Kinda stopped me in my tracks a bit. Nice to see him and his contributions noted, as I'm going to guess that they were more significant than the task in the photo.

I laughed. Then I laughed at the sound effects. Then I laughed at what happened when I left the tab open in the background.

I agree, plus the added abrasion from passkeys being implemented inconsistently and seemingly in a way that promotes vendor lock-in. Do I need a different passkey for my iPhone and an android tablet? Do I need a different passkey between iO

TBH, that pretty much sounds like dating before the big apps, just distilled down even further.

It feels like a competition to own a comparatively narrow market (if we're talking about VR). And, within that context, it may indeed be a good idea. But I just cannot see VR headsets being anything approaching common, primarily becaus

If the successful commercial product is based on the research of someone else, why does building a commercial product that succeeds entitle you to the innovations of others? I tend to favor liberalizing intellectual property, but your lens

Same. I almost never use the browser in the first place. I think I’d say the same thing you did but changing the focus to: I love that the b&w boox has made me understand that a low tech device serves my most important needs.

Btw, I started out using it with KOreader but have ended up just using the built-in reader because it does everything I need. The smaller Boox devices are great too, but their USB plug placement decisions are sometimes VERY WEIRD (my Note A

I have a Boox note. I can’t help the feeling that it’s not entirely legit, but it’s Android, connects to any service I want (including a Calibre library), has a great display, is great for notes, and is all around fantastic. It’s not a tabl

I appreciate your experience and perspective, but it is simply not mine. If anything, I've gotten the impression that it's somewhat easier for the subordinate having a level of "abstraction" in the form of email/Tea

I’ve had (and honored) plenty of those types of conversations with subordinates I’ve never met in person in any of a number of global offices. Physical presence isn’t a prerequisite for being a good boss or worker.

I feel like, very generally speaking, the quality of software (meaning the efficiency, security, and such) has gone way up. It’s a wide range though, with some pretty extreme cases in both directions. The issue I have is what developers are

I just want to get all the people communicating "special offers"-type arrangements in a room and tell them their messaging sounds unbelievably creepy. Anyhoo, other than privacy concerns, my issue with this is a scenario like buyi

You know what drives me not to be involved? Knowing that buying a mug from a candidate I like virtually guarantees a torrent of emails from every downticket race in markets I’ve never lived in. And because of the way they set up the lists,

This isn’t meant to respond directly to your statement because I’ve seen the same thing. BUT one fascinating thing I’ve learned is how scale plays into things. That $50 million project may be a Senior Director’s most important, career-makin

My experience in very large organizations is that, other than CEOs who can go either way, the very top levels are extremely bright, surprisingly well-adjusted people. Tensions arise because, from the perspective of the senior leaders, VPs a

I just used this: https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon/blob/main/do... I used one of their releases rather than building my own image. It’s a guide that merits careful reading, as some key ste

Writing to you from NixOS on an M2 Air. Aside from a handful of missing packages that aren't available for the architecture, it's shockingly good. My battery is reporting 19 hours remaining, and "setup" took about 20 min

It’s like spotting a beautiful unicorn! I should boost expertsexchange.com in my kagi search results just for the joy.

I’ve spent money on things because I had to, I’ve spent money because I wanted to. I have rarely spent money on something because the idea just sounded good and been so consistently pleased with what I received for my investment. It’s not f

Yes, they’re native in Edge and superior to any of the extension-based implementations in Firefox (and FF has no native vertical tabs). Floorp is a pretty good FF fork that has better vertical tabs, but they’re still not as clean and stable

by flkiwi 3y ago
I have tried, oh how I've tried. But the vertical tab options on Firefox are just not very good compared to the disappointingly elegant Edge implementation (with something either identical or very similar used by Brave). And, for me, w

Interesting. I need to dig into this because this looks like a good solution to my editing dilemma. Thank you for the work, and for the response.

Is there a way to configure this with media colocated with posts (i.e., not in a /media folder but in/a/post/subfolder/image.png)?

I’m a big fan of this project. A native, GUI, fast code editor is a welcome change from what VSC does to my laptop’s battery. Unfortunately, I have to step away from it while I figure out a potential data corruption issue. While editing a c

We'll see how short-term thinking works out for them in a decade. "Rich but irrelevant" isn't a good place to end up. But at least shareholders in 2024 got a percentage more in gains.

My experience on Bluesky was: 1. A direct port of the ragescrolling, today's-main-character culture of twitter 2. Complaining about mastodon and linux on a premise I haven't been able to tease out but appears to relate to open pro

I tried to create a curated feed on Bluesky. It didn't go well. It interpreted my unambiguous keyword in the technology space as applying to content in the uh personal massage space. Much, much prefer Mastodon's direct hashtag fol
