Lots of people like me use a different site to see stories. Personally I use hckrnews.com and I'm never even aware that something fell off the front page. Anyway, I think it's fine for admins to want us to give a topic a rest the

Is that a law? In all of America there are actual laws against littering, noise and pollution and wherever I move I expect them to be enforced. Also I wonder if these lawbreakers were respectful of the culture that existed prior to them arr

I was thinking of switching away from Chrome as well. Was there something about Vivaldi that made you use it instead of Brave? I don't know much about either one of them except that Brave is (fully?) open source while Vivaldi is not.

Agreed 100%. As soon as the dialog opens, I usually just want to start typing the file name to save and then press enter to save. The workaround is that I must remember to hit Alt+N to focus on the filename box before typing. Usually I forg

If they start requiring a Microsoft account to sign in like they did with Mixer then I know a bunch of people will be out, including me. If they treat it like GitHub and let it be it's own thing then maybe I'll stick around. I dou

I just run them on different machines. My life is so much simpler without all those layers. Windows never messes with my Linux and vice versa. Of course it helps that RDP and freeRDP both work very well. Whenever I need Windows I just fired

Zillow lists homes for sale by owner. Last time we bought a house, we almost exclusively used Zillow to search for them because all the Realtor-branded MLS access systems sucked. In the end, the house we bought was found on Zillow. Our real

You need a citation for government lying to people? Their point was that people generally don't trust institutions anymore. This much is self evident.

One reason that I was drawn to programming was because I liked spending long hours in front of the computer figuring things out, not talking to anybody else or dealing with people. Women that I've spoken to about this have said they co

iOS UX is so bad that to clear big attachments off the phone you have to individually select each item in a huge, multipage check list. There's not even a select-all option.

If iOS allowed sideloading, you could just stay in the app store though. Problem solved. As a developer, I just want to be able to distribute my apps to myself, my family and my friends without having to pay $100 per year and without having

This is not a problem for "row stores" though, it's specific to SQLite. As a matter of fact, any classical RDBMS can effectively store columns off-page and and most of them do just that in the case of large TEXT/JSON&#x2
