It's not fundamentally related to anything because the choice of color is completely arbitrary. There are no rules that relate color to any configuration of lines unless you choose to impose arbitrary rules.

I doubt you have a whole lot of control over this, but this website is misery to use on a phone. Browsing scripts gives you six or ten tiles per page, navigation buttons are only in the header. There are no page numbers or any indicatio

A good manager recognizes that a good 10x developer needs minimal management. Not that they don't need managing, but that too much management throws a wrench in the mental gears and drags them down, burns them out, and forces them to

Condescending to someone who speaks your language as a fourth language about their tone comes off as extremely rude and superior. A better way to write this would be: ""

Probably not, at least not significantly. AFAIK most people couldn't read, it was mainly the clergy and nobility as in most ancient civilizations. Egyptian culture persisted because Egypt persisted. The Nile provided immense prosperi

It's definitely a different feel, but not bad. It feels like using a particularly smooth ballpoint on some nice heavyweight stationery. I don't find it particularly noticeable or distracting, but I also don't do much handwrit

Why is it then that this concept only appears in Trek from before 2005 or so? The modern series barely show PADDs at all. No one uses them like this, and most things are holographic. This is not in any way a commentary on technology or ergo

"Lock-free" does not in any way imply a single process. Quite the opposite. We don't call single-thread code lock-free because all single-thread code is lock free by definition. You kind of can't use locks at all in

Uh, no. Have you ever been employed? Your job is what is laid out in your contract, period. You are paid to do that specific set of tasks and nothing else . "Other duties as required" be damned. Fixing the business is very explic

Notepad was and always had been a simple and light application for viewing raw text files. Text editing is secondary and justifiably quite limited. If you wanted a real text editor you used Wordpad. Microsoft has absolutely no concept of th

It could be a medical condition entirely unrelated to their mission. If it's unrelated, the astronaut deserves their privacy. If spaceflight made their condition worse in some unexpected way, that should probably be made public. Maybe

Part of it is technological advancement. It wasnt until the last 15 years or so that embedded processors became cheap and powerful enough to run a 3D printer at consumer prices. There's also the problem of 3D modeling and slicing. Agai

On a resource constrained system, you'd be limited in how big and complex the world can be. Now imagine factorio, but in multiplayer the world calculations are divided amongst clients so you get a bigger and more complex world when you

Part of it is that consoles are just PCs now. There is absolutely no excuse to not be backwards compatible in the current day. But by the same token, consumers are realizing that consoles are just a less useful version of a gaming PC. T

Sure, I run ollama with a therapist prompt, and I've found it incredibly helpful. First, it's a safe place where I can discuss anything. I once had a therapist shut me down so hard on a subject that I've never spoken of it ag

If and only if someone has spent the time to write optimizations for your specific platform. GCC for AVR is absolutely abysmal. It has essentially no optimizations and almost always emits assembly that is tens of times slower than handwritt

At work, we discovered that our product doesn't work with Windows 11 because Microsoft forcibly installed W11 on our demo machine the night prior. If you're curious, it's because the W11 Bluetooth stack is somehow even more b

I use Firefox forks with uBlock. Librewolf on desktop and Fennec on android. My husband uses an iPhone, so I run DNS level ad blocking on my OpenWRT router. Works pretty well most of the time

There would be less application spam if there were fewer spam job postings. Because only one in a hundred postings is real, we have to send out hundreds of applications before even getting a rejection. There's no way to tell if a pos

I think the problem is that that kind of work requires a good deal of developer resources for a long time. What company wants to pay upkeep on a shipped product? You could save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by shipping a rootkit t

Given how simple the computer is, I very much doubt it. If anything, it might have a very simple xor encryption or just a passphrase. If anyone were sufficently motivated, it probably would be trivial to snoop on the DSN transmissions and

I'd be very surprised if its exact position in the sky is not public information. Even if not, it should be fairly straightforward to compute its position from the initial flightplan. Once it escaped Jupiter its trajectory is just a

"Don't buy a smart TV" is stupid out of touch and tonedeaf advice. There are no non-smart TVs. You cannot buy one. Your only alternatives are to not buy a TV period, or go to great lengths to firewall your new smart TV. Yes
