When I studied CS 15-11 years ago in France, nobody had laptops in class. All practical work was done in a computer lab. I still find it weird to see a picture of a lecture hall and a sea of computers. What do people do with them? This asid

I find GIMPs rectangular selection tool amazing. The way it does double duty with crop tool is really well thought out. I haven’t used the software for a long time, preferring Affinity, but I’ve tried all the major image editing programs an

Aren’t many of the single family houses currently occupied by people flatsharing, which would be better served by other types of housing?

It seems that for a subset of people not being considered best is an insult. One thing though that is often brought up is that the US situation would be improved by having more competition. Unfortunately it seems that the regulators are tur

I think the keyboard fiasco has shown the opposite. Apple did cave in, eventually, but it still took three years. The keyboard were definitely a huge problem but enough people didn’t care for apple to keep the keyboard for a whole cycle.

Original community I guess. Flickr was more geared towards pros and amateurs (in the original sense). Instagram was made specifically for iPhone users.

> Rechargeable, connected and sustainable Hmm. Do these have batteries and computers inside? Do they have to? Making things “smart” usually decreases the time span.

How would this kind of system handle: “your change works but the way you implemented it breaks X Y and future Z, now there are 10 commits on top of it and we have to roll back.” Seems like it would create a code base with a lot of hacks or

The whole am/pm thing would also probably need to be ditched for military time. (Now that is a thing I would agree on doing anyways)

Yes. But, that’s also only 4 time zones squashed into one, with vast majority of the population living in 2. EU could remove time zones, US too, but worldwide it would be quite unpleasant to completely lose the notion of when a « morning »

Getting rid of time zones is a nice idea for the first five seconds you think about it.

This is a very novel use case to me. Could you elaborate why use this solution instead of a local VM, boot camp, or something like Stadia? Seems that it would work quite well for turn based games (including auto save)

Wow. Comparing a cushy desk job with massive pay to a prison labour camp. By a millionaire no less…

Is it? Genuine question, in my apartment the fridge is also right next to the stove and there is nothing that can be done to move it (it was that way when I rented it).

Or they put their money where their mouth is and stop going to websites that are ad ridden to the point of unusability.

Yes that's the idea. Tearing off a tab in vim and creating a new terminal window with an instance of vim having contents of that tab. This is possible in vim guis but afaik not in any terminal version.

Depends, accessibility is a spectrum. Most people don't need a fully voice/gesture based interface but can get by with good contrast controls and font sizing (as in, the fonts need to be able to get huge). Accessibility is also be

Note that as a cyclist I would also be very pissed if a 50kh/h bike was on a bike lane. Maybe outside the city on long stretches it’s fine.

At least the part about wasting time does. Luckily there is the noprocrast option.

React Native is not web, it’s the lowest common denominator of all platforms, so your experience is not surprising. Having developed custom elements in both web and native, I felt that web was easier and more predictable than native. (For e

Yeah. For my vim I need fd, fzf and rg. So my dotfiles repo also has an install script. I never had the patience to setup lsp correctly. Maybe I’ll try again with all lua neovim plug-ins and config.

I find that spinning up QtCreator on a new machine is orders of magnitude faster than transporting a vim configuration.

Web makes it super easy to build custom components compared to something like Qt, GtK or even UIKit. One of the reasons why web UIs are common is that people want more than tables buttons and forms.

Yes but this is a historical artifact from the Docomo character set.

I also remember that WhatsApp has a default where it stores any viewed message in conversation in the library.

Before Files I've never actually saved any pictures and painstakingly routinely deleted screenshots. The first is now a bit easier since the share sheet also has "save to files" (only some of the time though, for no apparent

To me the most interesting findings from this fiasco were: 1. People actually do use generally publicly available services to store and distribute CP (as suggested by the amount of reports done by Facebook) 2. A lot of people evidently use

We’ll disagree here. I’m all for warnings and keeping the user knowledgable about what is going to happen if you enable this or that api. However forcing developers to make crippled modes of their apps even though nobody will actually use t
