I don't see that as malicious. Is my consent record "strictly necessary"? No. Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure they love that, but if sites saved that preference when only necessary was selected, I’m sure a bunch of people would

Please tell me they didn’t break something crucial to my workflow. The containers extension has been languishing for years now. The fact that the first new thing I hear about the feature is in a blog post does not bode well.

YouTube shorts is the worst. I want nothing to do with them, but I consume a lot of longform content on YouTube. On a regular basis, I find myself scrolling through shorts without even realizing it. i’ve tried all sorts of things to hide th

I don't understand how people are angered by this. I understand that it may be difficult to plan, but in the end, we're getting more without being charged. No-one's forcing folks to use up credits. Take it for the bonus it is

Point to another source that does it as well or better. The problems might have been solved, but it seems the majority of the industry continues to ignore them. That said, I’ve been using Niri with Noctalia for months now, and I’m continuou

Truly. The number of times I’ve been surprised by something on newer macOS versions and thought: “I think this used to go against the human interface guidelines” is crazy. IMO: the first major sign of the downfall was when stealing focus on

Then Sony should never have offered these assets for sale, because they never had the right to sell them!

If they use anything that can be classified as a "digital lock" to enforce the policy, section 1201 of the DMCA comes into play. That includes potential criminal liability, resulting in fines and/or jail time as described by

Not exactly what you're describing, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Second_After kinda fits the vibe. Warning: it's really depressing, but a good read if you're in the right head space for it.

Hopefully Anthropic's legal team will force an answer to that question shortly.

This is one of the most wholesome and awesome things I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing!

From dictionary.cambridge.org: a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people: I can easily see a social media company demanding an ID falling under this definition if the accuser bel

There’s a lot of pain and anger in this reply. I’m sorry you have had to experience whatever has led you here.

And yet, at the end of the day, I always sleep better knowing that I put the effort in to be a good person, even if it didn’t work out the way I’d hoped. I get the cynicism; it’s easy to feel like the world is just full of uncaring people s

We’re in dire need of this right now. The number of people that I work with who refuse to pick up new tools and technologies is astounding. If they _do_ try something new, they seem to avoid all but the most basic knowledge of whatever it i

There’s also a browser extension which does the same thing, but attempts to be a bit more content-aware: https://popupoff.org

Bundles of reusable code for commonly performed operations that lead to dependency hell and supply chain attacks.

The better place to spend time might be the automation of operational tasks on those servers so that logging in isn’t necessary in the first place. Then you don’t have to leave your home environment and you can run whatever custom editing c

Anecdotally, I have preferred it to sucralose, because sucralose leaves an aftertaste akin to gargling with liquid plastic.

I’m legitimately curious about what you enjoy and why. Rewriting boiler plate code and trying to ensure that I get everything right with a process I don’t often execute is the very definition of toil to me.

I would love to know what software Atlassian uses to maintain documentation, because I have a hard time believing they’re eating their own dog food.

I’m currently working on migrating Java code from mid-range systems to containers in the cloud. The number of code changes required is near zero. They may not have gotten portability perfectly solved, but it’s pretty darn good compared to m

Ugh, this has become a huge issue with text editing controls. More and more, I find that content gets unloaded once it’s out of the editor’s viewport, making the browser’s built-in search fail.

Having make doesn't help much if you don't have the commands that it's calling.

Any chance you could provide links to documentation around that? I haven't been able to find anything definitive about exactly what's required and what's enabled by default.

Unless your company forces you to use Windows, which is still much more common than many would like to admit. And yes, WSL exists, but in my experience, if a company is unwilling to allow macOS, there’s a good chance they either don’t allow

…but does the hiring manager? They probably don’t want to deal with the political issues that arise from that situation. Besides, if someone has that capability, they’re looking for an architect position themselves.

Now that’s an interesting comment. I’ve been buying Audible books on the iOS app as long as I can remember (both in dollars and using credits). I had to double-check to see if I was crazy or misremembering. Perhaps it’s because I have a mem
