Re: performance, I disabled Apple Intelligence (it’s useless anyways) and noticed a big perf improvement on my 16 plus.

Literally every change made in iOS 26 feels like a downgrade to me. This is the first time I have ever considered downgrading iOS.

I think this correlates more to individual culture and interest in general computing than anything else. As you said yourself, the 'lost programmer' isn't curious, isn't interested in the details. They are interested in

Nice. I've been looking for a decent budget spreadsheet for a while. Great price.

Visual studio is the only real alternative, for full featured IDE, yes. It is about as useful as Rider imo, but the analyzers and general UX are lacking

Really too bad. Rider is the best option for C# IMO. Would really like to know if vim with LSP is a good alternative.

Somehow I doubt telecom infrastructure in NYC is susceptible enough to completely drop service citywide when under attack from one DDoS source. In fact, I suppose this is technically just DoS, because all these SIMs should be served by 1, m

The point is not that individual luck plays no part. It's about what your environment offers you as a baseline, not accounting for individual luck.

What are you trying to say with this, that you disagree, or that it's an intelligent perspective afforded to those who are not hopeless? I don't see how anyone can disagree that the aggregate actions of your parents, your locality

Frankly, I am refusing to use npm outside of docker anymore.

Yes, however unrealistic it may be, several factions in the Culture universe do claim to be the masters of their Minds, or refuse to instantiate them.

As someone recently starting (and coming near the end of) the Culture series, I oftem find myself thinking about the course of action humanity might choose if AGI is reached. Frankly, I think the popular sentiment and path of least resistan

Right, definitely important to note the Culture existed for milennia by the earliest (canon chronologically) novel.

You assume the average consumer is paying any attention to the net weight of their purchases.

I think the big assumption that this article hinges on is that AI will never create durable code. That cannot be true. Now that we’ve finally got a taste of the singularity, humans will never stop trying to bring about AGI, which by definit

Sentiment I have heard is manufactories do not want to increase die size because defects per die increases at the same time.

I would argue GNOME doesn't have a comparable ecosystem of apps to KDE...

While kind of tangential, I’d like to say the Culture novels do, in fact, largely follow stories of humans with complete agency over their destinies, and often human choices almost entirely shape the story. Minds do take a large role, in so

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? This is so out of touch with the Firefox userbase I almost want to believe they’re intentionally killing it off.

In the Culture novels, Iain Banks imagines that we would become uncomfortable with the uncanny realism of transmitted voices / holograms, and intentionally include some level of distortion to indicate you're speaking to an image

Also worth noting, as someone who worked with appliances in the past, I have heard nothing but praise for speed queen products. Sentiment is that they are extremely reliable, if expensive.

Learning the app is not the difficult part. It is honing your style within the toolset you're comfortable with. Every DAW has its pain points and learning curve. Spend a few hours a week with each and see which one works for you, is my

I think with enough exposure to the overdone contrast ratios, you start to get tired of it. It sacrifices a lot of clarity. I agree it does look good in some cases, for example I enjoy the look of Battlefield 1 a lot, but when playing it I
