I wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.

This comes from either business or the UX people who want stuff to look pixel perfect to their stupid wireframe. Why does a website that sells to a pretty much captive audience who cares more about functionality than looks obsess so much ab

Please try the article mode in your web browser. Firefox has a pretty good one but I understand all major browsers have this now.

People are down voting you but this is very similar to the answer I got from a real employee (as opposed to a v dash) at Microsoft. Their solution was they use something called power toys, which is technically a Microsoft product. Problem i

My biggest pet peeve - Ctrl plus shift plus v pastes unformatted but right next to it is Ctrl plus shift plus c which starts a call in whatever chat you are in. Also there is no way within ms teams to remove this binding. Wat‽

I want to express my gratitude to the typsr team and congratulate them on their release. I got started with typst because I wanted to put my resume in a got repository, for no reason other than to learn git. One day I want to write a crossw

Google tried to sell itself to Yahoo! for a million dollars.

More likely outcome is the companies will spend even more on AWS, deploying to multiple AWS regions... Just a guess but I think this bubble will stretch a bit more before it pops.

It could be something as simple as answering the phone. Or checking if the default image for a product on an ecommerce website exists. If you answer the phone or write a quick script to check if the default image exists, now you sort of bec

I don't see freedom two as having a qualification of "helping your neighbor". My interpretation is you can share anything you have with anyone else, even Amazon dot com and it (Amazon dot com) will have all the rights you hav

That is a moot point. It could be a million dollars but the person who received it can them pass it on for zero dollars.

In context of GNU and FSF, when we say free software, we always mean free software with the basic freedoms Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose. Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and chang

The camera is also surprisingly software dependent. Using the pixel camera vs using default configuration with an app called open camera, the difference is so clear. The camera is basically all software — the images are pure trash before pr

I don't mind the many multiple distributions but the default experience really sucks. For example, there should only ever be one clipboard by default. If power users want multiple, they can go out of their way to configure their device

Time after time we believe people in important places have some higher knowledge or some deeper insight. However, more likely, they were just regular people who were in the right place at the right time. I don't think they understood w

That's even more reason for fast mail to actually invest and coordinate with clients, especially with JMAP integration. This is from August 2019 https://www.fastmail.com/blog/jmap-new-email-open-standard/ Th

I love this idea but I don't know enough about the specifics. Isn't it really bad(TM) for the pump or compressor or something I don't know about for the input power to be variable like this? Like there might be an errant clou

I would love to have an air conditioning / cooling solution that is directly linked to solar panels with no batteries involved. Like the sun shines, we get electricity, we do the work. My main goal for this thought experiment is to com

I can't think of a way to have dozens of smaller car companies, all competitive and all viable long term without ongoing and adaptive regulation. With Chevron doctrine dead and Congress struggling to pass a budget, I can't see how

My conspiracy theory is there is something inherently rotten at Apple and it is simply not possible to build a smartwatch that never mind can match the feature set of the apple watch but also the levels of battery efficiency on the iPhone p

Yes, the people who did those hirings should probably be let go as well. But eventually, it is the CEO and the board who are responsible and they seem to never pay a price for their poor action / inaction.

I sometimes give LLM random "easy" questions. My assessment is still that they all need the fine print "bla bla can be incorrect" You should either already know the answer or have a way to verify the answer. If neither,

I didn't think it should be illegal to say "I wish X were dead" unless you have the means to make it happen like a rabid audience with a track record of killing people you wish were dead. Even then, I think there needs to be

> there is a very broad social demand for this I don't believe you. My guess is the demand comes from manufactured consent, not from people who deeply understand the issue.

Yes! That's the whole "when in Rome" idea but I've never gotten any team at $work to accept that. A drop down menu on an iPhone SE is supposed to look different than on an ultra wide monitor on a desktop!

Is distribution the only problem? If Mozilla or Google were to make their code freely available on some git forge like GitHub and I cloned the repo and built it myself, would I be able to run it for seven days or something in the US?

I have never been to DPRK but based on what I've read, I wouldn't even press "report phishing" button in my work email or any task at work I was not absolutely required to do, much less go out of my way to be a whistlebl

Yes but good luck trying to get funding approval. There is a funny saying that wealthy people don't become wealthy by giving their wealth away. I think it applies to companies even more.

I started programming before stack overflow, was never any good (still am not to this day), but I was always scared of asking questions on stack overflow. I felt like there was a certain amount of homework expected when you ask a question a
