You missed one of the worst: mandatory interactive ones. My wife is a sucker for these horribly generic flashy F2P puzzle-ish games. There are these ads that pop up every N action or something; some of these look like a mini-game and are ac

Meanwhile, I was taught and practiced IPv6 in 2003-5 in engineering school (France). As of 2024, IPv6 deployment in France was >97% mobile and >98% residential due to not being required for obtaining a 5G radio license (and then v6 si

Historically - like, way back - a lot of the Ruby core chatter happened on a japanese mailing list, and that's where a lot of decisions ended up taking place, or it wasn't uncommon to have sudden hard subjects bombdrop on the en

Is it? the "green" answers mentioned on-call and crunch periods. I'd say these questions are simply about enquiring about a sustainable pace and humane practice, the ones you find to actually be the most important with senior

Counter anecdata. My wife is the bane of electronic devices. Phones simply won't survive a week without an industrial case. Screen projectors last as short as a single day. The only computers that survived her JerryRigEverything levels

Depending on how you look at it, there may be two distinct parts to this: a) API to not just read notifications but also perform the notification quick actions (if any), e.g snooze for a calendar event, mark complete for a reminder, and of

I've seen - and used - such nocaps patterns as far back as the 90's on IRC. As I remember there was no singular reason; not having to pinky-press shift was definitely a factor.

Each device gets directly addressable from WAN with v6 but it also gets a randomised privacy IP that rotates very frequently so each individual device is just as "hidden" as it was with v4+NAT. Your v6 subnet prefix is no differen

That has to be the most dystopian-sci-fi-turning-into-reality-fast thing I've read in a while. I'd take smartphones vanishing rather than books any day.

And the relief when you reach the same level on a higher difficulty level but you have to save 100%... ... Which you can using various digging techniques that completely eluded you in the easy difficulty.

In French there is a thin space (and failing support for thin space, a NBSP) before `?` and `!`. Not before `.` though. If missing, these spaces are automatically added which various autocorrect features of localised OSes or otherwise.

Another one I've seen was someone live coding (well, doing some small code changes to an existing codebase, compiling, uploading) a program that controls a drone and made it perform a couple of tricks on stage. Live demos do work, it&#

I never said anything regarding it being "technically superior". I merely commented on the "vinyl gets destroyed on every play" trope which at a leisurely listening human scale largely does not matter: it does wear but

Also probably because the iPods are very sturdy devices, which many competitors were not; my 2nd gen iPod Nano has suffered extreme abuse yet was perfectly usable. I somewhat regret throwing it away in a recycling bin some years ago.

I used to notice and somewhat - but not solely - rely on icons, especially nice designed sets. It seems though that a combination of samey-sameness (greyscale, shape, etc...) and the constant bombarding of attention-grabbing imagery (emoj

I don't know, I kind of liked it. For once instead of being shoved a ready-made solution there's a short explanation of the core idea with a live example, but instead of a fully documented shadertoy it's like the answer is RO

From another thought-experiment-y perspective: Say you have problem A to solve. Then either one of those is true: 1) it has been solved before, ergo by virtue of software having a zero cost of copying (contrary to, say, a nail, a car, or a
