I worry a lot about fads in engineering management. Any time you proscribe process over outcomes you create performative behavior and bad incentives in any discipline. In my observation, this tends to happen in engineering because senior leaders have no idea how to evaluate EMs i

I've been a Windows user since 3.1; and I've even defended Microsoft in the past (particularly when they made unpopular choices, but for technically correct reasons, like UAC or forcing vendors to rewrite their drivers into userland or using a safer driver model).BUT, I won't def

• Обсуждение уровней непрерывности кривых G0–G3 в CAD (Rhino, NURBS): G1 — касательность, G2/G3 — плавность кривизны, с примерами команд BlendCrv/Srf и ресурсами (видео Freya Holmér, Autodesk).
• Проблемы 3D-печати G2/G3-углов: плохо воспроизводятся на FDM из-за слоев, но различия (0.1–0.5 мм) заметны визуально и на ощупь, особенно на отражающих поверхностях.
• Аналогии из жизни: плавное ускорение в лифтах (C3), переходные кривые на дорогах/американских горках; вызовы в Blender/Illustrator, OpenSCAD-примеры.
• Связь с дизайном Apple (squircles), физические модели подтверждают предпочтение G3; замечания о G vs C непрерывности и B-сплайнах.

If I understand correctly, this means you can't back up the private key, correct? It's in the Secure Enclave, so if you lose your laptop, you also lose the key? Since it looks like export only really exports the public key not the private one?Probably not the worst thing, you mos

The web/webapps/mobile helped lead to this era of "desktop PCs" (to include laptops) where the browser mattered more than the OS. It allowed Apple to become resurgent in the desktop market because OS compatibility mattered less than ever.It's not weird that it led to Apple regain

Writing a calculus book that's more rigorous than typical books is hard because if you go too hard, people will say that you've written a real analysis book and the point of calculus is to introduce certain concepts without going full analysis. This book seems to have at least av

For me, 2023 was an entire year of weekly demos that now looking back at were basically a "Look at this dank prompt I wrote" followed by thunderous applause from the audience (which was mostly, but not exclusively, upper management)Hell man, I attended a session at an AWS event l

As a (previous) customer of Proton from many years and a user of their drive product, you should be aware that earlier this year the drive API endpoints began to block their own VPN egress quite often for rate limiting. They also block many cloud provider’s egress. They also don’
