I guess those are Stihl models? I think you're overestimating the inconvenience of a small engine. It's possible that I'm underestimating the convenience of a battery... I do have an old-school bias probably. But if I were

The point still needs to be made. I always present security as a sliding scale with secure on one side and convenient on the other. Similar to low-cost and convenient streaming services reducing piracy, and then seeing the return of pi

I think you can prevent a lot of revolt by just finding a way of putting this other than "software engineer output" should be held to standards. The whole point of this article is that the individual is not the problem. Rather

Most of my vacations in the last several years have been to do with state parks in the Southeastern US. We've been to several in Georgia, Alabama, and North and South Carolina. In a lot of these cases, we would stage at one park (or

Any system of standards and testing can be gamed. It's better for the average person to better educate themselves on purchases. I don't know how realistic this is. Additional difficulty is added by the amount of (mis/dis)i

Sometimes I use voice for search. My primary use-case is creating reminders. For this I use (of course), the microphone in the search bar. I guess I'll have to find the next best way. Maybe it will end up being better.

I apologize; I didn't mean to imply anything about ALL of anything. My main complaint is that the things that are not bullshit on the internet have largely been buried beneath bullshit for a long time.

Before the "AI" takeover, it was already full of SEO-mandated human-generated bullshit, so we haven't actually lost that much in the last couple of years. I've been saying it for almost as long as I've been in the

I assume it has to do with disclosing the nature of the Chatbot, as with "Powered by ChatGPT" in the tweeted screenshots.

This seems an extremely strange coincidence to me, since I haven't often noted the extremely bright, redish star in Orion's shoulder, but I did last night, at about 10:00 PM EST. I don't suppose any brightening effect would

Yep, super easy, just pay the content creators in beans and peanuts.

So you have plenty, that's cool. Believe me, there are plenty of us out here that are feeling the crunch right now.

Yes, but price is definitely a part of the service. This one is easy for me: Disney jacks prices by 80%, people decide not to pay for it.

No doubt 25% of those are still on PHP 5.6 or older.

I'm not sure what there is to learn, if you have a good working knowledge of Linux servers. This is exactly why I prefer the terminal to any of the GUI components that may exist. Much more stable interface. As far as programs that I

About 15 years ago I received the advice, "If you want to be hacker, stop using Windows and start using Linux." Today, I am well aware that this is not the only path to enlightenment, but I count it as some of the best profession

I feel like I could have written this exact comment. Most arguments just aren't worth it. You have to know that the other person has this same approach (willingness to see another point of view, plus manners) or else it's just n

Pointing out the flaws of these "great" individuals, heroes of humanity's past simply accomplishes nothing. They're long dead. They have notable accomplishments, that will be taught as history. Saying, "but he wa

Social media doesn't allow for well-reasoned discourse. 140 characters generally aren't enough to change the world. And the masses are on social media.

I might classify utter disregard of moral and legal dimensions as extracting value rather than producing value.

To answer your question - "yes" I definitely could be projecting my own values. Just as everyone else reading it another way could be projecting their own. We all have our biases. I do recognize that. I'm also not beholde

"Enough" certainly. My newest Macbook Pro is 2013, so I have zero insight into the performance of the Apple Silicon devices, but the nature of software development is memory intensive in my experience. The biggest reason claimin

There is really not much code to speak of, and a quick perusal didn't yield anything sus. Initial guess is that it's not very efficient, but I really didn't look that closely.

I will own this I guess. You are correct to some extent: I don't want to have to follow laws that cause unreasonable expense, when they are created to prevent disaster that I am going to prevent without your oversight. You'll j

It's like this throughout the real estate and real estate development industries to be honest. Building my own house I expected plenty of savings over buying (and to be fair, I still did of course), but even beyond permitting (which i

I think it would be naive to believe that this initiative was spawned out of another way than: "How can we reclaim market share from 3rd party hardware manufacturers?" They are almost certainly coming at it from a revenue standpoi
