The better availability and scalability of “the cloud” always relied on so many things being done and maintained just right by just the right people that I don’t think it’s ever been broadly true. You get such a large performance malus and

We have a sound we usually spell “yeah”, which can also be an informal “yes” but can also server roughly the role of a “Well, “. The same spelling is sometimes employed for a cheer that might otherwise be spelled “yay” and sounds very diffe

Yep, all of us with a clue are keeping our traps shut at work, or even boosting it or slapping it onto projects that don't need it, because this is clearly one of those things where attempting to offer counsel and advice that's co

... and if it weren't the rule, it'd make a lot of mid- and late-game play much safer for the player with the advantage. As it is, it's something they have to watch out for, which constrains them somewhat. You have to win,

I've lost it a lot lately, for some reason, after what I suppose was my third multi-year victory streak. Like, five or so losses this year.

I'd be 1,000x more interested in a project with the official git maintainers' buy-in to leverage the alleged power of LLM development to bring all git's features into libgit2 (or whatever, but that's a starting point)

Seconding others here, what you're bringing up as distinct features of Gitbutler seems to just be stuff git can do. - One local copy of a repo with multiple work trees checked out at once, on different branches/commits? Git does t

I'd consider another Keychron (my first mechanical since a couple of AT and PS/2 Model M and variant devices I had years and years ago) and I like some stuff about it and definitely like the price, but would look for a model with

Connecting so much stuff to the network was always crazy. Ditto computerizing so much, some yes, but as much as we have? Horribly risky. I doubt we'll see a shift away from "everything's on the network!" because it'

Regular coffee, too, can be very delicate, minimally bitter, giving herbal or strong tea-like notes, among other things. I've not gotten that kind of profile out of anything but fairly-expensive beans roasted within the last couple of

Gmail uses stupid amounts of memory, and the web version on iOS is so terrible it's got to be deliberate. The key problem is that they override scroll behavior such that scrolling intents are often registered as clicks, then they r

"Effect" and "affect" are hilariously messed-up. They have subtly overlapping definitions sometimes but other times mean totally different things. They look almost the same in writing. They can sound almost the same.

"Guys" (without a "the" in front of it) is uncontroversially gender-neutral in most contexts in at least some parts of the US. I'm not sure whether folks worried about it are from places where it's definitely n

My guess would be price. Shoppers probably got more sensitive to the price of a keyboard as the price of computers dropped, and approximately none of them were choosing between two computer-bundles at the store with any regard for keyboard
