Same, for me it made it possible for me to work on Linux with teammates on Mac with very little messing around of the setup scripts.

Maybe browser font tech wasn't quite there yet. It's not shown in the video but if you want the text to show mid animation then you need to do a skew effect on the text.

I always thought the argument was that "continuing to drive the cars we have is better than building new cars even if the new cars are EVs". Which, even if true, doesn't sound particularly helpful or useful because very few p

Airlines are just about the only business that have the ability to charge credit cards without real time authorization by the network. This is for things like buying a drink while in flight. I wouldn't be surprised if this was all part

Flights are one of the very few cases where this happens automatically though the card providers systems. It's called L2 data, and it's sent a little while after the transaction goes through.

I don't think this is the reason, cash will always have no fees. In some senses it can have negative fees if you're not very diligent with your tax reporting * wink wink* . Not accepting cash is probably more to do with not wantin

Perplexity really fell off for me, especially the free version. Their syntax highlighting stopped working, and even the fonts seemed messed up. You could tell they were mixing and matching whatever the cheapest model was because the sources

As others have mentioned it doesn't stop YouTube ads or search ads. Most likely because Mozilla is still quite dependent on Google for it's income. Which is why I think we need to be less critical everytime Mozilla tries to make m

I don't think there's anything like that going on. They just word vomit into a secondary area, and then there is an internal prompt that says "clean this up and summarize for the user".

I'm surprised to hear that it's so successful beyond banner ads. I figured most platforms would use the same domain for their ads as their content. I'm pretty sure YouTube and my "smart" TV do that. Plus I'd pr

That argument has actually worked in some cases, especially when you need to click away to actually access the document. I assume it's why we see more and more examples where you need to scroll the full body of text in order to "a

I don't think the article mentioned it but adjusting how you configure the WSGI server can really affect performance too. It's also easy to accidentally make your DB queries sequentially or lazily. Using select_related is critical

I agree, the inevitable feedback loops will be painful to watch play out. AI written blog -> AI training set -> repeat.

Presumably this is because LLMs just echo all the pro-Postgres Medium articles they've been trained on. They don't have any actual experience.

Frieren is fantastic and beautifully done, with only a few scenes that look cheap. But I actually strongly dislike the credit sequence you're talking about, and I'm pretty sure it's rotoscoped.

They don't usually. In this case they do because they need it to look jittery.

These days that's probably true, but when a projectionist needed to roll the film and babysit the equipment I doubt it would be worthwhile. Not to mention that film rolls do wear out overtime.

I was a big fan of Perplexity early on, but their product (at least the free version) has deteriorated so much in the last few months. I don't think they test enough with the cheaper LLMs they are using. - Code blocks are often not for

All true, except I think you've conflated software and software product a bit. The author is mourning the craft, the same way the boot makers or furniture makers probably mourned the decline of their craft. We'll still have boots,

I know a commercial product isn't necessarily the solution, but I just love Tailscale. It makes sshing around absurdly easy and clean. There is also the open source headscale, which I haven't used but seems to be well respected.
