Yes. Technically, there are situations where the air fryer which is best for you and the air fryer that makes Amazon the most money are the same. However, with the number of airfryers on Amazon it seems safe to assume this is a rare coincid

(Disclaimer: I use Gitea daily for work and Codeberg daily for personal stuff. I prefer Codeberg) Gitea is developed by a for-profit organisation while Forgejo is developed by a non-profit. Ability for rug pull is much greater for gitea imo

I really want to stop using Google maps but the issue I have with every other option is that I can never just search for the place I want to go to. 99% of the time, the place I am going to is a business, searching "<shop name> &l

Could you elaborate more on what you find useful about it? I'm struggling to think of a time where an assistant would have been useful in any chat I've been in, but this seems like you've put a lot of effort into it so it mus

Is this really the case? I feel like most windows users just bought a laptop with Windows already on it. Even if all home users were running pirated versions they would still become entrenched in the world of Windows/Office which would

I think they define selling software as selling a file that people download. Which is a pretty reasonable definition to me. With SaaS you are selling access to your servers.

This is such an interesting idea. Might as well try it Edit: didn't last long (about an hour). Needed to show some one a photo and had to turn it off.

The article brushes over the idea of a binary open source/proprietary in favour of a range of openness. Talking about the different degrees of openness in open source is a valuable thing to do but it's important to keep the clear

I feel that this conflicts with the definition of open source software. It's important that we maintain that definition. It's also worth having and discussing this idea of a 'spectrum' of openness but that needs to be se

I have tried plenty of times to get it to work. My colleages have done the same. It just doesn't work for the kind of coding we are doing I guess. Maybe I am terrible at prompting. But I am using AI all the time in the form of chat (ra

Micro QR codes are a thing however they cannot store enough data for even a basic URL ( https://google.com ) All QR codes are using some amount of error correction plus the locating squares in the corners which uses up space but i

Seems perfectly reasonable to retract the award when they admit to breaking the rules. I think they need to define the rule better though for future years. "Games developed using generative AI are strictly ineligible for nomination&quo

Anyone else cringe at this kind of swearing-filled stuff. I'm all for people expressing themselves however they like but I just personally cringe at it for some reason. I have no problem with swearing but I think it reminds me of when

None of the models currently are able to make competent changes to the codebases I work on. This isn't about them "making mistakes" which I have to fix. They completely fail to the point where I cannot use any of their output

The great wall of china being visible from space is the one that always annoyed me by being so obviously wrong. Just because it's really long isn't going to make it more visible

Just started using OpenSCAD recently and love it. While most CAD tools have a million features to learn, OpenSCAD is completely described by a cheat sheet you could print on a piece of A4 (like most programming languages). I would really re

A lot of bots will be able to make requests from a range of IP addresses. If you rate limit one, they just start sending requests from the next.

It annoys me that big-tech marketing has made most people believe that "personalised advertising" means they get ads which are more "useful" to them. I regularly see people opt in to personalised advertising because of t

This is what I do but I don't try to make it complicated with too many numbers. "2 weeks but there's a 10% chance something bad happens and it takes longer". I have no problem if they just hear the "2 weeks" pa

I like the idea of using vanilla CSS for my personal website but, not being a designer, making something that looks good from nothing is difficult. I've looked at some templates to get started with but they are generally a mess of a mi

Unless the author is insanely rich, they probably don't want to spend increasingly large amounts on hosting unless they have a way to make money back (even if it's just to break even).

Isn't HDL basically the intermediate representation you want? Plus, you can learn it with simulation or FPGA dev board which makes it reasonably accessable
