Some software development workflows require specific tooling, with complex setups. While it may be possible to do with other tools, it's often very difficult, and not really worth the trouble when there is a known working setup. It&#x2

I didn't see any mention of politics in the article, nor in the comment section, so who exactly are you writing this comment for, yourself?

Unless your device is fully air-gapped, and you are absolutely certain of that, then you should assume whatever you do on the device is being monitored, by someone, somewhere, for any reason at all.

>"No. All you are doing is engaging in semantic wankery." I'm not the one who first used the term "cash cow" here. It apparently doesn't mean what you think it means. If you look up the definition, you will

Yeah, you're still just wrong. In the 1990s Windows brought in $1.2 billion. In the 2010s, it brought in about $14 billion. In 2022 it was $24.8 billion, and in 2024, it was $29.1 billion. So your assumption that Windows is somehow &qu

I use Preact for a very lean build for a front-end that lives in a small embedded MCU flash ROM. Gziped the whole front-end is about 25KB, including SVG images baked-in to the preact gzip file. I'm very careful about the libraries I in

I use Preact, in the old-school way, without any "use-whatever" that React introduced. I like it that way. It's simple, it's very easy, and I get things done quickly without over-thinking it.

$28 billion is definitely "a cash cow", no matter how many other "cash cows" they have.

I see plenty of people taking "hallucinations" as the truth, and teenagers above all do not have the mental capacity to tell truth from nonsense, so they are learning things that are completely false from "AI". Teenagers

Some countries are banning social media for teenagers, but they really should be banning "AI" all teenagers. Most adults can't even be trusted with asking an "AI" about anything, so children are going to have a very

They already did that by forcing "AI" into the OS.

I use all of the screen, top, bottom, everything. I need the space. An ultra-wide just will not do for me, or I would have bought one already.

No QA is better than bad QA. I've had great QA teams and just awful QA teams. Most of them are somewhere in the middle. I'll take no QA over bad QA every time. Filing bugs that aren't bugs, not understanding the most basic th

I'm using three 4k 32" screens arranged vertically, for 6480 x 3840 desktop size. The only real monitor upgrade I'm willing to entertain is a ~50" 8k curved screen (basically a curved TV-sized screen), which has not been

She was actually backing up away from the officer that shot her while he was reaching for his gun. So she was moving away from him, and he goes for his gun. The videos clearly shows this.

Same here. We stopped using toilet paper during covid, got a bidet, and bought a couple hundred shop towels to dry our butts. Now we only buy toilet paper for guests, which happens maybe once a year after throwing several parties. Then we a

And what will they do with the maximum possible resolution a drone can provide, that they can't already do with publicly available data? I mean, if dropping a bomb is the intent, does it really matter if it's 3 inches off?

The sterility of AI generated music will lead to a sterility in creativity of humans if "AI" generated music ever becomes dominant. The world is messy, and human music reflects that. But good for you if your life is so uncomplicat

Google and others have already mapped practically everything. I don't buy that China is using access to DJI drones to map anything. Seriously, what data set can they provide that isn't already public domain?
