I used to get hung up on this native vs web thing. But when it comes down to it, it's just one renderer or another unless you're actually drawing the controls yourself pixel by pixel. The sticking point is following the system sty

For real instant: install a hot water tap. It has a small boiler under the sink that keeps the water at near boiling. I've got one and it's great - instant tea any time.

I think that AI isn't the only thing exacerbating this issue. More people are doing artistic like things as hobbies. The internet makes it easier to learn and the cost of entry has gone down - paints, canvases, brushes, guitars, pianos

Although I'm not a huge proponent of nuclear power over renewables, I'm not sure the overruns in those projects are a good argument. These projects become hard to cost and understand up front because so few are built. If the UK bu

I watched it twice, which is pretty unheard of for me. I thought the book was fine but not a favourite. And it's not like it was the best movie ever, but I did feel like it was the best self contained scifi film I've seen in at le

I really like this model of the universe and it's quite a freeing thing to believe in. I already did not believe in free will and thought that things were mostly deterministic. One doesn't need to go mad or descend into apathy whi

I'm not sure it does have an extra layer. Reading through the design, it's quite possible the number of layers is the same or less. It might translate win32 calls to Linux libraries and system calls, but on Windows pretty much the

Looks pretty nice. I think a lot of devs have been making similar tools, I've written my own thing that does a work review loop. I like the interface you've made. I'll probably give it a go, but I'm also reluctant to rel

Is there a middle ground argument? Something along the lines of humans are horrible to one another unless there is a social state that provides reasonable protection, at which point we can afford to be nice?

Is that a bad thing? That's 10b that engineers and other employees now have and Facebook doesn't have. And while VR might never make them money, is it bad from our pov that they did the research and development?

I don't mind the higher price. The place near me is a small cinema and not a chain, the food is excellent and they bring it to your seat. And if you go during the week it's pretty quiet. I'm sure they make most of their money

That was the wrong word. Something about the UI for it feels quite constraining, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing once you're used to it, but at the start of using it I struggled to get what I felt was a broader view of how

I agree. The webkitgtk situation is pretty bad. I haven't had the same kind of problems as the author because I haven't used browser features as heavily, but the performance on Linux is really poor right now.

Not much IMO has changed. I set reduced transparency anyway and that removed the main issues. Some of the corners are overly rounded but that seems pretty minor. On the other hand, I'm glad people are making a lot of noise about it bec
