This is a myth on the order of “vocal fry permanently damages young female vocal cords”.

Yes, the ghouls who used to be satisfied with merely hollowing out America’s brick and mortar stores via private equity seem to have decided to move on to “activist investing”, so perfectly profitable and healthy companies have to increase

There are many FAANG customers who care about link time; some of them are also FAANGs, but certainly not all. You're falling into the libertarian trap of thinking that because it didn't happen in your experience, it could not poss

The original Apple TV remote was awful. It was the achilles heel of the product. The newer silver Apple TV remote with the round click/touch surface is what it should have been; it's worth trying if that's your primary pain p

Apple doesn't have PMs in the sense you're thinking of. This was a simply a bug.

The presence tracking technology in Face ID iPhones uses infrared beams (not sure if it's the same as what's in the Vision Pro), and some people's eyes are in fact sensitive to this, resulting in eyestrain when used over a lo

FWIW, that's really not the usual macOS experience with external monitors, and you should try doing standard connectivity troubleshooting like replacing the cable, etc. I've been using multiple monitors (more than 1 simultaneously

Haven’t tried this project yet, but the Ruby interpreter itself starts up very quickly, so I’d expect it to be essentially instant on modern hardware.

The person you're replying to was talking about the Apple II era, when floppies held less than 200k at best. Availability of 2.44 MB floppy drives was an extremely late development, and IIRC rare to actually find in the wild.

The bar _should_ be high, but it's too high in California. You can quibble with the imprecise wording above, but in practice the law makes it basically impossible to hospitalize people with severe mental issues against their will. If y

Oh, it's worse than that -- I've seen people pedantically argue that manual malloc and free count as "GC", which you can indeed make a historical argument for, but it's not what most people mean.

It sounds like the law has a requirement for a qualifying news org to spend most of the revenue on journalism? Are you sure you're opposed to the actual contents of the law?

IANAL, but it sounds like they're allowed to avoid linking to things, just not punitively. You'd have to sue them to find out whether it's punitive, but that's what discovery is for.

Seems like a good idea, but who do you tax and how do you collect it? I already don't want my ISP monitoring my internet usage. Tax the companies directly?

Are you sure you would find this more ergonomically pleasing: assign(x, plus(a, plus(b, plus(c, b)))) When you could have: x = a + b + c + d; Or: (let x (+ a b c d)) ?

Why do you think this is true of Lisps? Emmy would not seem to be a good example because it actually does overload arithmetic operators to support extended data structures. Look at, for example: https://cljdoc.org/d/org

20 year olds should maybe get advice from more grounded 25 year olds. This particular one appears to be vain, shallow, and incurious.

The problem is most people will in fact not be assholes, but the ones who have a disproportionate effect, because there's no direct penalty. Someone can't stand in your yard and loudly shout personal abuse for very long without ge

It was ridiculously easy to game the Slashdot moderation system. You knew what topics would get upvoted -- positive about Linux, negative about something like SCO during the lawsuit period. It was not difficult to accumulate karma.

sounds right - tcc is a fast compiler, not an optimizing one. clang is faster than many, but optimizations take time to run.

That’s sort of the point of AAA games, though. There’s an entire universe of non-AAA games that will run just fine on extremely dated hardware.

Pretty sure the cases where this isn’t true are the scenarios that are impossible to create without JavaScript, like infinite scrolling. Do you have counter-examples?

I see a lot of the "why do people hate Comic Sans" articles on the web think it's just because it's a handwritten, casual font used in inappropriate situations, but this seems like post-hoc rationalization. It's the

Yeah, but the spontaneous battery fires really help light the way at night in areas where the streetlights are poor.
