No, no, game show is probably right. It's a game show where the contestants are poor and the prize is basic necessities. Staged for the entertainment (and ad revinue) of the less-poor because it makes a number go up slightly in one of

Maybe it's better to say that law is meant to be interpreted . Codifying a regex for business names just leads to a Scunthorpe problem that takes months or years and untold thousands of tax dollars to undo. Just saying "a person

The Material redesign makes a lot more sense now. I still think it's a terrible decision and a huge waste of resources though. Making Rider free to try is the correct strategy for them. Obviously they want to compete directly with VSCo

Except in this case, Jetbrains lets you turn telemetry off and it stays off. Mandating telemetry for the free version makes a lot of sense. They want to understand how people are using their software so they can improve it. Looking at how

I think I've only installed five plugins ever in Jetbrains. All for totally reasonable things like embedded development and debugging. There's no real need for any plugins because everything I need for my workflows is included out

It has plugins that integrate with Godot and unity. Otherwise it's just a regular IDE. It also includes a WISYWIG editor for WPF apps if you care about that. Like VS, Rider will also do C++. In fact, CLion (their purpose built C++ IDE)

"Modern" and "beautiful" are major red flag words in our current software dystopia. It always means "we ripped off VSCode and removed 90% of the functionality you want"

For public consumption, yeah I think it's reasonable to censor the most egregious stuff, but for private use there's really no point. If people want something, they will always find a way to get it. 100% of the time. There is ab

Google knows what you search, even in "incognito" mode, and even when you're logged out. They correlate your IP address with your search profile and use everything you search for in your ad profile. Kagi does not track search

Jetbrains. Well, up until recently. Now I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a cheap copy of VSCode and I'm really not sure why I shouldn't just use the free version.

Kagi is just a search engine. You're paying to access their index. There is no advertisement of any kind and Kagi has no relation to any site in their index. This is like being miffed that Yellowpages doesn't pay businesses to lis

You either pay a flat fee, or you have to deal with the added baggage of considering that each search costs you a very real half a cent or whatever. Would you use your search engine more if every search query were an implicit microtransacti

The analogy is getting a bit tortured, so I'll try a more practical explanation. An AM receiver is a machine that senses the amplitude at a specific em frequency. In this situation, noise and interference become random additions or sub

Just look at the instruction set for your particular CPU. Every CPU is different, but in most architectures I've seen, floating point operations are 2-3 times slower for the same word size. Single float adds are usually 2 or 3 CPU cycl
