This is why I'm telling you this is subjective, as much as you'd like to reduce it to some "objective" criteria. I broke my wrist a few years ago, and since then typing on anything without key wells is a bad idea. I&#x27

All three of these are dwarfed by key wells (i.e. do the keys sit in an indentation, or do you have to tilt your wrists upwards?) for me. It's always subjective.

In strongly typed languages like Rust, composing smaller libraries is usually quite painless, so you don't need a large framework. Personally for backend Rust I use rouille[0] for the server (it's very simple and async-free), aska

That's great, if your account type is already completely linked up, migrated, synced, logged in on your phone etc.

This is false. They evolve over time and you get pushed into various mandatory migration and linking/unlinking steps. By the way, this kind of thing is in no way particular to Facebook - our entire industry has this much disrespect for

I hate this kind of apologism. "It's all very simple if you're an industry expert following $company's every move!" There is no way to use all features of a Quest without logging in _at least_ twice (once on a phone

You still have to deal with a complicated web of accounts and apps, converting your "Oculus" account to a "Horizon" account to unlink your Facebook from your Meta or whatever (who knows!). I have a Quest (1 and 2 actuall

With Javascript disabled (I've configured it to be opt-in in my browser) this page renders completely blank. Is that due to the framework, or is it something related to the hosting method used here?

Intuitively I found it not that hard to believe that the number of people who just google "pepper" to find something about the fruit or spice is fairly small. However, a Google Trends query[0] (limited to the USA) indicates that t

I don't think it's "think more about" but "want to see that result for this query", those are slightly different things. Given that many people navigate the internet by typing the name of the site they want int

Yes, but it's easy to get overwhelmed during that explosive growth phase and, well, see the Steve Jobs anecdote about "A players". Once the damage is done it's hard/impossible to undo.

It seems to me that once your middle management is infested with the wrong kind of non-tech people (because you couldn't resist "growing" forever), you don't stand a chance anymore. To me it seems this is what happened t

They already know that major breaches of trust with Germany etc. have no effect. Why care now?

The US is the only actor that makes any sense to me, especially after Blinken's statement yesterday (~ "it was in nobody's interest, but would you look at the benefits!"). Combine that with the US naval activity in the e

No, of course not, but there's plenty of apologists that will show up and tell you that these companies are actually very important because replicating their enormous "domain knowledge" or whatever is impossible. Nevermind th

I got an official Apple one and couldn't get it to work with any of my devices (I don't have any other Apple devices, so maybe they do have a DAC but it only works with their devices?). It exhibited the same behaviour as the DAC-l

I suppose you own a car and solve all your personal logistics by driving (presumably in the US). That's a compromise I would not want to make just to get rid of the phone (a car seems much more annoying to deal with!)

No, but the thing is that for the majority of people nowadays this is normal and unsurprising. If you don't have a phone, a lot of things become unavailable and 99% of people (maybe even more!) don't consider that strange. You can

Maybe it's more noticeable because this phone has a really tiny battery, but yeah. I actually went through a few adapters to find one that worked, because some of them (e.g. the one Apple makes) actually only wire up a DAC inside the p

I've been trying to wean myself off phones completely since the demise of the SE, but life in Moscow without a phone is basically impossible (taxis, deliveries, electric scooters, bikes etc. all become pretty much unavailable). As a co

Makes sense that one of the most safety focused manufacturers would go for it.
