If you're a large commercial software house, with $$$$$ of revenue riding on things working/being able to develop features quickly the usual "contact support, tell them about issue, wait for fix" flow can cost you a lot

Azure DevOps is totally down too, to the extent that I can't even git push to a remote hosted there (get a 503 response). Something very critical has fallen over. Edit: I don't think this is for everyone though - maybe only if you

It seems like this is macOS only? It's not really explicitly spelt out - you just have to work it out through context clues (screenshots showing macOS borders, "macOS Ventura is 'recommended'"). I can definitely see

Large orgs are often biased towards spending money for things as well rather than being inclined to use free stuff like individual developers tend to. Anecdotally I've experienced a number of times some exec has proudly announced the

I think this depends on what you're storing though. Business documents, accounting records, family photos - sure you probably want to keep them safe. But if my NAS is just 20TB of pirated movies and TV shows (not that I'm saying i

Stick a slick UI that lets the end user quickly fix up just the bits it got wrong and flip through documents quickly and 80% correct can still be a massive timesaver.

It feels a little bit like a James Mickens rant, but not as funny (not a jab at the author of this, James Mickens is just really funny).

I agree, but it doesn't seem any more obvious than the same being true for transport, healthcare, decent education etc and government funding for those is immensely unpopular with a large portion of the population. Edit: sure, I&#x27

I'm not arguing that gas stations are horribly inconvenient or anything like that. I'm just pointing out that with EVs you don't have to do anything at all . We're quibbling over very small amounts of inconvenience with

As someone who owns an EV I'm 100% okay with spending an extra 30 minutes eating lunch somewhere with a fast charger when I'm likely on vacation and don't really care about time when what I get in return is more convenience t

Repeating another comment further down - an EV is like an ICE that just magically has a full tank of gas again every morning. All the comments on here calling them inconvenient seem to be either people who are clutching at straws because th

by p1necone 2y ago
Yeah but you're at a gas station for that stop (and you had to drive there). Charging an EV at home at night involves approximately 10 seconds to plug the car in followed by going inside, eating dinner, watching tv, going to sleep et

Anecdotally - probably not that many. I have a 2018 leaf with ~220km of range on a full charge, and my commute is about 20km each way. We probably travel far enough to actually need a fast charge maybe once every 6 months or so? It will cha

The term "Ultra Processed Food" is basically undefinable in any sort of sensible way, and because of that appears to just be used by the layman synonymously with "unhealthy food". Trying to find out whether "Ultra P

Why do you need to target one person who has thousands of machines? What if I just want to pwn whatever random machines visit my dodgy website? Dismissing an exploit just because it only works some fraction of the time seems overly optimist

Yeah, when you don't have anything to compare them with you need to describe them. But once you have some strong candidates to compare them with everyone just becomes "are they better or worse than X".

"very far away" isn't accurate - the A770 is pretty close to a 4060 - perfectly adequate for 1080p/1440p 60fps gaming on high settings in modern titles.

Intel's ARC gpu's keep improving with driver updates, if they ship another generation I can see them eventually properly disrupting the current duopoly.

Building your backend/s and frontend/s in the same language makes keeping your data model, api inputs/outputs and business validation consistent much simpler and easier.

Everything Apple makes is ultimately still meant to be practical. I feel like the Apple car would be more like "Corolla, but very high end, and 3x the price" rather than a supercar.
