That's a great whataboutism. None of your points are wrong, none of your conclusions are wrong, yet your comment still derails and detracts from GP's well stated point. Don't do this.

Availability is also one of the principal problems with e-Ink, and is directly related to the patent issue. It is next to impossible to source e-Ink displays (even at outrageous prices), or to work with E Ink corporation in any capacity u

That's exactly my point. If sponsoring options is done by the community, and is relatively easy, then fewer proposed options in one category does suggest that this category is unpopular with the community. If there are several variat

You do realize that the community needs to propose and sponsor these options, right? Fewer people being willing to propose a pro-RMS option is an indication of which way the tide is moving, even if you still want to argue about why this m

None, other than the historical fact that they are the ones creating and selling the NFT. You could re-encode the jpeg or convert to png and sell your own version.

I think I understand why you phrased it like this, but using "at least" here might be read as implying that technical competence can excuse these issues. It can't. I can understand management being hesitant to fire someone te

One of the lessons you're eventually supposed to learn when designing consumer products is that you don't get to decide what "used correctly" means. If, in actual use , some people are leaving the key in the treadmill,

Yes, maybe change is a better term than degrade. The story was told in terms of the details in a memory changing a lot vs. remaining accurate.

I don't remember where I came across this (was probably some pop neuroscience blog or maybe radiolab), but there was some theory about how memories seem subject to degredaton when you recall them a lot, and less so when you don't.

Hm, I may have been wrong. [1] suggest that it was a Qt app on Linux at one point, but this source is old, and more recent ones suggest that they now use Electron. I don't actually use Spotify, so I'm not sure - perhaps not the be

I know they're separate lines and capacity is sold well in advance and all that, but this chip shortage still baffles me. A startup can tape out a 5 nm chip, but STMicroelectronics can't make any of their 40-130 nm microcontroller

It's possible for a monopolist to have a great product that allows people to do amazing things that were never previously possible and still be harming the consumer. Microsoft had the leading desktop operating system in the 90s that al

Oh I agree, this is definitely a tragedy-of-the-commons situation. I was mostly joking about the shaming bit because of all the sibling comments.

This disconnect is precisely why you can get a refund in the US but not in India. There's the "letter of the policy" interpretation, where anything the text of the policy doesn't explicitly forbid is A-Okay. And then the

Off the top of my head: VLC, Wireshark, MuseScore. None of the properties you mention are inherent to Qt... getting them right takes a lot of work regardless of which GUI toolkit you use. If thats the sort of thing you're looking for,

You raise a good point... essentially the same point I made earlier -- insulting people is as bad a strategy for changing behavior as yelling at them. If I were trying to get moralizing conservatives to agree with me, then not insulting the

To me, user accounts have always seemed like the more reasonable approach to sandboxing vs. cloning the universe to run a single program in a container. Most of my systems have a user for myself, and one or two other users like `sketchy` or

The photolithography machines that you need in order to pattern silicon for etching features smaller than ~20 nm or so are made by one company -- ASML. One machine is about the size of a house, costs >$100 million, and their order book i

I was seriously considering getting this one, but I just can't get over the fact that they're not including a charger with the latest version. Pure greed.

FWIW, I agree with you about the visceral recoil, thoughts about Hollywood practices not being ideal, etc. I'm not trying to claim that this state of affairs is good , just that it's basically identical to what we've had pre
