I don't know why or how you're seeing an h? I'm talking about the asterisk.

I too read the title and thought it would be about the show. It's not, unfortunately.

Exactly! I've been self hosting for about two years now, on a NAS with Cloudflare in front of it. I need the NAS anyway, and Cloudflare is free, so the marginal cost is zero. (And even if the CDN weren't free it probably wouldn&#x

Yes, I do. I think the world would be a better place if there were no Microsoft, Adobe or Oracle. We would still have OSes and databases, we would be fine.

Let them! I often wonder what the world would look like if humans could fly like birds. There would be cages everywhere.

I think it was intentional but I don't have a source. Edit: from the other comment, it appears it was in fact random...

There's some similarity between nationality and copyright: arcane, obscure, complex and mean rules that only benefit incumbents and punish everyone else. I hope we will eventually get rid of both.

Jellyfin is a media server app that gets installed on a great variety of platforms and while it would certainly be possible to add a postgres server to the install, the choice of sqlite is more than justified here IMHO.

I think I'm a 3? I don't see a real apple, more like the concept of an apple, but the harder I try, the more characteristics I can conjure -- although it would be a stretch to say I "see" them.

I'm in the exact same boat. I think I have aphantasia, because when I close my eyes all I see is black, and it is easier to conjure up images with eyes open, and I absolutely would never, ever, confuse what I "see" in my mind

I still use the Affinity desktop apps (before the move to the store) and they're fine.

One approach is to produce read-only data in BI tools: users are free to export anything they want and make their own spreadsheets, but those are for their own use only. Reference data is produced every day by a central, controlled process

Agreed. This product seems pointless because nobody's interested in a proof of authenticity (except maybe in certain legal niches?) I take pics for me and my friends and family, and AI has almost zero impact on this (although, face swa

> Excessive View Layer Stacking Guilty as charged. I love to do this. Materialized views aren't really possible on sqlite, and so I find stacking views on top of one another very readable and manageable. But it's true other p

Yes, but it's still amazing coming from Amazon. Everyone hates Amazon now but it's hard to argue they're not incredibly successful; how did they get where they are if they're staffed with Dilbert's boss types?

Most of the books I read are from authors long dead (current one: Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, by Frank H. Knight, highly recommended). They don't need the money.

If the result of this policy is that users think Apple products are crap, then it's probably counter-productive for Apple, no?

Here's a video of a herd of buffalo attacking a whole pride of lions that are on top of a single buffalo, about to devour it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM There are countless videos of bees fighting off

Yeah, well, in that case ants are civilized (they probably are).

Compassion exists and isn't just driven by self-interest or self-preservation.

But why wouldn't they?? Most animals take care of their wounded peers, from ants to elephants, and often defend individuals from predators (not always! but often enough to be on countless documentaries). This is an extremely natural be

Interesting! Can you share how hard it is to use the MS store for distribution? And is it worth it / does it bring in a good amount of business?

I visited Manhattan in 1990 and took photos on top of the towers, and also from the Staten Island boat shuttle. I thought then and still think now that those towers looked magnificent. They should have been rebuilt identically.

Of course there are many illiterate people, but the interesting fact is that many, many literate, educated, intelligent people don't understand how tech works and don't even care, or feel they need to understand it more.

I did buy a Meta Quest 3 and was impressed by its overall quality. I even tried a couple of games, and watched maybe half a movie, and some 3D videos of remote places. But I never use it. I don't really see the point. It's heavy o

We don't need to respect those companies or the people inside it. They will gladly suck up to any government if it earns them a dollar more. They're trash.
