That was the reason I bought a lot of stuff at their competitor baby-dump.nl. Until BP bought BD, and instituted the same policy there... It's their site, they can do what they want. And as long as there's competition I can even a

Which ones? I haven't seen them in Dutch, so I wonder what the languages that do have typos have in common.

I switched to mise too for all my dev tooling. It just works so nicely for all kinds of ecosystems. I can use the same tool for Python, Node, Java, whatever and it just works.

That won't be a good heuristic much longer. A few weeks back I saw Gemini write "Redundant Abstraciton Overhead" (-citon instead of -ction). It was the first time I saw a model make a "typo", so I made a note of it.

Since I've moved to my current home, I've had jobs in about 6 different towns and cities. I think for all of them I had colleagues that cycled to work and colleagues that drove for an hour or more. All these jobs had homes and sho

Which studies? The claim is usually made without specific citations. The few studies I'm aware of show correlation between mental health issues and phone use, but don't show which way the causation runs. It's just as plausibl

I love Kokoro. I use it to read ebooks that don't have audiobooks and it works pretty good for that. I have a Python script that reads epub/html, runs the model and writes mp3s. Kokoro supports a limited number of languages. I&#x2

Oh, okay. I misunderstood what you meant by walk on/walk off. I find the exact planning ahead of time more annoying than a security checkpoint, so was hoping you found a better solution.

Almost. My point is that you have to see if a union is good (for you).

> There is no reason for any employee to not search for unionization. That's a very theoretical view. (As most absolutes are.) Unions and rules around unions can be very different depending on locality, industry and other specifics.

The advantage of SPAs, like the checkboxes page, is that they can do the round-trip less visibly. The user can still continue the next thing. So even if it is slow, it's less of a deal than loading and rendering a page anew. > Is it

The standard answer to that is that some technologies make one harder than the other. That's kind of true from first principles, but it requires making the case that e.g. React is actually harder to make good than a plain HTML page. Fu

I looked into the other names you've mentioned. KNDS is certainly planning to IPO later this year, but with only 20% of the stock free floating. The plans are that the French and German governments will own 40% each. Arquus is not owne

Better terminal emulators probably played a role too. In particular the newish Windows Terminal. The older cmd.exe console only supported Windows Console API. WinTerm has full VT and ANSI support, much better font rendering, and less import
