Another +1 for migrating to Immich. Somebody in my family who generally doesn't pay that much attention to prompts and modals was repeatedly telling me their Gmail doesn't work because it's full and - surprize - it was becaus

A bit of context: Apple is being forced by different jurisdictions (EU, UK, Japan) to allow third-party browser engines. In all other regions it's still not allowed to use them. Apple has been maliciously compliant, putting up roadbloc

It's not that absolute progress is slow, it's extremely slow compared to the predictions. It might be fast in absolute terms, but the "50% of coders will be obsolete by 2023" has been renewed every six months, and it&#x2

The funny part is that I never heard a professional tell me I should use WD40 for a specific task. It's been developed for (W)ater (D)isplacement, it's really good for that; and it's passable at other tasks too. For DIYers, i

I read a moderate amount I'd say, about 2 weeks average for a book, and I was using a very old and very beat-up but still functioning 4th gen Kindle until recently. However, I woke up from my stupor when Micro$oft's eBook store cl

Important bit of information is further down in the article: OnlyOffice is Russian. I would therefore view any collaboration as a risk. It's not adequate for strategic reasons as well as sovereignty.

Several ideas from this blog post are factually wrong. Additionally, I cannot confirm the more subjective ideas - and I've been running Macbooks for almost 20 years, and specifically working with Python both for hobby, for research, pr

The real story here is not how stupid the responses are - it's to show that on a question that even a young child can adequately answer, it chokes. Now make this a more involved question, with a few more steps, maybe interpreting some

The cryptography is sound, however, it's also frequently changing, in addition to straying from standards more or less. This makes it difficult to give a firm answer. This ETH (i.e. Zurich) paper[0] identified several exploitable vulne

You _can_ blame them for several high-impact things they willingly did or at least supported, e.g. benefiting greatly from public spending yet successively voting to restrict it later on; f*cking over the real estate market and squeezing yo

At the same time subsidies are being phased out. I was about to get 8kW panels + batteries installed when my country decided to pull them, and I'm not going to spend 10k out of pocket.

Still, you are comparing a non-empty program to an empty program.

This is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Python needs to load and interpret the whole requests module when you run the above program. The golang linker does dead code elimination, so it probably doesn't run anything and doesn't
