Do people really not remember the hell of every device having it's own cable which was incompatible with all the others? Going around to a friend's house and finding out, no, they …

It was diffs in state that got sent to the client, so recomputing them from the current state would have required having the previous state.

One way it explicitly doesn't scale (unless something has changed since I last checked and my quick search failed me) is the hard limit on 8000 bytes of data in a notification. If …

"All" really isn't true, most AM4 Ryzen chips don't have iGPU (unless they are specificly APUs), and a lot of Intel chips have popular 'F' SKUs without an iGPU.

“Incredibly”? The US does exactly the same thing in another case: denatured alcohol.

They literally arrested people for quoting Charlie Kirk in tweets after his death.

Look, I absolutely agree it sucks they didn't deliver the opt-out/in interface day one, it was obvious people would want it, and yes, it's not the first time they've blundered. At …

"Agent Readiness" will likely age as well as "Web 4.0 Blockchain Integration" has. (To be entirely clear, not because agents won't be a relevant thing, although certainly I have my…

Well, my issue is that "one layer" implies you can just stack it on others, especially if you say "as many layers as one is able to manage", it implies the best option is to add ob…

I'll push back on this: obscurity isn't a "free" layer of security, it has both security benefits and security costs. By having obscurity you lose anther layer of security: public …

Firefox also has a setting like this, although I think it's even nicer in that it makes everything (current and future) AI default to opt-out, but still lets you opt in to specific…

I expect in the future we'll find out that someone in the industry was juicing the numbers with fake thinking tokens or something. The whole pricing model of charging you for the t…

To me it reads as being worried that someone malicious could step in and use the project's name to do harm. If you don't have someone within the project with trust built ready-to-g…

> That's why Thunderbolt eGPU setups don't perform as well as plugging the GPU directly into a PCIe slot. The bigger factor is probably that PCI-e tunnelling at most a ×4 link, whi…

There is an obvious difference between someone who is still actively involved in running something and working on it, profiting from it's success in the market, and using something…

And people treat Mozilla like the devil when while they make mistakes, they routinely fix them too. E.g: when people had concerns about the AI stuff, they added a general opt out w…

To be fair they seem to have taken this often-stated criticism on board. USB 4's naming is more sensible, and they've pushed the simple data speed & power labelling that makes it e…

That's a guess by the article author and frankly I see no supporting evidence for it. Wrapping " " tags around it or whatever is what I'm describing: you can do as much signalling …

To be a bit more charitable: I'd say that generally games involve a lot more special-casing than most code, and more planned out scripts (in the movie sense) of things happening, w…

Everything to do with LLM prompts reminds me of people doing regexes to try and sanitise input against SQL injections a few decades ago, just papering over the flaw but without any…

That's not the user experience though, the user experience is it says "go to the discover app and install " and they do that and it just works. Downloading a tarball is not the nor…

This is true, but also the original comment still stands: Linux desktop usage outside developers was so low that it was barely worth mentioning before, so even a small uptick like …

Yeah, because no third party program has ever crashed on any other OS. Come on, this is an absurd comment. Linux has its issues, this is not a serious example of what is keeping no…

People do this, yeah. Even on Windows I've been over someone's shoulder walking them through something and it drives me nuts they work in a tiny window in a random part of the scre…

This "logic" doesn't track at all. Enfranchising women may have benefited the party, does that mean we shouldn't have given women the vote and doing so hurt democracy? Of course no…
