Well, "pivot" implies the core business has failed and you're like "oh shit, let's do X instead". Stadia was just Google's New Coke, Apple's Mac Cube, or Microsoft's MSNBC (or maybe Zune. When th

I think is absolutely is, LOL. Though a "very good job of synthesizing" might not actually good for much...

But "car lobbies" mostly implicitly includes "car drivers", right? So it's completely understandable from the universal "I'm rich (initially required to have a car), so get the fuck out of my way" per

Not a question, but Zellij is awesome! This looks like a great new feature, too. :)

I don't know for sure, either, but I suspect any recent Macbook with 16GB RAM would be a significant upgrade over 14700H. I don't like macOS, so in recent years, I only use it on laptop (which for me is like, a few on-site meeting

I don't give any fucks about battery life or even total power consumption cost; I just hate that I have some crap-ass Apple mid-range (for them) laptop with only 36GB RAM and an "M4 Max" CPU, and it runs rings around my 350W

Not great, except for being free, and rock-solid reliable for the purpose of recording desktop audio! (I pay for Audio Hijack Pro, too — and yeah it is better for the purpose, if the price is worth it to you.)

CITATION NEEDED — except not really, that's utter bollocks that doesn't warrant a counter. But, you triggered me lol: 1.) The Chinese meaning of "atheist" may not mean what you think it means: a.) it means not following

Yeah, but it's not a big bet. Deno can do it, Bun can do it, if they die a tragic VC-fueled death then somebody else (maybe Node) can do it. Using Bun to me is just like using a microwave oven in 1980 — there weren't a lot of micr

YMMV. I also hate it (and use the simple, GenX-compatible alphabetically-ordered list) but all my kids and also my wife prefer the weird hex grid — they're just faster with it, it doesn't slow them down the way it does to my 1970s

A fuck of a lot better than HomePod, LOL! (Context: I have 2 Apple TV devices and 5 HomePod devices in my home, plus one Apple Vision Pro. I only like one of those more than my Pixel 9 Fold.)

Maybe you mean democratic societies are badly equipped to regulate capitalist economies? There are zero successful capitalist economies that lack powerful governmental regulatory control. Fukushima 1F was a failure of governmental regulatio

This advisory has been withdrawn because the stylus npm package is not malware. It took a while, but we now have some clarity.

That's a feature, not a bug. When you think about it (even drunk as hell while mid-fall bungee jumping) the latter form is sensible and the first is nuts.

I forget, and I was on my phone (and am still whooooooooo Friday niiiight!!!) but there are definitely at least two more in some stage of development (but we'll see if they actually ship to a prod-ready 1.0). But it's hard to imag

LOL I frequently use em dashes too. I console myself by thinking how, in effect, I to some extent fathered these LLMs and their weird textual tics by commenting too much on this very website, which they were then force-fed like infant fois-

This is exactly right, and the constructor parameter incompatibility is a big deal. The other two aren't nothing, either, even if enums are generally not the prevailing best practice in most cases. This is an interesting development, b

I used to have this same opinion, but I realized I was wrong. It's arguably sad that we're in this current moment, but anyway we are — so these problems caused by too much tech (if they really are caused by that) are nevertheles

Yeah, Iran was a more proimising country before cultists took over... and, um, so was the US. OK, you may have found a point of commonality in our opinions. The US isn't yet as far down that road, but... yeah. It's catching up q

Yes... it can be possible to do both of those things, but it's not remotely possible to create any credible equivalency between, them: a.) your paper refuting those claims doesn't get widespread coverage b.) your paper refuting th
