That’s what many people do as well, I feel. Not joking. That aside, copilot works well as a proactive search tool for idioms, templates, and boilerplate. It can also do things like build the invocation of a CLI tool, with arguments, from a

It’s impossible to know people’s intentions, because we even can’t really explain 100% the things we do ourselves. So, it’s a bad starter for an argument… It’s better to judge people for their actions, rather, because even if someone does s

I’m happily using CloudFlare pages. The reason I haven’t tried Netlify is that after the free tier everything seems a little overpriced. I didn’t go for Vercel because I don’t want to use Next.js and I’m afraid I’ll run across some limitati

Nothing, because also PostCSS is a specific program, while there’s a ton of ways to compile SCSS… Ruby, node-js, built-in compiler in the IDE, GUI frontends, etc.

And they lost me with the graph example… because both graphs are the same! How are you not leaking information about the solution if you’re showing the path in the exact same graph! If they consider two graphs drawn differently as different

Another option would be that META created a small model that could be run client-side and picked the right selection of ads to show elsewhere without even exfiltrating keywords.

I would call Legend of Zelda an action RPG. Although it has some puzzles, the main activity is exploring and fighting, your equipment and skills improve as you advance (allowing you to face against tougher monsters) and part of the challeng

The GDPR came in effect in 2018 (May 25). When it did, most companies scrambled to comply. Back then I researched the analytics situation and can say from what I remember (and my POV): - It was super clear it was a touchy subject, because y

There were many steps in the right direction in the past years: - Semantic versioning - The concept of LTS (long term support) versions (e.g. node.js) - Github simplifies forking, submitting patches, or sending issues. - Tests + CI announce

I tried cleaning the AirPods and case with a q-tip with rubbing alcohol, several times... and they were new (1 month of use) and visibly clean.

Unfortunately a lot of sites are mis-adviced about the GDPR. In fact, a good percentage (most?) of the cookie pop-ups are illegal under the GDPR. European Data Protection Authorities (DPAs)in Austria, France, and Italy have ruled that Googl

I think the story in the article is related to a big issue with Homebrew that's not so related to entitlement but to expectations: Homebrew's philosophy and default behavior is to keep everything updated to the latest version. Thi

For anyone wondering: Homebrew sends data to Google Analytics ( https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics ) on installs, build breaks, and other events. It's an opt-out setting. Google Analytics violates the European privacy laws (

The reason dislike count had to be removed is that it enables hate campaigns against things (e.g. the recent controversy around the trailer for the live action The Little Mermaid movie, to name one among many). Organized hate campaigns have

The crazy thing is that on the last year I found emails from Google, and Apple, in the spam folder. Apple's were invoices... of which I get a couple a month (iTunes purchases, subscriptions). Google's I think were announcements fo

It was a question in bad faith. The central issue is the power asymmetry, whereas we don’t know when we’re tracked, by whom, or how our information is correlated.

iOS Safari opens PDFs directly. It's a file format with native support. I don't know why the OP had to do those steps, as that never happened to me... maybe the site hosting the PDF informed the wrong MIME Content type, so the fil

Being constantly charging is actually bad for the battery life. Being around 100% stresses it… so that’s why some Apple devices now try to determine how much charge is needed and keep it at 80% if possible
