Seems to be a US Navy thing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655#Potential_... ). On a more serious note, there's a big difference between a vehicle like a car that is operated by one person, and a sh

Story time. I find myself to be pushing a stroller around a lot these days, and the number of times where I have to wait behind some obstacles to make place for another stroller, kids, someone in a wheelchair, a blind person, old people wit

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion at all, but it's still just victim blaming. People are run over on sidewalks, cyclists on cycling paths or just standing at red lights. There's basically only one type of road us

I haven't seen this before, that's awesome! But even there I feel like the cookie banner at least offers some benefit to me, whereas all the other modals asking to send me notifications, subscribe to stuff, register here, follow u

Something about correlation and causation comes to my mind. When you start an article listing all the known causes and they all relate to a high income (people in cities have more money, people in richer countries have more money, people wi

About flying cars, I don't think they are a solution to almost anything. First of all, they'd always need more energy because staying in the air doesn't come free. Lifting a whole car for the usual 1.2 people in it seems wast

The complicated part (visualising the number of passengers on the correct paths) was done well, but I'm really missing the simple part: Placing a little marker where the initial station is located.

Does 10 really have less ads and telemetry, though? 10 is still getting updates and a lot of annoying "features" seem to get back ported (like the "fact of the day" thing in the search bar that always opens Bing), and I&

I can only second this. I honestly had the best time of my (professional) life when I had a little room with the rest of my team. Asking quick questions in such an environment is also not that much of a disturbance because most people are w

So, how are desktop apps supposed to solve any of the identified downsides of the app? > Too much bloat as one software must cater to everyone’s needs. Yes, maybe, but especially web apps are usually quite focused on a limited feature se

I had a hard time reading the example until I applied the "normal" JS indentation, that would also likely be applied by Prettier and the likes. V(greeting, // initial value "hi" V(capitalize)

As someone who has worked a lot with geo data and delivered them to end users, this here is just the tip of the iceberg. Languages are already quite political, but maps and all their borders and city names are much worse. Some borders are d

What the article doesn't mention, maybe because it's not a global thing yet, is that non-reclining seats have been introduced in the last year. On flights within Europe I haven't had a reclining seat in ages, no matter whethe

No, that's really not the case. Facebook's reputation is not good at all here (in Europe), whereas people are shilling for Apple all the time. It's just really nice to have a messenger that is not tied to a hardware platform,

I don't know why everbody keeps bringing this up. They could have called Windows 11 Windows 10 Gold Edition or whatever to keep the "10" in the name, but frankly we should all be thankful that they didn't.

Ironically, macOS already shows an error message when an account is not using iCloud. Using both macOS and Windows 11 on an almost daily basis, they are really not that different when it comes to nagging users. Both show full-screen display

Pretty sure this day is today. It probably doesn't matter much on a personal device, but my company-issued test and dev iPhone has several "unread" suggestions that I can't seem to remove.

If the screenshot in the article is any indication of what is to come, they at least didn't change the design language again and there is no indication of a new UI framework. Applications that work and look good in Windows 11 are likel

You do need an Apple account to use the App Store on macOS, unlike on Windows. With the App Store being the only place to download XCode, which in turn is required to use all the good stuff like Homebrew, the result for me and probably most

I agree with anything you said. At this point I'm already happy when the media doesn't try to praise drones (Volocopter, Lilium, Joby, ...) as the ultimate solution to our traffic problems, unfortunately.
