Or more importantly you can make each human far more effective with partial automation (AKA tools).

While we are at it we could also have the government provide the cards as well. Oh, that is a subway system.

Should all companies have to run their own CDN? I agree that Cloudflare having a huge market share is a problem but I don't see how you could outlaw this. Unless every company is buying property and running their own servers they will

Why not both? Just because we can make our code more efficient doesn't mean we should go back to Motorola 6800s. We should make our code more efficient and make hardware that can run that code more efficently.

The feature I think I would most like to see is support for patches as a more first-class object. For example reverts and cherry picks have no real metadata. This leads to conflicts when merging branches that have cherry picks (although the

The thing I would love to see the most is full shortcut management. 1. Configure which shortcuts override web page shortcuts. (Ex: Can't open history on Google Docs) 2. Customize shortcuts arbitrarily (add/remove/remap defaul

I was there. (I am admittedly not a regular but did recently go on a "PATH walk".) I don't think that renovation is the main problem. The PATH is very nice and comfortable. I see the main issue is it being closed weekends (I

I varies a lot by location. But many of the downtown Toronto locations are small with little seating. The suburbs and highway side locations are often larger and more comfortable. Not to mention that Tim's has a pretty bad reputation t

I'm a Toronto native and the PATH is very cool, but I don't know how great of a third place it is. It does have public seating and tables, but they are spread out and often not very large. Also almost all of the shops are closed d

You can do this on Firefox if (and only if I think) you have a multi-touch input device. So on my trackpad (a Wacom tablet) or my touchscreen laptop I can pinch to pan and zoom like this. But I don't think there is a way to trigger thi

No, there is no global default. It can be customized by users and the defaults can vary on different devices. https://nicolas-hoizey.com/articles/2016/03/02/people-don-t-...

In the abstract sense instead of pulling from queues round-robin you can assign "tokens" to each queue round robin. When the number of tokens a queue has is equal to the cost of the request reset the tokens and pull that request.

Pricing is going to depend on the product. For my SaaS I ended up going with usage-based pricing and am quite happy with it. 1. It aligns to my costs, so I'm not too worried about abuse. 2. It allows servicing "small" users,

IIUC fixed widths is more than just a UI problem. Lots of internal code is assuming that. But maybe it works well-enough that it isn't a real issue. I remember trying a terminal that didn't have fixed char widths and it mostly wor

My general approach for macros that I want to execute many times is to end by going down a line (for sequential lines) or to end with a search for the next place that the macro can run. Then I can easily review the targets and run or skip o

Wow. Almost all of these are things that I will be using right away. It's not often that a release, especially one for software that has lineage back decades, is so relevant to my use cases. I already had `K` set to LSP hover. I just s

I wonder this a lot. Often times I am taking a break from my computer to cook or whatever and feel like in 2023 I should be able to just move the video I was watching to my TV, or the audio to the networked speaker in the kitchen. There are

Both approaches are useful at different times. For example you wouldn't want to accidentally multiple a meter by a centimeter but you may want to provide std::io::Result<T> which is equivalent to Result<T, std::io::Error> b

I guess if you just follow a few blogs the tiny overhead isn't worth it. But I follow literally hundreds of blogs and vlogs, many that only post a few times a year. It would be a waste of time to not automate the aggregation.

I suspect it is mostly for selling things like default search engine and ads via Firefox Suggest. Some search categories are far more valuable than others for ads.

The isolation I am referencing is from the VM, not the container. Containers don't provide strong isolation, that is why the VM is required in this model.

This tricks me all of the time. Part of me wants for it to work to avoid allocating an empty array object in situations like `[...opts?.foo.map(format)]`. On the other hand I appreciate the stricter type safety.

It makes a lot more sense when you consider copying from a document then pasting in another location. If you copy a header you want it to stay a header, if you copy coloured text you may expect it to be coloured. It makes a lot less sense w

This is one of my favourite games. The puzzles are suitably mind bending with unique mechanics. There are a few mechanics that I didn't feel were fairly introduced, you had to sort of guess the first time you encountered them (in a few

The Linux kernel has far too large of an attack surface to be trusted as a hard security boundary. It is good enough to prevent mostly trusted software from accidentally interfering with each other but I would not trust it to protect me fro
