A lot of that content that is deemed "not Wikipedia worthy" ends up in Fandom, a for-profit wiki host also started by Jimmy Wales.

Looking back at the 10.4-10.7 era, I really miss those app icons, they were so easy to tell apart from each other just from shape. The rest of the design language was also a marvel in usability, it was so clear what everything was and how t

A 8x2 grid of buttons can be used as a one octave keyboard. Space and buttons are scarce resources in grooveboxes, and grids of buttons are more versatile. You can always connect an external keyboard too, which will be much higher-quality t

GDDR trades bandwidth for latency. Modern GDDR bandwidth is one order of magnitude above modern DDR. And latency is much worse.

> Musician deserve to be paid for their work I agree. Does Spotify use my money to pay the people I listen to on a given month? They do not. They lump all the revenue together and use it to pay for content in a set of deals with music di

I found this to be a great story about mismanagement. It appears Hans made a multitude of small mistakes that ended up crippling his filesystem project. It's extremely interesting to see such a thorough reflection on all the things tha

Sorry you got offended, that wasn't my intention. Pointing out inaccuracies is not aggressive, and in this case, I was reinforcing your claim, by saying USB2 is not only capable of tens of audio channels, but hundreds. I was just addin

You're about an order of magnitude wrong. USB2 can transport close to 200 channels at studio quality (24bit 96 Khz).

I've been in some Tesla taxis, they usually have to have an arrow sticker pointing at the open button for the door. It's definitely a non-standard car, and while in some cases it can make sense, because the mechanical contraptions

Your solution was also extensible, this is proven by the junior dev being able to easily refactor it into an overcomplicated mess.

Taking stats from the past elections, the most voted party got 39% of the seats with 33% of the votes, and the second party got 34.5% of the seats with 31.7% of the votes. The third and fourth most voted parties got 9.4% and 8.8% of seats w

The Spanish right wing establishment isn't comfortable when not confidently in power, either by directly being in power, or by being sure whoever is in power wouldn't dare to change course on certain policies. This has been an iss

I completely agree. The issue with the "clean" version of the code is that it's completely coupled together. If you touch one thing in the math code, it affects everything. At some point, it becomes easier to keep some duplic

Maybe a "resume" button next to the "play" button in the playlist page. Or just an option hidden in the "..." menu.

This is indeed a regulation failure. Vehicle lights should have a height limit, but instead, their placement is dictated by aesthetics. SUVs and pickups should have their front lights placed at the bottom front corners, but instead, it&#x27

The VGA days were the times where a computer user could kill a CRT screen because the analog data stream wasn't what the monitor supported or expected. I don't miss those days! Plugging a monitor nowadays will always work. Of cour

I don't want this topic to devolve into a Linux distro war, but over the years I've noticed KDE seems to run better on distributions that prefer as-is upstream code. Debian is not one of those, so for the particular use case of ru

I agree with most of your points, save for alt-tab. macOS app and window management is completely different from Windows, and trying to use it like Windows only ends up hurting. Minimizing a window in macOS takes it out of the working set.

In the end it's all about trusting a bunch of unpaid wardens. Just like Reddit.

Convenience doesn't require centralization nor a walled-garden approach. It's just not a priority to the people developing the alternatives. Let's use Lemmy as an example. The current UI makes it clear at all times where the

Well, good luck trying to commoditize a mob. Reddit are not the first one who try, but they will probably be the next to fail.

At its core, both Spacemacs and Doom Emacs are configuration frameworks. If you remove all the default packages/layers, you end up with a way to organize all your custom configs, and nothing else.
