They could, but if they have superior hardware I doubt they'd want to have to support the long tail of Peloton users with existing bikes.

They can both be summed up as "meme like content" but beyond that they're really very different. I'm not sure why the OP is being downvoted, really.

I have Byte and browse it every now and then. Maybe it failed if the only metric of success is hockey stick growth, but when I open it I see an active community. If it does well enough to be self-sustainable then I consider that a success.

As per the post: "We will address critical security concerns as they arise." Perhaps a better term than "done" is "feature complete".

All good points. All will fall on deaf ears. With Brexit looming, the UK needs a trade deal with the US. They aren't in a position of power to demand something like this. The issues with a sale of this nature were obvious when it was s

It isn’t really all that valid in terms of the $1.2k payout. That was at the height of the pandemic, you absolutely didn’t want to have people out working in infrastructure jobs at that point, you wanted them to isolate at home. But the bro

Give me a break. “Kids these days” have their eyes wide open. Just a few decades ago you used to have access to an affordable college education with good jobs on graduation. With a modest level of saving you’d have enough for the deposit on

Personally I find the Rust syntax is a nice middle ground. If the function returns a Result, it can throw an error. And unless you provide a From<> implementation you do need to handle the specific error that gets thrown. But if you w

In fairness the project has been going since 2015. Don’t know about Herd but Fuchsia is a lot more than a microkernel, right?

There’s always danger of “smelling your own farts” syndrome, though. Like the whole submarine thing: it didn’t work! No doubt that Musk is very smart and knowledgable in the areas he has excelled. But a few times now he seemed to have decid

I found it out by plugging in an external monitor and Night Shift not working with it. I could believe it is specific to the monitor you have, but judging by Apple support I'm not alone: https://discussions.apple.com/th

I was surprised to find out that macOS does not apply Night Shift to my external monitor. So I went back to f.lux.

Didn’t Samsung offer desktop mode at one point? I think it got canned because no one used it, sadly.

"at Apple's expense" really surprised me in that statement, too. Certainly, Epic's move denied Apple money they would have earned, but "at their expense" makes it sound like Epic was going to bankrupt them.

It does, but the Slack servers still need to download the image first to know it’s size. There’s no equivalent for a browser. You could rely on Content-Length headers but then ad servers are just going to stop sending them.

I agree that ascribing human behaviours to (particularly animal) biology is shaky. But the changes going on in teenage years (ie puberty) lead me to think teenage rebellion isn’t just cultural.

That’s the beauty of the voting system. No one is banning the discussion, they’re just expressing their own disinterest in it.
