- The author uses dash (-) not em dash (—), there is a big difference in that everyone has a dedicated dash/undersocore key on their keyboard, but nobody has a em dash key. You can use word processing software etc, but using em dash consistently throughout a text is very unnatural in casual written texts.
- Can we not do the computer game analogy? it breaks down quickly
- I have an intel/nvida 4080 pc and im running a regular Arch install, rocking KDE on Wayland. It works flawlessly, just installed the drivers and that was that. Stop inventing problems that do not exist.
- If there is one appliance in my house that does not need a LCD screen and «smart» features, it’s my fridge. It was installed maybe 6 years ago, I adjusted some temperature settings and I’ve never touched the dials again.
- I don’t think leaving a platform you don’t enjoy has much, if anything, in common with physically relocating. I left X, but I have an account i use to log in about once a week to see if there’s anything worth while. I haven’t really found an alternative to X, things are fragmented now. Where I used to be able to follow most people I were interested in on Twitter, i now have some on bluesky, some on mastodon, some still on X, a bunch at instagram and YouTube… it’s a mess
- They «read» for shorter amounts of time. Reading for hours on an OLED can be fatiguing, especially if you stare at a LCD at work for 8-10 hours everyday on top of your reading
- I experienced the same thing first time I took them onboard a plane. The APP has so far been a disappointment for me. They do have much better NC, but at the cost of issues like this and worse sound quality
- I'm objectively faster. Not necessarily if I'm working on a task I've done routinely for years, but when taking on new challenges I'm up and running much faster. A lot of it have to do with me offloading doing the basic research while allowing myself to be interrupted; it's not a problem that people reach out with urgent matters while I'm taking on a challenge I've only just started to build towards. Being able to correct the ai where I can tell it's making false assumptions or going off the rails helps speed things up
- CoPilot isn't anything Microsoft is trying to sell outside of their own products. And with GitHub Copilot there is no "copilot" model to choose, you can choose between Anthropic, OpenAI and Google models.
Sure UWP never caught on, but you know why? Win32, which by the way is also Microsoft, was way to popular and more flexible. Devs weren't going to re-write their apps to UWP in order to support phones.
- its a tech demo and devkit. Hopefully Apple is working on an actual mass-marked ready product.
- And their training reflects this. I've served in the army, but not in the US. Some units did get crowd control training, but it was very unusual and specific for their deployments (they were going to Kosovo). Preparing these units for crowd control required weeks of training.
Crowd control is pretty much the opposite of modern warfare, with large number of troops marching shoulder to shoulder forming shield walls, even having supporting cavalry.
- > Foreign nationals waving flag of their nation, attacking citizens and being in country without permission. Smells like invasion.
This is such a tabloid and uneducated take. These are riots or unrest, not an invasion. An invasion is a military offensive by a nation-state or global entity. If this was in fact an invasion, the US should invoke NATO article 5.
- yes! my thoughts exacly. its the arrogance of a junior engineer
- CI or VCS is worth diddely squat if you dont organise your thoughts
- The thing with a laptop or tablet is that setup time id nearly nothing, so just kicking back in the couch or anywhere you can quickly reply to an email or do some work. this setup requires sitting down at a table or desk. this little overhead will create enough of a barrier that you wont actually do it unless you plan on doing some serious work. So that makes this at best a desktop replacement.
- Please provide sources
- This is the reasoning of a young child. How do you even define merit? Nobody, except maybe high level athletes are hired on what can be considered merit alone. To do so, you would have to remove people from the process altogether. Those who hire new talent have to evaluate more than pure results. Maybe they have to chose between two people, one is a rockstar with the results to show for it, but not a team player and puts themself first. the other is solid and dependable, better at mentoring, but with more modest results. Its not a given who will be hired in this case.
For example I'm running a pretty sweet calibre-web automated setup with Kobo readers. Ive changed the storefront on my kobo and have seemless sync OTA of selected shelves. And even I struggle to get my wife to choose that setup over Amazon kindle. The very minute there is a single snag, normies (sorry wife dear) lose interest.
