Sometimes it can be as simple as "version 2 of this software does things this way, but I'm using version 14, how can I do this?". "Closed as duplicate: [question from 12 years ago]".

If Whatsapp failed to become WeChat organically, even though it's installed in most phones around the world and in some places you can already make payments through it, do you really think Twitter can pull it off by brute force?

Different mental starting points and a healthy dose of randomness and luck. To me, learning maths always felt like playing puzzle games. The more you play different games, the more you get used to the "secrets" behind the puzzles

Please, enough with this mentality. You don't need to work overtime or sacrifice your work-life balance to grow and earn raises or bonuses. For anyone reading that is working in a company that works like this, just know that there&#x27

The Deck can be compared to a laptop computer with specialized controls and a touch screen. It runs a desktop OS, with desktop programs and games. You can use it as a normal desktop computer, connected to a screen and peripherals, and thi

Is that really worth it, though? The 13 inch screen from this company is 899€ and already comes in a proper enclosure, and is wireless which seems important for this product. If your goal is to quickly manufacture reliable devices, partneri

It's complicated in the political sense. They are spelunking former colonies to meet green energy targets, while those same countries struggle to progress.

The people from Solar Roadways actually got support from several governments in the US. It's totally bonkers. They never had a proper functioning system. The whole idea is ridiculous and people pointed it out since the beginning. But i

It's.. complicated. Nuclear is super clean at the consumption site, but not super clean at the mining site [0]. And then there's the problem that France's access to cheap uranium is a relic of extractive colonialism, and thes

Right, that. I don't use Instagram so I might have confused the terms.

It doesn't have to be great. Users are already on instagram. Instagram reels were not better than snapchat stories, yet they still basically killed snapchat, because if people are already on Instagram, and so are their friends, that&#x

Google and Microsoft have the resources and market penetration to create a Western WeChat, but these companies are too fragmented internally, so their various teams will never be able to work together to pull it off. Apple will probably be

And that's what I mean. The idea is there, and they have all your location data, but the feature is not polished, it's inconsistent, and not reliable, so it might as well not exist.

On one hand, it doesn't make sense to be talking about CSS and web design when we are talking about _policy_ changes. I'm sure if you go back to when Reddit first released the new frontend, you would fine all the CSS discussions y
