Perhaps lowercase o gets excessive space? I'm guessing here. It's the only element that seems even remotely mis-kerned.

Agreed. Finding this in a KDE release would be <insert metaphor that makes you joyful>.

Credit card numbers, social security numbers, passwords. People say all of these things around loved ones all the time without worrying about hardware being "around." Hardware, shockingly, is always around. And despite the author&

My favorite point: "2. It might be that test scores don’t predict college graduation rates[...] is provably false."

People have been bemoaning Snow Leopard's demise since the first beta of Lion. Snow Leopard was a design that was internally consistent. I don't think it was the pinnacle of design, but I see why it was beloved by developers.

I hear this a lot. Or that Leopard or Snow Leopard was peak Mac. That part of the debate doesn't interest me. What does interest me is that pre-Lion software is well understood. The behaviors and expectations and commands are re-implem

Precisely. This is the kind of legislation that benefits all the residents of a state. Subscription predation is poorly regulated. Starting with cars seems like an obvious target.

Right. There have been exactly two ports in the history of iPhone.

Agreed. It seems to me that ensuring the freedom of free software addresses a fundamental social issue that without RMS never would have been met and could have been lost several times along the way. I see a lot of references to getting wit

Many of the timbres the AI selected were not very rich in replicating natural instruments. Also, almost every single track in every song is continuously overloaded with randomness, or perhaps I should call it juvenile improvisation attempts

It's years, at least, away from creating anything that I'd connect with. But it's only a couple years away from filling all the lobbies and elevators of the world.

It reduces the total global corruption incentive to have laws like FCPA enacted in every country. I suspect there are some interesting histories of the 1910s through 1950s where foreign development by oil companies led to spiraling corrupti

This is how it smells to me. I wouldn't take a position without equity as CTO or VP of Engineering or Director of Engineering or Manager or Tech Lead or SWE1.

The authors complain that graduate programs at elite universities rely on standardized tests as a key contributor of racial bias. I am surprised by this. I suspect this is a misapplication of the racial bias studies that relate in high scho

Less than they do now. This washes away CCPA protections that are already nationalized-by-default.

2nd rate claptrap of a bill. Just make the CCPA national.

RTX 3090 was $1500 at launch, and was a 50% boost over the previous gen at best. RTX 4090 is $1700 an is asserted to be ~1.9x performance, when taken with salt grain. You can buy a 3090 for $999 today at Best Buy. That's not a bad pric

So they shouldn't buy it. Maybe they'd like a nice 4070 or 4060 someday.
