I think the issue is that the marketing is a half truth. Standard is in fact majority owned by content creators, it's just that the marketing makes you assume that the creator sayi…

I mean, when you're the one selling the gas to light that money on fire you have a vested interest in keeping it that way right? I do agree that logging and spans are very similar,…

For the current crop of LLM it's more that anything a human has created before, an AI can mimic.

Thanks for this. It completely escaped me and all I saw was the changelogs deprecating the very limited set of style rules I've used for years.

Yes! This is called binding in zigbee parlance. I have a couple of ikea bulbs and switches and, if memory serves me, you can bind up to 10 bulbs to a single switch.

That sounds awesome. I've dabled with something like that but only for lodash (makings sure all different flavours get aliased to a single thing) but I never went too far with all …

Devil's advocate here: did we consider that any such exponential back off goes out the window when users, faced with a non-working site, will just refresh the page therefor resetin…

Very much this. And when people give up it can take one of two forms: Either the person quits. Or the person resigns to giving mediocre output and coasts. Neither is good for the b…

Thanks! I had completely missed that development. TIL

If I remember right, they were forced to sell the theme park business when they were in dire financial straights in the early 00s. While Legoland still exists, it's now a license a…

I agree with this sentiment. I find that most developers seem to be stuck in thinking of their components as imperative. They expect to alter the state (dom) directly instead of de…

Wolfsburg? Doubt it. But Ingolstadt? A bit more likely. The Audi R8 shared quite a bit with one of the Lamborghini models (can't remember the name). And don't forget the SUVs

I believe they did it on this video called "Can You Trust Kurzgesagt?". They also removed a few of their older videos at the time because they had this exact issue of presenting as…

Shout out for WACUP. Just found out about it recently and was pleasantly surprised to see Doctor.O was behind it. Now there's a name I still remember from the old winamp forums. He…

It takes less than 5 seconds to upload personal data to a server from a compromised extension. Not saying you're doing this but it was the first threat scenario that came to mind a…

"As a rule we don't want our developers talking to our partners" was something some I know was once told. Luckily that friend no longer works there

I remember that Microsoft got stuck with a 16 character limit for a while thanks to hotmail.

Agreed and they tend to get worse with age for cheaper models since the already low contrast symbol tends to fade away with time.

It's interesting that codes for the Nintendo eShop have certain similar looking characters blocked off even in the keyboard you use to input. That way there's no question even if i…

Yes, this is a real problem and I've been bitten by it more times than I can count. Now I always keep this handy website ready: https://doesitmutate.xyz/

And I've spent far too much of my time in my last project explaining double entry bookkeeping to coworkers to little effect. I had to watch has they re-invented the wheel. Sadly I'…

To be fair the system already has something like that. If you complain to the Home it'll ask if you want to provide feedback and give you a few seconds to verbally explain what wen…

I usually forget my shortcuts and rely heavily in tools like alfred (or the Jetbrains find action shortcut). It reduces the amount of shortcuts I need to remember. It also reduces …

For steam at least I think the problem would just go away if Valve would allow trusted third parties to activate a key without ever revealing it to the user. Then publishers could …

It would be pretty cool if there was a way to add tasks straight from Alfred
