Unless I have missed something (always a real possibility to be fair) there are also no clear details about what DOGE is, what its powers or lack thereof are, what its staffing is, or what its actual processes will be. We’ll find out more w

It’s already slimy that social networks, Meta’s most prominently, cut users off from the people who choose to follow them unless they pay for these sorts of things, so this is just slime on top of slime. All our most valuable companies, rol

It's a gamble, because as of now they're not even the most popular soccer league in America let alone the world. Liga MX (Mexican soccer) ratings destroy them for the obvious reasons (the league the US's largest most passiona

I'm sympathetic to the extremely legitimate security concerns here, but it's pretty rich for the "open, we're so open" company to be running a classic 90s Microsoft Embrace Extend Extinguish playbook on SMTP/IM

In my own experience, it's a solid but outdatedly old-school code editor, but it shines spectacularly in text processing. I always tend to use other editors as my daily driver (TextMate, Atom, VSCode, whatever the new flavor is), but I

It's hard to sell in an article because all their releases say Performance Improvements, but this version actually appears to be noticeably snappier in a way that makes a difference in my day to day usage, which is great.

The page mentions 89% of the features available in Starter being available in the free tier. Is there a good enumeration anywhere of what those features are and what they 11% that would be lost is? I'll need to evaluate this for my co

Are most if not all of GitLab's future CI and CD improvements going to be focused on using Kubernetes and/or containers exclusively? We're not using that method of either hosting GitLab or deploying our software at my company

It was available in 2009 in a fairly cheap Ford sedan. Microsoft Sync got a lot of shit because from what I've heard, the touchscreen version was a total mess, but the voice only version before that in my car's been pretty solid.

So by this logic are we also removing Augustine, Aquinus, Decartes, Kant and the dozens of other canonical western philosophers whose arguments were substantially religious in nature? I suppose we could, but this leaves a pretty thin curric

The thing that's craziest about the MAS to me is how bad the actual application is. It's super slow, constantly hangs, and is just such a bad experience from the consumer side that it undermines the (very real) benefits of having
