Yes, it is, and I respect them too. I just wish UIs would be considered finished once the major UX and implementation bugs were fixed. The reason I won't touch eithet Gnome or KDE is that there have been so many reimplementations of

Really? You can select some text in a browser and paste it to a shell with a right click? This is something that must be supported on OS level to be useful.

Just a huge thank you to Daniele for developing and maintaining psycopg! The article shows the level of professionalism and care that goes into this project. Using Django to test implementation is a genius idea. I can't wait to try the

To me, Linux is closer to "Windows" than Windows 10 are. Using Xubuntu, I have desktop, panel, shortcuts,... Everything WinNT and WinXP (best Windows versions imho) had, and best of all, once I configure it it stays the same . Wi

Not GP, but agree with them. In my opinion: because you don't show respect for them. What would your reaction be if someone said that to you and you were powerless to do much about it? Of course, this is all judging just by the tone of

For me the rule is to always use pipenv locally and pip + requirements.txt (generated by pipenv) for production (in docker container usually). No complaints.

No, your impression was right. Reading this blog post made me realize how little I know about the python import system (and I use python daily), and at the same time how little I want to learn it. It is completely unintuitive and probably

I assume this was after the linked post then, and it's good to hear that. The problem is that these posts stay online for a loooong time. Thanks for answering.

Not sure about mac mini, but some old machines might draw considerably more power than rpi. Rpi has a problem with sd cards, but you can make it use them in the read-only mode, in which case rpi becomes a very reliable computing device.

As a counterpoint, I love ThinkPads but never understood the appeal of the track point. I don't mind it being there of course, but it is not a reason to prefer one laptop to another, and definitely not the reason I like ThinkPads.

I found its interface inconsistent and unintuitive, especially compared to moment.js and day.js. Still better than Date though. :)

Thank you for the clarification! So the app does use location data, but it is (maybe?) not uploaded.

I see your point, I'm just saying that for many people viable alternatives already exist. But I understand completely that not everyone can (or is willing to) make the tradeoffs needed. Btw, I hear FairPhone 3+ with e.foundation OS is

The alternatives are just that - alternatives. Don't want to make compromises needed for them? Then don't and stay in Google / Apple candyland. Or, make a sacrifice yourself and develop the missing support for the phone you f

I can relate completely. A bit surprised by the LG though - was it any better wrt. preinstalled crapware?

I fail to see the difference. You say it doesn't use GPS, but then continue to say that it uses location data (and thus, I assume, GPS). So which is it? Or are you saying that the app doesn't receive the user location data, only G

"Acquires" is a strong word when we are talking about $8 price. Maybe "Cloudflare becomes custodian of Icanhazip"?

This. And both with GitHub and GitLab it takes quite a bit of an extra effort to setup caching. It hurts to see 'npm ci' download half the internet every time a developer pushes to dev server.

That doesn't sound like a good strategy. If they are bad at fulfilling their orders, why would you care if they are also stupid and cancel your account instead of fixing their problems? They are not the only merchant online.

This is a huge oversimplification. Short term gains of breaching ethics might result in middle- and longterm reduced profit, regulatory action or opportunity for other players to eat their lunch. Businesses can follow ethics if they decide

A bit off-topic, but I'm constantly surprised that e-mail companies are so bad at this. If I, as a user, keep corresponding with someone, what kind of brain-dead system keeps putting their mails to spam? (answer: gmail) I am communicat

If it's easy to misunderstand then it's bad UX. Discord's chat could learn a lot from Slack and Mattermost (but then again, so could Signal, Skype and Teams). Their videoconf however is top notch.

I can understand the reasons, but it would probably make more sense to transfer the costs to the customers (for example for excessive IO, energy consumption,...) and let them be if they are willing to pay them. It's not illegal after a

That's not really relevant though. Anything that runs code on my computer without my awareness of it should be considered a security bug.

Let me introduce you to Eastern Europe then. Lots of smart and well educated people, western-like culture, big taxes and fees (50% sounds right), and the rate sounds right for a capable developer, especially if he is a quasi-employee, as th
