I mean that's a feature of running your community as a bazaar. The one thing Linus himself sensibly enforces though is kernel backwards compatibility - "we do not break userspace".

Microsoft managed to build office online, which saves to DOCX etc. - the online version may have reduced functionality, but you can edit the same document with the full office at work and the browser version at home and it won't mess t

Which the only sensible decision to make a transition away from MS Office!

I have a feeling it splits by gender. I know a couple of professional programmers in that corner of the alignment chart, but they're not "bros".

The whole age verification thing is being pushed by one "techbro", because he wants others to deal with cleaning up his mess.

I had the same experience as the next 100 or so commenters here. Asked about how to do something in Win11, got the question closed as a duplicate because there was already a Win 8 version with an answer that no longer applied. But apparentl

I can't speak for speed, but foreign keys and data type checking are on by default.

I think the OP wants duckdb. The first two points are deliberate SQLite design decisions so they're unlikely to change.

My money is still on ARM. They, and their clients who produce the actual processors, have options to fight back if RISC-V ever becomes a serious competitor for, say, smartphones.

In what way do nurses and carpenters not contribute to a functioning democracy?

I would not underestimate the power of a fully mobilized USA. If we really need to, we can do a lot of things that would die to bureaucracy in peacetime - see WWII.

I don't think it's the javascript alone - what if sites don't want a third-party AI sitting between them and their customers?

Quote of the day from a post linked to by this one: "When we opened up the server, we found no NVMe SSDs, no RAM, and especially no processors, which did rather explain the failure to power on."

What is the US legislation on this - I thought providers were already mandated to take action against distribution of CSAM, or is that only for public-facing posts?

This is about 1.0, which sounds ok - it basically allows providers a legitimate exception from data privacy laws to scan for CSAM in not E2EE communications. I reckon gmail, iCloud mail and the like already scan attachments for malware an

The Sony one led to legal action and penalties. Also Microsoft themselves released an update that kicked the rootkit out.

I guarantee you, if your product is a mobile app, you're excluding more than 2% of the population.

"all" would be troubling indeed. I hope that someone can discover the mechanism, and whether it's depending on any settings like "Share browsing data with other Windows features" or any other settings.

There's a famous post by Erik Hoel that calls the human version of this Aristocratic Tutoring [1] (Scott Alexander is unconvinced [2]). In the 1980s, a researcher called Benjamin Bloom claimed a z=2.0 (that is 2σ) advantage for a combi

As far as I know, replications showed an effect size that's still pretty amazing by educational standards but nowhere near z=2.0 (I think z=0.6 is the current best guess).

It's probably chance, but this post is at the top of HN right next to https://weli.dev/blog/half-baked-product/ . Seems like you don't need to be a young startup founder to get your dough in a twist.

At some point, RAM arbitrage will be profitable at small scale: buy a complete PC, rip the RAM out, dump the rest and resell online.
