> It seems there are far fewer bugs in general. it's amazing the effect these words had on me. i fully knew the context here but still did a double take.

it was such a relief when i got the notification that my laptop was not eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade. for a long time i have been debating whether i should try a MacBook M1 for my hobby projects or not. i don't use Windows for any

incredible work indeed. kudos to the author! there is definitely a place for operating systems like this one in the future. the author is creating something many of us want: a system where the user is in control of their computer! fancy tha

GP got it right. the whole article is fight over semantics that adds very little. i wanna hear about turning phones into servers, not the nick-picking. but yes, he wrote that what Moxie wrote was, and i quote, "factually wrong and soun

oh wow. did we read the same article? these criticisms sound odd to me. the whole section about OpenSea removing Moxie's NFT. and how he wrote that he wasn't out to complain about them, is not how i read it at all. this is so odd.

i find it odd that the main issue they found is language proficiency. i don't think i know a country that offers university entrance exams or tests in a language other than their own. or at least doesn't require proof of proficien

i doubt it. i recently walked a friend through setting up a their MacBook Air M1. and, like you said, i told them to skip setting an Apple ID. that it was not necessary. but the first setup doesn't allow you to skip. or didn't mak

incredible! how does archive.org work exactly? do they have crawlers scouring the web 24/7?

what a ridiculous take on the issue. if we want integrity and fairness in our field we need to apply it everywhere. giving passes isn't going to get us anywhere. the issue at stake is the use of dark patterns.

it now feels wrong to me to have behavior in HTML markup. i get it, it's easy and simple. and has worked for many frameworks. but things like that are bound to be abused and i am already seeing traces of such abuse in the examples:

people keep re-discovering these things over and over again. i wonder if this is due to microservices and the desire to avoid "big" frameworks? as for loading test data, you could go hybrid by loading all of it once, upfront, and

OMG, i was reading Quora today thinking exactly about what you wrote in the first paragraph. but in a different context. there is that false story that gathered tons of likes and comments, even though a buried comment debunked the whole thi

both sides are being disingenuous. (to me at least). youtube didn't nuke the dislikes count to protect creators because most are complaining. you would think that they would approach them first. and, the dislikes count only appears to

the original stb libraries did the same. single header doesn't mean you have to develop in one file, although you totally can.

i am interested in this comparison. my gut feeling is that the blockchain is more energy intensive. but i am curious how much energy is consumed by a global online multiplayer game like fortnite or similar.

i would rather it written as SELECT * BUT or SELECT * EXCEPT or even SELECT ALL BUT. SQL has always been that language that is easy to read. even when you don't understand what the queries are doing. adding a cryptic syntax like "

wait. flex-based layout has not fixed centering. nothing which has been done since table-based layout has an intuitive and cross-browser way for doing vertical and horizontal centering. that's what i think GP meant. i do not want to se

would be truly amazing if Fabien can pull it off. there is so much secrecy surrounding video game development in japan. especially the 8 and 16-bit era. i was very interested in how they did pixel art back then. they supposedly drew them us

this is quite an interesting project! combining kaitai structs or similar with the command line. however, i am a little disappointed that the jq syntax was chosen. jq has a very non-intuitive syntax. there are more intuitive query syntaxes

i don't pretend to read everything on here but i have yet to see any "asian bashing". i have seen people raise their concerns about the CCP. i hope that's not what you are calling "asian bashing".

this is a very sad point of view. if you buy a product that comes with a pamphlet telling you how safe it is, you have to trust the manufacturer. you are also trusting that the product has passed all the necessary safety requirements. if th
