I've never found the tablet form factor compelling. A bit too heavy and cumbersome, I'd rather a phone for holding or something that stands by itself, and then it may as well have a keyboard and be a laptop. My kids seem to agree

I didn't understand the story, it left too much unexplained. Why was a Snr Eng II I'm a leadership role and what did that even mean in context? Technical lead? Team lead? Something was being rolled out to 3 countries a week then s

You're not crazy, I recall a similar story too.

We still pay for the connection itself, which seems more on par with the historical examples. The internet has just removed needing to pay to connect to a particularly endpoint, you connect to it and then you've already paid your fee t

Extra conditions like this mean that the path we took would be rarer but doesn't necessarily make life any more rare. There could be plenty of other pathways to a stable carbon cycle. Or it might not even be a prerequisite, you could i

Because someone posted it and others upvoted the post. I know that's stating the obvious but that's the reason and there doesn't need to be any other.

I take issue with your use of the word "perfectly". I've tried their products many times (and even won a personal licence a few years ago). They are far from perfect. If they afford you a productivity gain then all power to y

Smeg. Yes it was expensive. We talked to a chef/restaurant owner and she recommended them for the oven part as it's a freestanding hob+oven unit.

I've never had a choice until very recently when we redid the kitchen in our first owned house. Went with induction. It's really great, best of both worlds. We got one with proper knobs rather than the stupid touch controls many h

While I agree I'm not that keen on the rewrite in rust as an advert, there can be good reason to do so. A higher degree of memory safety is desirable for all those little tools. > Why should I use Rust instead of C++? You don't

However, they didn't pass a law shutting it down, they passed a law about location of ownership. Therefore it is still the company making the choice to shutdown vs selling, moving, or taking another action to comply.

I wrote a hammerspoon script that moves my windows and the dock when I plug in to monitors. That's free, I agree we shouldn't have to have such a complex solution though. But I would bet that if Apple did provide a built in soluti

Not really, I would guess more of a personal workflow. I just have the same set of apps open the whole time, regardless of OS. Browser, test browser, code editor, terminal, chat, music player. That's enough windows to cause placement i

Well, damn. I put effort into making a thing that could be tried out by anonymous users but still had RLS policies and now they've provided a solution that would have made the whole thing heaps easier.

I'd say it's because it's not obvious in the languages we use what is and is not an atomic operation. Different languages do provide different levels of protection by default as well, making it even harder to know what is and

I wonder if this applies to me. I never learnt navigation skills but I have a very good sense of direction and I'm also very quick to motion sickness in games and on boats. I actually consider it to be slightly dangerous that I'm

Well yeah, we've added a bunch of energy to the sea and atmosphere. The problem is it's hard to make the specific second/third/fourth order connections between that extra energy and changing currents, rather than just wa

Chezmoi is great, and very fully featured. But this is one of those itches we're doomed to see reinvented constantly, in every language that is the favourite of the author, with ever so minor variations.

People aren't always as money motivated as that. The founder of Kagi is pretty intent on making it work well. And given the way they're raising I don't think money is the pure driver, but making the business sustainable. I wo

Yes we do, but there are things we can talk about with certainty and things we can talk about with probabilities. I'll certainly get older and die. But AI won't certainly take all coding jobs. It's highly likely to change all

You're making a lot of assumptions and predictions there. Not to say that you're wrong, but we don't yet know if you're right. My opinion is that we're seeing the shape of the limitations of these LLMs. I use them a
