There is a huge blindspot, I've noticed, where people mistake familiarity for ease of use (and other qualities too). Of course familiar things are easy and comfortable, but this thought doesn't seem to occur to most. Software usab

Target audience is a big factor too, I think the article failed to emphasize this. And, secondly, the nature of what is being documented. Do you remember when there used to be entire sections of bookstores dedicated to books like "Lear

There was actually a version of this for the Spectrum (48K) which I played a lot! In retrospect that is probably the most impressive port, in the "there's no way this machine could handle this!" sense.

Thanks! I once read this article and could never find it again. The screenshots here are second to none for showing why the quest to reproduce CRT rendering is so important for preservation efforts. Without it graphics from this era simply

Oh, I've run into this a bunch of times. Once you figure out "OutOfMemoryException" just means "misconfigured a plaintext listener for an SSL listener", it's no big deal. We never actually investigated, but my

Same here. I would have expected the OR an IN versions to generate the same query plan, it's seems like low hanging fruit for the query optimizer.

That's why there's a UI affordance for it: look at the bottom of the suggestions list. These are just power user shortcuts.

I wouldn't call the term proxy war a narrative. It's a term with a definition, which applies here. This is also a "both things can be true" case. Obviously the supporters of a proxy war are allies of the party they'

Both things can be true. Yes, Russia is 100% responsible for this war, and yes, the US (and others) are fighting a proxy war through Ukraine in good old cold war style.

That's not how it works. Companies with global presence (like these 2) need to have regulatory permission in every jurisdiction where they operate. If a jurisdiction forbids the merger then they would no longer be able to operate there

Thank $deity someone did. Microsoft owning both the biggest platforms and the biggest publishers is a glaring example of what anti-trust regulations should exist to prevent. Every anti-trust regulator in the world would have auto-blocked th

A call is more reliable. Furthermore if a call can't be placed the originating system is aware of this immediately, and can proceed accordingly (e.g. move to the next person in line). This isn't the case for any other notificati

Yeah, I suspect the reason DDC (and EDID) are so bad is that they're not critical for the monitor to perform its basic function, so there's no "evolutionary pressure" to improve it.

Oh I'm definitely trying this. I currently have kb shortcuts defined for brightness up/down that invoke ddcutil. This really ought to be built into every OS. From what I've read, the catch is that DDC implementations are ofte

Wow, didn't see this coming. Though, in retrospect, it's not obvious what value Amazon was getting from running a parallel store. As a customer this sucks. The website was a much better experience than amazon, and the free shippin

In the case of Portugal I can confirm you are correct - the non-compliance is due to legislative incompetence, not dissent.

AMD drivers are not more stable. They are however open-source and included in the kernel, which has both advantages and disadvantages: - AMD has better support for the "blessed" Linux 3D stack. This manifests itself as more mature

I noticed this too starting with 21.10 (I think?), and it eventually bothered me so much I went looking for answers and found out about this. This was an unusually badly communicated change. I'm fairly attentive to this type of stuff a
