    I would imagine that both companies have extensive internal tooling to address this concern; likely at multiple levels.

    I'm not sure how much insight we can glean from looking at the number of commits and release cadence here. In the aftermath of such a major refactor/rewrite, I would expect it to t…

    Well, I wasn't intending to violate any guidelines, and I don't believe I've dismissed the article besides. I was just trying to save some people from potential frustration, as the…

    Note that this post includes a major spoiler for the show The Good Place . The show is fantastic, so I'd suggest not reading unless you've already finished season 1, or have decide…

    I know that an uncommon name needed to be chosen, but something about the hyphenated /.well-known/ just turns me off. I'd have really preferred another term: registered, reserved, …

    Yep, they solve the same problem. I built my blog on Harry Roberts' ITCSS paradigm some ten years ago, and found it extremely easy to migrate to cascade layers. They're an underuti…

    Personally, I forget syntax all the time. There's always a warm up period after I switch languages, and it takes me longer to be start writing good, idiomatic code. Like sure, I ca…

    Sure, and Microsoft acquired DOS, and Adobe acquired Photoshop. At a certain point though, after 20+ years of development, you need to give some credit to the new owners for making…

    > Did vibe coding the business page inject it into ChatGPT's training data? No, at least not directly. Inference does not train models. It is possible that OpenAI may separately co…

    "Open source" as a term has evolved due to its success. It wasn't some malicious attempt at redefining things from the technical elite. It was a natural shifting of language, as ha…

    Sorry, too busy "stealing code" to answer right now.

    This is a pretty banal comment at this point. Open source is the term used in the LLM community. It's common and understood. Nobody is going to release petabytes of copyrighted tra…

    Well, yes, but that's why it's behind an about:config flag and users should not enable it without understanding its effects.

    Single Page Applications use the History API to create a working back/forward history within the SPA. This will cause you to navigate away on use, and potentially lose data.

    Chromium does include an ad blocker for "intrusive ads". ie. Those using many resources, flashing, auto-playing sounds, or otherwise behaving badly. https://support.google.com/chro…

    Manifest 3 explicitly enables ad blocking through the declarativeNetRequest API. It's trivial to do so, and many blockers exist in the Chrome Web Store.

    Removing film crew, boom mics, and missed props from a scene would surely be useful to studios. It may even enable some shots that previously would have been impossible due to the …

    Windows has a native (cloud-based) dictation software built-in[1], so there's likely less demand for it. Nonetheless, there are still a handful of community options available to ch…

    Bazzite KDE picked up my 8BitDo controller immediately, with no prior configuration. I didn't even have to manually pair the Bluetooth. I was very impressed.

    Many people will likely be watching this show for the first time based on this thread. Please don't spoil major plot events for them.

    Just in case you missed it, your quote was referring to encoding requirements. Decoding (eg. Netflix users) will have a different set of requirements. The situation will also impro…

    Well, because it means that other energy generation sources like oil, gas, and coal aren't being used there instead. Since they cause far, far more harm than nuclear waste does, it…

    Thanks for clarifying. It looks like I needed to refresh my memory of the browser APIs. Reading further, this API only works remotely for CSS via chrome.scripting.insertCSS. For JS…
