Why do all of these model providers have such issues naming/versioning them? Why even use a version number (2.5) if you aren't going to change it when you update the model? This industry desperately needs a Steve Jobs to bring som

I've been super duper happy with AntennaPod since I discovered it a few years ago! It's perfectly useable right out of the gate but has nice customizations if you want/need it. And the Android Auto support is great (essential

I feel like we're lucky Nvidia even sells consumer GPUs any more. At this point it's just a distraction to them and takes away resources they could be devoting to higher value hardware. And the data center-class hardware doesn&#x2

It's not just dev culture - it's *EVERYTHING* culture. In modern society, if you're not trying to monetize all of your hobbies and every little thing you do you are seen as doing something wrong. Everything has to be a hustle

Hasn't Ruby Central always 'owned' RubyGems.org, Bundler, and all related infra? Removing existing maintainers from the project isn't good - and hopefully it's a temporary oversight as Ruby Central gets things set u

It's not. The lead maintainer of Homebrew (Mike McQuaid) is helping to mediate the conversation between the parties, per his own post. Has nothing specifically to do with Homebrew.

> Direct DOM access doesn't make any sense as a WASM feature. I disagree. The idea of doing DOM manipulation in a language that is not Javascript was *the main reason* I was ever excited about WASM.

I have started just carrying my laptop around with me more and more. I increasingly only use my phone to make calls, text people, and take pictures of my kids. Any time I want to use the internet I default to my laptop. This started as a wa

Screenshots of this OS sure are...something. I'm gonna hold off on upgrading. Maybe they'll tone it down next year.

If you don't need the battery life of a MacBook and you're happy getting a desktop device, there's plenty of machines running new AMD chips that are just as fast as an M series mac, if not faster. And they'll run Linux w

I am a millennial and I grew up with computers. I was taught that it was grammatically proper to use dashes, not hyphens. Microsoft Word (and later, Google Docs) made this trivially easy because you could type two hyphens (--) and it would

I love it for a marketing website. It would be a hard no from me if the actual product/application was like this though.

Yes, and I use those on my desktop. Doesn't help with the mobile apps though. I guess the solution is just no YouTube on the phone. The one that upsets me the most is Instagrams shift from photos to video. I miss seeing cool photos fro

The thing the Browser Company does best is marketing. I have always felt like they really wanted to market their products more than build them. The founders should let Dia/Arc go and just go into product marketing. Many would hire them
