You can reenable S3 support on many thinkpads, it's in the bios they call it "Linux sleep".

Your version of history is bizarre. Firefox was the one that stole the market from IE. Chrome saved us from a (at the time) very sluggish Firefox.

You seem confused about what .d.ts files are. They are type definitions to make using JavaScript code in typescript nicer. They're not regular typescript code. Just think if you had to take a big JavaScript library, say the size and le

For the most part, Windows doesn't achieve fractional/integer scaling by doing gpu-accelerated bitmap scaling. On Windows and MacOS and iOS and Android the GUI toolkits are aware of the scaling factor and draw themselves appropria

All good points but you were likely asked for encryption during setup, you just didn't notice (it's at the partition step). You are correct that it's impossible to do after the fact whilst the system is live. LUKS is also not

Firefox always referred to its user interface as the chrome (hence userchrome.css) and Google engineers decided that it should be funny to name their browser that.

"In theory" being the key word here. For whatever reason, it's a pita to use raw images with both virtualbox and VMware. You have to resort to third party command line tools to convert the image (qemu-img).

Python is pretty messy to deploy without a container. Sure you can (and should!) use a virtual env, but by that point using docker isn't much more efforts. Rails and Node and PHP have at least the decency to have the project's dep

.Net only recently added support for it and it's very brittle. Rust is indeed in the same league as Go, I guess the difference is that Go is batteries included when it comes to web development. You don't have to pull many dependen

I'm going to make a wild guess that you use macosx and that 150GiB isn't usage but addressed space. Macs are notorious for returning nonsense memory figures with some applications.

There is likely an element of sociopathy involved as it requires a particular lack of empathy towards secondary victims. But the same can be said for most career criminals, and most crimes do indeed stop when you remove the profit motivatio

Ah yes, this is so much more user friendly than the redesign!

It specifically says that it will run in-service, I can't imagine that it would do such resource heavy task without user action.

Oh, you're former tech support? That makes so much more sense that you or your colleagues would accept such small amount of money for these favors, then. Most of the comments in this thread are likely from the perspective of developers

Hehe, you've learned well the SV way of doing things. After all, your former employer is the one who coined "move fast and break things".

I'm glad you enjoy anime girls but surely you can see why it's different than a project's logo? One is directly related to the project, the other isn't. It's not even contextually related.

1. The ISS drags into Earth's atmosphere, anything happening there is earthly. 20,000km further you'd have a point. 2. That's your own interpretation of the word. The actual definition of extraterrestrial life is life that di

You're being a revisionist. The claim that it wasn't popular is just dumb. For years it was simply superior to all other browsers (both technologically and users liking it).

It also doesn't control for people who would not have died had vaccines not been a thing. What if Jim Jones had died of tuberculosis before creating Jonestown? So many lives extinguished because he was vaccinated.
