That really is a great example, but it's very noticeable that you both went into it with the perfect attitude (and maintained an awareness that each had different needs & goals). It's the "Veruca Salt" case that&#x27

"clean room" reverse engineering really benefits from the room being clean. I'm not sure how much this applies to Asahi's efforts, but if you're working on reactos or wine, having been exposed to microsoft's s

If it's obstructionism it's passively so. They've done nothing to actively obstruct. They've also done nothing to help. When they say they don't support it they're not kidding, they don't just mean capi

From listening to their podcasts / twitter spaces it sounds like they're building machines from the ground up. I get the impression they'd hate the analogy, but an apple style take on owning the hardware and software together

I've never had a problem walking around trams, they're incredibly predictable. And horses (as vehicles) are the level of intelligence we're hoping to get self-driving vehicles back to - they don't actually want to run y

I'm assuming they were showing an example of a regex that will match a list of terms, and the sheer quantity of terms (rather than the initial presence of) weighted its score heavily. It's a little unfortunate, but 3 days isn&#x27

I could swear I've seen illustrations of such concepts. In the same theme as circular runways and having runways balanced across the tops of city skyscrapers. The "moving platforms" concept seems to come up quite often, ala

I think that's when they were part of ebay. ebay used to side strongly with the purchaser, even when the issue was obviously insane (don't get me started). Paypal has always been a hive of scum and villainy, and now they're

I heard they use the entire 'crates' repository as test-cases for breaking changes. If that's accurate, the backwards-compatibility is commendable. Forward-compatibility is near-impossible. Obviously it'd help if new c

Its still useful for its original purpose - especially if your phone has the UWB stuff so you can play the "warmer, warmer" game. Just one less trick up its sleeve.

I'm in Ireland, they seem pretty popular here. Especially with those who are barely old enough to buy them. Personally I'd be comfortable seeing them banned - for the same reason we banned the sale of individual cigarettes. Thei

That's the issue - two spots, but instead of maintaining a 128GB part for 2x128, they're shipping 256 as 1x256. I can see the logic, they're not maintaining a whole part/inventory just for the lowest config. I'll l

I used to work a job where we did a follow-the-sun model, so not only do I not drive, I'm not even in the US - but I did answer a US 877-number for part of the day. We'd get one or two of these calls per month. I don't think

"preach". RAM is sort of relevant to this though. Clock speed is base10. Line speed is base10. Storage is base10. But ram is base2, because it's almost always constructed as a grid. Tapes are essentially unitless, how long i

Until that return policy fights back too. That's a learning experience. I got in a fight with them because I ordered an SSD, I received a box containing brown packing paper. When I wanted a refund or replacement, they wanted me to re

That was my first thought - the only logical way I could see for step 3 would be to pay for people's parking.

It looks like it'd work pretty well if you're listening to them at the same site - so comments are tagged with the timestamp, soundcloud-esque. I can kinda see the logic - unfortunately sitting in front of my computer is my least

I grew up in the UK, before I moved to the US. In the UK, I was taught that a solid punch was the solution to bullying. I fear the issue in the US is just a very disturbing take on a solid punch. You're relentlessly taught through fi

Apple's position seems to be that most people don't need the tools at all - 80% of the US lives within 20 minutes of an AASP, and frankly rural people know fine well they need to drive further to reach services like this (it used

The irony is that the garage is doing a fantastic job up until that point. If someone is so clueless about changing a tyre that the best place they can start is google, then organically taking them to the garage's page is a win. Maybe

I still think it's worth pointing out. I do believe this is the first purple article I've seen on medium, so I don't believe purple is a limitation of the platform.

I think it's the opinion of many, even if they don't realise it. The term "iPod-killer" just dropped out of usage overnight - the iPhone was the iPod-killer, an accomplishment which turned out to be so far down its CV t

It's a nice idea in theory, but only in theory. So the idea as I understand it is that tickets as NFTs would allow you to prove your ownership of the ticket. With tickets being increasingly electronically-issued, there's currentl

Naming it does make it much easier to find community, resources, etc. A lack of nouns makes me poor google-fu. There does seem to be a blurry and moving line between "homelab" and "selfhosting" though, which doesn'
