> so without tool support you can't navigate to a reference target Maybe, but XML tools are also just superior to JSON counterparts. XPath is fantastic, and so is XSD and XSLT. I also quite like the integration with .NET. My general

You don't have to meet someone to know they're awful. I've never met Adolf Hitler - but I'm pretty confident he's an awful person. Elon Musk uses his immense wealth to cheat. He's infiltrated the government and

Sure, but it's becoming increasingly obvious to everyone that the American car industry is in major trouble. In a decade, I'm confident in saying a lot of American car companies will not exist. We see it in our day-to-day lives. P

I would not be comfortable using any self-driving system on US roads that only utilizes computer vision. The reality is we don't actually know how reliable these systems are, and Tesla has a long history of spreading misinformation abo

IMO it's not much added work. In KDE you can navigate to settings and edit flatpak permissions, and flatpaks are available to download via discover. I haven't noticed any weirdness for firefox or chrome.

I find for deeply hierarchical data that XML is much easier to read.

There’s two things going on here: 1. You’re, rightfully, pointing out the “kids these days” bias that societies tend to have. Humans are risk-averse by nature and old things register in our monkey brains as better. This is all true. 2. Some

A lot of business basically just steal from their future selves in perpetuity until the interest they’ve accumulated is too great and they implode. It’s the GM and intel school of business. Constantly choose what makes money now, and avoid

Yes, I just bought one a few months ago actually. A new lunar lake laptop. It gets 12 hours of battery life and has plenty performance for programming, plus 32 gigs of ram. It’s under 3 pounds and the screen is OLED. And yes, everything wor

Hugely agree with markdown. 99% of the time people want bullet points, headers, maybe a table or two. Using a word processor is very overkill and actually makes the simple stuff more arduous. Markdown is the best too because: 1. Sending as

The division of per-app vs app list in general is bad. I think they should just throw in the towel and duplicate settings. Meaning, we can turn off Siri learning from an app or from the Siri page. Or we can turn off banners from the app or

This doesn’t work on Windows because there’s half a dozen “settings” applications, which is the original complaint.

My advice for web browsers is to use Flatpak. You can limit the file system permissions of the app, like giving only access to downloads, so that if/when there’s a sandbox leak you’re fine. You can also disable various things, like web

It’s perfectly fine. KDE and Gnome are both now more cohesive, more intuitive, and less buggy than either Windows or MacOS. The problem with Linux is that, while it’s very good, it’s different. Nobody actually cares how intuitive something

1. Customers don't know what cancelling is like before they buy a service. This isn't advertised, obviously. 2. Competing on being easy to cancel is a bad thing, actually. However wins that competition is losing money. That's

> hormone levels, etc. Right… their gender they identify as. So sex, and then also the gender they identify as. You can’t hide behind an “etc”. Expand that out and the conclusion is you really do need to know who is trans and who is cisg

I hardly think most (any?) democrats or their constituents are talking about affirmative action in this day and age. It’s pretty shocking that this extremely fringe issue is the only thing you can find to support the narrative that dems are

In addition, humans have a lot of senses. Not just 5 - but dozens. A lot of them working in the background, subconsciously. It’s why I can feel someone staring at me, even if I never explicitly saw them.

The misconception here is that technology just magically runs on its own. No, it’s created by and maintained by humans. You’re shifting the cost of a driver to software engineers, data analysis, people mapping out roads, etc. This is why Ub

Woke is everything, everywhere, all at once. Pretty much if an action can even so much as be perceived as helping someone, somewhere, with something in a way that they do not "deserve", then it is woke. Clean air? Woke! Better con

That's because you changed what's actually happening to something way bigger, so then you can immediately say it's not minutiae. This isn't taxes, this is one very specific and small tax. And this isn't levied by th

Because it’s directly related - the US’ political strategy is why PayPal exists. Politics is inseparable from economics. We prioritize the private sector politically and there’s a lot of benefits, and a lot of detriments, to this. One of th

It works of course but it’s a short term solution. Because you’re trading off long term success for success right now. It’s like a cash advance on a credit card. Great for getting 500 bucks in your pocket, but the interest is steep. People,

If it wasn't that, then what was it? This is the golden question that, apparently, hundreds of millions of Americans are unable to answer.
