Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The latest update to the new Project Indigo app disables super-resolution by default on many iPhones. The changes appear aimed at reducing overheating and stability issues reported in early tests. Other tweaks include thermal warning adjustments and lower capture rates on weaker devices. When we tested Project Indigo last month, we were impressed with its lifelike photos, but the app also caused our iPhone 16 to run hot and freeze up. Indigo is built by t

(Ed. note: This article was originally published on The CUDA Handbook blog on November 2, 2023.) Every API designer has struggled with the question of how best to propagate errors to their callers, since before the term “API” was invented. Even decades ago (say 30+ years), interface designers knew to separate the error return from the payload, in functions that return other results to their caller.
