It's interesting you mention electronics... Just this week I called out a mobile mechanic from our state automobile club here in Australia, to replace the battery in my old 911. He was really nice bloke, older guy, and we got chatting

Agreed - the hand writing recognition was fine, especially in later versions! I worked at Apple UK at the time, and for a while did Newton Support! I loved those devices! They were so capable. They had IR built in, and you could send files

You could probably just chuck those class names in declaration anyway, even they werent attached to any styles! Of course, having well considered structured semantic works very well! For instance, with images, you can use attached caption m

That sounds about right! I recently began developing with Flutter for a project. And whilst I dont love Flutter/Dart that much, I must admit that Google have done an amazing job of proving resources and documentation for the frameworks

The issue with that approach is the same one that destroyed the trust in meta keywords! The lack of trust means a search engine needs to know if what it's being presented in metadata is actually what's being served to the browser!

Tack on question: Is it easy enough to boot directly into Linux on older Macs?

It's not Vista bad! LOL Stage Manager is a disaster though! Like, really horrible as a desktop macOS feature IMHO. I feel like Apple are trying to shoehorn bad iPad features into macOS to unify them. Instead of making iPadOS more like

It's a bit of big claim to say that Steve Troughton-Smith has no idea what he is talking about. He's not just 'this guy'. STS deserves more respect and credit for his opinions than that. Others may not agree with him, bu

We are in a similar situation! To help with this, we had a second Tesla battery installed! Although, sadly, in South Australia, Electricity is charge at a flat rate, day or night!

Yes, it makes a difference in network requests. It only needs to get the file from the Internet once, but the browser still has to load the file and work with it on each page load! :-) How that is handled exactly... I don't know LOL :-

Loaded from the Internet once. So it's cached, but the browser still needs to access and load the file! :)

It’s other components too… In the UK and elsewhere they put Salt on the roads during winter! Which gets into everything from the underside of the car and slowly destroys things! YMMV :-)

Sleep deprivation is effective too! But you dont see it in movies as I guess it's just really boring LOL Although Ozark did it well - sticking Jason Bateman in a hole in mexico and blasting loud music at him!

Like I said to my therapist last week; they hire you for your skill and creativity, then want you to sit in a box and do as you are told. Or somehow magically know what to do and say. If you say to little, you are not engaging with the team

If only that were true! In reality it just isnt! It's the 'thin end of the wedge' as they say in England! Or, in HN language, it's Scope Creep. You could try and claim that Scope Creep is a fallacy, because all you have
