Tesla’s models, S 3 X Y, meant “Sexy”, especially since the logos were written in this order in the menu bar of their website, which is also their order of creation. What are they going to do with “3Y… ?”

Laptop work is clearly not OSHA-compliant. I’m in France so it’s probably regulated a little bit more, but having a screen at eye height and a keyboard slightly under elbow height is the first line on the security analysis document (le DUER

Let’s remember it’s not new: Back in 2005, gannies (and 20yo non-nerds too) would install all sorts of viruses by clicking on popups thinking it’s the real thing. I personally switched to Firefox then Mac which didn’t have this problem. It’

Even the CPU. Windows users lose probably 25% of their machine power to ads, telemetry and OEM spyware and spamware, back to Oracle’s Ask Bar in 2005.

You’re talking about VC startups. I disagree with the sour mindset, as I don’t feel those games were necessary for my startup, although I admit mine was bootstrapped (0$), and didn’t grow as far as the others, it still made me millionaire,

I’ve recently realized that behind each copycat, there is an entrepreneur. It’s not a big factory with written “Leading #1 in piracy” at the front. It’s someone with almost as many skills as the original entrepreneurs, trying to copy a few

Well in this theme, there were 800,000 “boat people” (name given to the Vietnamese who escaped communism by boat in 1975-1995).

All enterprise users already pay for it. They’ve included it by force to the base subscription (and about 30% of our company actively uses it, according to in-app stats as an admin).

May I suggest that the political divide is extremely harmful? I don’t understand why [other camp] is so hateful, socially excluding at the first sign of our political leaning, etc. I agree we also need to organize activities, but when socia

How do you suggest to deal with Gemini? Extremely useful to understand whether something is worrying or not. Whether we like it or not, it’s a main participant to the discussion.

Ollama! Why didn’t they just run Ollama and a public model! They’ve kept the last 10 years with a Siri who doesn’t know any contact named Chronometer only to require the best in class LLM?

You mean there is bidirectional binding between form.elements.username and the UI value? Why did we need React! HTML should have IFs and FOR loops…

It lacks superlatives. “Discover how [the amazing] [secret|mystery] that no-one [wants to tell you|ever discovers]” should be the first sentence. Hopefully it will not make its way upstream in Wikipedia.

IntelliJ repads the tables automatically when cells get bigger. I think you can even resize using the mouse!

Observation bias. Those who succeed to drive themselves to do an effort, are already out of the depression. Try doing 7hrs sports a week and falling into depression: You won’t have the energy. It’s not sports that gets you out of depression

Let’s be honest, that was a crazy operation. I wonder whether they really secured all chances of success, or just winged it with chances of not depositing the leader, and him being able to summon his diplomatic relations into 50 countries d

What’s frustrating about the VisionPro is their absolute refusal to address it as a giant screen. All people I know describe this usecase first: “Will be awesome when it replaces my 2x34" screens”. I described it to the salesman when h

This is an excellent piece of information that I didn’t have. If the company with most data can’t succeed, then it seems like a really hard problem. On the side, they can understand why humans couldn’t do it either.

I’m sure I’ve had the experience of being told it’s a duplicate, without resolving my problem. In any case, you may be right, and yet if you search this thread for “horrible” and “obnoxious”, you’ll find dozens of occurrence. Maybe defining

It seems you deny each problem that everyone sees in SO. The fact is SO repulsed people, so there is a gap between your interpretation and reality. > It is as though people think they are being insulted when they are immediately given a

StackOverflow is famously obnoxious about questions badly asked, badly categorized, duplicated… It’s actually a topic on which StackOverflow would benefit from AI A LOT. Imagine StackOverflow rebrands itself as the place where you can ask t

What drives me away from Spotify is recommendations: Starting with my preferred, it drifts into unknown artists; Suggested playlists are unfortunately for people my age (New! Last album from Pink Floyd! probably because I’m 45). And it’s no

It drives usage up! Seriously, I wonder whether this “Make things to annoy people” trend is a normal situation, or an emerging behavior due to our era, and whether it will be solved one day. Example: In 2003 all UX was abominable, programs

And this is incredible motivation for me. I’m in my 40ies, and have been unsuccessful with girls. Of course being in your 20ies helped because that’s when good stories start, and at 40 women are already taken, but I find it a decent explana
