So, interesting thing, how when I visit this site for the first time (in Firefox) is the search box showing a drop down with a bunch of my previous searches? I can't tell where they are from but it is all stuff I have searched for in

And then some cities in Canada are going to have the sun rise at 10am in the winter. There is no win on this one, shift it one way, Group A gets screwed, shift it the other way and Group B gets screwed, flip it back and forth and everyone

We just recently switched from a self hosted email server to one of the services (smtp.com, smtp2go, etc.) We gave up the fight.

Ultimately this is an Ad for Matamoto. I am no expert on how various platforms work but wouldn't this just be a case of the biggest target being taken down first? That the same policies are going to apply to all similar analytics ser

When you buy a car are you concerned that it came with manufacturer monopoly provided radio, GPS, seats, tires and a jack? I mean you can go out and get third party versions of all of these things with improved functionality so why should

We got bit by the Let's Encrypt root cert expiry. I knew it was coming but based on what I had read and the stats of our users I expected the impact to be slim to none. We used it for some of our support domains, but not the primary

I'm somewhat amazed at this being news now. This has been blatantly obvious for years if you use Amazon even occasionally.

Classic Shell - can't recommend it highly enough if you prefer the Windows 7 era experience.

The loss of the small task bar icons will be annoying to me. I always fight to minimize UI real estate in my workspace, typically selecting the most compact / small offering that is still workable. I strongly prefer my task bar to re

They also have modules that alter explorer as well (though I don't find them terribly useful). As an "old fogey" in the computer world Classic Shell is one of the first things I install on any Windows machine I set up for m

As an older developer I find it funny how design trends cycle around. I think in my life I've seen UI design go the full circle at least twice. The square corner, solid colour era is ending and it looks like we're pulling back i

Do you step out of your house at all? Because if so, you could be hit by a bus. It's statistically possible, right? Best not do anything if you aren't able to understand relative odds. It lowers risk. Just like you do when you

I always loved working in LISP, it was just so concise and really made you focus on code structure and hierachy. Need to get back into it again sometime.

Not sure if this is a known issue but I tried to load the site 3x in Firefox. Caused the tab to stop responding with a "Script is slowing down Firefox" error. Each time I had to close the tab. Opened the site in Chrome with n

Yep, but I find it to be a really poor paradigm for efficient work if you don't remember them. Having to search the command palette is much slower than being able to set up a toolbar of often used functions. Don't get me wrong,

I likely would as well if I remembered it. I have always had a problem recalling key combinations across all the applications I use which is why I rely on context menus and tool bars heavily. I've called out VSCode on this a few time

Agreed, I was on a public FTP site about a month ago browsing through old support files. Now I'll have to configure a client for it. Edit: this might be a small opportunity for some of the native FTP apps to jump in and handle the lin

I would have been happier if it had just be locked down to secure connections only. I have used FTP to quickly share files to colleagues at times and this will be broken now. I'm sure I was in a very minimal percentage but it was ha

>The ‘Take a Screenshot’ feature was removed from the Page Actions menu in the url bar. Odd, this is the only place I accessed it from. Not a big deal as it's still on the context menu and also can be added as a tool bar item but I

That cruise ship example is wild. To do all that work (450,000 man hours) to just add 50 feet to the length of the ship... a 12% increase in passenger capacity. Obviously it must be cost effective but on face value it looks crazy.

Experienced this this morning on my Pixel 1. Woke up to several apps in a crash loop every few seconds and most others crashing on startup. After a reboot didn't solve anything I thought perhaps my (older) phone had suffered a RAM fail

I still have 3 of these in a closet here, my 2001, 4032 (purple screen!), and a SuperPET 9000 (I think 9001 was the model number - Edit, nope, was a 9000) Got the 2001 first at the age of 12 and taught myself to code by looking at listings
