I was just thinking the same thing. Usually programming is a very binary thing - you tell the computer exactly what to do, and it will do exactly what you asked for whether it's right or wrong. These system prompts feel like us humans

Fair enough. I'm in Wellington and the risk profile here is a lot different to Japan. From a quick read of a BBC article, I see the "megaquake" you were warned about could have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the wo

As someone who lives in an earthquake-prone area, I don't think those stats are high enough that they would lead officials to evacuate an area as a precaution. But it would be a useful indicator to encourage people to make sure they ha

Ah - interesting. I just created a new Uber account here in NZ and during the sign-up process I get this: "Enter your mobile number (Optional)". No need to enter a mobile number.

Why do you care about an Uber account? Can't you just create a new account and start over? The accounts I care about are the ones where I've got important files or data stored in them.

These are the worst type of managers. The ones who consistently arrive late and say "sorry, I've been in back-to-backs all day" or, "sorry, meeting with the big boss" - the subtle implication is that they are the on

The section labelled "what I learned: it’s okay for an API to duplicate information" is something I come across often in Django projects. Django views send a Python dictionary of data to the template processor to display the infor

I wonder if the author has experience with Excel, because some of those substitution "monstrosities" look similar to some monstrosities I've created with Excel formulas! Good work, this is an awesome hack.

Lack of PWA support is the only reason why I keep other browsers handy, so I'm glad to see some movement on this long-outstanding issue. But I do have some concerns with the tone of this post and I hope they don't try too hard to

This is obviously big news down here in NZ (already being referred to as "spygate"). Canada is the top-ranked team in pool A, and they are currently ranked 8th in the world, whereas NZ is ranked 28th. Seems like really silly, and

I get a different banner - it's a huge square with a wall of German text that I can't understand. There are three buttons, also in German, and I have no idea which button to press. Guess I won't be reading the article.

"One big reason I want a local account is so that my user profile..." Yes! This sounds like a minor thing, but this is my number one reason why I always create a local account before adding any cloud features. If I sign in with a

Replying to myself - I just tried this and it works as expected. After initial set-up with a Microsoft account, you can create a local account and log in with that instead (and also delete the first Microsoft account too).

This is light on details, but according to the article, this only happens during the initial Windows 11 set-up, and not for existing users: "Quietly and without any announcement, the company changed Windows 11's initial setup so t

Yep - I agree with that. I set up a Windows 11 machine recently and was still able to create a local account. I'm sure there will be ways to defeat the new requirement. I haven't tried this, but even if they forced a Microsoft acc

Note that this is only during set-up, so at that point you don't have any personal files on the machine. And this is only if you're logging in with a Microsoft account with a valid OneDrive account. The article is light on details

I'm all for hating on Microsoft for their continued destruction of the local Windows 11 experience, but I actually think this is a good decision. Assuming you're logging in with a Microsoft account, and assuming you have a OneDriv

I'm really not sure why you keep comparing React to Django? My original point was that HTMX is easier to learn than React. As for your second point, I think I must be missing something or misunderstanding where you're coming from.
