Then they tried to catalogue which knowledge had not yet been catalogued, and it all went to hell.

What a shameless load of reframing. Let’s balance that out a little. Italy is doing something immoral and significantly harmful, foreigners considered leaving rather than becoming complicit, this guy is morally offended that foreigners thin

Of course predictions about the future are not present reality. It’s not set in stone, but it’s supported by the times this has happened before and by trends in Apple and in tech. “Nothing will ever change” is a prediction, too, and one muc

Your experience is starkly different than mine. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Pixelmator, Pixelmator Pro’s much more toy-like predecessor from ~10 years ago? My experience is that while there’s a feature and community gap for both Pix

The other thing that’s going to go away is purchasing only what you need. I want exactly one of these apps, I bet virtually nobody uses all of them, and yet the suckers are going to be telling us that being made to buy stuff we don’t want o

I rejected iOS 26 for a while and boy did my opinion on whether Apple forces version changes do a 180. Everything people lambast Windows for was there. Nags with no “no” option, a red notification badge you can’t dismiss, scare dialogs, and

> perceptually free Bizarre phrase. If you think mandatory bundling is free stuff then your perception is not very good.

I’d argue it’s a strength. You still have classes and custom attributes to reach for when you want an (effectively) unordered set, the difference is just that you define some boundary that’s exclusive. This reflects reality. Some helper cla

Apple generally does this transparently and automatically when exporting photos. If you’re not getting that behavior then you could have it off in settings, it could be your workflow, or it could be a Google Drive bug/limitation. What

The flight distance is 2,520 miles, Google puts road distance at 3,179 mi = 1.26x, 29,905 mi is 11.87x. Road miles are not even close to accounting for it, it’s just a bug.

FileZilla explicitly and emphatically sells a license, not a download. In fact, technically not even the initial download is included in the purchase. They’re technically within their rights to never even give you the software, just say “al

Well, I wanted to revert and wanted a new phone, so bought an iPhone 16 instead of a 17, which comes with iOS 18 installed. iCloud data synced in fine, and the 17 is a very small upgrade anyway, even a downgrade in some ways.

It was the primary motivating factor behind the previous major browser shift, though there were also other large factors. Remember that users often don’t correctly figure out which part of the stack is causing something. I’m guessing people

Please consider changing pass/fail to an integer score out of maybe 5. This test is becoming more and more misleading as your apparent desire to give due credit conflicts with quality improvements over already ok-ish models. For exampl

I thought so too at first, but zoom in to where the neck joins the head. What looks like the head’s shadow from a distance is actually a hard seam between thick neck and thin neck, with much of the apparent shadow actually a cutout showing

The university did not take this action directly in response to the issue, it took it in response to a call from a US senator regarding a law restricting freedom of speech. Such calls do not have a “no thanks” option. This is the normal way

Sounds like a hard life. So much time spent on buggy, unintuitive, jumbled, and half-assed OS, then the only time they get away from it, they have to use Windows.

You’re right, my bad, Spigot (from Bukkit), not Fabric. I got the impression it’s actually using ~~Fabric~~ Spigot code for this because you’re using plugins compiled for Spigot and both a paper.whatever and spigot.whatever config file, but

Paper isn’t a mod loader, it uses Fabric under the hood. Also, what makes you think it’s the most popular server? I thought it was fading. I switched my server from Paper to Fabric years ago.

No. Almost everybody hated it out of context, but in context many understood that one man was about to obtain unprecedented power over all three branches of government and use it to vindictively pursue personal vendettas. These people were

I think you missed the point about bundling. In this instance, the first choice is your laptop choice, and the second is your charger choice. Because the first choice is far more important than the second, the party that’s chosen in the fir

Many people got played on the charger thing. It’s never free, it’s a mandatory bundle. But companies only put one line item on the receipt, never refer to the primary component separately but instead conflate its name and idea with the bund

Showing up in a thread you haven’t even participated in and saying “I’ve already made my choice, quit giving me second opinions” is comically self-centered.

A performance problem I’ve run into with small websites like this one is many caching systems are tuned for bigger companies or hotter programs, and basically every load ends up an “exceptional” cold start case. VMs wake up, Cloudflare actu

Never knew that. I think that in combination with CSS grid auto fill, that may have solved a huge chunk of paged columns.

I want this and am eventually going to try harder to implement it, but the reason is basically because CSS can’t do it. What do you do when you still have more content than fits on the screen? If you just stick with default CSS behavior and

It’s gotten a little old for me, just because it still buoys a wave of “solve a problem with a regex, now you’ve got two problems, hehe” types, which has become just thinly veiled “you can’t make me learn new things, damn you”. Like all too
