I'm kind of offended they changed them all. At some point you just have to say 'okay this is just complete bullshit' and stand for the things you create. Otherwise everything ends up in this corporate bland soup of nothingnes

Mail is dropping features left and right, like gmailify. I'm pretty sure they're trying to limit the maintenance costs as much as possible.

So how do we ensure that Tiktok doesn't covertly alter the algorithm to subtly include propaganda tailored to China's geopolitical interests that are detrimental to the US? Or even just propaganda tailored to enhance internal stri

I'm extremely skeptical about this, I once believed the internet would do something similar and it seems to have done exactly the opposite.

So what's a good alternative for Android and Windows/Linux usage? I've tried Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox and disliked them for one reason or another.

This whole article is terribly confusing. Take this paragraph for example: Now, your process might depend on other system resources like input and output; as this event is also a process, it also has a file descriptor, which will be attach

Keychron has too high latency for me, I'm hoping this has a more acceptable input lag.

I think this desire for understanding ultimately drives the resistance to systemd and the Linux/BSD divide, and I think for good reason. There will always be friction between features and inherent simplicity/ability to understand

The article was talking about the first computer science guy in a team of mathematicians. I don't know if mathematicians should be called technical, but they're hardly MBA types.

I definitely think it's a mistake that IKEA stopped printing their catalogues last year. The offline experience is totally different from online. Online I tend to do direct searches for things I already decided I want, but the IKEA cat

I'm a heavy touchpad user and the sole reason I will not use Linux for the foreseeable future is because touchpad usage is absolutely terrible on Linux. Depending if you use the libinput or synaptics drivers it's either completely

I remember about 5 years ago I tried to deploy it on CoreOS using the available documentation and literally couldn't get it working. I haven't done a manual deployment since. I hope it got significantly better and I may be an idio

I can't think of a single benefit of a function over a comment for a piece of code that's only used once. The downsides of the function: - Unless the function is extremely clear like max() or min(), you will have to read the funct

Within docker-compose.yml I use services: foo: image: foo/bar:6.9 user: ${UID:-1000}:${UID:-1000} On Linux with Bash it runs with your current user and most other platforms it runs with id 1000, which is setup as

I love the fact that the Thinkpad X1 has dedicated physical home/end/pgup/pgdown keys. I wouldn't consider buying a laptop without them anymore.

It never costed $56 billion. It's just $56 billion worth of goods held up for a few days. A bit like a bitcoin payment.

They don't explicitly state that the rewrite is better? They just mention that they reduced the amount of code from 160,000 to 85,000 lines. Using competing teams for this purpose seems like a waste of money to me.

I find it insane that the European Union doesn't really seem to care about any of this. It's a massive drain on their economy. They only seem to talk about chip manufacturing, which only recently started in the first place.

Do you want to buy my synthetic dollars with the price pegged to a dollar? edit: I just realized this is exactly what USDT is, but I still feel like it will all come burning down at some point. Maybe it will take 30 years though.

> Women / men of this age tend to be attracted to people who are interesting rather than wealthy. I seriously doubt this. Looking at myself I care a lot less about 'interesting' people than I did in my twenties. Maybe in
