Really wishing I would have realized that before buying my Sony Bravia TV a few years ago. It's basically just an output device for my Roku, I don't want/need any of the built-in smart TV junk but a recent update now…
Just read the original Ars Technica article he "borrowed" all the images from. It's a great article I've referred back to many times; it's better-written and still easy to understand for those not familiar w/ the…
Could someone explain the difference between SARS-CoV2 and COVID-19? Is the former the virus and the latter the infection?
I wouldn't count out a company based solely on a poorly-written job description. Those are often put together by less-technical recruiters or the HR department. And yeah, maybe the team that's hiring should be more…
I was curious as to why neither C# nor .NET appeared on the "Top Technologies" graph. Then I realized it apparently combines C, C++, and C# into a single bucket, given that the same tag [1] also shows jobs for all…
> Awesome. Now what does all that mean in English? Well, simply put: [ccebb 677ce 28f77 86558 2d7cc d67b4 e8f31 8c393 ae867 13593 aa869 3c265], [c0021 72510 cee7a 31580 554d3 d49a6 306b9 c1f2c 60c1a 1157c f44c8 31273],…
Short story: he was a big deal back in the day, has had a couple pretty big stories but these days he's much less influential. Now he blogs very infrequently, largely concentrating on his slightly-creepy obsession with…
Fairly certain that's his wife. He's made a couple mentions of her as "the young and lovely" Mary Alyce and I vaguely recall once that he specifically discussed shooting the photo for that banner and mentioned her.
> I’m not married to an editor so much as my bindings. Agreed, and it's extremely annoying that VS Code has different default bindings on different platforms. I switch between Windows and Linux a lot and there's no…
Yes, agreed. In general I guess my point is, I'm not willing to spend several more years of my life while they continually rearrange things that don't matter. I just want a stable, well-supported distro that gets out of…
> we'call it ip for ... "internet protocol"? Why is this ip tool managing my ethernet network card? For CLI tools I use every day, their etymology is far less important to me than their brevity. "ip" suits the bill…
In other words, they've made a lot of big changes right before an LTS version so that they can get wider usage with those who don't mind being on the bleeding edge. Sounds like they're doing it right :) I'm putting a…
I've been using Stackpoint for a while and they do a great job, but be aware that they'll soon start charging $50/mo, which will remove them as a tool for hobbyists. https://stackpoint.io/#/pricing They haven't…
Because Kubernetes is a complex beast with many moving parts, and learning about all those moving parts becomes more and more important as your usage grows. Personally I've used Stackpoint.io to provision some small…
Why don't you ask Linus, I'm sure he will calmly and respectfully explain the answer while apologizing for the trouble :)
Games updating DLC is nothing new and is not what this is about. Google did recently change the Android permission model; previously, apps had to request all their permissions at install time and it was all-or-nothing…
Neither Google nor Apple nor any other game platform is going to stop games from downloading new content. That's just how games work these days. The reason this type of "hot code push" is more attractive on iOS is…
This sounds a whole lot like the Keybase filesystem (in intent, if not implementation): https://keybase.io/docs/kbfs
Heh, I thought maybe they were sample collection pouches...

>I've been using .NET professionally and for hobby projects since version 1.1. While initially sceptical of this new MS platform, I was quickly sold on C# compared to Java And I'm sure your early inclinations were then…
Haha, since Subversion was born in the height of XML frenzy, they figured it was a good idea for the built-in web interface to just output XML and a default XSLT. That way if anyone wanted to customize it, they could do…
Yes, yes, yes. For example I am perfectly okay with Google slurping up every bit of data they can about me, tracking my every move etc. because the benefit I receive (i.e. really spooky-accurate suggestions & info in…
Couldn't agree more. If .NET Core had been around 5 years ago, I never would have bothered to learn Rails. That's not a knock against Rails (ASP.NET still can't touch their "it just works" asset pipeline), but I've been…
How else would you propose they give any level assurance that it's real users signing them?
