If the photographer uses the photos they created at your wedding as publicity on their website, or if they sold prints widely, or if they set up something like a stock photography business ... you and your spouse would be models/actors

Same. Sometimes I enjoy the translucent menus. They make the machine look "glossy" and expensive. But they're definitely harder to read than opaque flat ones. With "reduce transparency" on, it's better, but the

Nice, thanks. I'll use that when I upgrade. But I'm not going to upgrade whilst the back/next buttons are floating 3m above the window as suggested in that screen shot.

Off-topic... I wish Apple would bring back the white menubar background and the coloured logo. The white menubar makes the whole computer easier to use in a small but constant way. The coloured apple icon would suggest they no longer have t

This gives me a message "Unavailable Due to the UK Online Safety Act" which sounds like nonsense for a blog post, but IANAL. Can anyone summarise the post, or suggest why there'd be a reason my online safety is compromised by

Vercel recently spammed my work email with news about a local talk/webinar. On the one hand that's useful info (I'm a front-ender after all). On the other hand it's freaking creepy. I've been in this job three month

Party discipline contributes to the decline of democracy. It reduces the representation of opinions down to whomever sets the party line. Better than party discipline would be more effective intra-party debate, discussion, consensus process

I thought the same, about distractions, whilst watching the videos. Even the highlights and speckles at the edges of the icons grab your attention. It's the visual equivalent of running your finger over velcro: slip, catch, slip, catch

But it makes a radical difference to the quality of the answer. How is the LLM (or collaboration of LLMs) going to get all the useful context when it’s not told what it is? (Maybe it’s obvious in how MCP works? I’m only at the stage of occa

I've not used Tailwind yet, so please forgive me for not knowing how you achieve these things with it. As I understand it, you add a drop-shadow to an element by writing a bunch of classnames that hook into Tailwind and apply the style

Do you treat your JS and TS the same way, eschewing semantic clarity?

I’ve seen some evidence it hurts performance in JS, too. If you’re doing something “a lot”, like media qstreaming, or realtime updates, ordered params are likely faster. I agree with others that the destructuring is a nice syntax to read an

Country B starts doing shady stuff. Country A wants to differentiate itself from B, to retain its A-ness. If A imposes policies that match B's, A becomes more like B. B has exerted soft power over A, and is now in a stronger position t

I found Blade Runner 2049 painful to watch. The story is ok, but the presentstion, with its reliance on memes from the earlier film, ruins it for me. Also, the principle malevolent force is vacant and tepid. The story would have been bette
