The secret sauce for me is that it is a complete out of box experience. You'll boot it and sign into steam and that's it. Like, sure you can get little PCs off Amazon or build your own micro-atx system with more performance. But I

Playing games with friends has never been more popular. I guess couch co-op has been replaced with online multiplayer. The assumption being that if you want to play with friends, they'll have their own device. But there's still pl

This is nothing to do with ISO 8601 though. You can represent time zones with that format. So long as you have a source time zone, target time zone and tzdata you can convert any time accounting for all the particularities of any particular

But we have Bluetooth doing lossless audio. If we can do lossless or 700kbps+ audio then we can spare a bit of that bandwidth for the microphone.

Most modders aren't reverse engineering the game. There's a small community that are doing the obfuscation and then everyone else is effectively working from normal Java code.

I also recently flew on BA and bypassed the free WiFi restrictions just by using a VPN. Not sure why that worked, but with Mullvad I was able to browse Hacker News in the air. Didn't need anything more advanced than that!

I'm not sure what you mean? The examples all return from their function.

The solution is walkable towns/cities. Not deliveries hahaha.

I think the point is that the vast majority of people don't really have a unique tax situation. And all the data already exists. There's just no framework set up to allow this to be automated like there is in other countries. It s

Pretty sure this is done on your router. They terminate TLS on your router, inject their malware and then re-encrypt.

I feel like we're entering the era of general and inefficient solutions to problems. Like LLMs being used to pick values out of JSON objects when jq would do the job 1000x more efficiently. This is what this whole field feels like righ

It's the same behaviour as Option + Maximize. Finder for example, that grows taller. Terminal for example, that goes full screen. My browser also goes full screen. Seems like the app decides what the behaviour is. But the point being

Just double click the top of the window? If I'm understanding right, that's what you want. I only ever double click windows on both Mac and Windows.

But it's not priced for the market of people who buy lots of knives. Because those who buy lots of knives aren't going to be interested in some mediocre knife with a vibration motor attached to it. Those who are interested in kniv

That seems to work as expected? The output of data is handled by the handler. Such behaviour is clearly outlined in the documentation by the JSONHandler. I wouldn't expect a JSONHandler to use Stringer. I'd expect it to use the ex

I think their point is that the skills of making a website which looks like Windows XP is adjacent to the skills needed to be a good graphic designer. Pretty much most days I am the person who is taking a design from a designer and reimplem

Why can't train operators in other countries take inspiration from things like this? It takes very little effort to implement. You could hold melody competitions for local communities. It is a nice thing which sparks joy and it's

For me the end result is I buy random crap from the shop that I don't need. Sometimes it's good because it's new and I wanna try it, but sometimes it's just me being a pig. I don't forget anything because I have a l

Tesco in the UK literally has this but only for staff. If you work for Tesco you can access any shop, view a map, view where stock is on a shelf, check stock numbers and expected delivery and all that stuff. Things that would absolutely be

Well, humans saying thanks to eachother isn't wasted energy. It has a real affect on our relationships. People say thank you to AI because they are portrayed as human-like chat bots, but in reality it has almost no effect on their effe

It's definitely a good argument for not reinventing the wheel though. I'd rather have 250,000 lines of code but 230,000 of that is in battle tested libraries. And of which only 20,000 lines are what we ever need to read/write

I find LLMs 100x more productive for greenfield work. If I want to create a React app with X amount of pages, some Redux stores, Auth, etc. then it can smash that out in minutes. I can say "now add X" and it'll do it. General

As a spectator, the golden age has to have ended around 2013/2014. Tech culture is so rampant with ruthless capitalism that it'll never happen again. You used to at least have the sense that there was a will to innovate and experi

How? If you're validating a server, sure. But a server validating a client? Anything you ship with the app can be extracted.

Say another human-like civilisation existed and was more technologically advanced, what sort of tell-tale signs do you expect to see?

Sounds like a nice solution. Seems like if you open the "he thinks" image thing at the bottom, and then go back to the "beautiful" result, then it no longer works and the Conclusion heading doesn't get activated. Th

It's the classic case of the US being great when you've got a lot of money. Which is why a company full of highly skilled engineers threatening to relocate to the US isn't an empty threat. These are exactly the kinds of peopl

Here's a thought: Does it count as AI written code if you're basically just telling it to fill in a template? My common use case is basically just writing some code in the style I use. Then I'll tell the LLM, "Do X based

I've accepted this way of working too. There is some code that I enjoy writing. But what I've found is that I actually enjoy just seeing the thing in my head actually work in the real world. For me, the fun part was finding the ri
