Anecdata: I found most people don't have an issue with the vocabulary itself but rather their attention spans. From what I've experienced from family members and friends, the younger ones seem to get exasperated by any longer amou

Because your typical android user is not even aware of it and if they are they don't know or care enough to look for an alternative.

Sure, but compilers are arguably idempotent. Same code input, same output. LLMs certainly are not.

To continue with your analogy: maybe they don't need understand every detail, but they should know how they function, what safety precautions to take, and when it is a better/more useful tool compared to what they're currentl

I have to replace a steel beam inside my house. It's old and when it was installed (1936), the building and load requirements were quite a bit different. With the modifications I'm making to the house, a new one is needed. The bea

The total cost of replacement as quoted to me by contractors is 5x. I've reached out to several and none of the quotes go below it. I'm doing a lot of things myself, but anything that can get dangerous or wildly expensive when I f

Absolutely, its unfortunately just a matter of cost. To get an equally sized wood beam that could support the weight, its almost 5x the price. Even factoring in other materials and labour.

MS Office is far from a good piece of software itself though. Frankly, the amount sub-menus and other bullshit I constantly have to fix for my parents does not make for a great experience either. Mind, I barely actually use any Excel/W

This is not the first article I have read about it. Throughout all of them, though, one main question I still could not find an answer to is: stronger than which steel? HSLA, carbon, rebar? Other than that, I'm all for it. We're r

A mix of both. There are large number of websites that are inefficiently written using up unnecessary amounts of resources. Semi-modern devices make up for that by just having a massive amount of computing power. However, you also need to c

Thanks for linking it. Obviously not a great approach. I'd still look at Jetbrains more favorably than most other tech companies. Clearly not perfect by any means. To be fair to them, they seemed to listen to the feedback and provided

I grew up never needing paper maps. Once I got my license, GPS was ubiquitous. Most modern paper maps are quite the same as Google Maps or equivalents would be though. The underlying core material is the same so I don't think most peop

I think a lot of people don't have a problem with commercial software, but rather with the disingenuous behavior that some companies display. VSCode was/is often touted as open source and Microsoft are using it to present themselv

Absolutely. This particular setup is meant more for your bog-standard home NAS.

I've been looking into a NAS myself. I think self-built is the best bang for buck you're going to get and not have any annoying limitations. There's plenty of motherboards with integrated CPUs (N100 same as cheaper Ugreen one
