    > Safe languages usually want to abort if they encounter an out-of-memory (OOM) situation. SQLite is designed to recover gracefully from an OOM. As someone who runs into this probl…

    The website is regenerating the clocks every minute. When I opened it, Gemini 2.5 was the only working one. Now, they are all broken. Also, your example is not showing the current …

    Same story for me, but with the 15 Pro. The Pixel 7 phones were huge so I just switched to my first iPhone.

    I suppose they technically could overlay more ads, but they've already had mobile apps, Chrome and Chrome OS for decades and have never gone that far for obvious reasons.

    How does a native app provide any "more surface area" for ads than a web page? Are they not displaying on the same screen?

    The amount of "looses" (loses) typos I see everywhere lately is actually crazy

    Strongly agree with this. Many authors and video creators have interesting, valuable things to say, but they don't exercise restraint or respect for their audience's time. If somet…

    I agree whole heartedly. It seems clear to me that art and knowledge will transition to more private and/or undocumented experiences in the coming years in order to preserve their …

    I did the same, but I'm still holding on to Reddit with many restrictions: - No mobile apps - 10 min/day time limit on web - Only browse 6 subreddits individually - Filtering all p…

    Yup. The steps are definitely rooted in Christianity, but you can exercise them however you want. As you might imagine, most people suffering with addiction are not that religious …

    It sounds like you use CSVs to build static websites, not store or update any dynamic data. That's not even remotely comparable.

    There's a noticeable difference to me between exercising my thinking skills and feeling mentally exhausted versus consuming lots of media and feeling "hungover". I get that exhaust…

    I'm looking around and I don't see anyone mentioning what I think is one of the biggest advantages of debugging: not having to recompile. Even assuming print statements and debugge…

    Mozilla should be more focused on figuring out how to actually make money and not this sensationalist stuff. Depending on how the Google case lands, they're finished.

    My time in college was 10 years ago, but absolutely none of that was true at the time (I personally seen pretty much everything you referred to as "not allowed"). I find it very ha…

    I don't know what country you're in, but I'm almost certain people your age are not meeting each other on Instagram. It is not really a platform to meet anyone, especially not in t…

    Ditto on loving Quartz and the chat app around 2015 I think it was. After Quartz was gone, I didn't really find what I was looking for until I discovered Axios.

    It doesn't sound like much of a wild guess to me. Basically every single publication is letting customers sample their news before paying (free articles, free trials, etc). This is…
