex system that really only works one way.

if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

Ehh not really. That’s kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

“It could be possible with some changes” the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I’m not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it’s definitely possible one does, but that’s not a guarantee at all

“RTFM” My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as “prepare the chicken” and aren’t at all clear what they mean, unless you’ve seen someone do it first, but it’s published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like “1 can” which just drives me insane as though that’s a standard unit.

There’s also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. “Chop” parsley - how finely? “Mix the ingredients” how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?

The characters role is to be a controlling spouse. If Walt was gay married to a man who behaved the same way Skyler does, they would be just as frustrating to watch on screen. It’s not inherently gendered, you’re putting that on it.
