This seems excessive, the author outright admits that LLMs were used, but some of your critiques can just as well be explained by a lack of familiarity with certain expressions or terminology. For example, (software/e) fuses are a comm

You realize this was intended as a joke, because a base assumption in that comment was, in a very specific and not that relevant way, incorrect, right? The "oops" and the parenthetical was intended to give it away.

Oops, in Germany the kitchen is usually the tenants responsibility. Does that mean we should lose our heating privileges instead? (I'm sure some landlords would love that)

Depends on how you frame it, the employee still owns the work in the sense that they are the copyright holder. But the employer is granted exclusive usage rights to the work, so you wouldn't have the rights to license it to someone els

This is more likely referring to the VM disk image the feature allocates, which would have little to do with Electron.

At the very least it did result in plenty of services that previously didn't allow one to delete accounts to add that option. For other cases writing a strongly worded email did the trick, unfortunate that Nikola did not have as much s

Frequently, but not always, I can reproduce such bugs using Epiphany [1] or other WebKit based browsers. That's at least somewhat cheaper when it works. [1]: https://webkit.org/downloads/

> The search fails where the accept-language was wrong far dominate the numbers over the search fails where the accept-language was ignored. Wouldn't this imply that "regular" users are running their OS and/or browser

FWIW the decision-makers at Google (and some other companies) should just learn what the Accept-Language header is for.

I wonder if this suffers from the same issue as 3 Pro, that it frequently "thinks" for a long time about date incongruity, insisting that it is 2024, and that information it receives must be incorrect or hypothetical. Just avoidin

No, I just dislike ad-hoc insulting people for superficial things, because the focus was on the photos, not the article. I realize the irony of my previous comment, so apologies for that.

Ignoring the actual proposal or user, just looking at karma is probably a pretty terrible metric. High karma accounts tend to just interact more frequently, for long periods of time. Often with less nuanced takes, that just play into what i

Please tell me you are not running a NodeJS release that hasn't been supported for at least 3 years... Optional chaining was added in v14 (2020), and it sure looks like that is the issue here.

I think it is somewhat ironic that you try to make a point that Chemie is an exception, when it is exactly the sort of example the claim is made from. Ich and Chemie are pretty similarly pronounced (some people say either with a harder k so

Seems overly protective, and possibly a bit ridiculous depending on your sensibilities, if thought through. By similar logic supermarkets should not carry alcohol or tobacco, theaters cannot show 18+ movies (even non-explicit ones), and ent

I mean, what does long mean in the grand scheme of things? Is a minute or two long? I think, no, in a vacuum they are fine, at least up to where I got. But even a short thing can get annoying if you need to do it often enough, which is at l

Is it if this constitutes an hour of two of your time, most of which is not actually fighting the boss, but walking back to it?

A good example of how the experience of something can be so different between people. I also feel the need to write an article about it, but I'm not done yet... At the surface I had a similar experience to what the author describes. Th

For P2P I can totally see the advantage. Although at that point I'm sure you, and any similar user, would not actually rely on ad-hoc advice like in this thread, and instead just evaluate what is needed. As an aside, personally speakin

The amount of people here just exposing their network to Tailscale, and recommending others to do the same, is surprising, to say the least. I've set up Wireguard on a VPS once six years ago, and nothing needed adjustment since. It is

Your CV and cover letter probably does a lot of the work at least in DACH. The stories I hear from friends in HR, at varying company sizes, is the stuff of fiction. Apparently most people apply with utter trash, its no surprise they get fil

Creating a copyright on one's likeness seems pretty messy in regards to that, but there is a somewhat similar idea in German law (and surely other places) that creates similar concerns for using an image or work. We have a "right

"The Dress" was also what came to mind for the claim being obviously wrong. There are people arguing to this day that it is gold even when confronted with other images revealing the truth.

Some of Microsoft's extensions are licensed such that they may only be used with their own products (i.e. the official VS Code they offer for download, etc.). This already affects Cursor for example: https://github.com/

That sounds too good to be true, and it seems like they are indeed introducing a usage system similar to their competitors next month? > Starting August 1, 2025, we’re introducing a new pricing plan for Amazon Q Developer designed to mak

Ah, that reminds me of my own university days. Early on I've made the mistake of sharing my solutions with people I knew. Unfortunately they kept sharing the solution too, and so on. Two times I was pulled into a profs office after the

What a boring website... It fails to differentiate between JavaScript engines, a core language implementation, and runtimes, an engine plus the useful parts needed for writing software (os, event loop etc.). It lists engines like boa, dukta

Yes, the limits are important to keep in mind, I should have contextualized that before. For my case it happened to work out because it was a CDC based deduplicating format that compressed batches of chunks. Lots of flexibility with working
