There's a lot of magic behind being able to write basic code and see the output on the screen. I hate setting up environments, even with a folder of templates I've assembled over the years. The most frustrating barrier to get to t

Reducing functionality is preventing adblocking, which is overwhelmingly the primary action of adblockers. Thus it is fair to state they are preventing adblockers.

Concern by those who own them or those speculating about those who own them? For me, range has never been a concern or issue for the last few years.

Twitter only had 23% of American adults using it before Musk's acquisition in 2021. Assuming these numbers haven't declined much in the past 2 years, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram would be substantially better platforms to crea

That’s assuming they didn’t develop the database in-house. If they concocted their own system, it very well could be that this data is in fixed-length records without much room for a quick fix. Regardless, it could eventually be done.

Mozilla isn't contributing anything impactful for the cause by reaching for low-effort headlines instead of putting in the work of a proper investigation.

Are you able to back this up? American individualism has existed for multiple generations, well before the rise of acceptance for atheism/agnosticism/“Nones”.

Considering their recent vehicle data analysis was focused more on invoking an emotional response with reporting on a skimming of privacy policies instead of providing concrete evidence for data misuse, I don’t trust Mozilla as a reliable a

I've worked behind the counter in a similar job to Starbucks while in high school and college. Shoes were not an end-all-be-all solution. Anti-fatigue mats helped significantly in my case.

In fairness, there’s also the misguided assumption that services cost nothing to host and ad revenue cannot possibly offset the costs.

I'd argue web search is the most underappreciated types of sites. There are a lot of functions on the web I can work around, but a quality search engine's usefulness ranges from time-saver to "critically important tool to fin

I'd be willing to bet the demographics of those on Hackernews aren't exactly in the "I'm using Linux because I cannot afford to use any other OS" crowd. It is the other way around. Linux users should be more vigilan

This depends on who you listen to. I listen to various sub-genres of EDM and find that Apple Music and Tidal carry almost all of my library. I've had issues where both Spotify and Tidal lose some songs for a few months but mysteriously

The fast-food drive-in chain Sonic is really dropping the ball on this. They're positioned perfectly for this model as the whole point of going to Sonic is to sit in your car while you order your food, wait for it to be delivered to yo

Well, monopolistic control is also counter-productive for an economy.

A project like this needs a strong, opinionated approach. I’ve seen too many wild “I wish Terraform did…” discussions with others to trust any form of democratic maintenance to work.

I disagree with this because intent is a significant factor to consider. If a person contributing online is incorrect but participates in good faith, refuting is a great way to continue the discussion in a healthy, constructive manner. If a

It’s not a scam, the spec sheets for each model of their phones are available online. It’s certainly an expensive phone, but the value holds decently for a few years anyways. Apple doesn’t hide that they want to push the “Pro” line and are

You cannot generalize the entirety of the US electrical system. This baseless pessimism runs counter to having any productive discussion on the issue. Each region is run differently and it’s incorrect to assume the same issues in parts of t

I'd be concerned if a neighborhood block's electrical infrastructure is fragile enough where even 12kW shared across multiple chargers poses a hazard. I don't like how these concerns only get raised about EVs and are seldom r

I don't understand what specifically is of concern here. Do you have exact examples? Some platforms publish a list of recommended guidelines which are effectively a standard. For example here's one from Apple about when and how to

Designing a generic competency test would be very difficult to do fairly. There are a lot of incentives to design a test that would disqualify judges on arbitrary political grounds.
