You could share your thoughts or (positive) feelings about one of those design decisions that cause discontent: putting confirmation buttons and other UI controls on the title bar, when the natural human way of processing visual information

A couple humorous takes on this: I swear that my initial reading of the title was "74 Decades Later", and I smiled because it fitted the feeling of how late this addition is arriving. Then I realized it'd be a bit strange tha

Last time I looked into Mastodon (a couple years ago), I found a small, specific community that piqued my interest. Months later, the owner of the instance lost interest and closed it. In the end I never registered, but, what would have hap

The thing is, most software nowadays is expected to integrate well with the outside world. A simple calculator or a full-fledged photo editor can and probably should run in its own bubble isolated from the world, so a single full-value pr

As has been said, this happens because of cutting on the closest keyframe, which is the only point where the cut can be done losslessly. This is how it's been done traditionally, since basically forever as far as I can remember. To be

Can the mouse scroll speed be configured in KDE, nowadays? I'm flabbergasted that this is a question that should even be asked. Linux Desktop is so advanced and at the same time so lacking in stupidly simple matters such as this one, b

I like starting from a clean slate and having only the output from last run of my program, so that's why the clearing screen step. Then, the copy-paste is not done always, but it's done a lot when analyzing logs or debugging some

This is my single most repeated action on a normal terminal window: * Clear and discard all scrollback history: Ctrl+Shift+K * Start a program run * Select all output: Ctrl+Shift+A * Copy it: Ctrl+Shift+C * Paste it somewhere else A total o

Oh well, I almost got to play Another World :-) (I recently finished it on PC so it was the first thing to catch my eye). Didn't work, either on Firefox or Chrome ( memory access out of bounds at void powerpc_cpu::execute_loadstore )

That's the same brand I bought, after the last similar thread on HN which led me to get interested in this topic. I had never monitored CO2 at home, and now I see that it routinely goes beyond 1500 in the living room. I can open window

The page about Bluetooth LE [1] shows a video [2] which is part of an article about hacking of a BT lock, but the link [3] is broken and doesn't work. It is readable in the web archive [4], but the archive has lots of broken images. It

Why does it depend on each independent company, instead of just stating it by law? I mean, it seems that everybody across all industries should enjoy the same minimum sick days, not letting companies decide below that, because otherwise som

Very tangentially related, on the front of "stupidly useful features that nobody seems to think seriously about": The fantastic Citymapper app shows a HUGE "Get Me Home" button if you open it past 3am. Just brilliant.

The definition of OSS doesn't force you to bring someone into your house, but it does very clearly forbid you from keeping them outside.

But then don't try to keep those Entitled $BigCorps out of the way, because the definition of OSS was clearly and strictly written to keep them in, otherwise you're straying out of the golden path and your software is not technica

USB-C would be a nice looking single-argument function... but parameterized with every possible generic template meta-programming feature in the language.

You are right, but in essence this is Youtube's platforms, so they can tune the experience of their paying users. If I pay, I shouldn't see ads. Videos don't have nipples around, or else they would get flagged, right? Do the

This is Youtube's fault, as they could (should) require video creators to identify the start and end timestamps of sponsor segments, and then their player should just skip those automatically for logged-in, paying subscribers.

That's like saying that words are trivial to write, so books have no value. While it's trivial to write an "if", it's not trivial to know how to write a lot of "ifs" to make an IA that people find useful.
