As long as we're reminiscing... I asked my dad to buy Windows 95. But he didn't realize he bought the floppy disk edition. So I had to install windows 95 using the very slow floppy drive. It was either 13 or 26 floppies, I don&#x2

OMG I kept thinking my glasses (progressive lenses) were causing that. I didn't realize it was animating.

I wish we had a content rating system built into the HTTP protocol (via headers that say this page has an R rating, contains nudity, etc). Like X-Minimum-Recommended-Age or X-Contains-Content-Themes: violence, nudity Then website authors co

Isn’t the main issue with Oracle the aggressive sales and exploitation of captive customers?

I just started looking at photos and videos we took on vacation. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. And when I use the Photos app on my Apple TV to review a couple videos I took, I'm surprised at the weird, wavy quality I'm seeing in them.

It is not productive to call people numbskulls and make straw-man arguments just because you don't agree with their statements, or may not have observed the same benefits that they have. There is absolutely something real here, whether

Right, I chose my words carefully when I said the "overwhelming majority" – and not "every single developer"

I disagree. While there are developers that truly build new technology and invent novel solutions, the overwhelming majority of developers who are paid for their work daily do pretty mundane and boring software development. They are impleme

I actually strongly agree with this philosophy because it’s about fostering a certain culture. But as a counterpoint for the sake of argument, money and time spent on optimizing the website could be better spent on the actual race related s

Probably because they aren’t human labor intensive and most of the costs of fabs are in construction and equipment, and almost all of the expensive lithography stuff comes from ASML (a Dutch company)?

The acquisition and procurement departments in many government agencies are often “independent” in that they don’t directly report to the agency. They’re more like compliance people that make sure you’re completing with the procurement laws

I’m in the exact same situation. Prefer Zed’s snappiness overall but the tab completion in cursor is the only reason I keep coming back. But at the same time, I’m also doing more vibe coding instead of manual coding as time goes on, so Zed

But are there movements to boycott those other groups? The BDS movement seems to be only about boycotting Israel right?

It’s still very little energy. Probably way way less than a bedside lamp per phone. Phones aren’t a good place to try to save aggregate energy use at a population level. They already use vanishingly small amounts of energy compared to just

This seems very suspect. Usually you do have recourse via procurement channels and reps. If you file a complaint with that agency stating that they’re using a license without paying for it, it will result in at least an investigation.

I’ve heard this for decades now. But how do they rank in importance compared to other juggernauts like the teachers unions, NRA, or United Auto Workers, Planned Parenthood? Not to mention individual lobbyists for massive companies? because

Is this just a result of a strong market since most of their “wealth” is in stocks, driving up the perceived gap and resulting in such shocking sounding stats? I am not defending inequality but how is stock-based wealth taking away from low

Oh yes we have that too in the DC area. Especially from China. It made it extremely difficult for us to buy our house because we kept losing out to all cash offers from China, and that was 10 years ago. My point was meant more that I also k

To play devil’s advocate, this has more to do with the concept of sovereignty. A country can choose who gets to enter its borders. We may or may not agree with the rules they impose but they can set them. The constitution only applies to pe

Right I get that. Sorry my question wasn’t clear. But you could theoretically build a drone that would guide itself to a destination with just GPS right? It would potentially be even easier with water? Do you even need the two way command a
