If people are aware that more people are doing it surely the stigma is lessened as the practice is more normalized. For instance homosexuality is not a big deal now because it's seen as more common and therefore more normal. Certainly

Android has shown PWAs can work fine for most applications. Apps are only a big deal because Apple cripples PWAs.

Just remember that because you can doesn't mean you should. When super bright blue LEDs came out every damn piece of hardware had them just to show their product is new but it didn't add any value to the user.

I really like the orientation of that chart. Next time I put a long time series chart in a document I'm doing time on the Y axis starting from the top.

I disagree. KQL is much nicer. It reads better having the source first and this also offers autocompletion in the editor.

Car designers have lost the plot. Fake vents, fake grills. Black naked plastic bumpers. Yuck! Just make the whole damn thing one color.

The problem is the planning is the same everywhere. People who like walkable cities don't have a choice but to buy a car. It would be nice to have some areas where residential and non-industrial businesses are more mixed to lessen the

The article just rips into the deep details without even telling me what the design code is. Great.

Tell the consultants you come in late through the back door and only work just hard enough to get fired?

This position would be reasonable if the app stores took 5% but they are a duopoly which take 30%. Visa/Mastercard are in a similar duopoly position clipping the ticket but at least insure their customers.

Let's say there are three brands of some item. Each week one of the brands is rotated to $1 while the others are $2. And let's also suppose that the supermarket pays 80c per item. The smart shopper might only buy in bulk once ever

I have been doing something similar for New Zealand since the start of the year with Playwright/Typescript dumping parquet files to cloud storage. I've just collecting the data I have not yet displayed it. Most of the work is gett

Yes and that's a problem. Many modern plants aren't selected to grow in natural conditions. They're breed for properties like high yields, large fruit and often other characteristics are traded off to achieve that because the

It's a good thing having a fancy domain isn't important anymore. Domain squatting must be so much less profitable.

You are correct. It's most efficient to first stop hydro when there is cheaper renewable generation available, then if there is still excess then pump uphill into storage. It would be silly to have water going both up and down at the s

It may not be noise causing all these things. It could be tyre dust or fumes or lack of exercise from driving everywhere or anxiety from being hit by a car. It still points a big finger at car culture being bad.

To be fair it's probably how pizzas are made for marketing photos. A steaming microwaved wet tampon in the background gives the illusion of heat.

When even the real faculties of science have become financially driven and corrupted you know that soft 'science' like psychology is even worse.

Progress? There are loads of downsides the AI fans won't acknowledge. It diminishes human value/creativity and will be owned and controlled by the wealthiest people. It's not like the horse being replaced by the tractor. This

So I make a comment about how selfish the culture has become because a bigger vehicle is less safe for people _outside_ that car... And your retort is to tell us about how safe the big vehicles are for people _inside_ the car. The irony is

This clip shows how ridiculously large vehicles have become. Not only is the mass higher than ever but the front ends have become stupidly large which results in pedestrians being mowed down rather than rolling over the top. It's a sym

Rectangle at least makes window layout easy. Another thing that sucks on Mac is the position of notifications always obscuring other stuff. FFS why can't I put them in the bottom right or something?
