   I use Edge currently because of the vertical tabs and I switch between the two modes to suit my needs. 90% of the time, I only use horizontal tabs. For the other 10%, it suits my needs when doing research, keeping all my tabs available and

   I beat it in a weekend without a guide. And GameFAQs was a glorious thing in my days; I would print out pages as a kid.

   I've always likened Minecraft to a digital version of LEGO.

   Minecraft is really great - I would stop ignoring it and play it with your kid. My two "non-gamer" daughters play it several times a week together. They have done so for nearly 10 years.

   It's emotional and psychological manipulation to get you to pay for their subscription... nothing else.

   CSV is still king because of one thing: inertia It's just much easier to keep using it, since you're already doing it. In the meantime, how about XML? /awaits the pack of raving mad HNers

   I used to play with WER/Space (W forward, E left, R right, Space back) with Q as my jump button. That gave me Tab, A, S, D, F, G, T along with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in a natural resting position. These days, I use the WASD scheme because o

    Alcohol is more addictive than nicotine. The "advantage" of nicotine is that it creates a physical dependence more readily at smaller doses, but alcohol is psychologically pervasive. To the point where entire cultures have gone to

    Would you consent to DNA screening every time you fly? You have to draw the line somewhere and I would rather draw the line here (not consenting to airport face scans).

    It was probably the right decision on Biden's part. My main right now is who are they going to position in opposition to Trump? This is too little, too late. Four months until the Election... and I don't feel like the Democrat par

    Honestly, what we need are two internet(s): - One for adults over 18 - One for minors under 18 All indications are that we will be heading in that direction.

    I like this. The only things I really use on my phone is the camera, gps and music. Occasionally, I'll check things on the web- but often, I will wait with that until I can sit down at my desk. Unforunately, I'm somewhat involunta

    Gen AI do not understand or think. Full stop. Is there thinking involved in saying: "2 + 2 = 4"? No. It's a 'fact'. That's how these weights work. It's essentially a very complex SQL query. It's only

    So much of DevOps is being folded back into traditional roles now that the tooling has stabilized, and people are becoming disillusioned with the build, test, deploy loop. It doesn't scale very well: the larger the codebase/team,

    This is one of the reasons why I avoid "collecting" anything. (Another is space, maintenance, etc.) There's just not much point, unless you absolutely love something. But many people collect with the end-game of making a prof

    Well, "technically" - it wasn't a false claim. It WAS dependent on IE and other things. It didn't have to be dependent - MS made it that way on purpose, so things would stop working without (even though the dependency di

    The end of days are coming! Joking aside, all of this is just inferences. They don't actually know what's going on. For all we know, it could be an alien species turning the attic light on.
