This is very much a tangent, but I think it's nearly certain that "segway" will end up overtaking "segue" as the predominant spelling for the word that is defined as: "to make a transition without interruption

Amusingly, my accounts closest (and mutual) match is from a person from the UK, and I'm a Kiwi/Australian. Though I speak and write kind of weirdly, very UK-like in some ways, and reading through that accounts comments we really

I wonder what bias I have that made me read the title and assume "Huh, must be way longer" then?

While I chafe at some of its decisions, you're still correct. It's the only thing really in that space that's fully featured enough.

Have you seen proof that this is what has been happening? Your explanation is much more convoluted than "DHS cut funding, like the administration has said it is going to do".

Not really, in my experience. There's still fundamental differences between designed systems and trained LLMs.

All my friends just use PayID/phone number or email instead of the bank deets. The big benefit is really Osko internally, which is what makes the payment instant (except for stupid CommBank)

I'm not convinced LLMs are the road towards Minds, and I'm pretty sure the Culture would think we're a bit of a mess (I'm pretty sure they literally did in one of the final books), but who knows maybe I'm wrong!

XApp is bad, but its still wayyyy better than Camera Remote at least haha. It's shocking how miserable their software is!

Fujifilm is no better haha, they're on their third (I think) mobile app this time for X-Series camera control, and it's still terrible.' Amusingly, their Instax control app is actually pretty good!

Ah yes, because college campuses and the literal federal administration have the same level of power. Absolute tosh.

I didn't see any "online outrage" from Brian here, just a sadly sober listing of all the direct attacks on the first amendment, with sources and explanation. Heck, it's not even political despite the screeching to the co

Having worked with amazing HCI experts over the years, you've hit the nail on the head. It's wild how much design is done for designs sake at my work, with nary a nod to HCI given. The a11y team try to patch over it as best as pos

That was the bigger problem, IMO, in that even once PDO existed and the MySQL extension was "fixed" to have prepared statements, so much of the documentation still did it wrong. And yet similar classes of bugs still pops up toda

That reminds me of all the SQL injection vulns that we used to blame on PHP. As PHP becomes less popular, and the same/similar vulnerabilities remain, I realise it's more just bad practices (though ~2000-early 2010s PHP really was
