One thing I find surprising about this is the overlap between a) university is getting more and more expensive and b) students are caring less and less about using that time usefully. Is this because they know you are going to grade on a cu

I have seen an at least 10x variance in how people document their work in tickets. So 1 or 2 cents per "story" for some becomes 10 to 20 cents per "story" for others. For me that just feels like a weird external factor.

I get the task pricing motivation: you want folk to pay for how much they use, not a flat rate, because if they are freelancing why spend a flat fee for variable use. One of the reasons I don't use Lightroom is that I only take lots of

If mozilla spun off firefox or otherwise reorganised their company to be about making firefox the best web browser possible, so I could trust that my money was going to development of the browser and not random nonsense, I would happily pay

The vibe on other platforms was that it was going to be close, not that Kamala was going to win, which is the correct even handed judgement, and now all the votes have being counted, was correct. The idea that I stopped clock is right twice

I just want to use a robust, secure and decently fast browser that uses a different backend than Chrome to support the open web not ossifying into a single browser spec. I'll pay monthly! Please just let me pay for this in money and no

So energy retailers, yep for sure, you can change to another one if the one you're with is bad, and there are new rules on just how easy that has to be. But how are the distributors being privatised a good thing? I don't get to ch

It's so wild to me that anyone thought this would be successful. Perhaps this shows my ignorance of business and the stock market works, but water utilities are a service with a fixed set of customers, so there is neither a pressure to

This is a bizarre article, and feels like an example of that weird phenomenon where tech people believe they've discovered something new and noteworthy, but in reality they are just so deep into their bubble they are out of touch. MKBH

I would invert that: when was the last time you tried using a text editor that boasts speed instead of VSCode? I am forced to use VSCode for extension-based reasons, but have Sublime Text installed as well that I can very occasionally use.

From my experience it's not really an audio bug, it's a bluetooth one. (though reading other people's comments it also happens over USB as well?) Basically, there are lots of weird race conditions and oddities in how they dea

Yes, Apple can do what it wants, unless it can't because the EU tells it that it can't, lawyers courts litigation etc. I get that. What does that have to do with being asked to pay $400k/month for a free app that you made $0

If I make OpenFlappyBird, and it's my little personal project, and I distribute it on OpenMarketPlace *for free*, and it's a surprise massive runaway hit in the EU, with 10,000,000 people downloading it, I now owe Apple, after mak

To be completely clear I am not a Linux programmer, and I don't have the bandwidth I think to become one, this is my secondhand understanding of the situation. Here is a bit of a discussion though on this topic: - a summary of the situ
