You probably simply don't know what this is about. When Android phones "age" to a certain point, they become locked (user cannot log into the OS), and the only way to circumvent this is by jailbreaking them and installing a

Let me introduce you to Microsoft's Office 365 or w/e this pile of garbage is called. Especially Teams. This fiasco of Web chat programs is the reason I have to keep two browsers open. Also Slack.

It doesn't do anything differently beside the speed... Why do people keep praising it so much? It doesn't solve any of the real problems... come on. The problems weren't the tools, the problems are the bad design of the imp

If you need to package for Anaconda, uv has nothing to offer you. It's a replacement for a number of PyPA tools, so it's not compatible with Anaconda tools. The selling point of uv is that it does things faster than the tools it
245.

Uv doesn't fix anything. The fixing that Python needs is the removal of the concept of virtual environments and fixing the import and packaging systems instead. The only thing it does, it makes bad things happen faster. Who cares...

The compiler says "expected X, but found Y". I don't know how to interpret this: is the type of the thing underlined with "^^^" X or Y? "Expected" and "found" are just like "up" and &qu

* Rust errors can be equally unhelpful. Also, the error you posted is hands down awful. It doesn't tell you what went wrong, and it's excessively naive to rely on compiler to offer a correct fix in all but the most trivial cases.

I use stumpwm. The reason is to have fewer features. In the few years I've used it, I never wanted to select text with mouse (although sometimes I had no choice, eg. in PDF), but even then, I never wanted to drag it with the mouse (and

It's humanly impossible to know what a program does when it grows beyond the size anyone can read in reasonable amount of time. For comparison, consider this: I'm in my late 40s and I've never read In Search of Lost Time. My

Seems like you missed the point too: I'm not talking about DeepBlue, I'm talking about using the game of chess as a "lab rat" in order to understand something more general. DeepBlue was the opposite to the desire of und

I remember the article, and remember how badly it missed the point... The goal of writing a chess program that could beat a world champion wasn't to beat the world champion... the goal was to gain understanding into how anyone can play

I wrote my own Protobuf implementation (well, with some changes). Ditching the default values was one of the changes I made. I don't see any reason to have that. But I don't think that Protobuf is a reasonable or even decent pr

No they didn't. I was on the CAB (community advisory board) at the time (from the community side, received an invitation due to being very active on several ActionScript forums etc.) What was happening is this: Adobe inherited Flex Fra

Anecdotally, I ran into a similar solution "by chance". Long ago, I worked for a dating site. Our CTO at the time was a "guest of honor" who was brought in by a family friend who was working in the marketing at the time

I'm probably biased, but in the number of cases where I had to work with Kafka, I'd really prefer to simply have an SQL database. In all of those cases I struggled to understand why developers wanted Kafka, what problem was it so

It seems to be rare that we get to choose whose dignity we should prioritize. The common answer to questions like this: we should choose both. Both are important. Also, it looks like Holmes is being already punished for what she's do

I believe the parable makes sure that we see the prodigal son as a very bad person. They didn't have VCs and creepy CEOs back in the days when it was written, so we'd have to extrapolate from what they knew unto the present, but
