Are you sure something like Grammarly wouldn't work...? A LLM seems overkill for this, and error-prone too. Also... wouldn't it be helpful to be able to type faster, regardless? It's a skill that more than pays for itself ove

Ah, I didn't know the Leaf was particularly bad. Guess I was just unlucky / uninformed. Good to know! I'd love to get an EV someday.

I feel the same about Starlink, sadly. And unlike Tesla there are no real alternatives. Man, I wish Musk would just stay out of the limelight and enjoy his private life inventing new industries and taking the occasional Mars vacation or wha

May I ask what kind of car it is and where the road trips are from/to? The last time I rented an EV in the SF Bay Area (a year or two ago, a Leaf), I had trouble even finding enough charging stations just to get around the area, like f

Sorry, I get what you mean, but I was wondering if you might be willing to share some examples? I'm a frontend dev who occasionally hears this complaint from certain users. If there were some way to be more accommodating to them, I&#x2

Most developers I've met were actually similarly lazy... we just use Chrome on Mac, and don't really want to deal with VPNs unless our employers force us to. The last few Firefox holdouts also switched after running into various W

You can separately configure (to a large degree) the caching vs protection features, though.

You're collateral damage in the web's war against bots :( Unfortunately, I think the Cloudflare challenges are designed to filter out users similar to your profile... once you stray far enough from the norm, it just looks like a

Can't Musk just regulate that away now that he pretty much controls the government?

I'm actually kind of glad. Big tech has been paying way too much and driving up the costs of living for ordinary people. We've needed an adjustment for a while now.

Under that criteria, iMessage still counts (when it's not falling back to SMS). Messenger might still be used, but Facebook is generally falling out of favor with the younger generations... think they use Instagram and Discord more. Wh

What do you mean "apps"? Isn't the messaging app still an... app? Do you mean like proprietary networks/protocols that only one vendor can access? Even by that standard, you can reach half the country through iMessage a

Probably one... the stock messaging app? In the US, most people send and receive SMS text messages like it's still 1999.

Turo offers their own primary insurance, but not sure if it would extend to events like this.

Turo cars are typically owned by private individuals, are they not? (It's like Airbnb for cars.) Gotta suck to be the owner of one of those trucks. Both from an insurance standpoint (are terrorist acts covered?) and also as a "th

Keep in mind that I work in the web world, with small to medium businesses outside of FAANG, so that colors my perspective. But in my career, it's often been a stylistic choice (from me and others) to deliberately emphasize readability

The churn. Web apps aren't really THAT different from the PHP + AJAX (or Angular v1) days, but every 2 years we reinvent that whole system from scratch. It's tiring. A part of me still kinda wishes Microsoft (or some other single

Check the local papers, Meetup, etc. for events and community groups to join. Take public transit (if possible) to get a feel for the layout. Look at a bunch of maps, read some news stories, look at brochures, etc. Walk around a lot, hit up

On one hand, spammers can easily create accounts beforehand. On the other hand, it might discourage legitimate new members posting for the first time, like when they notice their work is highlighted here, or a long time lurker who feels emp

Why stop there? We could unite the world's governments and redirect all silicon manufacturing to Nvidia, and then work with Microsoft, Android, and Apple to give Sam Altman a personal backdoor into every personal device in the world. T

You can set up Steam Guard to use the mobile Steam app for auth instead. It's annoying as hell though and I wish they just supported normal OTPs.

Should be. Extensions generally have a lot more privilege. https://medium.com/@ddamico.125/intercepting-network-respons... Not sure how that will change with manifest V3 though. Instead of intercepting the request, you

Playwright is a headless browser automation framework. It lets you script browser actions in an offscreen window, simulating user activity in a real browser. It's not really the issue here though. If you want to capture real user auth

What about the same medicine and dosage available in both forms? Like a lot of over the counter painkillers or anti inflammatory drugs can be either/or. Is there any big difference between them?
