This is not the case for any modern chat app. When you send a message to someone, it isn't delivered peer to peer straight to your recipient. The message goes from you to the service provider's server from where delivery is attemp

How do you think they would offer a messaging service if they didn't store the messages and attachments? The content has to live somewhere.

Have you considered discussing TFA instead of tropes so worn and boring even you yourself can't be bothered to write them out?

I worked for a major open-source company for half a decade. Everyone thinks their contribution is a gift and you should be grateful. To quote Bo Burnham, "you think your dick is a gift, I promise it's not".

When people spend their entire careers in AWS land, it's easy to forget just how much power a single beefy bare metal server brings to bear. You can scale far and wide simply by getting a bigger server.

Hospitals expand because they either already don't or they project they won't meet demand. It's the same story with drive-thrus. These are things that are measured and analyzed. Adding features in the blind hope that more fea

I'm not really sure this argument makes sense. Plenty of software I've built is finished, it does the thing I need it to do and I haven't touched it in years. Adding features just because is not a useful way to spend anyone&#

This is true, yet I've seen plenty of poorly built webapps that manage to run slowly even on a top tier development machine. Never mind what all the regular users will get in that case.

Modern MacBooks models have rounded corners at the top right and top left corners of the screen, see [0]. The bottom corners don't do this and external displays don't do this. This is a stylistic choice to match the curvature of t

This type of thinking is flawed. Me buying a new EV does not take my old ICE out of circulation, it just puts it in the hands of someone else. Buying less, whether that's cars or anything else, is the baseline to aim for.

Not necessarily faster, but more easy for sure. There's plenty of stories of proficient abacus using accountants being faster than those using calculators. Those days are gone now though because a calculator is just so much easier to p

While buying an EV is a greener choice than buying an ICE, a better option still is to use the vehicle you already have for as long as reasonable. This also overlooks the fact that EVs are prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of th

Just because written communication works well for you doesn't mean that it works for others nor that it's the best way to communicate about everything. There's a place and time for both. For example with documentation, it&#x2

I don't think this is a charitable interpretation. As a business, you need to be able to backfill positions or hire more when the need arises. If you use a language that's very commonly used, it's a lot easier to hire. There

I wish there was a feature flag to make sites ask for permission to play sound similar to how they have to ask for location, notifications and so on. Then I could easily turn off sound everywhere and only enable it for a few select sites.

Isn't this literally what the Digital Euro project is? These things take time and effort, they've been working on it since 2021 iirc.

Bad infrastructure doesn't make the bikes bad. People ride these just fine in the Netherlands, even if they're not that common.

Literally every country worldwide does this. The question is simply to what extent and to what countries. The whole difference between being a native an an alien is the rights you get. It's not a human right to be able to freely go int

I mean, naturally there's Doom on a vape [0], so as far as I'm concerned, that box is already ticked. Someone should give a good name to the law that every hardware device with a screen has a Doom port. [0] https://gith

This is the only reasonable way to ever do this, requires no effort, just copy paste one of the examples and you're done. My only gripe is that the most secure option isn't the first example in the repo. Limit access to the actor

What do you mean, Russia has been doing the same thing for most of the war? The success relies on you controlling the territory, or at least territory close enough, so the results vary.

If you think cocaine and marijuana are comparable/interchangeable with heroin, you might want to educate yourself on the topic a bit more before trying to make a quip.

This is, in a way, why it's nice that we have companies like Red Hat, SUSE and so on. Even if you might not like their specific distros for one reason or another, they've found a way to make money in a way where they contribute ba

Use Hammerspoon [0][1], it comes with a lot of macOS integrations out of the box and you write Lua, which takes zero effort to pick up and use. For me a big benefit is that you don't need to touch Xcode at all. [0] https://w

They're both on my phone anyway, so I don't really see the difference? Whether it's in one app or spilt across two apps makes no difference if there's no extra layers between. Having it all in Passwords is better in that
