Most people definitely find Windows 11 easier to use than XP, yes. That’s what the comically large click targets and icons are for.

Desert wind is crazy in the spring. It’s a shame because spring is the most beautiful season there, by far. Just a bit hard to sleep in the gale.

This is pretty interesting! Did you implement the DOCX support and rich-text editor from scratch? I’d be concerned about interoperability with other editors — a semi-compatible editor losing content/comments added by other software cou

That’s utter nonsense. How would that even work? Does gravity act differently in the “equatorial old world”?

You have absolutely no idea what caused this crash (which looks a lot like a bird strike) and yet you’re calling for people to be jailed.

Absolutely true in elementary/middle school, and even a bit in the early parts of high school and college (upperclassmen don't want anything to do with "freshmen"), but in the adult world, I don't think age gaps of

"Willingly" needs an update in the age of hidden and unreadable ToS agreements and data brokers. I willingly board a plane, which the airline takes to mean that I willingly agree to their contract of carriage, so I willingly hand

The demo on the page actually shows an interesting and worrying tendency of LLMs: even given a tool that can fuzzily search for a place by name, the LLM thinks it knows that "cal academy" is the California Academy of Sciences, and

I love a good em-dash, but this page overuses them (nearly 1:1 ratio of em-dashes to commas!) and puts them in places where they just do not belong.

Purchasing from data brokers in order to avoid getting a search warrant is just unambiguously against the Fourth Amendment, right? It’s amazing to me that this hasn’t been stopped by the courts.

The second one is unambiguously wrong. The first just looks kind of weird.

Is the number of em-dashes in this marketing copy indicative of the kind of output that the model produces? If so, might want to tone it down a bit.

Swift isn't quite as fast, because reference counting is inherently slower at runtime than the allocations/deallocations generated by the Rust borrow checker. On the other hand, Swift has (IMO) a much cleaner and less symbol-heavy

They switched the positions of the codename and version this time (macOS 15 Sequoia to macOS Tahoe 26). I'd give it one more version cycle until the codenames go away.

Neither does Kagi, at least fully. Customizations help a bit until you need to search for something outside your usual focus areas. Anyone who claims to have created a search engine that truly surfaces the best links and ignores SEO is lyin

In 2022, the NYC Subway budgeted about $0.75 per passenger-mile (and that was during Covid, when ridership was very low) [1]. You’re really overestimating how much public transit costs to run. Private vehicles are an extremely inefficient w

Public transit isn’t supposed to have a financial “ROI.” Are highways expected to turn a profit from tolls?

“Claude Composer” is just blatant trademark infringement. It sounds like an official Anthropic product.

SvelteKit for sure, and any other JS framework that uses the built-in Request class (which doesn’t check the Content-Type when you call json()). I don’t know the exact frameworks, but I consume a lot of random undocumented backend APIs (web

That’s just not that big of a restriction. Anecdotally, very few JSON APIs I’ve worked with have bothered to check the request Content-Type. (“Minimal” web frameworks without built-in security middleware have been very harmful in this respe
