Surprised not to see Itanium in that list. Maybe that's number four.

And if it discourages people from signing their binaries at all, then that's definitely a negative outcome.

That's also a really good thing to be testing - both low performance and the lower resolution screens. There's a lot of old and cheap devices out there, and most developers will never use them.

A lot of people append "reddit" when they search for stuff on Google to try and find better results (rightly or wrongly). Killing that and forcing people to login to access any content would be a crazy move for them. I wonder if

These news sites should really just stop using Twitter. Every time Twitter does something stupid and they all just happily keep using it they're just encouraging more stupid decisions down the line.

I'm not calling for Twitter should be banned , I'm saying that if it chooses to block access to European user then I think that's a good thing, especially if the reason that they're doing that is their refusal to follow

I don't use it. But that doesn't mean that I'm not affected by the harm it causes, and the hatred and misinformation that it spreads among people. I believe that the overall impact that Twitter has is a negative one, so if th

Yeah, it's really bad that Google don't actually show the proper characters in the URL. It's hard to spot - but at least if they displayed the actual URL then you'd have a chance.

Damn, yet another downside of the UK leaving the EU. Hopefully they'll include us as well.

Have they shot themselves in the foot though? As long as the money they save from not employing people to manually review cases is less than the profit they're losing by OP (and others in this situation) not advertising on their platfo

And equally, it's hard to find jobs with the low enough requirements and the desired conditions at the offered salary.

If someone has an idea of an improvement to make, they can put forward a business case for it. Then it gets reviewed by someone in management, and if they agree then time/resource/etc are allocated when scheduling permits. And whe

It can vary depending on the time of day - I've certainly been to stores early or late in the day and where all the checkouts have been closed and there's just one member of staff near the self checkouts.

The article seems to be based on the assumption that the anti-theft technology is perfect, and that if it flags then that always means that customer has not scanned an item (intentionally or otherwise). But given how many issues you get wit

That angle is certainly more understandable - it sounds like you're almost treating them as a donation to the developers rather than purchases for your own benefit. Games like Deep Rock Galactic had something similar - the vast majorit

It always astonishes me how much people are willing to pay for cosmetic digital items (game skins, stickers, NFTs, etc). But it's a huge market, even if you leave out the bits of it that are just gambling.

Allowing users to comment on adverts seems like a terrible idea. I'm amazed that any brands allow that - although I suppose if they're still advertising on Twitter perhaps they're not too concerned about what appears next t

Lots of people want to work remotely, and the pool of applicants for each job can be much larger because of the lack of geographic restrictions. So you're facing more competition than you usually would for a fully office based job.

Did you flag those stories as off topic when they were posted? Volunteer based moderation is never going to be perfectly consistent or reliable - but that fact that it wasn't perfect before doesn't change the posting guidelines. T

Bastions seem to be something that a lot of organisations really don't understand. They feel that they need to have them for "security" or to tick some kind of compliance box, but haven't really thought about how to conf

You lose a lot of nuance in written text and its harder to infer tone (especially for non-native speakers), so written discussions can often come across more hostile than spoken ones (even in a workplace between people who know each other).

It's not a panacea by any means - but the level of abuse that get on Facebook doesn't seem quite the same as on sites like Reddit or Twitter. Part of that may be down to the structure of the site, but you don't seem to get th

Because the sad truth is that a lot of people really aren't very nice, and the anonymity of platforms like Reddit makes them feel empowered to act in ways that they would never consider doing in real life. It would be a privacy nightma

The article talks about how these "top news sites" (which they don't seem to define) contain "quality information" and "trusted information" - but is that really true? Even sites that had a very good reput
