A lone "thanks" doesn't seem to contain very much human element in it either, though; that just feels like somebody wanted to make a comment but couldn't be bothered to provide detail. What specifically are they thanking

Given that XP is no_std, it seems plausible that they want to use some newer APIs in the standard library that didn't exist in older versions of Windows?

Isn't a good high density screen typically a large power drain? Perhaps there's a trade-off that was made there…

You'll probably never do things the people who contributed won't agree with. But someday you'll pass away, and the people who end up with your estate might not care about the intricacies of software and sell it off for cheap

The appliance bought at the brick-and-mortar store could get a recall; the random thing bought off Amazon wouldn't have one is it's at similar levels of setting things on fire.

Even if you somehow banded together all Costco members (i.e. people who paid membership fees to be able to ship there), you wouldn't be able to force the board of directors to resign (other than via boycotts etc.). For a clearer exampl

At least you're not using Firefox for Android; that doesn't even let you view cert data on sites with proper certs (like this one). Chrome on Android does.

Remember that all the people up the chain deciding compensation are managers. It's natural that they would perceive the management track as more important, because they're on it.

FWIW, I'm happy with IKEA Skådis pegboard (vertical, clamped to the desk surface) + magazine rack, holding laptop & thunderbolt dock. The dock means it's a single cable to unplug to take the laptop out. It's probably chea

Adobe doesn't hold copyright on images produced using Photoshop. Assuming prompt guidance can be used to claim copyright (unclear, see https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/us-co... ), t

Might be interesting to import from Taiwan instead, if you'd like to keep it Asian but prefer left-hand drive. For example, CMC Veryca ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMC_Veryca ) which was originally based off a

MSDN sold a service where they mailed you physical CDs. Once they had the documentation on their website it was all free. (A subscription would get you licenses for QAing on different versions of Windows / additional other stuff, but t

"not helping": posting low-effort comments that don't help with anything "Internet famous": your repo had a bug so severe you got news articles written about it. Both were from thinking about https://gith

I don't think I've ever read through the Nvidia binary drivers that way. (They're named *.run but are basically shar files)

They already have (separate) capability to force uninstall specific extensions, so there isn't much point to blocking specific extensions from all sites. My charitable guess for this one is block things like Honey (which essentially sl

Does a wheelchair become a vehicle if somebody who _can_ walk without it sits in it? Does that mean everyone in wheelchairs must be harassed (to find out if they need it)?

IKEA furniture varies a lot in quality (especially across years) so talking about them as a whole is difficult. I could never get the Bestå doors straight, but the Malms seem pretty sturdy. Lack things (especially the simple end table) look

FWIW, it seems like if you assign a shortcut to the snap commands, they show up in the menu even without Option. So as a workaround you could assign extremely difficult to use keys just to keep them in the menu.

My understanding was that they can still sell cars without collecting all that data, and still satisfy both. You know, all that data they were hoping to make money on.

ROCm still doesn't support consumer GPUs; that means people building random things (as opposed to more serious work things) won't be using their stack, so none of the innovation will be there. It may be possible to use it with con

Managing C++ dependencies _is_ much easier! It's either "run this setup exe" or "extract this zip file/tarball/dmg and run". This is because most people don't care about developing the project, just u

It looks like they very carefully did not claim it to be open source :) As somebody who typically dislikes the Elastic license, this is really a great use of it: - it used to be completely closed source, so it's not taking any previous

My understanding is that "you can see the source code" is typically labeled "source available". "Don't have to pay for the binary" is sometimes "free as in beer", or if you're using floppy d

I'm hopeful that they'll somewhat keep the tablet form factor working because it'll be used when a foldable device is open; it's just a bit bigger. I'm not hopeful enough to go buy a tablet, however.

Confusion was probably the point; they wanted the good will associated with the old name (and if possible, migrate the users over to bootstrap the new thing), even if doing so would destroy that.

Could you expand on why being an anonymous proxy would be an issue in this case? I can't think of anything interesting off the top of my head. You can't post (because you're not logged in), so there's no issues with mode

They've also relatively recently killed off i.reddit.com (the .compact view that looks like really old iOS). That was good for mobile when old-reddit was too wide.
