Non-technical users don't want to do that, and won't understand any of that. That's the unfortunate reality of developing software for people. If Excel generates CSV files with some Windows-1234 encoding, then my "import

I don't think it is "pure GPT" because of the "As someone...". It seems more likely that this is someone who is using GPT to make their comments longer or "fancier". Or it might be a rare example of someon

For what it's worth, I do not remember a time when YouTube's suggestions or search results were good. Absurdities like that happened 10 and 15 years ago as well. These days my biggest gripe is that they put unrelated ragebait or c

Reading such stories always reminds me of taking the TOEFL test. At least at the time, their website was full of all sorts of warnings and threats about what would happen if you registered with a name that did not match the legal name on yo

I like to add a 41th rule to this list: "There exists a right way to handle names that does not make any incorrect assumptions." That, unfortunately, isn't always possible. Sorting a list of people by their names alphabetic

Well, the article was about work. Mobile devices may be well-suited for chatting and general entertainment but I seriously doubt that many people could do effective work - more than a couple quick changes - with the mobile versions of Word

IMO this is a red herring. A corporation's right to hold property, enter into contracts and to sue or be sued might be technically called "corporate personhood", but this is very different from what laypeople mean when they c

Poets and novelists maybe, but not many people pay particular attention to who exactly wrote a particular magazine article.

Well, they claim to be written by a human. I would not be surprised at all if someone working for a dubious online news site wrote these articles with ChatGPT and Microsoft's curator AI happily picked them up.

You are correct, but static typing does make it a lot easier. Working with Rider feels like working with an IDE that fully understands the code, at least structurally. Working with PyCharm feels like working with an IDE that makes intellige

What do you feel has changed in the last 20 years? (This has been discussed a lot but my impression is that people compare today to the 1960s more than to the 00s).

I wonder why they chose 3.5mm in the first place instead of making an USB thingy. Just because it used to be more universal compared to like 5 different standards for the charging/data port? There are some theories online but no defini

It probably isn't actually "your organization". Some MS products just use that as a generic "this is disabled in some config or the other", (perhaps correctly) assuming that in most cases, it actually is turned off

If I had to choose between seeing the ads by YouTube and seeing the creator's own ad, I'd choose the second. I don't really know why. But if I turn off ad blocking, YouTube's own ads are way more obnoxious and intrusive.
