This argument is complete non-sense (just because a device doesn't receive software updates it doesn't mean it can't receive date/time updates). But who cares. We told you, that there are valid use-cases where timestamps

Just two weeks ago I found out, that the Sennheiser headphones (RS180) I believed to be dead, just didn't work anymore, because the rechargeable batteries were broken. After replacing the batteries, I went on and replaced the ear cushi

Sometimes timezones or the like change. So for future dates, those textual represations are probably better. Example: in November you create an appointment in 6 months at 15h, but then your government decides, to not use summer time next ye

I think this is a crucial point missing in the above discussion. However, tests should have a place in the teachers perspective, because they improve the learning effect (because they trigger the memory retrieval reliably). So maybe the pro

To me it feels more like, being the thing for home computing/automation, that the PC was for computing in general. A PC has not a clear single purpose, but is very modular and you have to spent some time to adjust it to your use-cases.

Actually, it isn't that hard (took me about 5 minutes to arrive at the 3 steps solution). Especially with a number like 486 which you might have met in school, when learning multiplication... Then again, I like the mental exercise :-)

Because the user is typically looking at the center of a screen. Sure, you can organize you windows in a way to compensate and center the content manually. But I think there are two usage patterns: 1. maximized browser windows 2. non maximi

Yes, but why make it left aligned? I like the limited width and left aligned text is also good, but IMHO the content as a whole should be in the center of the web page.

I find it funny that you use AWS as the better example, because I find native cloud product ranges notoriously hard to understand. Everybody tries to find some weird name for things we had for a while. EC2, S3, Route 53... Why not simply ca

I would say Gmail is your auto pilot. If you have an internet driver license, you know how to operate your own mailserver ;-) Note: Yes it ain't easy and it ain't fun, just like driving a car during rush hour.

This reminds me of the xmpp chat bot written in sed: https://github.com/horazont/xmpp-echo-bot While I admire the skill involved, I keep wondering what drives people into starting such projects :D

It depends on the country/region. In eastern Europe 700€ is okay, in western Europe it is rather cheap.

I like the idea and the site, but at times it fails to transport the magnitude. For example, sometimes a metric is communicated as 'percentage' and somestimes as 'times'. And 26 times is something completely different th

While you somewhat correct, in that the browser sends the request, but it is not a 'can be downloaded' but rather an imperative saying 'get that font from that server'. In the end, the w3c standards define, that browsers

A fatal combination are AirPod Pros + an Amazon FireTV Stick 4k. You pay 250€ and can't even change the volume... Other FireTVs have the ability, other headphones have the ability, but this combination is just madness.

Actually, the biggest issue here is writing a native iOS app, due to the limitations enforced by Apple. Browsers on iOS are also a big pain, because all iOS browsers use the Safari rendering engine and the users don't even have the cho

So what would be needed to prove you wrong? How about a 240fps video of a 60Hz display, with 2 implementations 1. Qt 2. Web Both times a finger dragging a slider from point A to point B?

I think nobody will argue against, that the majority of native apps are faster than web apps. But the key point isn't faster, but how much is fast enough. In general, 60fps is considered sufficient for smooth rendering and even 5 years

Feels pretty cool, more like the traditional internet. After a few minutes I found, that I would prefer a page that is not left-aligned, something like #article { margin: 0 auto; } A minor change that makes it much more comfort
