In a broader context, it’s actually a bit of an oddity that computers had this brief moment of hackability. You can probably turn an old washing machine into a lathe, but it would be crazy for its manufacturer to even acknowledge this idea.

It needs a single consumer to be that simple.

Isn't this a bit revisionist? I started to become interested in programming around late 90s and I don't remember anyone floating the idea that OOP, libraries or IDEs will make programming obsolete as a profession. If anything, pre

> rush to get the next version of macOS out of the door That’s the key I think. Apple these days never releases when products are ready, but on a predefined schedule. Point releases that should fix things, are actually delivering more fe

Meshtastic is multi-hop, doesn’t require a license and is encrypted by default. It’s also a toy network, really. Reliability doesn’t seem to be high on the priority list.

There’s a sense of order and tidiness in running Nix on multiple machines with diverse uses and hardware, all based on single configuration, that’s difficult to let go off once you’ve tried it. It’s basically an elegant weapon, for a more c

I’ve recently moved between two other steamos-like distros and it’s such a non-event. You just log into Steam, pair controllers and download the games. Your saves are managed for you.

Work in smaller chunks. 3000 lines of code is horrible to review, regardless if it’s human- or computer-made. Structure the tasks in a way that will enable the agent will to verify and iterate by itself.

Yes, it's even worse when you're diagnosing a child, as you will have to answer these questions for them, which puts your parental expectations into the mix. In the end however, people get diagnosed, get medication and start to fe

Not trying to get good is a liberating step. I never was and never will be good at music, but it’s still fun to play loud punk-ish tunes on a guitar, or twiddle the knobs on a faux-303, none of which requires years of your life.

Note that there’s no secret sauce regarding Steam Machines. Once you put Bazzite, ChimeraOS or Jovian Nix on your PC, it can provide a great couch experience.

AirPods can connect to any device and perform on par with other Bluetooth headphones. This is about availability of special features which require a dedicated driver non-Apple devices are not expected to have.

If you still have the xbox controller, I'd recommend the dedicated USB wireless adapter. It's reasonably priced and very solid.

Isn't statistical analysis a legitimate tool for helping diagnosis since forever? It's not exactly surprising that a pattern matcher does reasonably well at matching symptoms to diseases.

In what sense? Does an American bolt factory produce 10x as much bots per worker, or is the American bolt just 10x more expensive?

If he's not able to also provide them with a sizeable initial capital, this lesson is also completely irrelevant. No one becomes really wealthy by investing savings off their modest salary.

The simple way would be to not "manage" your finances, don't build an investment portfolio. Have an honest work, live happily within your means and save whatever's left in cash.

Apple does not require it, although in case of iOS, having one for AppStore is the only way of installing apps.

So many questions to be asked, I don't know where to start. What's the upside of bunching up all the servers into a single megastructure rather than separate satellites?

That option is either not explained well, or not what OP was really asking for. It doesn't specify what's the default behaviour for extensions that are neither explicitly enabled, nor disabled. It also doesn't say how to disa

I updated a 13 mini and it stared off really, really slow for about a day, when background processing happens I assume. But then it got to similar speed as before, however jankier, as usual with iOS 26. That being said, it’s a unit with ove
