Unfortunately many ebooks don't specify a default justification on their body text, so with "off", my Kobo Sage will left-align the text in those books. Agree that I think Kobo better manages custom fonts from what I've

I'm intrigued that you think Kindle has worse text options than Kobo; in my experience it's the other way around. My Kobo doesn't have the ability to justify just body text while leaving headings alone; my Kindles have handle

Assuming that you have Wi-fi and that your Kindle is compatible with it. Someone with a hardwired-only connection, an older Kindle that doesn't support Wi-fi at all, or one that doesn't support WPA3 will be stymied. (The models th

The addition of `import` and `removed` blocks make this a lot easier to manage than it was a year or two ago. You can manage the migration in the Terraform code rather than having to run separate state management commands.

The details matter because someone has to understand the details, and it's quicker and more cost-effective if it's the developer. At my job, a decade ago our developers understood how things worked, what was running on each serv

Care before the deductible is met will be more affordable, because insurance companies will negotiate lower rates with providers.

Remove the requirement to spend 80% of premiums on care. Right now there's no incentive for providers to keep their costs low, which hurts people both with and without insurance.

> Dropshippers who order in bulk and then ship out individual packages If they're doing that, they're no longer a dropshipper, just a bog-standard retailer.

Positive. A longer warranty means they don’t think it will fail during that period (i.e. higher longevity).

They're only arbiters of the letter. The spirit doesn't have a place in the courtroom.

"Easier to add your own books"... it depends. Yes, if you have ePubs and want to transfer files to the reader via USB, Kobo is marginally easier. But Kindle is easier for wireless delivery (regardless of format), and supports it

If you're developing a library, and you have a requirement for what's normally a transitive dependency, it should be specified as a top-level dependency.

Trying to explain to users of an unrelated site how to use a password manager sounds like a support nightmare.

The rubber dome ones didn't have buckling springs. They were "traditional" mass-market keyboard tech in the Model M form factor.

Officially they (generally) don’t. But judges are people; most judges around the world have a political alignment, even if they keep it better hidden.

Sceptre's TVs don't seem to support 120 Hz or variable refresh rate yet, only their smaller monitors, so they're not a good fit for anybody with a current-generation video game console.

"Line out" is supposed to be just that, line level. Not supporting volume control is correct; that should only be used for headphone jacks. (Yes, they're generally compatible, but they are not the same thing.)

It was already on two discs. You could choose whether to copy one or both to the hard drive. The game ran on machines as old as late 1999, so the typical disk size would’ve been more in the 10-20 GB range. Even the existing 3.4 GB minimum r

I don't have an example file on hand, but they would be useful for documenting non-explicit dependencies between packages. e.g. Kendo UI and the corresponding theme packages[1] - neither NPM package depends on the other, but if there&#

Many suburbs are accounting for this in other ways already, by foisting ownership of that local infrastructure onto the HOA instead of handling them centrally through taxes or direct billing.

Yes, commit author data is what I was referring to. Both name and email address changes sometimes need to be retroactive, especially in corporate environments using GitHub or Azure DevOps.

Saying it doesn't resemble martial law, and then immediately listing freedoms that were abolished, is a contradiction. Rather than "freedom of movement and assembly", I'd argue that what we lost was "freedom of due
