If someone tells me x86, I am certainly thinking 32-bit protected mode not 64-bit long mode... Granted I'm in the weird space where I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to keep me up-to-date with idiomatic naming conventions.

You don't understand why someone who uses Firefox specifically because of its stance on privacy would be upset that the ToS are being updated to be "basically [the] same language as Chrome's"? Chrome, as in Google, the b

Vim takes me to the first character in the line (the first tab), but displays the cursor on the last gridsquare the tab's width covers.

I've usually heard it as "If it helps but doesn't entirely solve the problem, try doing more of it." rather than trying more even if it doesn't seem to be doing anything. (See this Zvi post: https://thezv

StarCraft is a lot more fun to watch than SupCom though.

I'm definitely hoping for matte-black too, but the two things I'm actually blocking on are a trackpoint (I realise this is probably not happening) and availability in my country.

I mean, personally I think AI model training makes the world worse, so it's a pretty reconcilable set of views.

What is and isn't used comes down to the person, so it's pretty hard to factor in. Certainly in my city most bikes I see people out and abouton are not electric.

Whatever arcane configuration is required to disable dynamic contrast seems to get regularly reset with Windows updates (although this may be a graphics card driver vendor issue -- nevertheless). No, Windows, I don't want you to turn t

But if you can mint arbitrarily many NFTs of a given URL it doesn't show provenance of the linked image, just of that particular NFT of it.

Hacker News moderators getting overwhelmed by AI spam sounds bad to me, to be honest.

This has not really changed. There are negative consequences we should accept, such as criticism and disagreement, and negative consequences we should not, such as an online mob getting you fired from your job or the government sending goon

If you look at the term, one thing is obvious. If you look at the way it is applied, another thing is obvious. In general, just looking at terms might give you a very flawed understanding of such things as the Democratic Republic of the Con

My standard strategy for installing StarCraft (at LAN parties I often had to do it a few times in a row) was just to mash the keyboard a few times until I got through. It usually took somewhere between five and ten tries, in my experience.

They have a trackpoint, so there's basically no other option. Sadly the build quality and repairability has gone down, which used to be the other big selling point. Also Macbooks are way uglier, but that will probably be disputed :P

That sounds like the Android nonsense where your data ends up "living inside" a particular application, though.

My expectation for a no-assigned-seat group ticket is that we should be seated together but not anywhere particular (front/back, window/aisle, whatever).

I for one am completely uninterested in AI-generated "art" (including writing, music, etc) because of the lack of a human who is communicating something. I'm concerned it will be increasingly difficult to tell what is worth m

While I will say that our Ubiquiti AP seems to work, configuring it was hell. It involved the management app installing its own nginx instance on my laptop, and then it makes a weird differentiation where if something's a guest network
