If the price of privacy is children, damn the children. We're having fewer (nowhere near few enough, but fewer) of them anyway, they should not be used as a reason to restrict everyone else. Especially as they become…
The phrasing they chose is particularly amusing, since it's always false regardless of the day. They could have said "usual service", and left in the plausible acknowledgement of the fact that it's hot, cramped,…
Yes, ish. Shopping is delivered, cooking is a hobby (or takeaway), cleaning services for a couple of hours a week is often practical even if actually having a full time housekeeper isn't. Convert money from the…
It's a pretty sensible policy, really. Corollary to Hyrum's Law - do not permit your API to have any behaviours, useful or otherwise, which someone might depend on but which aren't part of your design goals. For…
16GB is _not_ sufficient if you have Jellyfin or Immich or similar and a lot of media you want to scroll through quickly; I've found I need a lot of ZFS cache for that to be as responsive as I want, even with SSD…
Straightforwardly, nobody with the resources to build and maintain a browser could ever be trusted to do so, as they get those resources from somewhere, and it's going to be somewhere unacceptable (ads, trackers,…
I feel like you're trying to be sarky with the "#winWin", but genuinely yes. If the tradeoff is that someone gets to feel important and have a plaque put up with their name on it, and something good but expensive…
ESP32-C6, and associated dev boards.
This factor (95% of "your audience" not being interested at the time) is the core of why all marketing is unavoidably scummy. I don't want to hear about your product _ever_, except on the day I am looking for a product…
Seagate have an Exos M in 36TB for about £450, so 24 of those could do it. Three vdevs with one parity drive each? Call the project £13k? Not exactly a production grade setup, but it'd do the job and you'll see fewer…
This seems entirely sensible to me. If I was offered the choice between doubling my salary or keeping the same one but halving my days worked in a year I wouldn't consider the former for more than about half a second.
Relevant - and old enough that those five years have been successfully granted!
The AI's assessment of him seems somewhat apt, really, even if it doesn't know much about Notion.
Note for people who were interested in these: Wowki want you to pay for their highest level plan to get the thing that is actually useful/necessary - a fully offline and private version that integrates with VSCode.…
There is a lesson in these repeated incidents that really needs to be learned by both industry and individual developers - if you intend, when putting the first publicly visible version of a project out to the world,…
Why? I'd venture that a plurality, if not a majority, of people who can write well cannot create good digital art, and vice-versa. The use of AI images on a blog post, assuming you're there for the written content,…
They just shouldn't do that. If they can afford to sell the Ferrari for $20k, they should do so. To everyone who wants one, for whatever reason.
The degree to which a science is valuable is proportional to the degree to which it would keep working if we finally wiped out humans and the goddamned whining stopped. Physics wouldn't notice, sociology would become…
It also needs to be able to do this _literally door to door_ and without having to sit next to, speak to, or touch anyone I don't know. Cars are a privacy bubble and a shield, not just a transport mechanism; no form of…
I would envision a "spectacular failure" at boiling eggs to mean the pot boiled dry and the eggs caught fire, burning down your kitchen.
The military's difficulties with the hacker mindset and common neurodiverse mindsets goes deeper than "culture". The military wants/needs to be able to give orders and expect them to be followed. An _active rejection_…
The tricky thing about that (which isn't false, per se) in the context of mental health is that "relieve some self reported symptoms" can actually be sufficient treatment. As with many sorts of pain, if the patient…
Where's the lie? The economy, the system, is a machine. The humans that happen to compose it are by and large either raw materials or wear parts, not output. People can be having an _awful_ time while the system…
Transparent pricing and a free/evaluation tier that is feature complete but scale limited, rather than feature-gated. With that combination I can put together a really tiny "this can do X for us and would cost us Y at…
My grandmother had (among _many_ others) an aphorism along those lines: "after dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile". I have no idea where it came from, and was/am unwilling to leave the house and walk a mile…
