  1. I did. Admittedly it was for video processing at 8k which uses more than 128gb of ram, but I am NOT a YouTuber.
  2. So it’s a header file. In English.
  3. I can tell which of the two of you likely has a more enjoyable life.
  4. The earliest CRT terminals were round.
  5. Always assume the author is ESL in these situations.
  6. Especially if you tie it to a wrist mounted laser gun.
  7. Ready to work!
  8. The Arc Browser on windows is Swift with a real windows api layer for SwiftUI.
  9. Knowing the vendor, it’s Office Series X.
  10. THAT Rene Ritchie? Cool, I wondered what happened to him. I listened to his podcast all the time in the 2000s, when podcasts were synced to an iPod over USB before your commute.
  11. The performance bottleneck for space based computers is heat dissipation.

    Earth based computers benefit from the existence of an atmosphere to pull cold air in from and send hot air out to.

    A space data center would need to entirely rely on city sized heat sink fins.

  12. Hey, I made that!
  13. Hey, my 10 HomePods are able to turn off 80% of my lights at night, 80% of the time!
  14. Is that the airport?
  15. I joined Apple at the start of my career when iOS 6 and Snow Leopard were the active projects. I had to learn all of this. I’ve since forgot but this post was a wonderful bit of proprietary OS jargon and trivia nostalgia for me.
  16. In my experience it’s that set lighting has changed enormously.

    Modern digital cinema cameras can capture dark scenes far better than the film stocks of the 90s and earlier. So set designers don’t need to blast light everywhere to have actors be visible. Now, we even have AI Denoising that can make ISO 12500 look like 800.

    Go watch a 90s movie and look at a night or interior scene. You’ll see that everyone is actually lit by blue lights. Not natural darkness. That’s a major change.

    This also shows up in porn. A playboy photo was expertly lit and beautifully so, with angles and bounces and shade filters and gobos.

    Since the 2000s the market has expected the “DV Cam” which became “Smartphone” recorded look. Which means natural lighting all the time. It’s lost the “glam”.

  17. WHO WINS?

    YOU DECIDE!

  18. Wow, that guy in the thread attacking them is an asshole.
  19. I don’t disagree with anything you said.
