It is 100x easier to support your own software. If the default browser breaks for some reason, it often just feels like the OS broke to the end user! Microsoft would love to remove the option to choose a system default browser entirely, but

On that note, does git as a protocol even have a clean mechanism for redacting history like this? If someone were to press this to the logical extreme, how could a developer most cleanly excise violating history from a repo using current to

No snark taken. My counterpoint here would be that HTML is a markup language and that the "equivalent to emacs" would be the web browser itself. My issue with that potential position is that the web is implicitly untrusted. That&#

Is that entirely true? I don't see any reason you couldn't load Linux on, for example, the Mac Mini. I would normally never consider Apple products, because I don't care for the lock-in either, but... the value proposition pa

I absolutely agree. It's the best way to get an app out that works everywhere. In fact, I actually really wish we could collectively work out some kind of shared container environment for such apps to run more "natively". S

There's also the simple fact that marriage usually improves upward economic mobility and even outright creates wealth in some cases: * If you're both employed, the higher earner could potentially be pulled down into a lower tax br

OpenGL/Vulkan are open source, multi-platform abstraction layers. Of course, the graphics API isn't the only thing you have to get to work on multiple platforms. There's also the sound stack, networking, window management, an

The short term answer is probably going to be "the driver, until this becomes a sufficiently common issue that legislators get involved" The longer term answer is probably going to be "AI insurance". The bigger question

I think the wiki approach works best for very diverse references, where there is no such thing as a "good enough" maintainer. You can't do Wikipedia like this, because nobody is an expert in all of human knowledge. On the oth

Features drive adoption. I might be more inclined to believe in Wayland if other secured platforms adopted similar constraints. Unfortunately for Wayland, other comparable platforms have consistently found security-conscious solutions tha

The premise of the question is a little flawed. Most people just enforce a specific editor configuration via either a pre-commit git script or a plugin-based solution like editorconfig. Once the configuration is enforced, you can configure

There is no fundamental "why". Sometimes a law only needs to get you 90% of the way to an ideal to satisfy legislators. We live our lives steeped in such procedural gaps, but to live any other way would probably become a micro-man

Can't speak for OP, but I've found that staggered layouts are rather non-standardized when it comes to the severity of the slant. As a consequence, my muscle memory is all over the place when touch typing, especially for the third

This one struck me for its tongue-in-cheek levity, credit to haroldgibbons: My "aha" moment was realizing most of my ideas and most apps out there are complete garbage. Not needed. Damaging, even. 99.9% of all of it. For exampl

I would say it is wiser to draw a conclusion using the census household size data, since the headline statistic of household income is also sourced from the census. Why compare apples and oranges when you have apples and apples?

And let's address this counterargument: "Regardless of 9/11, why wasn't the DOJ doing literally anything else?" I mean, the DOJ is a department. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's not just a si

This feels like one of those "mind blowing" factoids. I mean, nobody had 9/11 on their calendars (aside from literally, I guess). I suppose you could argue that the U.S. should have gotten obssessively involved with the mid

Yes, but they are pitifully weak compared to the same addons back when they were implemented in XUL. It's not just because XUL was more free. WebExtensions as an API just lacks the scope for such enhancements. Mozilla essentially copie

I think it's more accurate to say that die shrinkage is over. Moore's Law still has a fighting chance, we just have to wait and see what the clever engineers at AMD, Intel, Qualcom, et al. do about it. Of course, with 5 million tr

I wonder what this is signalling, when it comes to how Buffet's firm stands on market volatility? With stocks up and fresh bad news about the state of the pandemic rolling in, I would think that they would be more inclined to wait now

There is also a difference in pricing. Gambling is priced as a game, a personal luxury. You pay quite little for a vanishingly small chance at a payout. Notice how there are very few people who actually ever "count on" a lottery t

Of course, high cost of insurance is not necessarily a bad thing. If there are other viable, less risky flights, this would, I feel, be a healthy pressure.

I disagree. Would you say a specific address in an array has edges? No, because it's an address, a fixed point. Even if that array accidentally described a square, the individual array addresses would have nothing to do with that. It&#

I can't say I'm surprised. We all knew a second wave would be likely and that was before states reopened early and protesters took to the streets. The question now is whether or not states will be more squeamish this time about ro

Nope, like wiki style citations to external links. Maybe it's just some superscript trickery, but I've seen it from multiple people, so I assumed it's a hidden feature.
