It is not that hard, DOM model is amazing, that's why there are so many frontend frameworks in the first place. However, you'll inevitably end up with your own after some time. Even if you try your best to stay away from it, you&#

Yes, you can download the form 1040 and fill it by yourself, you'd need a few Schedules attached. They all have instructions available online, your work has to send you a copy of everything they paid you and into the IRS (regular jobs

I believe any free space we have will be taken unless you actively fight for it. And while it is hard to maintain free space, clearing up taken space is even harder -- the discussion is usually what to put instead of something.

Pretty much this. Even in topics I'm decently knowledgeable, I feel like the vibe from SO answers will be "just read the spec" or source code; so I usually was able to string other answers together. With LLMs you can start wi

Uber definitely screwed the workers and probably existing taxi companies, but for the users it was a huge W, at least in many parts of the world. Taxi companies are notoriously scammy and it seems to be a very universal experience.

I think the article itself mixes these concepts. It starts with the world-class level example, and then jumps into learning new skills over a week. In order to be great, indeed, you don't need to be obsessed, and very rarely you cannot

It unironically is. Maybe if you can afford not working, it's fine, but with a regular job you simply don't have that much free time. In vacuum, there is a lot of it, in practice once you get a few commitments, it gets very challe

The article brings a lot of examples of people who lived and breathed something, so it was essentially their life. Telling people to dive into something even if they don't feel it is dangerous advice (especially for kids) -- people wil

It is literally a highway at this point for any B2C tech product. All the info they are collecting surely can be used for very targeted ads. Not hard to predict at all.

Code is the final artifact after everything is shipped. But while the development is active, it is more than that (at least for now), as you need to know implementation details even if you are really proficient at the domain knowledge. Alth

Most cities in Europe absolutely do not have suburban zones where most people live. Non-center areas also have their own leisure, going out, shopping places (usually mixed with the residential areas). The suburbs purely for residential spac

Some models will still trickle down; hell, better/cheaper hardware should enable to run hefty models available today, and they seem to be already okay-ish with such queries.

I don't understand why would you opt in to share your data. Is it because you believe that it would help to improve the model and you would benefit from it? Or something altruistic?

What do you think is better? The web is indeed questionable, but it is literally the best we have, it is still reasonably simple to deploy a web app. Desktop app development gets increasingly hostile and OSes introduce more and more TCC mod

Microsoft has way too much of legacy software people use, banning it all overnight will not go well at all. They understand that as well. They tried to pull a similar move with WinRT/UWP, but nobody wanted it, so now you can continue w

This is how macOS works, without a signature they will tell you they can't guarantee it doesn't have malware and you need to go to settings and choose to run anyway (and most people don't even know about it). Microsoft would

I _believe_ on macOS, if they revoke your certificate (the one you used to sign the app), the app moves into the "We can't verify that this app is free of malware" category, so in theory they can still do that. But it is a nu

It's not just about that. I am sure if the court would force them to allow sideloading, they'll make sure to never promote your app if you decide to offer both options to the users.

"Allow access" is pretty orthogonal, I don't know how it all works in mobile OSes, but I assume everything is virtualized there, so you can't just access whatever you want without user granting a permission (e.g. through

Is it allowed to charge more in storefronts which take these cuts? Why nobody does that? What about Steam? Can a publisher sell a game for ~$45 in their store and $60 in Steam, or is it against some TOC?

I think about the same. Right now we are at the normalizing the ID verification stage and banning specific content in certain countries/states, once we are desensitized, VPNs will come next, and then some government solution to track e

My understanding is that the base layer (similar to what FlatPak provides) is shared and downloaded by the snap manager so it is portable as long as you want to download it. The end result should be similar to FlatPak where you have practic
