I think your question makes more sense if you broaden the idea of "browsers" a bit. wget? It barely "supports" html; it has a parser because it can follow links, contrary to e.g. curl, for which "HTML" is just

The two reasons I never want an ice-dispenser, is that one, it's rediculously expensive. I would never pay hundreds of euro's for a standalone machine that makes ice: for that price I'll gladly keep fiddling with trays in the

I really really really would think that Bitcoin fills this exact need. There's a lot wrong with the cryptocurrency world and with Bitcoin specifically. So much wrong, that I'm afraid we closed the one way out of government and cor

I've never owned a refrigerator with odor removing, ice makers, or double doors. Is all this fancy stuff typical American? Because over here, northern Europe, only the high end refrigerators have ice makers, for example. Why would one

Row hammer is an exploit. It wasn't "by design". While that may technically be "escaping the sandbox" it's a different case, because it was never meant to work, will be fixed and often is fixed.

As per the article, the first thing they did was not the elimination of the tax, but paying off debts. Which is lasting. Arguably more so than a trust fund.

No-one said CX is about good customer experience, though. And then: who am I to judge what a "good experience" is anyway.

What would they gain with that?

It sounds plausible, but also extremely naive. Is there any substance to this, or is it just a rumor?

by berkes 3y ago
yes! And it's one of the first things I'll add to the lib/framework/tools/utils if it doesn't exist: a mechanism to mark code deprecated. It should require a description, the item that should be called instead,

When you have small children, you put your sharp knives out of the way. If children get a bit older, you first teach em responsible use of a knife, then give a sharp pocket knife. And some kids not even that. Point being: In Ruby, sharp kni

It is an antipattern. But IMO still better than "feature freezing" for months, delivering nothing of (business) value for weeks or months, working like madmen trying to remove the last 10% of the old code - which by the 90/10

I've worked on many "Big Bang Releases" and consider all of them a poor choice. Even the single one that was a huge success: in hindsight, I would've rather migrated that through the strangler-vine-pattern¹. Yes, it work

No. It isn't. Immigration has an effect on demography, but they aren't the same. "Immigration background" has the "background" word in there, specially to distinguish it from actual immigrants! You can keep pas

So maybe then F-Droid on Apple doesn't have that feature?
739.
by berkes 3y ago
That means Apple can compete on merits, not through a monopoly. If they truly have a stellar experience, people would want to pay a premium for that even, and choose this option. What need is there, for you, that requires Apple to then hold

F Droid is operated by the EFF. They pretty much sit the brightly colored Center of your Venn diagram.

"hacking tesla" is much broader than crashing a car that's self driving. It's lifting secret keys that allow criminals to open any Tesla 'till an OTA update, or callback has been rolled out. For days exposing your T

It's very true for Ruby on Rails. Rails' (not so) benevolent dictator for life, DHH, has been inventing and pulling in abstractions on abstractions so that Rails Devs don't need to touch JavaScript.

Ok. That makes sense. But that also is not my individual responsibility. Why should I bother about TikTok or My Huawei router? On a geopolical scale that makes no sense. Yet at the same time, I am directly impacted by privacy infringement

I know at least two people who bought such a doorbell for the sole reason of "being able to talk to the package delivery guy when I'm not at home". And not for security or to aid police in murder cases. I think these two peop
