Selling it to anyone will be difficult. Way too much legacy, and lost context. It would be a quagmire of inertia to shift anything. As with most tech "giants"/"unicorns" that are past their zenith. Most likely any b

I only found out my bandwidth after putting cloudflare infront of my apps as they email a monthly bandwidth saved report.

I was also unsure if that was just opinion of the core maintainer or a collective of committers. Again a "they" would have fine :) .

I think that is changing. In certain countries the alternative networks are now comparable. And I think this is also to increase their own revenue. If it affects the availability for their own cars they can just ramp up the non-Tesla prices

I've run Gnome+Wayland at 125% on a 32" 4k screen for over a year and noticed no issues. But that is just a sample size of 1. But a 1080p screen would be a no for me. At 2256x1504 on 13.5" screen I think Framework laptop woul

I hate hedges. Selfishly. It is great for animals and birds, probably good for farmers, but suck for people. I live in South England, in Hampshire, in the South Downs, which is full of undulated countryside full of fields with hedges. It is

PopOS! Gnome & Wayland. Native Zoom works very well. Never crashes. And finally has virtual backgrounds. Only issue is Firefox windows are invisible when screen sharing, so I use Chromium for those sessions if I need to show a browser.

There is also "about:profiles". Granted not pretty like Chrome profiles but it is there. For me, one profile with "Temporary Containers" and "Multi-Account Containers" works well enough.

I am a contractor/consultant, and I do occasionally consider going back to permanent employment. What stops me every time is the dread of returning to just 25 days off. I don't do much dynamic hours like above as I work with/

Subtleties are also difficult. If an English person say what you did was great, it most likely wasn't. And if they say it was not bad, it may have been great...

In Norway the office is desolate after 13:00 on a Friday. Only the youngest and the ones without children stick around till 16:00, and not many of them either.

It probably is still the most used framework, probably by quite a margin. Whilst I mostly use Http4s these days I would guess the majority of new projects still pick Play. I would say 60% but would not be surprised if the actual number is 9

It's a clickbait title, but he does also address the benefits of pairing. He does highlight the importance of not always pairing. He does not say not to pair. I think what would alleviate most of his issues is having frequent breaks. 1

I see what you mean, but that is not always going to be a good idea as electric cars is more than a change of motor. Much more aerodynamic, lighter, different frames for lower centre of gravity, different controls, dashboards, etc. (I am no

I saw something different from the other gender, still hairy. Though now I can't stop seeing the testicles. How did this pass any UX testing?

Yup, this has happened over and over again throughout history. More recently with Stalin, with Han Chinese, in the Balkans, etc. But also in Medieval times and many centuries before. E.g when Sweden gained control over Scania (Southern tip
