Yes, how quixotic of them. They really should have foreseen this when they published the license … checks notes … close to twenty years ago.

The "Hardware & Environment" part which supposedly links me across different browsers doesn't work — it differs between Safari, Firefox and Chromium. In a private Safari window, it's not even stable across reloads.

That makes very little sense to me. When your Subversion server is gone, you're hosed. When your Git forge is down, you take any old SSH shell account anywhere, push and keep working.

At the end of the thread, they say they've found the toggle, but it is greyed-out in the off position.

Acorn is one of the very, very few remaining pieces of software where the update notification popping up makes me go "Oh nice, what's this then?" instead of filling me with existential dread. I hardly do anything graphics-rel

I've never forgotten this SIGGRAPH demo from almost twenty years ago, in which the authors effectively switch camera and light source computationally (... in a static scene) [1] Ever since then, I have viewed scenes such as the "l

No, they do not, and they did not. They started throttling devices based on battery age after "Batterygate" in 2016, after a wave of news that their phones were suddenly shutting off on high load because the batteries terminal vol

Never mind cleaning up, you also have to understand the language just to judge and review the LLMs output. How else are you to separate good design and implementation from a bad one?

This brought a wide smile to my face. Thank you for telling that story.

I would describe myself as strict and dogmatic about email etiquette and consent as they come, but I am with avianlyric about the subscription reminders. Legal requirements aside — when I have an ongoing business relationship with a company

According to Michael Tsai, they did use encrypted notification payloads. The OS just then stores the decrypted payloads in its notification database. [0] [0] https://mjtsai.com/blog/2026/04/10/notificatio

For some people like me, iOS parental controls are utterly and completely broken. I have tried to make it work over three or four years and just as many iOS releases - no dice. About a dozen times in those years, the system silently failed

Another vote for the HT3. My wife and I have one each, and we are perfectly content with them — nice battery life, decent build quality, good connection to multiple (two?) sources. The ANC is not in the same league as a $300 pair, but one c

Ooh, it's time to pull out the classics! Please feel free to check the boxes as you see fit, as I am currently too lazy to have Claude do it for me. Your post advocates a ( ) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigila

Of course you do not, that's what makes you such a pillar of the Fatherland. Be proud of that!

Then you have my sympathy, because I can absolutely picture myself in your shoes. For what little it may be worth. May we all see better times.

Just did Galway-Rome and enjoyed it! I'll check back in a while when you've had time to implement the minimap and tourist center, as you wrote elsewhere. What was weird: Paris did not seem to have any public transport - I had to w

Full-stack Rails has been my day job pretty much exclusively for almost twenty years now, for both long-term projects and one-offs in agency contexts. So I am generally interested. Two things put me off: 1) I have to hunt around to find out

Aah, don't worry, that's why they introduced system-wide text recognition in images, powered by Apple Intelligence! Just take a screenshot of that album description, and ... sigh

We cannot, no. A break break, as clean and hard as can be under the circumstances is required. There will be gnashing of the teeth, doomsaying galore, a few actual minor catastrophes... but we will be okay. Not just okay, but we will be bet

One is a sitting president, one hasn't been in a decade. What do you believe is more pressing, and why?

Wow, in the age of affordable LLM-results, there is something heraldic to posting primitive Markov-chain results such as these. The question I have never been able to answer, though: why bother?

That is Blink, not Webkit. Both have diverged significantly enough over the last fifteen-odd years to be counted as separate engines, even if one is a fork of the other. I primarily use Safari — same story here as with you and Firefox.

They would still need other sensors if omitting the camera, alongside a slew of other safety systems: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/document/download... . Curious.

It is a commonly used abbreviation for "the f...ine article". On discussion sites of the Internet of yore, people would tell you to RTFA — "read the fucking article" — when it appeared you were chiming in without having

I discovered Ruby (through Rails) about twenty years ago on the dot. Coming from Perl and PHP it took me a while, but I remember the moment when I had the same realisation you did. I still love this language to bits, and it was fun to reliv
