How about switching from VS Code to VS Codium? Same experience without the microsoft telemetry. I suppose Copilot won't be included due to licensing constraints.

Good question. In general charts are not accessible because visually impaired users cannot use a mouse. You would need an interacting charting library that works with a keyboard and that is readable by a screen reader.

I believe that would result in non accessible content, I believe screen readers cannot properly assist impaired users with SVG content. As such I think it's not a good idea for a document that should have a large audience.

I am more interested in how MCP can change human interaction with software. Practical example: there exists an MCP server for Jira. Connect that MCP server to e.g. Claude and then you can write prompts like this: "Produce a release no

I think the design is bad: my girlfriend would never wear it. Maybe they know already and that's why the webpage contains only picture of male hands. Given the many smartwatches on the market which can do so much more, are lightweight

I agree, that is what I meant: there were people who installed Contrib to have <if> element, but in reality you did not need that you could just use Ant's built-in features like you said. In my opinion installing Contrib to use &

Here is an American example, Fox suspensions. Fox is one of the main producers of bicycle suspensions. Great products, but check their service intervals for a fork [0], 125 hours. Now if you practice mountainbike you may ride your bike 1 to

Ant did not include IF THEN ELSE, unless you added the contrib package. If you understood the paradigm, you could write branches in Ant files simply using properties and guards on properties ("unless"). Using IF in Ant was basical

I passed the PDF to Claude and asked it to check if there is any part of the document that states that google deprioritizes good search results in favor of advertisement. Here is the output from Claude: Yes, the document contains highly sig

While I understand the reasons behind this campaign, I have mixed feelings about it. As an iPhone user, I find it frustrating that deploying my own app on my own device requires either reinstalling it every 7 days or paying $100 annually. A

It's a nice effect, but I don't think it's usable in practice, because it's not accessible for visually impaired users: not enough contrast between foreground text and background

I am still on an x86 Mac. When Docker Desktop changed licensing I tried to switch to Podman and it was a disaster, Podman was brand new and despite many blog posts that claimed it was the perfect replacement it did not work for me, and I ha

How about using something like Apache Tika for extracting text from multiple documents? It's a subproject of Lucene and consists of a proxy parser + delegates for a number of document formats. If a document, e.g. PDF, comes from a scan

I believe most vector databases allow you to annotate vectors with additional metadata. Why not simply add as metadata the list of principals (roles/groups) who have access to the information (e.g. HR, executives) ? Then when a user ma

The "brew info" command provides some information, so it would be great if the tool provided a button to fetch the "brew info" output on demand and if it provided a direct link to the homepage as opposed to having to per

Nice tool, however it would be great if it could display some description and license information and/or whether the app is a trial version that eventually requires a purchase. Otherwise as a user you end up clicking on the info icon t

To me (as a Java programmer) inheritance is very useful to reuse code and avoid copy paste. There many cases in which decorators or template methods are very useful and in general I find it "natural" in the sense that the concepts

As a Firefox user who is worried about he current browser landscape, I already donated to Mozilla in the past. However as many others pointed out, there is no way to ensure that the donated amount is used specifically to fund Firefox.

While I learned programming with 6510, I agree that 68000 instruction set was much nicer and easier to read and learn. I would also chose 68000. This said, 65XX on an early Commodore computers was extremely rewarding to use because there wa

We should aim at better drivers rather than better intersections, but bad drivers are everywhere. Years ago I worked in a building on the side of a long straight road. The road ended with a blind curve to the right and 100m before the blind

At the time of OS/2 vs NT, NT needed a huge amount of ram to work, while OS/2, even though more greedy than Windows 3 or Windows 9.5 was still cheaper. The system was very good, stable, snappy. The main issue was the lack of softw
