Assuming C:/Program Files is a bug and you should notify the developers. The installer should ask the user if they are installing for just themselves or for everybody on the machine. If it's the former, the installation is typical

How does Haskell deal with things like memory-mapped I/O or signal handlers where the value of a variable can be changed by factors outside of the programmer's control?

You might be surprised to know that I also mow my lawn, I clean home, I cook sometimes, I do laundry, I drive myself to work, and I sometimes even watch TV, spend time on HN, or play video games.

Two things I suspect I'll miss from Evernote is their web clipper and their OCR. Last time I tried the Obsidian web clipper, it was pretty rough. It would drop images or include ads. I found the Evernote clipper to be pretty much flawl

I like Evernote but it just isn’t worth $130 / year for me. Last year they had a sale for $50 (or was it $60) for a year and I paid for that. If I can’t renew at that I’ll have to figure out how to migrate to Obsidian.

I don't think they're tone deaf, they just know that inexpensive gaming headsets can't make them enough money. They've invested something like $100 billion into VR and "only" sold 20 million headsets The revenu

I get what they are trying to say. Looking for negatives is the problem. When I was in college I got into beer. I was brewing at home and whenever I went out I was looking for something new and tasting it like I was a beer critic. It was gr

Going full on Godwin today? People working for Google are not Nazis and people using Android phones are not like Auschwitz prisoners. That's a really terrible analogy.

In every state you have to have a license to practice. The advice to not leave the noose out is likely enough for ChatGPT to lose it's license to practice (if it had one).

> $1m is just not a big target anymore Yes it is. The percentage of developers in the App Store who make more than $1 million per year is tiny. According to this analysis[1], it's a single digit percentage. Hardly anybody pays 30%.

by criddell 1y ago
Why do so many people quote the 30% number? Only apps with more than $1,000,000 annual revenue are paying 30%. Most apps are smaller than that and are hit with a 15% fee.

I think maybe they meant that the majority of vehicles that flout the rules are human-driven.

What's wrong with that? My charitable read is that each person is doing meaningful, necessary work. Nobody is superfluous.

Unless the hack was built on zero-days, I don't like the framing of the hack costing the UK economy billions. The headline should be "Land Rover's Poor Cybersecurity and ITSEC Practices Cost UK Economy Billions", or so

I’m trying this on my iPad. My first bit of feedback is that the icons in the right column should be higher contrast. For me, they are difficult to see. Also, I see the icons are eye, mortar board, and ear. What’s the fourth icon? I’m solid

I usually run the image(s) through more than one converter then compare the results. They all have problems, but the parts they agree on are usually correct.

Windows isn't worsening in every regard. Some people don't like the telemetry so for them, that's a major privacy strike. But the typical person taking home a new laptop from Best Buy doesn't care about installation. UX

I think a lot of writing online about productivity is like this. Some people seem to have a near endless appetite for writing on pens and notebooks, note taking systems, text editors, desk accesssories, every day carry, etc…

GE was bought by Haier (a Chinese company) about ten years ago. I have a bunch of them and so far they are all pretty good.

I just replaced the drain pump and motherboard on my GE dishwasher and it was super easy. Everything was easy to access and all the major parts had a QR code on them making parts lookup idiot proof. When the parts showed up they came with a

An NVIDIA 5090 with 128 GB of VRAM is $13k. It doesn’t make any sense to run that at home when you can pay OpenAI $20 / month to use it (it would take more than 50 years to spend $13k at OpenAI this way). So technically you might be ab

Seriously? So I can run the best models from 2024 at home now? For example, what would I need to run Open AI's o1 model from 2024 at home? Are there good guides for setting this up?

That doesn't mean you can't say one is a bigger deal than the other. If I learned how to say "hello" in French today and also found out I have stage 4 brain cancer, they are completely different things but one is a bigge

They scanned then shredded the books so that publishers couldn't claim an unauthorized copy was made. All Anthropic did was a format shift which is allowed.

I think the key part was they scanned the books then destroyed the originals. I suppose the analog here would be to log into Amazon and delete the purchased ebooks.
