If all you ever read is what you can read for free, you're condemning yourself to reading nothing but slop forever.
oh you bet they are
A shot at the Tolkien-obsessed SV dipshits who think they understand theology better than anyone else?
Honestly, I would have preferred the ability to search within PDF files.
"Added a command to the View menu: 'Gather Untitled Documents'. This will collect all untitled (never saved) documents into the active window, removing them from other windows (and possibly closing those windows in the…
The question doesn't make sense. LLMs don't "hold opinions."
This app is a good idea but the help refers to a "Help > Install Command Line Tool" menu item that does not appear to exist.
Been constructing a lot of infrastructure servers recently, almost all of them FreeBSD VMs running under bhyve on FreeBSD physical hosts. It's a very simple, clean, pleasant environment to work in. And they all run…
This is an interesting project.
I like it. Simple, fast, easy to use. Much better than most of the web these days, although honestly, that's a regrettably low bar. Most of the web these days is horrible and has been for a while.
"Fuck me"?
Not sure how that's relevant. Still think the statement is false.
I think DFW is wrong and the statement "Everybody worships" is false. I don't worship anything I can think of in any meaningful sense of the word.
Question as posed is unanswerable. There is no "best" in general. There are only horses for courses.
I've been watching this with some interest so congratulations to the team on this milestone. I think there's a lot to like about this editor. For me, though, the showstopper that makes it impossible to use it as my…
Has anyone actually been waiting for this? Maybe, I guess.
Author discovers that doctors and hospitals know more than he does and actually have reasons for using acetaminophen as their analgesic of first resort. Also, "The body is really complicated!"
Came here to post this if it wasn't here already. I'll point out, though, that it's still only April. Plenty of time for even dumber conspiracy theories to take hold!
FWIW, I think the article "Passkeys: they're not perfect but they're getting better" at the NCSC web site is a pretty fair assessment of the current state of things. I certainly understand and appreciate the benefits of…
AIs can never fail, they can only be failed.
Introducing children under the age of, say, 15 or so, to video games should be considered child abuse. Nothing good can come of it.
FWIW, I had a conversation with an AI about passkeys. Seems to me like there are real potential benefits to (1) companies that implement them, (2) people with bad password practices, and (3) people who use one or two…
Exactly. "Passkey ties it to your device" sounds like a huge step backwards to me. Tech companies seem to have no idea how much I hate my phone.
I've been avoiding them and intend to keep doing so as long as possible. I've had passwords handled perfectly well for almost 20 years. I do not see passkeys as having any particular benefits to me and do not want to…
I don't know what most people did. I know that the business I worked for then needed to transfer relatively large sets of files on a regular basis. We owned hundreds of zip disks. This was after Syquest disks and before…
