I can't help thinking that a big factor is how bad our tools were before. There are many leaking abstractions, boilerplate code and cruft. Dealing with that fills a sizeable percent of a programmer's job. These tools seem great b

Not the gp, but from my own experience: some business use out-of-the-box online shop software that is not very good. I wouldn't say "most" but, if you're buying some particular niche products, it becomes true. Slow pages

I had to disable yet another feature in about:config last week, something related to AI, not sure if it's the same. Startup and first load of many pages were painfully slow.

Some good points, bad logic. The fact that you can't effectively measure something doesn't mean that something doesn't exist. Individual productivity exists. Maybe it's easier to measure groups' productivity? Probab

Disclaimer: I can't really vouch for any of this, but let me tell you what's being discussed in the press over here. This is Government's version and it shows. REE boss was put there by the ruling party. Still they try to pai

That's trying to put a material value on software, and doing it based on the salaries of developers is as crazy as valuing it in lines of code. I'm not sure if depreciation is the same concept as we call amortización in my cou

The planet (TOI-6894b) is a low-density gas giant with a radius a little larger than Saturn’s but with only ~50% of Saturn’s mass. IIRC Saturn has very low density, was it lower than water? (IOW it would float) so this would be even light

It may be that the author's position isn't specifically about politics as such: he might say, rather, that art should be subordinate to morals... That has been the default option for large historic periods, when organized religi

In biology one thing is made similar to other ("assimilated") in order to absorb it. In the same way, some ideas are packed in some format known to be easy to digest. The trick in this topic is how dissimilar to some vague canon

Instead, it's doomed to rot until it's replaced of rewritten. I've seen how that mindset has ruined several companies. Not saying that you're wrong about that particular program that is, after all, free software replac

Just curious: how does drag & drop works with Dolphin in Mac? I quit KDE because I got mad with the files drop menu. Do you also get it when installing Dolphin?

I had the opposite confusion. I asked the sysadmin where he was from, I had guessed Germany. He told me he was from Madrid, just had to relearn speaking after he had a brain tumor removed a few years before.

No, the surnames are Ruiz and Picasso. The rest are given names and nobody uses more than two. It was in the baptism record where all the saints of the days used to be added. I have a similar record with a dozen names, but only two given na

The phone itself is only a piece. Apple sells multiple services, without them the phone is useless. If you can't access the appstore, the backups, etc. what good is an iPhone? Now, the UK can say that UK citizens' data can't

A colleague gave me the best advice when I was teaching programming courses: you haven't learned from books but from professional experience (actually both, but anyway) just tell them what worked and what didn't. And why. I applie

For a long time I wondered why nightlife had cooled down so much. Then I realized that natality had sharply declined. Not evenly distributed, but around me it's pretty much the main cause. Every scene is just much less crowded.
