On this note, I used to make android apps on the oldest slowest phone I could find. Was always complimented how snappy my apps felt since most users had a modern phone

For the diagonal lines the runner turned his GPS off at some points, and turned back on at another, causing Strava to fill in the missing data with a diagonal line

All Samsung Galaxy phones have a built in desktop OS called Dex. I remember plugging my monitor usb-c cable to charge my phone and being blown away when a desktop UI appeared on the monitor

A coincidence is not ironic

The author explicitly mentions this is how the game is implemented in the first 1/3 of the article

Curious which part of this uses AI. Doesnt it just track mouse / keyboard events across the session?

From what I understand, you need to use an third party app "Athlytic" to access your HRV data

An HRV monitor (whoop, oura, garmin watch) that let me see how much stress I was putting my body when eating unwell / drinking. Has changed me to a much cleaner diet

It's a bit of a misnomer. Steel is literally Iron + Carbon.

So the carbon in carbon steel is redundant

How does this work if you run a database insert query from the command line? Or to a remote database?

And yet they allowed passengers to control the sub. Theres a video out there where one of the passengers hit the ground with a loud thud while at the controls

You may as well have said "Im glad im not the only one who noticed Linux/Mac OS is slow" or Intel/AMD is slow or bash/fish/ksh is slow

My working understanding is that a program is common to run on these OS'es/hardware/shells :/

These devices beacon every few seconds to announce their location.

The article mentions you cannot use the app until its been updated

Not saying you're wrong, but go read the criticisms of Tesla when it first started, and your comment mirrors those.

Of course there are difficult hurdles to overcome, otherwise everyone would be doing it

I dont get it. How would a computer solve this?

Are you sure? This was the case in mysql 5.5 but 5.6 and up will not take the table offline anymore.

Several ALTER TABLE operations can be performed without copying the table, without blocking inserts, updates, and deletes to the table, or both. These enhancements are known collectively as online DDL. See Section 14.13, “InnoDB and Online DDL” for details.

Are we sure this is not a step backwards? We woild benuaing.less water, but filling our lakes with lubricant?

Is this applicable to mysql?

The work has already given him a new tool when he talks with his patients.

“When I have a patient in front of me diagnosed with the syndrome, they will almost certainly get cancer,” he said. “But in that moment I’m able to tell them elephants don’t get cancer and we are working with the zoo and the circus to learn from elephants so one day you never have to get cancer.”

This seems a bit unethical to raise hope for a cure that statistically has a very low chance of passing clinical trials

I wonder if theres an inflection point where using older operating systems cause you to be more resilient to viruses - presumably because malicious software is written targetting more modern stacks

We bring technology, data and people together to enhance the human touch-points in the world of offline commerce - think IoT for physical stores.

Just installed version 69 on my Thinkpad T540p with Debian 9.9.

I'm going back to Chrome. Firefox still lags on my machine after all these years. Even with a single tab and on their own initial launch page, scrolling performed a "caterpillar" effect where only the top half scrolled, and the bottom half jumped to catch up a split second later

He was mostly just using that line to make a joke - 'we have to get to the bottom of it'
