   Aren't people buying more indie and early-access games than ever? Or do you mean boardgames? Those seem to be doing alright as well though.

   I recently started buying paper books. Yes, it's not particularly ecological, but I found that I'm able to focus at the text much better this way. My Kindle (despite plenty of obvious advantages) just doesn't really work for

   This is beautiful. I noticed something: The player character feels really tall to me. Or perhaps the doors are short? I subconsciously kept looking downward. I'm not a particularly tall person, but I don't remember feeling this wa

   Then there wouldn't be 20 recalls in total. But there were 20 in total in that year.

   >“Most” is pulling a lot of undeserved weight there. So were most OTA updates or not? That is either objectively true or objectively false, not "pulling a lot of undeserved weight".

   Worrisome, but good that it got caught before anyone got into an accident. The issue shouldn't be present in all trucks, but better to recall all of them to be safe. BTW: What happens if you fully press both the acceleration and brake

    This is a nice article that resonates with me. I dislike OKRs because I think there is a good chance that they are going to hinder a team in their effort to do a good job. In the extreme case OKRs might be downright harmful (like described

    That's not true. Aria isn't a replacement for proper markup. Accessibility software is rather brittle even when you do everything right. It's a bad idea to push it.

    I think they cannot put it on both stores per Apple rules. And since the Delta developer is the same person as the Alt Store developer he chose to put it on his own store.

    True, but what do I as a customer care? It's not like I'm building some business on their APIs or anything. If they go down, I will switch to another search engine… no need to do so preemptively from my PoV.

    I've read the first third of the article and I didn't get what's the author's problem with Kagi. What do they care how many employees Kagi has or how much they spend on t-shirts. Then I scrolled through the rest of it an

    Then why block the access, if you are fine with violating EU law because they have no way to make you pay fines? The model access makes no difference.

    GDPR applies globally. If you handle EU citizens data, you must conform to it. Of course you might not care, if you believe that the EU has no way of forcing you to pay a fine and if you are certain that you are never going to do any busine

    My point is that you are criticising beliefs while presenting a belief of your own. We don't know if AGI is even possible, but we also don't know which technologies are going to lead to it. LLMs including.

    No, it wouldn't help they don't publish it in EU. They would be in violation with GDPR either way.
