I’ve seen this repeated and it’s just not true. Very non-expert users can use it just because its reasonably stable and they just don’t do that many things, as long as they have a working web browser they are fine (thats the premise of a ch

This is a very narrow minded take. Notebooks are used mostly by scientists who are just using code as a research tool. Being able to explore to learn is incredibly useful. Using them in production is a perfect bridge between different disci

From a purely engineering standpoint maybe, but that’s also not fully the point of these programs. Look at the suppliers and you will see money going to every state, spread across many regions. This is as much a public money stimulus progra

I might have missed the memo where Gnuplot has a better api than matplot ;) Seriously though, there have been many attempts to make a "better matplotlib" and yet it's still going strong - mostly because when you really get in

Philosophically the question is not much different than “do we only exist in the mind of a deity”. It’s impossible to determine (since any search for “proof” would rely on assumptions about this external reality that are impossible to demo

You can define Before, After, or WantedBy to define the dependency order. Systemd them makes sure to start services in the right order, it starts them by default but you can also configure services not to start if nothing depends on them.

Telemetry and spyware are not the same thing (irrespective of whatever Firefox is doing). There is a big difference between tracking to try to understand how users are using a software or getting information on bugs and crashes, and trackin

I have been using Firefox since version 2.x and I never understood what downsides people find with it. I've used chrome and the only difference i saw was annoying pushes from google to log in so that i could be tracked all the time. Ot

Should we really call it "engineering" if its a case of "try random things until one of them works without really knowing why"?

I remember when Canonical did a lot of work to fix 'papercuts' in the linux desktop, and they used that term because there was a lot of 'small' bugs that really added up to make the whole thing a pain to use. Especially

Counting iOS, iPadOS, and macOS app stores as different is going to be challenged by the EU for sure, since their own marketing touts the 'unified app store experience' of buying once across all platforms.

But is this fixed in win11? From what others tell me the win11 is actually just another skin on the same code. You can still find plenty of UI styles from previous windows in win11

Ironically, one of the qualities of the Mac is the consistency of the interface styling and UX irrespective of how specifically the task bar works, while Microsoft just keep adding layer on top of layer so that depending on which bit of the

That's something I was genuinely wondering, how bad was the win10 task bar codebase because as i understand it the win11 is a completely new program so they have to keep reimplementing features they already had.

Well it's more a infrastructure policy issue than a technical one. Steam systems are so wasteful its hard to lose money upgrading them. As you say though, if you have different utilities under different ownership, some state owned and

Amazing, only 2 years to implement a feature you had already. What was so problematic about the Windows 10 taskbar that they had to completely scrap it and start from zero??

Steam based systems are just obsolete, steam under pressure leaks easily unless you do plenty of maintenance. Most district heating systems use liquid water in a closed loop. In fact most operators today are looking to further reduce temper

Indeed, the whole point of the 12 factor design is to decouple the app from a single config file. Instead you use whatever method you like to define environment variables and the app should just work. Also helps avoid committing secrets to
