That was an amazing rant. I really respect the level of detail and dedication to the rant.

Unrelated: Shame on you BBC for hijacking our back buttons! Shame! A dirty, dirty trick it is.

I’m don’t mean this in a mean way, but if I were you that would not give me a great deal of confidence in my IT department’s level of talent. I’m assuming you are talking about setting up a Synapse server, not the Element web client. I’ll

This actually looks pretty sweet. I could get lost in this for an hour or two easy. It is not sweet that every action or click I make adds to my browser history. So going back to the previous website is not going to happen.

Yeah I don’t quite understand that stance either. It seems like a great replacement. Rsync > scp in my opinion. I have always reached for it first.

I can vouch for the Sansa clip. I used one heavily, years ago for this exact purpose. Mostly only podcast listening. Very small & lightweight, long battery life. Was unaware of the Rockbox firmware, looks interesting.

Ok so I randomly clicked on one of you links and it says Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) indicated a protective effect of masks and respirators against clinical respiratory illness (CRI) and influenza-like illness (ILI

They aren’t wrong, the main culprit appears to be the synthetic neck gaiters. But most types of masks have not been shown to do this. So masks aren’t perfect, but are undoubtedly a net benefit. This link talks about neck gaiters https:&#x2

This article has fancy animations and whatnot, but lacking in real data. So for anyone not convinced, here is a statistical analysis from my home state South Carolina. The numbers speak for themselves. https://scdhec.gov/new

Thanks for the details! I have been interested in branching out away from web dev, and Rust does seem like a good avenue for that.

I'll admit, the performance benchmarks on actix-web are very impressive! Thanks for the detailed response, I have an eyebrow raised :)

I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering, but why would someone want to write web code in Rust. To be fair, as a web developer by day, I still haven’t gotten around to trying to write any Rust in my free time. I am curious though. But afte

No sweat. It was on iOS for me. I bookmarked you guys though, this product looks really nice!

Same for me. The demo is really cool, this seems like a fantastic concept. But getting my back button hijacked drives me crazy.

I don't live in California, but If I remember, Uber actually did shut down briefly while they were filling this appeal?

by 40four 6y ago
I think it's safe to say many Californians should start preparing for life without ride-share. Assuming Prop 22 does not pass, the most likely outcome seems to be Uber and Lyft will simply shut down operations for the time being, if no

I think there is some confusion as to what he means by 'placing an order'. First of all, he's not ordering anything. At best he is loading these items into a shopping cart, who knows, maybe that's not even necessary de

I think this is a good example of how pro-privacy arguments should be framed. It is takes the varied aspects and complex implications of tracking users across the web (or even in the real world), and distills it down into an easy to underst

They didn’t require a Firefox account, but encouraged it by giving a significant file size limit increase. I think you’re right, seems ashamed to give up so soon. I just have to imagine it’s a result of their current circumstances as a comp

Too bad. I really enjoyed using it while it was up. The code is open source, and they have docs on how to set it up for self hosting. I wonder if there is a chance some active forks might live on? https://github.com/mozilla&

Is your perception of a company’s ‘need’ of financial support a good way to decide wether or not to support them? Probably not. If you believe in what they are doing and get value from it, they earned it and deserve it.

I've been interested to try it out, but I've never hated Ubuntu desktop as much as some seem to, so I've never gotten up the motivation up to give it a go. My boss is very adamant about Linux Mint, and I tried one if his inst

Good points. I used to use Android, but recently switched to iOS, mostly because I have a Macbook pro and iMac. I'm not blown away by the iPhone in general honestly, but being able to sync everything between the Mac devices is super co
