I think the difference is CAD is already expensive in memory and CPU time, so any increase would likely be very noticeable. With IDE's and messaging clients, pretty much any computer can run even the most inefficient ones fairly well s

I do not think it is self evident. In the article (and bill), queuing is considered autoplay if you do not explicitly select playlist of things to play. The definition in the bill is: AUTOPLAY — The use of a process that automatically plays

That's fair, but personally I am much more comfortable with the government regulating things which actually have chemicals which cause people to be addicted to them (cigarettes, hard drugs, etc.) than services which people can get addi

But autoplay do you mean sounds and videos that autoplay when you go on a website, or sounds and videos which are automatically queued up after something you are already watching? Because I agree that the first is very irritating (there is

For YouTube I don't use a playlist, I just let it pick the next recommendation, so that would still be banned. They added an exception for advertisements, which is too bad since that is the only kind of autoplay video I would really be

I think the choice is to just leave Netflix when you are done an episode. Maybe it's just me but I've never felt like the autoplay makes me much more likely to keep watching, it is just convenient so I don't have to go throug

Things like requiring accept and decline checkboxes to be the same font seem somewhat reasonable, even if I disagree with it, but banning autoplay videos and endless scrolling is insane. There are legitimate uses for autoplay videos (ex. Ne

Seems like engineers are not trusted to do their job. I mean if you hire lots of inexperienced engineers, fair enough, but I certainly wouldn't work at Pivotal. If my PM was constantly worrying about whether I was distracted, or workin

Violent video games have been around for a long time. If you are suggesting that they are causing an increase in violence, I would be very skeptical unless you provided an actual study that showed this, rather than one person's opinion

To qualify for the tax relief scheme, games under development must pass a cultural test administered by the British Film Institute that establishes a significant contribution to British culture. To qualify, games must score at least 16 out

The 10 minute limit is for having mid-roll ads - short videos are still monetized, but they only have an ad at the start of the video. Creators only go over 10 minutes so they can have multiple ads on their video instead of just one.

I think it is mainly an irritation for "power users". Can't imagine the average person using function keys or caring that they are gone, they just use the GUI to do everything. The touchbar is great for those people because i

Call the police, or (in the case of the scooters), move it off of your property. I mean I sympathize with the property owners encountering problems, but I'm pretty sure it is very illegal to just impound other peoples property like thi

It says if they have posted signs with the law, they can contact the police to issue a ticket (and tow, presumably). The formatting is a bit messed up, but you are required to both have the signs, and contact the police, you can't jus

If the police tow it, I'm sure the owner of the car would have to pay the fees. If the property owner tows it, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't (although it may vary by state). At least in Toronto, you are allowed to tow a car f

I think the incentive should be to call the police and have them impound it in a legal way, or just move it off of their property, not have a private party come and steal the scooters. Just because something is on your property, does not me

Even if it is on private property, that doesn't mean you can take it. If you park on someone else's driveway, they don't get to take your car.

“Their app specifically says you can ride it ‘anywhere’ and leave it ‘anywhere,’” Borelli says as he pushes a Bird scooter through the Pacific Beach neighborhood. If he sounds slightly bitter, it’s only because he owns a bike shop nearby a

If you want to build a house properly, you can buy some land and get someone to build it for you, I'm sure there are lots of people willing to build a well constructed house. In general, people just seem to prefer cheaply constructed l

I don't disagree, the comment I was responding to originally just said "one is too many". All I was saying is that one is certainly too many, but that doesn't mean you can use an anecdote to indicate that something happe

I think a better strategy would be to send an email as soon as the payment was late, saying a late fee would be assessed in x days if payment is not received (or just include the late fee in the contract, I suppose). Attaching an arbitrary

I bet a bunch of PR's were built up from the weekend which weren't deployed, and some guy who came in at 9 decided to deploy them and broke things. Always scary to be the one to deploy if no one has deployed in a while.

I don't think it is the syntax that is difficult, it is the overall layout and design of a React app, and the tools that come along with it. When you start a website with regular HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you just open up index.ht

Using a phone number for password reset seems like a terrible idea in general, especially if you have SMS-based 2FA. Phone numbers are way to easy to social engineer, and if your second factor can reset your first one, you don't have 2
