I go back and forth on whether BBSes were better or AOL was better. I had great experiences on both in my formative years.

"Windows" actually is related to what it does. As you might already know, before Windows, you just had DOS, which was 100% full screen all the time. Then Windows came along an let you run DOS programs (and Windows programs, of cou

Simplifying their offerings for the sake of the model number doesn't make any sense. Simplifying their offerings for other reasons might make sense, but the companies themselves would be the best judge of whether or not it makes sense

This is ultimately about drawing moral lines, isn't it? In that case it wouldn't matter if it hurts their business or not.

I don't think I've seen much of what I'd call overt hostility. But there do seem to be a lot of firefox users commenting about not being able to use this. I don't think there'd be as many if the site wasn't say

"Gerbers" are indeed several individual files -- there's one for each layer of the PCB, such as front copper, front solder mask, front silkscreen, back copper, back solder mask, etc, etc. A zip library is precisely how other

Firefox allows saving and loading files from the local file system. This site just uses some method to do it that's only supported by Chrome/Edge. So it's a unnecessarily user-hostile design choice they made.

There are other ways for webpages to get file uploads than this particular JS API. I upload files via firefox every single business day as part of my job.

It's rarer than cases of movie titles being reused, so in the context of the article, it's more than adequate, since letterboxd's title-based movie lookup is stated to be a better system. For example, here's a non-exhaus

Oh yeah I can definitely remember all the books I've read. The only ones I've ever bought twice were ones I hadn't yet read but had sitting on my shelf for a while with the intention of reading sometime.

A simple search for books is an interesting problem because some it makes sense to find based on title alone, while it doesn't make sense for other books. Take To Kill A Mockingbird as an example... No matter what (English) edition of

In my experience this is very very rare. Rare enough that it's practically negligible.

I'm not the person you were asking but it's happened to me too, with physical books, not e-books. I don't know if I can explain how it happens. I'd say that me not knowing the exact content of my bookshelf is similar to

Regarding your issues with ISBNs in your personal library, I suspect you must either have had an issue with your lookups/app, or you had several books from a (almost certainly tiny/amateur) publisher who improperly reused ISBNs. I

I missed that sentence too. I guess the large heading starting with "(1)" drew my eyes first and felt like the natural place to start reading, while the short sentence or two above it in smaller text subconsciously felt skippable

The second sentence in the Getting Started section invites you to follow the manual guides instead of running the 3rd party shell scripts. I think this is a good way to do it -- have both options and tell people about them right at the star
