1. There isn't really a credible opposition figure for people to rally around. 2. It's a pretty young country. Most have never lived under the Shah.

The Mid-Atlantic accent has fallen out of favor since at least the latter part of the 50s. The issue with hard to understand dialog is a much more recent phenomenon.

I’m not turning off motion smoothing. I don’t like the ghosting it can introduce but I hate the stutter artifacts from fast motion at 24fps with a passion. I get that people who grew up on 24fps movies and 60fps soap operas have a negative

I think it's fair to say that Safari is no longer late. That comes with 3 caveats. 1. Safari isn't updated independently of the OS, so users who don't update or whose iPhones don't get updates anymore will be forever stu

I have to support iOS 16. In terms of browser specific bugs that I have to deal with I'd say about 80-90% of what I encounter is Safari specific. Of that another 80% only affects iOS and of that like 2/3 are fixed in more current

This seems analogous to the following. A company asks users to fill out an online survey in exchange for participation in some raffle, except the company never pays out any prize. As with the job application there was never a guaranteed rew

To stay within the engine analogy. We have engines that are more powerful than horses, but 1. we aren’t good at building cars yet, 2. they break down so often that using horses often still ends up faster, 3. we have dirt tracks and feed sta

It breaks if you amend the top commit instead of adding a new one.

For me the answer is lazygit. I rarely use the git cli. I don't want to learn the jj cli and the TUI wrappers for jj seem less polished.

Well if there is useful context Rust let's you add it. You can easily wrap the io error in something specific to your application or just use anyhow with .context("...")? which is what most people do in application code.

Steam is also a launcher and when I use it as a launcher I don't want to see ads for the store and burying a setting to turn if off in the settings is not sufficient. At the very least let me turn it off on the pop up.

I measured an LCP or 3.5s + significant layout shift. The images are poorly optimized jpegs, instead of WEBP/AVIF. The start page takes a cool 6MB. A games page clocks in at around 12MB before the video starts loading including a whop

Maybe I'm not up to date. Are there no longer loot boxes in Counter Strike?

Thanks, but it's still pretty scummy how hidden that is. This could have just been a checkbox on the pop up.

What is the context that the Go code adds here? When File::create or os.Create fails the errors they return already contain the information what and why something failed. So what information does "failed to create file: " add?

I have plenty of complaints about them. The highly addictive gambling mechanics in their games, the extortionate cut afforded them by their dominant market position or the very rough UX in many parts of the Steam client (takes forever to st

The idea is pretty cool, but it doesn't work super well. 1. I imagine most major news outlets don't have RSS feeds these days. 2. A lot of stuff originates from news agencies, so they don't spread from website to website, but

But presumably pricing plays a role. If the cost of housing between NYC and Saskatchewan was comparable I imagine the former would have the higher growth rate.

It's worth considering the counter factual. Let's say there would be a few dozen semi popular DDoS services. Would that be better? Some assumptions: The services would be slightly less effective and also have worse downtimes. You

I imagine it's different for different types of trains. Freight trains probably stop a lot slower than small passenger trains.

Runes got introduced with svelte 5 and they address some problems that really bite when your components become complex and just weren’t solvable in the old paradigm. I think svelte is still very ergonomic to use. Having to write $state() wh

I recognize that this goes a bit against the spirit of the article, but I struggle to even conceptualize what land value means and how it can possibly be independent of its use. Land doesn’t really have inherent value, it comes from what yo

Nvidia's spotlight comes from $30k datacenter GPUs and network equipment. So unless Apple starts making those, nobody but a few privacy conscious enthusiasts will care about running some mediocre models at glacial speeds on their MacB

Zig is pretty neat. Compiles quickly, integrates nicely with C and its sdtlib was designed with explicit allocators in mind. It's a perfectly fine choice for building small CLIs, but many of the criticisms of rust just don't land

Personally I found gpt-5 to be a bit better than sonnet-4. At least in cursor. Claude is still more reliable and competent at tool calling, but I found gpt-5 to be better in token efficiency and a lot better at instruction following.

I like the idea of course, but such legislation would also be very disruptive, because it affects the entire supply chain. Every maker of any gadget, be it random white label android smartphone, set top box or smart home camera would have

In the update videos posted on the Ladybird YouTube channel it's said that they have exhausted most of the low hanging fruit in terms of correctness. Browsers and the web standard have a very long tail of odd behavior that you need to

In the last 24h alone Chromium merged almost 900 CLs (their equivalent to a pull request) into the src/Chromium repo, Ladybird had 7. Yes a project that started fresh a couple of year ago with decades of hindsight can be more efficient

I just don't get the point of ladybird. They have full time engineers and are soliciting donations, so it's clearly more than a hobby project. Maybe my assumptions are off, but I just can't imagine they could ever become com
