Malls (shopping centres here in Australia) are terrible experiences. I don't like shopping, but the general process for shopping at a such a place is: 1) Drive some distance to get there 2) Park in a cramped car park, where the size of

Not really. The revival for me was due to agadmator on youtube but obviously I only started seeing his videos once they were popular and I dont know the cause of that (other than the quality of the channel of course!) But Queens Gambit did

A 65yo still has on average 10 to 20 years to live. Further they are often grandparents and today's "two working parents" economy is built on thinga like unpaid childcare from many grandparents. Also they are people.

Yes, this is the point. For example, I want a phone where I can send faked GPS data to apps that request GPS permissions (and so on).

Great points. "Move fast and break things" is for new companies that don't have people relying on them. People who use this saying to keep moving forward should be aware of the fact that Facebook no longer use this ( ). I&#x2

I have a document outlining to my (non-technical) wife where all the secret keys can be found, and some suggestions on friends to contact for help using them.

For static pages, the "front-of-front-end" developer is broadly the "web designer" and does CSS most of the time. As JS sites get more complicated, those buttons need behaviour which is generally also that person's

When folding the washing, I don't make sure the t-shirts / pants / etc are the "right way out", reducing the already heavy burden on the folding server, and pushing that work onto the less heavily burdened clients.

Do you have a good resource for how web 3 would work? All I read is hyperbole and "could be"s but I am looking for actual concepts of how it would work. Any ideas?

The other comment has it, but two ways to think about it. "If I have one glass of water I might have another. Then another. And so on until I drown myself." The main one though is assuming the parties cant adjust course part way t

I'd argue it is sneaky to put the competitor's name first, as most people will click quickly to move on to the website.

The other reply was on the money (i.e. people would take different days), but also don't let the threat of "if everyone did it, something bad would happen" stop the immediate gains during such a transition. If your scenario

Lots of new players that join up, drop their ELO points into the "bag" and then leave (or if online, sign up new accounts). ELO "points" aren't a finite resource.

I should also add, that I don't know how all that bull "you aren't buying a product, you are buying a license" stuff plays into it. It might render what I've just said as wrong the case of software.

There is no time limit in law. If its a physical good, it is expected that it degrades over time, so you can't take, say, your washing machine back after that period of time and demand your money back. Further, the law doesn't dic

You can probably get a full refund in Australia, as the product is no longer fit for purpose. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get the money though.

My Mum enrolled me in a typing course as a 13yo, and it was the most boring thing you could have done to a 13yo. Now, however, I'm a fast typist and that course was the bridge between previously hunting and pecking, to proper touch t

I don't know, but I've read that the counter here is that YouTube's system isn't actually DCMA - they are pursuing copyright over and above that system, and therefore the "protections" in DCMA don't apply

Well, if the phone book gets too big, we can always add a unique human readable name to each, and then synchronise everyone's phone book world wide so everyone can share their notes. People could apply to have a human readable name ass

This makes sense, but the Database seems to work mostly like a normal python dictionary. From that perspective, it would be easy to replace with a different solution if required (not trivial, but not hard).

Yup, the use case of PDFs is "export to PDF and check it immediately before sending to the printer". All other use cases of PDF are better served by other formats.

In the long run, it's worse to make overstating claims because it undermines trust in the original message. The main criticism of conspiracy theorists (pick you brand) is that they do not follow the evidence trail. If you want to be on
