2003 me was optimistic that wine was a dead-end, with games like Neverwinter Nights, and Quake 3 Arena having native linux releases. The Year of Linux on the Desktop was near, and wine would surely be a temporary stop-gap.

I've been experimenting with a little vibe coding. I've generally found the quality of .NET to be quite good. It trips up sometimes when linters ping it for rules not normally enforced, but it does the job reasonably well. The fro

Just as consumers don't want to pay the "true" price of food or the "true" price of clothing, we don't want to pay the "true" price of software. You might grumble about $30/mo for something like

The thing that sticks out at me most on that table is "Mandelbrot" being such an outlier, has the LuaJIT implementation been checked over? Looking at the code, it looks like the Mandelbrot algorithm has a version-switcher, so does

I've always wondered why HN doesn't have an OP indicator. A blue name ( similar to the green name for new accounts ) or an asterisk, just something subtle, would do. Perhaps they don't want to mark out the OP as "special

They've managed to mess up sharepoint even worse lately. I went there to try to find where company meetings got recorded to. I went to my sharepoint bookmark, which weirdly is www.office.com after some previous nightmare rebrand. Excep

In this case the featre isn't unnecessary and would serve a useful purpose if it were just a query. I wouldn't object to AI writing that feature to get it out quickly. I'm not anti-AI entirely. However, someone has taken a us

MY annoyance is when AI is used instead of better machines. I just logged onto github and saw a "My open pull requests button". Instead of taking me to a page which quickly queried a database, it opened a conversation with copilot

Thanks for showing these. We can see Firefox matches the same style of accurate but unhelpful error message. Chromium is much more helpful in the error message, directing the user to both line 19 and 22. It also made the user-friendly choic

That's how you turn 2fa into single factor authentication ( The ID ). GitHub is such a large attack vector for the whole planet, that I understand their stance. GitHub support a "recovery code" more secure than government ID.

You might be online too much if you don't consider something that happened yesterday to be news. An attitude of "Hook me up to the novelty juice, this is old weak sauce", is a sign of internet / news addiction.
