You make a valid point, but it’s also worth considering how the stakeholders’ interests align with your own. Apple is in the premium hardware and value added services business, so its interests are aligned with mine with regards to privacy

It has a TLS certificate for the Yahoo Store domain if you browse to the https:// version, but I agree that PG should add something easy like Let's Encrypt or put it behind Cloudflare. It's been "modernized"

Garbage collection should make apps written in Go less memory-leaking and less buggy than those written in C, no?

I think it's possible to bemoan the environmental impact without being a Luddite who would prefer "the good old days of relative poverty". Your other points are valid and it's certainly clear why manufactured electroni

I can't recommend directory-level encryption when full-disk encryption is so easy these days. It's a few clicks in the Fedora installer or a few commands with Arch Linux. It comes out of the box on new MacBooks and most new Window

Chromium has no auto-updater on Windows and macOS. Unless you have a package manager that compiles updated versions for you, you're better off using Chrome.

This is a fairly recent change on “platform” sites like Medium, Twitter, and GitHub. It’s quite nice for browsing the history, in my opinion. I like how HN keeps getting minor improvements like these without a big redesign.

The inside is near room temperature most of the year, but not when it gets down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit (or about -30 Celsius) regularly here. Some amount of ice seems to form on the bottom of the bedroom window any time that the temperat

Ice still forms on the inside of my well-insulated, double-paned windows most nights during the (Minnesota) winter with the thermostat set for 66 or 67 degrees Fahrenheit. I've always thought it was the condensation freezing from humid

At least it's trivial to hit the "open desktop site" button, although the page isn't very comfortable to use on iOS.

Yep! This is exactly what I do. With Google Takeout, I don't have to worry about data loss if I get locked out of my account or other issues like that.

by snazz 6y ago
Okay, that is a valid point. There's clearly a lot of unnecessary overhead with the expand button in issues.

You're right, but to add a datapoint, I've done a few phone trade-ins that never included power adapters/accessories. Just the handset itself.

I just measured 1.36 MB total transfer for a full reload on GitHub.com. Five avatars were cached in memory; their total size was under 1 MB. I'm using Safari 14.0. Do you have any measurements (maybe on another browser) that show GitHu

Cell carriers try to optimize for places with the highest population densities, so they focus on faster speeds in cities over slower speeds everywhere. It's a fine balance.

That does sound like a Windows bug. In that case, disregard my previous message.

Ah, that's another good point. Turning your head happens a lot more in street driving than racing.

by snazz 6y ago
I think the other reason that street cars don't use five-point harnesses (and why using them is illegal in most states) is that they immobilize your shoulders and neck too well, which makes rollovers more dangerous without a roll cage.

Your monitor might have an audio out port. That's why my monitor is the default sound output when I have my Mac connected. It doesn't sound like a Windows bug unless your monitor is actually incapable of outputting sound at all. I

Some people with particularly bad spending habits use debit cards as a way to enforce self-control, but there are probably much better ways of achieving that. Teenagers also use them when paying with their own money because you can't h

Without getting into the argument of whether any speech is apolitical or whether politics belongs in the workplace, Twitter clearly has a huge place in politics as a result of its nature as the premier social media platform for world leader

Doesn't Gmail load and proxy all external images anyway? Am I remembering wrong? Of course, not everyone uses Gmail, but if it loads all images whether or not they're opened, tracking pixels are much less useful.

Although I haven't verified this myself—I'm not much of a Rust wizard—I've heard that Rust's type system and borrow checker allows you to spend less time total, because your debugging time drops significantly.

I'll only talk about healthcare here, because this could degenerate into a flamewar otherwise, and I want to avoid that. Also, I'm no expert on politics, economics, or healthcare, so I'm open to any corrections. I'll try

It seems like they mean that the Frama-C maintainers only use (and vendor) dependencies that they are comfortable maintaining themselves.

This is quite literally the first time I heard about Google rebranding G Suite—and I'm the super admin for my org. It seems very strange that I didn't get any emails or anything from Google about rebranding their product. Edit: I

Zola is worth mentioning because it is very similar to Hugo in most ways.

It works fine in Python. It's nice because the visual indentation lines up with how the interpreter actually reads the code. You don't end up in a situation like this contrived example: if (something == somethingElse) doSo
