I'm really amused that the least painful way to develop for Windows on Windows is to just use Linux.

Having the sudo command open an entirely separate terminal as an admin user is absolutely ridiculous and completely on brand for Microsoft. Along with the UAC dialog, I can't think of a worse way for sudo to behave. What's wrong w

How exactly do they propose to enforce this that isn't the same way they "enforce" already illegal robocalls?

No, that's not how that works. If tip is ground and ring is Vcc, there is no possible way to create a dangerous short. So lets imagine what happens to the host port when you unplug a live device. Vcc breaks first, and all other pins sh

That's the worst part: Windows would be the best it's ever been if it weren't made intentionally worse. Windows 10 is actually quite good underneath all the crap. Except for a few extremely specific gripes, I think it's

While obviously I'm rooting for Linux to become the de-facto OS, I'm much more excited to simply watch Windows die a slow and painful death. IMO Microsoft is in a terminal spiral they have no hope of recovering from. The enshitt

I mean, it's cool to just want more wolves. They're pretty neat animals.

Outside my office window is one of the major roads through the city. Nearly every day I see a very old blue van drive West, carrying what looks like industrial kitchen modules built into a trailer. Several hours later, I see it driving East

I don't buy the causality argument, it's based on the same incomplete physics that tell us FTL is impossible. Besides, that only applies to truly superluminal velocities, it doesn't hold for other forms of travel like wormhol

Be honest, do you want the wolves to solve the problem or do you just want wolves?

That's why I choose to believe that FTL will be possible at some point. Otherwise we may as well be the only life in the universe, the rest is dead and pointless. If we can't leave our solar system, our entire universe may as well

Generally it's taken for granted that the technological problems with generation ships can be solved with sufficient time and resources. We can probably build a metal box that lasts for a thousand years. We can probably design a sustai

The universe is infinite. FTL just makes it slightly less infinite. FTL means we actually get to see the grandeur of the universe instead of hypothesizing mathematical models of it. Without FTL, we'll never leave this star system. Th

I think at that point, you'd go find a really big black hole to use as a lens instead

Quite literally everything is exposed to the OS. It can't really be any other way. If it weren't exposed to the OS, then you can't access it either. Any protection mechanism you're imagining is managed by the OS. You t

You really can't hide information from the operating system while expecting to also use that information in the same OS you're trying to hide it from. The problem isn't that the data is available. It simply has to be availa

DDG is nearly as bad as google. Besides, Kagi actually shows you results for the -exact- query you enter. It does not replace your query with whatever it thinks you want. Kagi will respect quotes and Boolean operators and other advanced fea

I'm always mildly surprised to remember that Yahoo still exists. I'd honestly forgotten that they even had a search engine in the first place.

Compared to a broken hip, literally anything is better. Compared to a healthy hip, a replacement is always worse. Which is the precise reason we only do joint replacements after the joint is beyond repair. We don't do hip replaceme

Previous vehicles were recalled to the dealership for software updates. Is this sensationalism? It's "just" a software update after all, no need to scare consumers.

Anyone who's had orthopedic surgery will tell you, your limb/joint is never the same. Absolutely no one would choose it if the alternative weren't worse.
