Didn't you see someone else? If it's physical, it should be way easier to diagnose than most. Edit: I mean someone who specializes in hearing.

They have more to fear from apps under the Chinese government's control. How does that dismiss the parent's claim?

Everyone else can ignore every coding guideline your team sets up, that’s why code reviews and managers exist.

It's not a separate language, you can just start typing your programs right now.

Did you get "connection reset by peer" when you sent a bit too many requests perchance? I've never found the source of that in my programs. There's no server logging about it, connections are just rejected. None of the d

Every datapoint reduces the number of people it could belong to. CPU + browser + browser version + OS + major OS version can narrow it down by a lot. Then add resolution, IP address location (which VPN they use is also a datapoint), which t

Slightly off-topic: why does git have such a near-monopoly on VCS? Mozilla might use something different, but I haven't come across a new project that used something other than git in at least years. Usually there are at least a few ch

I don't imagine the best people crying at being forced to use VSCode instead of CLion.

Safari has a special interface for content blockers to work without any permissions. They provide blocklists and the browser does the blocking itself. [1] Don't know if that's an option in Firefox. https://developer.app

That sounds stupid, thanks. Guess I'll be careful when I set up lambdas.

Iterate over all S3 buckets in your terraform files and add `force_destroy` to them [1], then apply and destroy. There could probably be an automated tool for this that wouldn't be too complex. [1] https://registry.terraform

So the lambda function will survive, but billing will still go to zero when the lambda's last execution finishes, right?

That's only going to affect part of your apps though. Last I checked, Firefox on Ubuntu finally had a kind of pixel-perfect scrolling, but it wasn't smooth and didn't keep momentum if you let go of the trackpad while scrollin

The cursor moves the same way, it's just a bit harder because you can't let go of the cursor and start over from the corner of the touchpad with more room to move once you've pressed. But thanks to acceleration, you can move

That's why I mentioned Ubuntu; if anyone has incentive and resources to contribute to all these projects and get smooth scrolling working it's Canonical. If _they_ can't, I guess that means the whole community is screwed on t

Beginner here, but shouldn't `terraform destroy` make this very easy? Assuming you deploy everything with IaC.

I wonder what customer sizes really matter to them. Are the bulk of their revenue a lot of small/medium-sized companies paying a few 10-100k a year, or do they have a few government/bigcorp whales subsidizing the service for the r

> I filed an issue[1] on cosmic in hope they'll get it right, but I don't have too high hopes that this is of much interest. That's insane but you're right. Firefox on Ubuntu had awful trackpad scrolling 10 years ago

I think you're using it wrong. You can travel a whole screen with one trackpad move if you move the finger fast enough. Maybe you didn't hit a high enough acceleration?

I hated the trackpads I used before buying a macbook, and one of those was a high-end XPS, the best I've seen on Windows. The mac ones are definitely an improvement. Both hardware and software feel better.

Sure, but then how good are Transformers at making connections between distant concepts? The brain seems way better at this, and it doesn't feel like conversation.

The brain is able to make better associations than an LLM. From what I’ve seen, LLMs always stay on topic, even when that means outputting only platitudes. A human can go past that and try different approaches to a question. It can also tak

I've never heard of an LLM making up a new idea. Shouldn't this only work if your thing has already been tried before?

Maps is still good. GMail still works. Most of their big products aren't awful. It's funny that Search seems to be going down faster than the others, given that this one actually makes most of their money. I'd have thought th
