Web versions don't work with all browsers, they also want you to use the app, and heavily promote using the app, even though the app is just a web page in a browser that's not your browser. If they want you to use an installed app

I would prefer they do not make an electron app and just have people use the web-app contained in a browser like it was meant to be.

Because the USA is for-profit healthcare industry they need to optimise and increase efficiency. That's the only way to make the numbers go up. Therefore fewer doctors, fewer nurses, fewer administrators (maybe), and more paying patien

It seems not enough people are using AI features and therefore it is being put everywhere so that people can't help but use AI features. Instead of realising that people don't want these features and actively disable or avoid them

I would maintain that your program has more string manipulation for error messages and logging than for generating localised formatted names. Further I do say that if you're creating text for presenting to the user then the most common

That's what I mean, you treat filesystem paths as bags of bytes separated by known ASCII characters, as the only path manipulation that you generally need to do is to append a path, remove a path, change extension, things that only car

I would argue that for most programs when you're doing string manipulation you're doing it for internal programming reasons - logs, error messages, etc. In that case you are in nearly full control of the strings and therefore can

The same as all businesses which sell software to other businesses. It's subscriptions all the way down.

I guess that if they wanted to charge extra for the AI features then people wouldn't want to pay them for it. So instead of buying a perpetual licence with 3 years of updates included, and having to pay extra for AI features, they deci

If the market had all information then there would be no trading as the price would be correct and nobody would want to buy or sell, as doing so would be money-losing. The market works because of different information, opinions, ideas that

It could also be that a lot of languages don't actually have integer types and just use a 64bit floating point number instead - ala JavaScript etc.

Well luckily if you've bought a licence to the Serif programs then you'll be able to use it even if the next version goes subscription only.

I think the "uncle that doesn't know anything but claims to be an expert and will tell you his opinion" is the best description of LLMs that I can think of. They will say anything confidently without knowing anything.

My assumption would be that if you have a company's app installed it allows them to spam you with marketing notifications for different things. Much harder to do when you can only use emails, because too many emails can get you put int

It has been suggested that the whole individual change movement was created to distract the populace from the actual big polluters. Like answering the question of "Why do we keep extracting coal and oil?" with "Why don't

Realistically it has probably been too late for the last 20 years at least. Though this kind of thinking doesn't ever help things to improve. Still have to believe that we can fix things and we can improve things.

From an article I read recently ( https://www.earthday.org/dear-big-oil-its-you-not-me/ ), it states that individual contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is only a small percentage and that industry and refining is t

I think it's made clear in the show that just running the farm by itself would not be profitable, and if lucky would break even. Other farmers in the area are in far worse situations financially as they do not have a TV show as a spons

I think when tech people think of becoming a farmer they're thinking of doing something small like this https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-series/gourmet-farmer and maybe something like Clarkson's Farm (

It's 3 airlines in the USA that have this problem because they want to add more codeshare flights that other airlines are running. I don't think there will be enough motivation from the rest of the world to solve this problem any

by daemin 2y ago
There was no need to have 5 digit codes or more than 0-9 for the flight numbers 20 years ago. Arguably there isn't a need now. It's 3 airlines in the entire world which have this issue because they want to have their own 4000 flig

I've had Google start rerouting me when I'm stopped at traffic lights and the car rolled backwards like a few cms. Or when I'm driving down a road and it thinks I'm somewhere else and starts trying to find another route.

The practical way I look at this is: In the vec.push_back(Widget(a, b, c)) case the Widget is constructed first, then it gets pushed to the container. At this point the container checks if it has enough storage and expands its storage if it

I'd kind of expect IT administrators to try out these updates on a staging machine before fully deploying to all critical systems. But here we are.

If the government agencies insist on using this particular product then you're right. If it's a choice between many such products than there should be some competition between them.
