That's actually both funny and sad, I recently used WeTransfer and wondered when their product got so bad. Turns out Bending Spoons bought them about a year ago.

I'm not sure quip generalizations like that are useful. If it was as simple as cheese bad, we would see the dutch and the like as outliers in statistics, but that's not the case.

Tangential discussion, one thing I like a lot about the Netherlands is that it's not common to flaunt wealth, at least not as much as in some other countries. For all their other flaws, isn't this something that comes from the pro

Kids don't have to like the things you want them to like. They lead their own lives, so long as it's mostly fulfilling and happy, what's the problem? Don't be the figurative parent who tells their kids what job they shou

It isn't getting side-tracked, the schemes are the main point. If memory serves well, a recent study showed that roughly 85% of all shitcoins that shot up showed clear signs of manipulation. That said, I agree with you, private compani

This is misguided. A healthy lifestyle doesn't simply mean extra decades at the end of your life and everything else remains the same. It means many health issues also start later and you have more healthy years available to in your yo

Your manager would say that privacy is a bug on a corporate laptop used by an employee. Luckily there are a number of countries where the legal framework doesn't let that fly.

None of this should be esoteric knowledge if you work with web technologies for a living. Animations, box shadows and blurs have a very long history of performance issues. Similarly, standard tools easily highlight the issue, as shown in th

Based on your description, it sounds like a bad interview question. When otherwise capable candidates can't answer your trivia, maybe it isn't a useful signal? More than anything, it just sounds like you're selecting for peop

Pure ascii text is also a subset of markdown, so it doesn't really say much that it works for a restricted subset.

In this day and age, this could very well be an up and coming startup. "Hey <LLM>, find all files on my computer that might be a virus and delete them."

This is like Michael Phelps giving swimming advice. Interesting to listen to for sure, but not really applicable to the vast majority of people.

You don't have to guess, they're as capable as MV2 and AdGuard has been around for a long time.

This is akin to asking someone explain Tolkien's works, but without all the world-building. The set and setting matter, they're a part of the message, if not even the main message.

I'm aware of this, but in my experience it's pretty bad. It doesn't even cover all European languages, never mind the rest of the world. For the languages it does support, it's always a lottery whether it works with that

I don't know, I switched to Safari and it was painful for like two hours and then I stopped thinking about it. The only thing I somewhat miss is the built-in page translate, but I don't need it often enough to be bothered much.

Of all the browsers you could be using, giving your data away to sketchy crypto bros should really not be at the top of the list.

This is a stretch for what you might consider terrestrial, but polar bears swim faster than olympic athletes. Moose also swim hella fast, so funnily enough it's the same guys in water as on land that you have to look out for.

It's in the title? It's the official GravityForms plugin, supposedly version 2.9.13 fixes the issue, but the changelog [0] doesn't even mention the breach. [0] https://docs.gravityforms.com/gravityforms-change

In general, interpolating statistics based on your personal world view is often misguided. Almost fifty percent of all Americans have tried drugs at least once in their lives [0], you simply won't know about it because most won't

I'm of very two minds on this topic. On one hand, it's widely accepted that most (not to say all) drugs leave a permanent mark on brains that are not yet fully developed, so teenagers who are often most curious about these things.

Perhaps it's easier to explain what I mean by turning it around. Every point you've just brought up can be made for plants in the same way. Humans are not special in the animal kingdom, we're just dominant in this era. Other

You could just as well make the same argument about human behavior in a broad perspective. Not understanding every minute interaction in our brain is a fairly secondary point when the overarching themes are all the same.

Words mean something and the meaning matters. If you buy a lawnmower from me and I come around later claiming you were only renting it, you would justifiably tell me to piss off. That this was ever allowed to pass in the digital world is a

If this is the way you treat people who report vulnerabilities, next time they're going to report them to the black market, not you. It's incredibly short sighted.

This is discussed in the article? They tried cursor, but the bug rate was no better than their manual effort, so at least in this context, it did not work out.

The risks related to glycemic spikes are a widely accepted fact in the medical community, it's not even remotely close to being a controversial opinion. See [0], [1] and [2] for a start, but really, there's a very wide body of res

Large glycemic spikes are are an issue, but the problem is not obesity. Obesity is concerned with calories in and calories out and our current obesity epidemic is largely attributed to the fact that we eat more calories and move less. Most

Windows is the prime example of near infinite backwards compatibility. To an extent, less change and more backwards compatibility is good, but in my opinion, there definitely is such a thing as too much of it, too.
