It depends what you do outside. Historically shoes/boots/foot wraps were to protect your feet from the cold and from sharp things e.g. rocks, stones, spiky plants, spiders, snakes, ticks etc etc. Surely some of these conditions wo

Generally speaking most dedicated PDF readers haven't implemented the nastier parts of the PDF spec that need a sandbox. Except adobe. They support everything because they wrote it. But they keep making it worse so I can't recomme

I haven't really tried sixel yet but I run wezterm as a daily driver and it is very convenient to be able to view images in the command line. e.g ls the directory and then run img foo.jpg on the images in the directory without needing

disturbingly, when I was using antigravity with gemini pro it was actually quite good at working out 'why app slow' types of problems. Maybe I've been lucky but it seems really good at determining why something might be wrong

Yep, if AI could do it so could out-sourcing it to India. AI is great for "almost" but not great at "exact"

"While remaining a going concern." Well, tough. Maybe they should have to find a way. If that means requiring everybody to have to pay to afford the moderators then so be it. All the other companies would have to as well.

I'm not a sociopath but I believe the concept of tipping to be terrible. Everything should be in the price. up front. what's advertised should be what leaves your account. If you get bad service, don't use them again or leave

Cut and Paste isn't broken, Copy is broken (in windows). My muscle memory for copying and pasting text is now: ctrl-c, ctrl-c, ctrl-c, ctrl-v.

uh, the webring idea is OLD. Not quite "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge" old but

I'm sure it just my personal preference but I hate animations. Most often they do little other than slow an application down i.e. the code of the application could finish the task almost instantaneously but for the sake of appearance,

Don't conflate hiit with crossfit. Crossfit is just one (although well known) type of hiit. There are many other type of hiit activities without the training style of crossfit.

Question about merging: How do you handle merging multiple pdf that have forms? Are the form fields renamed to prevent form field name clashes? And what pdf toolkit do you use?

No, you site sources for your response or retract your response. see how that works?

Yep. When I was in Kuwait, admittedly 20 years ago, there were a LOT of non-kuwaitis there as most manual labor jobs were done by foreign workers. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still the same today.

not harmful. why should women in action films need to be held to a higher standard the men? Hollywood's depiction of action movies in general is unrealistic. Stereotypical Good Guy gets in a fist fight with a Random Thug, and after tra

Exactly this. The telemetry stats will bubble up to some level of management and it will show, "after making the play key launch the music app more people are using it". That's it. Explanations won't fit on the slide de

Bit of a storm in a teacup. The article indicts that they knew it was likely to be a target and removed all personnel from it as it wasn't needed.

Just doing random evil things for no benefit? At this point it's just wanton vandalism. Punks in suits smashing windows and setting fire to cars. Can anyone here, hand of heart, say "I agree with this decision"?
