I think the general idea is that Serif-fonts are better readable in book style documents and Sans-Serif fonts are better for short documents or maybe computer displays.

In football you track not only the goal scorers but also the assist (the person who passed the ball to he goal scorer). That still does not cover all contributions, but maybe that's a way to create more transparency for Tims case ?

My understanding is that Orion has already installed uBlock Origin out of the box. No need to install the extension.

"This is due in part to the fact that the mainframe can support huge numbers of transactions, as many as 30,000 a second." This is a very odd number. 30.000 sounds super low for most things today, it might depend on which transact

I would have loved to be in the meeting where someone presented that the device cannot be directly delivered to its destination but has to take a 9000km detour. I guess that was not the plan from the start?

Single tabs on links with iOS Safari work just fine with me. It does not feel slow to me, but I don't know what timings should usually be achieved.

This is often used in relation to the processor architecture. The 64 is added to indicate it's a 64 bit CPU architecture. This is to distinguish it to the for a long time common 32 bit CPU architectures. Looking at the current market y

I think it depends a bit more on what you do, than your role. As you mentioned, being President of the USA is not even enough. And yet you might be able to list some Roman Emperors, for good or bad (Cesar, Augustus) or even politicians (Cic

The Amiga was my second computer too. And I have spend all my money on the M2 Modula 2 compiler. Then I could do computer school homework in M2 on my Amiga and just had to translate it to Turbo Pascal in school to submit it :-)

When you are down and in a hole, one small good thing is that it goes up in every direction. Merry Christmas Sam and a much better 2025.

Merry Christmas everyone. Every year it reminds me how I eventually became an IT professional. My parents took us children to the village restaurant before Christmas. Must have been 1983. Then we were asked what we wish for Christmas and I

Quite high abstraction for its simplicity, quick to learn, strongly typed, garbage collected before it was cool (same as Module 3) and yet a system programming language (Oberon OS). You could argue that Wirth overdid it a bit with the simpl

I think this shows the problem though. When I was younger you had to save for a printer for a considerate amount of time, the equivalent of hundreds of dollars was normal. Now there are customers that think they can buy a printer for the eq

My Pinephone has a switch for the microphone and also my Pinebook Pro laptop. But I also would agree that this is exotic hardware.

Actually I don't think self-hosting is a viable solution for many people. Most server hosts are not security experts. IT security is really hard due to the many possible attack vectors you have to be knowledgeable about. In this articl

I think systems programming, like system tools or cli tool for example can also be done with a garbage collector e.g. in Go or Ocaml. For low-level development you would usually expect that the program manages memory itself, not some garbag

That makes me think, will we have car theft in the future where someone hacks your self driving car and it makes off on itself in the night? The next day you wake up to notice that your car has left you for someone else?
