Possibly until they grow to a point where they have divisions in UK or EU, which I think is how Facebook/Google/Microsoft are set up but I could be wrong. There's some choices in the market, and beyond the behemoths it is sti

My view on this from the United Kingdom: I have no vested interest in any of the territories listed nor do I support them in any way, but my business should not be subject to the whims of overseas powers and foreign policy. In response to t

Is it safe to reset the password when there is so much instability with server errors and so on? Do we know that the door has been closed on the intrusion and the hack patched? Right now it feels like I'd be replacing a lost and known

It looks like a set of themes installed that I neither asked for, can't remove, and if I do use might vanish at any time leaving me with a forced visual change. I'm not sure what the value is here - it's just a temporary them

This might even be a good selling point - sharing a container host amongst multiple devs means that the hardware for devs can be lighter/cheaper. Even for myself flying solo I can use my old desktop as a Podman server, conserving RAM&#

I would guess it's to do with the abysmal performance before WSL2.

I see this as an opportunity to play with Podman. I don't fall into the category where I'll need to pay, but Docker Desktop has long been somewhat user-hostile. The forced updates I HATE. It's my machine, I get to pick the ve

The moderation of UGC is something that's killed off a number of my own ideas, at best 'parked' them. CSAM only goes so far, and frankly it's just too reactive - proactive defence is too costly for self-funding early sta

I killed them completely because they choke the drawer too. I don't know if I've set some option somewhere but they seem to linger forever, swiping them away doesn't stop them reappearing later. I'd rather have none than

Batched notifications: I'd love this. As it currently stands, most of my apps have lost permission to notify because they abuse it. I don't want to be constantly prodded and poked to interact, so there's very few that get it

I still miss the old MS-DOS edit.exe for it's speed, utility, and availability. The faster the better, I can't abide waiting for something that edits plain text. I might give Sublime 4 a go, because sometimes I just really need a

Not even sure about that, everything seems to be in the same place on nightly. Nothing has moved as far as I can tell.

Installed 'nightly'. Key changes... - tabs now look like buttons. - there's no divider line between pinned tabs - icons are a bit lighter, thinner lines - bar at top is a bit taller - a few label changes here and there, but t

Given the reaction I received from speaking out about moving the 'close tabs to the right' option into a sub-menu, I'm not expecting good things here. As for the video presentation, zero information. I'll tolerate it wha

Sadly shared too soon: it's not yet released. I hope it doesn't end up as vapourware, it'd be fun just for the nostalia.

Disagree. I'm here looking for clean code to redirect Chrome users to this message. After all this site claims "The website you WANTED to visit redirected you here." and yet it doesn't give any clues how to do that prope

There's no trickery, they just want contact details to get you into the sales funnel. It's a strategy, and just because there's no custom/bespoke pricing for you doesn't mean they wouldn't cut a deal for hundre

That sounds awesome, and the use of a repeatable random vital. Another example of random in a non-cryptography context where it's unpredictable under normal operation, but completely predictable when needed. If you wanted you could run

It certainly is in my experience: everything from deterministically shuffling lists to Rogue-like map generation to audio/visual glitch & noise effects.

Seeded random is a glorious thing in the right circumstances. As an example, I've used it for 'random' testing sequences (jumbling up a list of inputs) but in a way I can later re-run EXACTLY the same test. It's also use

Google has to push back to stop this happening in other countries. In any case, they can negotiate with price on SERP results ads and on the ads they no doubt place on Murdochs sites. Things will balance out if it does go ahead. I wouldn&#x

So, I can have 100Gb of data for X or 100Gb of data plus all-I-can-eat from 'PopularService' for X+Y. If I choose to pay extra, that's my choice. Seems reasonable, after all it's my own bandwidth that I'm buying wit

I briefly had a Lenovo. It was noisy too, and sent it back. Have a Dell now, it's half the volume but still too loud. My old MBP with it's C2D desktop-class chip was both quieter, and less random with fan speed changes. I hear it

agree - some blame lies with technologists. Maybe most of the blame. But consider this: If a human had the same problem, who would be blamed? If several humans, then the road would be changed, just like this. The process seems sound, but ma

How about a sign that says 'Cattle Grid' that both people and cars can read. It'd help protect motorcycle/bicycle/horse riders too.

Common perhaps but Etsy would be confusing in the modern era. Etsy is a web site. I learned C with VI over twenty years ago, and was taught to call it ‘vie’ rhymes with ‘by’. Always wanted to call it ‘six’. As for Emacs rhymes with ‘junk’,

To make it worse, every Gradle project I've come across has different solutions for the same common tasks. With Maven it's more-or-less standardised, because custom plugins are rare (I've come across just one in 20 years, and

Has Gradle finally got an equivalent to parent pom? It's such a vital feature, to be able to set dependency versions and plugins up to use on all child projects and publish into a repo. Last time I looked, Gradle couldn't do this.

I like XML. It tells me when I've forgotten a value, like 'version'. I still don't get why people rail against a machine-and-human-readable format that isn't space-sensitive, can be easily validated, and can be proc

What I don't get is the exception: this could be handled with a custom maven plugin (as an extreme way) or a wedge of inline script in the pom.xml (sloppy and maybe not so portable). Or the Assembly plugin. There's countless ways
