What's frustrating to me is that all of these platforms _have a store_! When I open the store, I downright _expect_ advertising; it's really helpful in that context to see featured, curated, maybe promoted stuff that I'd othe

Err, wouldn't most of these millions be employees of the company, who receive stock options as a benefit or a bonus?

I'm firmly in camp "office time sounds wonderful" because I live alone, and as it turns out, not having any humans nearby is downright depressing. I'm also somewhat introverted (weird, right?) and while I was living with

This month I picked up a Surface Go, which I've been eyeing for a while as a decent drawing tablet. There I learned the fantastic joys of "S Mode", which helpfully restricts the otherwise general purpose computer from running

I've found more instances of sites blocking the temporary email services (typically forums) than I have situations where it worked as a bypass :/

The worst part of this is that if you know how to do it, it's trivial to have your browser just clear the cookies at the end of the session... including the one that dismisses the cookie form from hell, and the cycle repeats...

This is precisely why I have "air_conditioner.mp3", the 10 hour extended version, sitting in a folder on every device I own. I can mess around with other options (ambient sounds are cool to change things up), but if I need a nap i

uBlock Origin has a handy filter under "annoyances" that seems to clear out several of these. Not perfect, but it helps. I'm still baffled at the way this was rolled out. Why are we putting the requirement on website authors,

I actually have an easier time maintaining flow in cold environments. I keep my house pretty chill and warm the rest of my body with warm clothes. Summer in South Texas was miserable for me, so I moved father north and could not be happier

Interesting. What sort of optimizations does PyPy do? Could it be that pure python unlocked more options in that department due to not needing to preserve the native bindings?

The AUR is wonderful. Ubuntu's support for PPAs comes in at a close second, though less from a tech standpoint and more because of Ubuntu's massive community. Both provide a middle ground, inbetween the ideal of the package mana

Oh, is that supposed to be a sleep aid? I just don't want my phone to blind me with blue light after dark, it hurts my eyes. Night mode is for comfort, I still turn the darn thing off when I'm ready to sleep.

From the company's point of view, it seems like an internship really ought to be more of a culture fit check than anything else. It's like an extended technical interview in a way: "try on our team for size, see how it fits.

I wonder if anyone has tried to make a search engine that explicitly refuses to index any page that has a third party advertising thing anywhere on it. Ignoring the (interesting) technical implementation of such a thing, what would the resu

I've used print debugging extensively doing embedded development, when I could reasonably hook up a serial port to capture the output, or put a crude console on a tiny screen. These systems can't always be debugged in the traditio

Personally, I just pay content creators as directly as possible. If they have a YouTube subscription option available I'll do that, but most of them seem to have a Patreon instead. If I like someone's content, a couple of bucks a

Heh, this won't annoy me in particular since Firefox is already my default. Instead, it'll specifically annoy web developers who prefer some other browser, but are being good netizens and testing in Firefox too. I'm not rea

Not OP, but... more often than I care to admit, past me is perfectly aware of the answer to this problem, but present me has long since forgotten.

Here come the traumatic memories of doing If/Then/Goto on TI-Basic, not understanding the Else or End tokens at all. Turns out each If/Then opens a new stack frame, and because I was never closing them with the corresponding

Oh man, what an unfortunate view. As a user, I wanted the freedom to set this thing up so I could have a teams client that doesn't use 100% of my CPU at idle, but of course I am an end user at my company. It doesn't matter how d

I would say that if those members are hosting on a PeerTube controlled instance, then perhaps it is a moderation issue. If those members are hosting their own instance that federates? Well, then I think the tool is working as designed. Si

In fairness, annoyed though I was, the command line message you get in Windows includes directions into the settings page to disable the feature, and any others like it while you're in there. The real surprise was mostly that python3.e

Just this week, I discovered that even after installing Python from the official website, if you happen to run a script that executes "python3" instead of "python", you'll instead trigger an unhelpful link to the Mi

I recently discovered that I have an astigmatism in one eye, which I can only partially correct with glasses. I don't need to wear prescription lenses day to day, but one thing I noticed immediately was how much easier high contrast te

Oh, is that a real thing that's happening? Caller ID spoofing is the main reason I hold onto my phone number from [small town] Texas, since only my immediate family ever calls me from there, so I somewhat reliably know anything else fr

For some reason, that's short for "prescription." English is weird.

If you happen to use ext as your default filesystem, check the output of tune2fs; it's possible your distro has conveniently defaulted some 2-5% of disk space as "reserved" for just such an occasion. As the root user, in a pi

I don't even particularly care if we standardize on DST or non-DST. Just... pick one. The constant clock changing is silly.

I feel similarly, and the text links in a sister reply were helpful. This kind of story only really needs the two images of the bags side by side to make its point. Regarding videos, within Firefox I simply have autoplay turned off entirely
