  1. BeOS fans still exist!
  2. Finds the center of a rectangle r Positions a width × height region centered on that rectangle.

    Clamps the result so it doesn’t go outside the document.

    If the region is bigger than the document, it re-centers instead of snapping to (0,0).

  3. The layoffs are due to tax incentives in the tax cut bills that financially incentivize offshoring work.
  4. Yep, it’s not a brand-new problem. I just wonder if AI is going to turbocharge the odds of these disputes popping up.
  5. What will happen when company A implements algorithm X based on AI output, company B does the same and company A claims that it is proprietary code and takes company B to court?
  6. Pre orders but not launch date. Reasonable considering the circumstances.
  7. Someone once told me be a cook, a hairdresser, or a repairman.
  8. It is exciting! I used to read the Ma-Bell manuals in the science and math library at the University of Oregon.

    Edited for emphasis.

  9. We've heard this for many decades. I'm sure we will be hearing it for decades more...
  10. Why is my brain not getting this right now. 140 K is -270 F so we would go into the negative with a Dyson sphere?
  11. Of course, some desires are straightforward. But if every want was just about the thing itself, marketing departments would be out of a job.
  12. The prediction of herbs as street lights is not far off since now scientists are working on glow in the dark trees.

  13. I have a solution to secure Wi-Fi into perpetuity.
  14. When I was in Bangalore in 2018 they wouldn't even allow anyone into the entry hall without a boarding pass and passport. Security was more tight back then compared to how you describe it now.
  15. There were four ambulance workers and two children in the 12 dead.
  16. Or got fired/laid off and the project languished?
  17. This app doesn't work at all. Signed up, entered a todo item and it errored out.
  18. This wiretapping plain and simple!
  19. Single-digit-nanometer-node custom ASICs aren't really required to achieve this. Although there is higher latency this can and has been done on FPGAs at a company I worked for which designed and built custom AVOD systems for private jets and helicopters.
  20. There are so many companies that I am sure countless individuals have come along and have solved a problem for themselves that many other customers probably have. These solutions hardly ever surface.

    I for one was upset when I bought a HiFi amp from Cambridge Audio (CXA-81) and it came with an IR controller. The only way to be able to control that amp through the app is by means of a DAC which costs another couple of thousand dollars. I refused to accept this as my solution. I wrote a web server that used a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an IR transmitter along with a rudimentary Android app that had a series of buttons which corresponded to the functionalities I needed.

    If anyone is interested the web server (written in Go) that the Android app talks to is located here https://github.com/ozfive/CXA81-IR-Remote-Server

    I will upload the the Android app source in the next week.

  21. Even using the client's keys it would be a good idea to give a disclaimer that their key may be stored (If that is the case) and can be accessible through nefarious means. People are very susceptible to phishing attempts etc. and this sort of business model (where you have the client supply the key and store it through the browser is a slippery slope.
  22. Looks as though the range loop isn't an issue from Go 1.22 anymore.

  23. > Previously, organizations with mission-critical workloads lacked access to important cloud and AI capabilities when in demanding edge environments, including those that present unique challenges and requirements.

    I'm sorry, what???

  24. The value comes from the value of selling ads and knowing everything about the product. In this case the viewer. Value prop for building the ability to still have insight into your product is there. It captures all the people who think they are clever by not connecting through WiFi and not understanding that it can be done over HDMI.
  25. I ripped my GPS out of the head unit of a 2020 Toyota Corolla. Still alive to tell the tale.
