Note that Windows now has an official package manager called WinGet ( https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli ), which worked very well when I tried it a few months ago; Skype and OneDrive can now be uninstalled without

It's too bad, because it could be a set-it-and-forget-it solution if it were more reliable. I gave up and wrote a Python script that calls Borg Backup. At least it's more customisable.

In Python’s type annotation system, “class T or None” is represented by “typing.Optional[T]”. I think C++ has something similar for STL containers. Even numpy has NaN values. So your usage still fits some reasonable definition of homogeneou

When I clear history from the Settings app, it closes all tabs (at least it did when I tried a few months ago). When I clear from Safari itself, it doesn't close tabs. Maybe you did the latter?

Our prod desktops use critical Windows-only software, so we have to use Windows too.

Performance is probably correlated with good governance, so that has a high risk of wasting money on a company that's unable to spend it efficiently. It even gives their leaders a break from having to improve efficiency, because the po

Seems that all schools added a "data science" specialization a few years ago, but of course they can't suddenly become good at it if they haven't done it before. My master in a no-name French tech school was mostly a sof

I rented a VPS from the French website (their native language), and it was confusing. I remember looping through the same 2 pages 10 times before actually finding the instance's access instructions. Of course, you don't have to ca

That calculation would probably be wrong anyway, unless you have a lot of practical experience with emergency braking. I constantly underestimate my reaction times.

My XPS' thermals are a disaster. After 5 minutes of any remotely intensive game, the UI became a slideshow, unusable even for basic browsing for a few minutes after closing the game. I hope they improved in 2019, mine was only from a y

Well you can audit the code that generates spreadsheets, which seems to solve the audit problem. Kind of like I prefer reading a Dockerfile that builds a program from the GitHub repo, rather than downloading a pre-compiled package I can&#x2

Good idea but bad example. Something needs to fulfill a heart's role, but we can live without an appendix just fine.

The hidden close button is so dumb. Why make it so small and make it hide if I go 5 pixels away from the notification?

So Private Relay is available on both iOS and macOS stable releases now. Have there been expert opinions about how private this is? I understand they built a Tor-light, by hopping through one Apple server, then one external server, with som

On the one hand, that makes sense; on the other, it would still be the first use of nuclear weapons since WW2. The last close calls, like Cuba, didn't even involve any bombing, just the threat of one power's blockade against anoth
