   You're right, Office documents were essentialy a memory dump, but only for Office <= 95 if I recall correctly. Starting from Office 97, they switched to an improved .doc, .xsl, etc. file format (even though it was still binary). Tha

   And if I'm not wrong, it still applies to today's Mac interface. The cursor still has a white outline all around.

   I mean, the "OpenAI" name itself has surely been chosen for its ambiguity.

   No, that's just a disclaimer to prevent people from randomly installing it without thinking about consequences. If you actively manage your Immich instane, and regularly read the Changelog before updating it, then you'll be fine.

   Also in Italian. "Mezzogiorno" both means noon and south.

    Trust me, I'm tech savvy but I tried Calibre once and I couldn't figure it out, so I just gave up.

    I tried EasyDMARC in the past [1], it's easy to use but the free plan is very limited and the cheapest plan is a bit too pricey for me. [1] https://easydmarc.com/

    Hey.com has a similar function called "The Feed", but it's a paid email service.

    It says it's available if you're using a Google account that has downloaded the app in the past. If you open it in incognito, it gives 404.

    "Spaghetto" is completely a real thing, in Italian at least! "Uno spaghetto" (one), "due spaghetti" (two) and so on...

    From daisyUI home page: > instead of writing 100 class names, use semantic class names ?!? That defeats the whole purpose of Tailwind, which is not writing any semantic class name. I don't get it.

    I think Windows now does it as well, but of course (as all things Windows) it works only in very few apps (forget Win32 ones, for example).

    Very interesting! It could've also been a choice made not to repeat "code" which already appeared in the "open source" expression.

    His blog is the best, especially when he talks about ancient versions of Windows. He talk about obscure details, but they're so interesting because they give you insight on how things were made!

    I love PHP and I think it's one of the best languages. But I can't stand WordPress. It's written like we're still in the PHP 4 age.

    > so maybe their codebase has evolved too. Unfortunately, not so much. They still follow PHP 5-days style, for example they still haven't adopted the short array syntax [], they always use array() which is horrible in my opinion. Th

    I love NetNewsWire on my Mac, but I also use Linux and Android, so I'd love if there was something as perfect as NetNewsWire on those platforms!

    WordPress sucks if you're writing a custom theme or plugin. Their codebase is old and it follows outdated standards (e.g.: they use array() instead of []... in 2023, really?). But , if you're using WordPress to publish a simple w

    People don't understand how much RSS is useful... I'm still angry at Google for killing Reader. It was the best way to consume content on the web.

    I agree about Laravel and Taylor Otwell. Moreover, I'd like to point out that even if the vast majority of PHP-backed websites are based on WordPress, WordPress is not an example of good PHP practices at all. Its code-base and coding

    Why? Gmail is one of the most used webapps in the world, surely it shows its age, but it's doing its job pretty well, and way better than all the other commercial webmail clients I've tried.

    Semi-off topic, but do you recommend using both uBlock and Pihole? I'm currently a uBlock user (on Firefox), and I was thinking of setting up a Pihole. Thanks!

    I agree. The Visual Editor has simplified editing Wikipedia pages from a technical standpoint, but at the same time lowering the bar to edit pages also lowered the quality of many of those edits, making moderation even more difficult. It&#x

    I agree, most SPA's are very poorly designed. But others work so well that you don't even notice it. Random examples: Gmail, Notion.
