The solution there is to make your commit history clean by rebasing it. I often end my day with a “partial changes done” commit and then the next day I’ll rebase it into several commits, or merge some of the changes into earlier commits. Ev

A lot of them are controllable from mobile devices through apps that could have new code remotely deployed to them - for example https://www.dji.com/downloads/djiapp/dji-go-4 . The apps are mostly for controlling t

At least theoretically, there could be code in the China-made drones that allows them to be taken over in the event of a war between China and the US. In practice, this is probably just protectionist.

It probably depends on the corporations. If a merger would result in all of the union’s employees being laid off, of course the union would fight it.

I know some web developers think that that’s true, but looking at the average people I know, they tend to want different settings depending on the site. People don’t generally want computer-wide settings for darkmode.

I don't think there is such a time. As long as writing has existed it has privileged the viewpoints of those who could write, which was a very small percentage of the population for most of history. But if we want to know what life was

Given that Americans with and without college degrees are split pretty much 50/50, then we’d expect there to be an equal increase in non-college degrees holder mortality rates if this was caused by changing who got degrees. I suppose i

Browsers already support JavaScript anyway, so why not add another Turing-complete language into the mix? (Not even accounting for CSS technically being Turing-complete, or WASM, or …)

The financiers are running out of money to lend. At this point, staying negative profit isn’t an option, they need to be able to fund themselves or they’ll go bankrupt.

The iPhone 17 (released in September) is selling extremely well, and Apple sales tend to be concentrated in Q4 due to the new phone (and the holidays, though those should also affect Samsung).

In practice, there was not a Hitler estate - the government of Bavaria (a state in Germany) took ownership of the copyright.

You’re warning people to be cautious of taking Vitamin D… because you had problems with potassium supplements? Those are entirely different things with entirely different risk profiles.

I had a notable experience at a church sometime during COVID, where I was wearing an N95 mask. The church’s incense could be smelt partially through the mask, and the scent that made it through was much worse than the combined scent that yo

It would be difficult, but it would at least be possible. See projects like Asahi Linux where they did the work to reverse engineer the drivers for ARM-based Macs.

At least in most areas of the US, selling food is illegal without various inspections, a clean commercial kitchen, and so on. There are usually exceptions for homemade baked goods and prepackaged goods, but nothing that would apply here.

Arbitrage between McDonalds burgers doesn’t really work. It’s not a meaningful open market - someone paying $1/burger can’t go in and buy 100 burgers and sell them to someone else for $3. For one reason, it’s illegal. For another, no o

I think you’re talking about a different thing? The bad practice from AWS et al is that you post-pay for your usage, so usage can be any amount. With all the AI things I’ve seen, either: - you prepay a fixed amount (“$200/mo for ChatG
