GFA was fantastic. I used it for various telecommunications programs back in the day. The only thing I really wanted as an addition was data structures.

> YMMV - The reverse for me. I hate it when I don't see the extension. Sounds like it's not the reverse for you. You and GP commenter both think hiding file extensions was a silly feature. And I agree.

> Tesla. Rivian. All cut from the same cloth. I'm not aware of any Tesla OTA updates bricking the infotainment system. At least since I've been paying attention. I don't see them quite as similar as you suggest.

Indeed. It's especially irritating that such bribes are necessary to get approval to build anything in the first place.

In Firefox, I also add the following to userChrome.css to make the scroll thumb high-contrast versus the scroll bar itself. The default Firefox colors are, in my opinion, too low-contrast. :root { scrollbar-color: rgb(35,75,240)

So a patent that predates their work could, at most, frustrate them for 20 years, or two decades. I have no idea who these guys are or what patents they're referring to, but the use of the word "decades" here is not obviously

Great article. I personally put the blame on mobile devices and the "mobilification" of every computing application. Mobile-first mentality saw application designers ruthlessly culling anything that caused even the slightest frict

Precisely. If there was any universe where the headline were accurate ( half the EPA range! ), this would absolutely not be the first we've heard of it. But in the real world, most Tesla drivers get within a reasonable error rate of th

Programmers and engineers have to apply this thinking holistically. The totality of waiting for slow software is enormous. Performance needs to be given a higher priority by more development teams. I don't tend to consciously sum all o

Tribalism. Just like politics and brand preferences in other economic sectors (cars, computers, and so on). I for one think both Android and iOS are pretty awful operating systems. I still look forward to a viable third option, and would e

This is probably its most important failure. Ironically, the people who refuse to use the "Following" tab on Twitter are, I expect, the same people who are most dissatisfied with Twitter. If you use the Following tab, Twitter rema

I don't think it's a matter of preference. Of course I prefer doing all of my computing on my desktop computer. But I don't take my desktop computer with me to the grocery store. And I use Twitter to entertain myself when I

I consider myself a pretty frequent Twitter user. I don't pay and I've never run into the daily limit.

Is this sarcasm? If not, maybe wait more than 3 weeks before declaring it Twitter's successor.

Understood. I have no doubt it would become exhausting to follow people who are distracted by such meta-topics. I take some joy out of unfollowing people who are overly obsessed with topics I find uninteresting.

Aside from the feature changes, it seems about the same to me. I think it largely depends on who you follow and whether you use the "Following" or "For you" tab. I recommend the "Following" tab since this allow

I appreciate this considerably more nuanced and thoughtful view of the modern history of Twitter. So much coverage of Twitter since the Musk acquisition is entangled with partisan politics, ultimately in part thanks to Musk provoking such a

For whatever it's worth, you can also donate via mailed check, assuming you're in the US. This will avoid the 8% card processing fee.

I agree with you. Low-density desktop applications cause me more unease because there's more need to scroll to make sure I didn't miss something. It's especially egregious when the designers make the scrollbars invisible (app

I note the author added an external USB disk to act as the TrueNAS boot disk. I wonder if treating one of the M.2 disks as a boot disk is feasible. There are twelve M.2 slots in that kit, after all.

The key mitigating factor here when comparing to GitHub: GitLab is self-hostable, and in the self-hosted version has no user limits. The limit discussed here only applied to the instance hosted by GitLab.
