   Granting a tax credit for something encourages that thing. So, from that perspective, I think it makes some sense to grant a tax credit for mortgage interest but not credit card debt.

   Yeah, I think there was some confusion about which video on the page was causing the issue, but the test cases I created are much simpler - just one video per page.

   I don't know if it's still the case, but a while back Firefox would allow muted looping videos to auto play, basically like an animated gif. However, if the video had an audio track (even muted) it would keep the computer from sle

   I don't see how it could physically fit more than 1 logitech-style dongle internally, but that's still better than 0.

    I was told something like this and I worked at IBM, a few years before the pandemic. They decided they wanted everyone to work on site in a smaller number of offices. Some folks were just laid off, many others were told they had to move or

    Good point. I only looked through the git history initially, but I've now looked through both. Same conclusion.

    Mintlify sponsors one of my open source projects, express-rate-limit, and we use their service to host the docs for it. So I'm probably biased, but I've honestly been pretty happy with it overall - I'm thinking about using it

    This is a good call, IMO. I used to live out in the countryside and had a 3.5mb down / 768kb up DSL connection that was advertised as "max speed" since it didn't meet even the previous definition of broadband (25 up &#x2

    Speaking as someone who might end up on the receiving end of one of those calls: please don't. Robo-dialers with low-paid humans to handle the call once the recipient answers up are already terrible, replacing the human with an AI soun

    Aah, ok, I edited my comment to just say that it was the best for a while, not still the best. Agree with you about Samsung's 5nm process.

    I'm on a Snapdragon 870 (moto g100), and it's great. Performance and battery life are both good enough that I don't think about it very often, and I've never had any overheating issues. I think the 870 was the highest en

    You're correct. But I believe they have an identical design - the only difference is that the 8+ runs a little faster and more efficiently, because it was manufactured by TSMC, whereas the 8 was manufactured by Samsung.

    100% agree. I think nvidia using an outdated DP version on their latest GPUs has only made this worse. One thing I've found is that sometimes displays will have USB-C & DisplayPort, which is effectively two DP inputs.

    This is yet another thing that reinforces my opinion that DisplayPort is superior to HDMI.
