There can be a feature that is only tested on Windows and so is only enabled there. Does it make sense? Not really, but that can happen. Google does this everywhere, blocking features on browsers that are not Chrome.

by rplnt 10y ago
Google is doing this with many of their products. And has been for many, many years. Limiting features, blocking services, etc... based solely on user agent.

Dragon is only capable of crash-landing using its engines? I.e. there is not enough propellant, legs, etc... to do a soft landing? (not even considering take-off right now)

How long before github takes it down? Not trying to make fun of Github's record of "censorship", just that the Tetris Company is known to be active in protecting the game. Even mechanics, which is weird, but they are pretty s

Well it's a problem for thousands of employees of Microsoft, isn't it? We've had much smaller repository (10GB IIRC) and it really was annoying how long everything took, even with various caches and what not enabled.

It's used for longer distances, city to city, country to country. I wouldn't see it as the same market as Uber is in. Plus it's ride sharing, not "taxi" (as in driver rides only because you told him to).

I very much doubt big enterprise clients use the services at bitbucket.com. Standalone is where it is at, and BitBucket (previously Stash) is a worthy competitor to GitLab (which was pain to setup just few years back). Big companies usually

Good way to learn is to get a bicycle (borrow maybe?), remove pedals and cruise to build up confidence. Lower the seat, start at a flat ground and just push yourself (as kids do). Then you can move on a slight downhill to gain some speed an

Well nowadays it seems like EU is not going to survive as it is. Countries in the east seem to be more and more opposed to the idea of EU (some 1/4 - 1/3 of people IIRC). These are countries that most benefit from the EU, not only

I was once dismissing it for like 2 months before I accidentally accepted it. And Google is really shitty app publisher in more ways than this. Has anyone ever seen a meaningful changelog in any major app of theirs?

I like the idea, but I don't see the rule to stand if something of importance happens this week.

So you can't complain now? Microsoft is pushing its own (inferior) solution and making it harder for other vendors to compete. While we can debate whether it should be fine for them to do that, there are laws limiting monopolies from t

Who is the target audience for this? Why did they spend quarter of the video on colors? Why does it even matter? It made me feel like the device is probably not that spectacular if color is one of its main features.

I'm pretty spoiled when I automatically discard job postings that are in a remote part of city, some 30 minutes away on a bicycle.

I've used KDE when I used Linux as my main OS (I've since moved it into VM and use mostly command line). Not because it looked nice (it didn't), but the customization options were far ahead of Gnome (not to mention Gnome2 fel

Gnome (or is it Unity?) I have in my Fedora looks nice. Visually much beter than KDE. But it's like 50% empty space. Which is really, really bad. These screenshots look fine to me at the first glance.

I'm pretty sure Facebook would be covered if they decided not to pay, I doubt the developer even read the ToS, let alone understood it. But to the point, "steal" is to take something. If you didn't ever own it, I don&#x2

Ah, I see. It's not even in Sublime2 (there's only 2 by 2 layout). One full height column and one split does sound useful.

And they didn't steal it either. They just didn't pay it out yet, it says pending. And even if it was canceled or whatever, "steal" is not the right word since they were never his money to begin with.

VS Code, at least on Windows, doesn't have smooth scrolling enabled. Is that what you mean by choppy? It's definitely bad UX, lines just jumping around. I haven't found a way to enable it (very quick google told me nothing ei
