So don’t allow accounts with ages set below the limit like they already do for under 13s. Why does this translate to every other site wanting my government ID or a scan of my face?…

I’m very interested to watch (not as much to experience…) what this will do to economies like Australia where the middle class and up are driving a shockingly large percentage of a…

Thats just… weird? Why would you want to use somebody else’s fridge? Like I get its a few hundred dollars but they last decades. The Samsung fridge I still have was the very first …

My experience with eSIM has so far been quite negative. I’ve upgraded phone twice since being forced to use one by my carrier and it’s been a pain both times. The initial setup of …

This reads like more overworked salaried employees mentally justifying spending their own time on work. Once you start setting the expectation that you’ll spend your own time doing…

Rather than improving testing for fallible accessibility assists, why not leverage AI to eliminate the need for them? An agent on your device can interpret the same page a sighted …

While not a complete rebuttal, allow me the following. I manage a team of 4 scrum masters each with 5-6 engineers. We provide services via a user interface we'll call the console, …

Just as I’m sure producers would love Australia to stop labelling produce for use of hormones and pesticides. But in both cases, there is a consumer interest in buying high quality…

He seems to be intentionally missing the point of most of the complaints in order to direct away from his core area. The many legitimate criticisms of windows poor user experience …

Possibly too little too late. Even my uninterested family and friends are moving over to MacBooks just due to not enjoying windows 11 or not wanting to upgrade hardware to get a mi…

Yep, declarative mode is what I use, tried the data mode with loaders and it never really agreed with me as a pattern.

I have yet to reach the limits of doing a Vite create and installing react router myself for the several entirely client side apps we manage. It has sane build defaults and for wha…

I had a play with this and you’re right, it does have a style, but first: this is awesome, and good fun, well done! I think the system prompt or training data probably focuses on m…

Challenge is we ended up with one really bad streaming service but lots of capital slurping up all the licenses. In my ideal world, the regulator would prevent using exclusivity as…

I’ve posted before about my half-in half-out life between Japan and Australia, and the media I consume is a product of this. Anime, while not a massive part of my watching habit, i…

While these are cool, I honestly wish GRUB was silent unless you’re holding a key during boot. The 5 seconds it takes to go away and just boot the OS by default is really unnecessa…

I agree, and in the space I spend most of my time in regulatory compliance, the adage ‘its not done until its done’ applies, so showing 100 is almost never helpful unless it actual…

Both the video and related post are incredibly high quality productions. The animated circuit diagram on brown paper in the video is a very approachable way to explain the problem …

With the US seemingly entering a period of isolationist market settings, some portion of foreign investment is bound to be heading back out either to home markets or elsewhere inte…

Your example of web devs writing drivers is why I posed the question, as go is very much not a widely used web dev language, and the devs who know go may not at all understand the …

Would be interesting to see a follow up in a few months on whether the tradeoff from a heavier but widely used stack to a possibly more performant but certainly more esoteric one w…

It does suffer slightly from looking like it was developed in the 90s. The UI kit it uses by default looks very out of place on most modern platforms and despite their being other …

Switching equipment for anything over gigabit remains triple or more the price here in Australia, so these standards might be great but even the 2.5gb port on my desktop is useless…

I don’t understand what value the users would get out of such an environment and therefore why they would keep interacting? I find the same with Snap’s AI they put at the top of ev…

To be fair though, in places like Sydney, the 1% are buying most of the houses, having most of the good experiences, and living a very much better quality of life. You could be in …
