I have a hard time sympathizing with people complaining that Reddit made it difficult to freely scrape the entire site to train AI. I also have zero empathy for Reddit that they are hopefully going to lose a large chunk of that data from us

I'd love a realistic alternative to virtualbox on Windows for running Debian as a development environment. I've tried hypervisor but I can't get networking to work, and trying to set up another adapter gives me a bsod on ever

This was one of the reasons people hated the Windows 8 start screen. You go to access something while keeping what's on screen in your mind but the entire thing is now replaced with a sea of icons and text on a blue background. Such a

You definitely pay for quality too. Chinese building blocks vary wildly in terms of clutch power and overall precision. But if all you're looking for is something to display and not ever touch again, it's probably the best way to

The absolute void of interest to enforce the law is the problem here, not finding offenders. I'm my area, all it would take is a cop to watch the main drag and start enforcing speed limits and state and local noise ordinances and it wo

We're also back to table layouts with grid, albeit a lot more usable this time around.

Thank you for explaining it. I'm curious if it's just a bad implementation.

I maintain an old cms that stores the id of the parent, left sibling, and right sibling. Making any changes to the order or grouping is wrought with peril because you never know if everything is going to be updated properly. When it isn&#x2

And risk all of your work being owned by some entity you have no hopes of fighting against and being left with nothing to show for but an atrophied brain because you've offloaded all your thinking to a machine that doesn't belong

Offloading the use of your brain to proprietary and legally murky third party services that can deny you access for any reason whatsoever seems shortsided. What happens when you don't have access to these services and you find out you

I find that comforting. I know it works and isn't going to be affected by what's trendy. Fortunately, the source is available and if there is a need to make changes, that is entirely possible.

Outlook gets my eternal disdain because it still does not understand HTML written after 2006. It's so bad, we have a dedicated email HTML person.

Gotta love smart punctuation. Just yesterday, I had to fix a broken page because someone dared store a link tag in a word document, which helpfully and silently converted its quotes into smart quotes for the user. I have a Ruby class that&

Look at it from the point of view of someone that wants to make something without having to devote considerable time to learning a language as complicated as c++ or c# relative to python. Everyone starts somewhere.

If they were serious, they'd build a phone with a user replaceable battery. As in, my battery died while standing in line at the store and I can swap it out right there without tools and 6 hours and a lot of anxiety.

Your post implies there is something obviously better. Genuine question. What would that be? I'm always on the lookout for better tools.

Today I learned about the order attribute, which would have come in handy this year. Due to the magic of working primarily with perfectly functional but older projects, I only recently got the chance to start using flexbox. I immediately lo
