   But still nice to hear. Really timely, too, since my 83-year-old mom called me the other day to help her E-mail a document she prepared in LibreOffice. I installed it on her (seldom-used) computer years ago. So I talked her through E-mailin

   It never ends. So much of my day is wasted on Windows's defects and clumsiness.

   "more than anything it was the incessant push to associate my OS account with an online Microsoft account" Absolutely. Obnoxious and unacceptable. Then there's the fact that Windows has regressed into a clinic on UI incompete

   To be fair, iTunes suffered from the same defect at one point. Microsoft is now a clinic on defective design, execution, and attitude. But back then it wasn't that bad. The iTunes case was also a classis UI 101 blunder combined with st

   Paywalled garbage, even if you waste your time "signing up."

   Did they specify why? The lack of good open-source image browsers has, oddly enough, become a major problem. Only recently did someone float a pretty good one for Mac (FlowVision). I don't know what options there are on other OSes at t

   You are in good company. I went into Darktable enthusiastically and with willingness to learn its workflow. What I found was crippling bugs and a piss-poor UI. I've even gone back to it after a few years to see if I'd soften my st

    Agree. I see it as informative to newcomers as to what they should do themselves. This is how people learn.

    Why is this garbage on the front page?

    This demonstrates why forcing people to use E-mail addresses as user IDs is a stupid, stupid policy.

    I was wondering how this kind of change makes its way into environments like Deno. I'm building a project on Deno too. As I understand it, Deno provides the "language server" for editors like VS Code. So how does Deno use thi

    I don't understand what this is, based on this statement: "Astro supports every major UI framework. Bring your existing components and take advantage of Astro's optimized client build performance." But isn't Astro a

    I don't know a lot about containers. Would containers created for/with this also work in Docker? Good name for this app, BTW.

    This is a good point. I'd rather have something with the S3 option, so I can serve the pages from my house but the images from a speedier source.

    Because someone saw fit to downvote it. For some reason it's fashionable on HN to promote douchily obscure posts, and condemn those who call for better.

    If you hadn't brought that up, I would have. Sony should not be let off the hook for its offensive (essentially criminal) behavior. I won't even review Sony's decades-long efforts to undermine industry standards...

    Thanks for the reply. I've been programming professionally since the '90s (no background in ML or neural networks and whatnot), and I realize that the weights are numbers. So I was asking whether different weight sets can be appli

    So you can apply different weights to those "non-open" models? Also, I've read a bunch of descriptions of AI components, but none of them has said what the weights are applied to in the model. I guess that every model contain

    Thanks. You used to be able to do it from the menu itself, though. I don't even remember the method... And now the file system is just an irritating mess. Why are there mirrors of your home-directory structure, most of them "forbi
