To me, the bigger problem is the lack of ability for Android phones to register an AirTag as recognized. They've never done anything to address the problem of "drive your wife's car and her AirTag is beeping at you and your A

I'm surprised Starship is so popular. It's missing really basic powerlevel10k features like empty segments. If you look at some examples: https://starship.rs/presets/gruvbox-rainbow You can see that when the

<input type="number"> is famously really flawed and not worth using even if what you want is semantically a number and not just numeric: https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/12/26/why-the-number-inp

While this is mostly true, there were similar techniques even before XMLHttpRequest. iframes could communicate with parents, and also JSONP. I think JSONP was mostly pioneered as a technique after XMLHttpRequest, but the iframe trick did wo

Heh, I saw this thread just recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1euwht3/webstorm_is... Most discussions I've seen, including that one, say that VS Code is slower than most lightweight

I feel like accusing someone of lying is a bit of a leap. I would just guess the guy you're replying to lives somewhere easier to drive than SF.

My friend's been learning programming with Github Copilot and gets refusals there sometimes, for seemingly no reason; so here's an example for you: https://d.pr/i/XSiepe

You don't have to write good UX from scratch to get non-OS scrollbars, there are CSS rules that let you style scrollbars while keeping most system scrollbar features and accessibility. No comment on whether or not that's a good id

I suppose "nobody used that product anyway" is way more true of Microsoft's dropped projects than Google's, and that's important. Everyone here can name Google products they loved which they can't use anymore.

I'm pretty sure Caroline deleted her Tumblr accounts because a Twitter mob was digging through them and doxxing her friends (many of my friends were scrambling to hide their connections to her).

There's a sense in which cookies can't do any harms besides tracking, while a browser extension can do much worse.

The EU laws require the banners to be shown to all EU citizens regardless of the country they're in, right? I think the only way to be absolutely safe is to show cookie banners everywhere.

Yeah, I like my AirPods Pro precisely because I don't need to disconnect them from the previous device to connect to them from the next device. Bose NC 700s and Sony XM4s both have the problem where I need to disconnect from them on an

Equilateral triangles can fall in. You have three dimensions: the height of the triangle is less than the side length of the triangle, so it fits in near the sides of the hole. The OP mentions curves of constant width: https://en

I also have this problem (it might be related to my ADHD). 2x speed (with occasional pauses/rewinds) works much better for my retention; I've often explicitly noticed myself not paying attention and learning nothing at 1x.

That seems really low. The point of copyright is to incentivize people to create more art, so We The People can experience more art. If you're not going to sell your art, why are we enforcing your rights at all? I'm not saying you

I don't think "it's there because the A/B test says it works better" is a good reason to lie in a fundraiser. If I say "please donate to support my dying child", this will probably get more donations than

Yeah, this would be much more persuasive if he gave more reasons about why not to buy from Amazon. (Mine shipped with a minor issue, but the seller agreed to reimburse me for the price my local repair shop charged to fix it.)

The big unanswered question there is: Why go through the effort of making the headers real, if you want to intentionally filter out the kind of people who would look at them?

You're very close, but I think "browser makers" makes it sound like it was more than one. Microsoft Internet Explorer defaulted it to on. Every other browser was in agreement that it would only get advertising industry buy-in

I don't think it's about who's at fault, it's about what risks you're willing to tolerate. Insurance is always a trade-off of EV for tail risk. In exchange for losing money on average (the insurance company has to e

No one has explained what you got wrong, so in case anyone reading this is still confused, Apple compared an M1 Max to a 3080m. An M1 Max's graphics card is ~4x as fast as an M1.
