There are different timescales involved. The resolvability of a DOI is obviously important, and you have found a few examples where the steward of the content (ie publisher) hasn’t updated the links. But in that case DOIs can in theory be r

That’s why the display guidelines stipulate that DOIs are always expressed as URLs.

To take your point to the next step, how do two otherwise unrelated journals (of which there are tens of thousands) link between each other and solve link rot? Answer: shared open non profit metadata infrastructure. Disclaimer - I’m at Cros

This is the equivalent to tracing a domain registrar up to ICANN.

This is gorgeous. If the author's reading, it's jumpy if you have a clicky scrollwheel mouse, and jittery if you drag the scrollbar (on Firefox, at least). Could you add a slider or something to help with fine control? There'

I had a another look in "Keyboard Shortcuts". Lots of shortcuts, including a category called 'App shortcuts'. No mention of iTunes / Apple Music. I think it's just hard-coded in the OS.

It always worked as a pause/play for already playing media, my complaint was about its use as a launcher. Made muscle memory tricky as its behaviour depended on what was running at the time.

I never found a way of disabling the automatic starting of iTunes when you press the play/pause button on the keyboard. How do I choose my own music player app? And my new Mac has things like (can't remember exactly) 'musiccr

The bit where Apple's OS tries to connect to Apple's update servers, and can't authenticate because Apple switched to an incompatible root CA.

All I know is that they followed the default and ended up being unable to even open the app store to update their OS. Whatever OS support is available for whatever hardware, Apple effectively orphaned that machine.

This caught out a family member. Until you said that I thought it was user error. Gone are the days of recommending apple because 'it just works'.

I'm sure they'll sell a charging wallet with a USB plug or something. They've gone to extraordinary and inconvenient lengths on points of principle before (from USB-only on the first iMac through to USB-C only and faulty keyb

IMHO. You're getting a lot of consistent feedback from lots of people that this way of explaining things doesn't land the way you think it will. The feedback is all well meaning, and signifies (I think) that people want an alter

I don't use Chrome, I use Firefox. It was confusing for it to ask me to add an extension to Chrome.

I'm not making any assertions, but don't you think there's some kind of selective process at work when you're breeding bees in an environment with fixed frames? Like, can they sustain a cluster over winter within the p

Do yo know why this is the case? Due to integrated peripherals? Or is there something particularly incompatible about the ARM architecture?

Seems like an odd speculation. Can you provide any evidence for that?

Because of the bar and container there's 140 pixels wasted at the top that means I have to scroll to play the actual game. Plus the 'Product Hunt' thing overlaps the content and then the button I need to click on, so I have t

This was answered in the article you're commenting on. But what wasn't addressed was that the charging cable costs FIFTY QUID (I don't know what that is in BUCKS) but ... that's a lot for a stupid cable.

How does this feel with Python being dynamic? I always felt very uneasy writing Python precisely because if some random module became incompatible, especially via a transitive depndency, I might not find out until it was running in producti

If the average developer has to be able to maintain (and therefore understand) the code, it stands to reason that the more eyes on it the better it converges on this state.

One of the great features of S3 is that it has an arbitrary prefix index on keys! And the list API paginates on batches of 1000 which is useful. You can retrieve all objects with a given prefix, which is great for storing content-addressed

It's been a while since I developed on Mac OS, but ISTR that beach balls happen when the main thread blocks and doesn't respond to events. If an application does that it's due to the developer putting too much on the main thr
