Well, you could always investigate how to detach the wifi antennas, though it’s possible your Bluetooth will also stop working, and most TV remotes are Bluetooth these days.

I had to object to a few of these too. If you need an Office viewer, you can just download the office apps - unlicensed, e.g. on an iPad, you can read office files just fine. Microsoft Edge is better than ever. They killed the last vestiges

That’s a really good point. The first LTE cellphones I had were much faster to connect than 3G when loading webpages, but they weren’t as fast as they got a few years later, as LTE-Advanced started deploying, etc. Although part of the speed

Perhaps I didn’t explain myself fully. OpenPolicyAgent distributes the policy so you can integrate[1] it with systems that need to ask for validation such that lookups are constant time and performed on the same machine but distributed - sc

This is actually why I think we need more cloud and not less. The problem is poorly designed code, not monolith or microservice. For example, ValidationService as described above could be replaced with OpenPolicyAgent and would scale much b

Perhaps there’s an alternative to reduce the bundle size further: use code splitting or something like the shared module bundling that Webpack does for you when you have multiple entrypoints relying on the same shared code (if over a thresh

In the extreme case, though, a library author can run their own build toolchain and create an executable npm module with zero declared dependencies, then version that as many times as they desire as long as their test cases guarantee that t

My preferred fix for Yarn dependency tracking is to use zero installs[1] as there is no command to run and dependencies can be exactly what ships in the repo and nothing more (with the right flags). If accepting PRs from third-parties, the

KDE connect does what the Remote Hippo app did a decade ago, from what I’m seeing of it’s documentation - let’s you use your phone as a trackpad and maybe share files and such. Yes, it’s more advanced, but it’s not a rethinking of things. T

Likewise. I think, “can hold liquids, handheld, might be hot or cold,” probably a white ceramic comes to mind, maybe something I might have seen at IKEA. No handle, no decorations, a cup isn’t defined by those and they don’t show up in my i

On macOS, you get both the ribbon and the hierarchical menu. Heaven help you if trying to navigate the "ribbon" on an iPhone though. That said, I actually do like the simplified ribbon on Office for the web - once you figure out t

No, that line stood out to me too. I felt like that clearly expressed the lack of experience and maturity the author has with programming. Over the short term it is definitely possible to have a skill set degrade in a particular language or

I doubt long term that it causes much havoc with three letter agencies. If anything, it simplifies it a small bit because now they can look at the records of only two intermediaries, Apple and the CDNs they use. That said, why go to the tro

I think the suggestion was 50-100 people in the _company_, not that each team should be that large. Right now they only have 15 people total.

Isn’t that kind of like saying Real numbers are complete? Yes, it’s true, but we don’t have an infinite level of precision for each colour. So we have to, practically speaking, limit how many colours can be specified to some reasonable (and

The way it used to work was that the upload went into a copy of the website, ideally created on a COW (copy-on-write) filesystem to avoid copying files that hadn’t changed and then you would change an alias or hard link to point to the new
