To me, the bigger problem is the lack of ability for Android phones to register an AirTag as recognized. They've never done anything to address the problem of "drive your wife's ca…

Every preset with powerlevel10k-style segments don't support hiding empty segments. Look at Pastel Powerline, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox Rainbow, Catppucin Powerline... https://starship.…

I'm surprised Starship is so popular. It's missing really basic powerlevel10k features like empty segments. If you look at some examples: https://starship.rs/presets/gruvbox-rainbo…

is famously really flawed and not worth using even if what you want is semantically a number and not just numeric: https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/12/26/why-the-number-input-i... T…

While this is mostly true, there were similar techniques even before XMLHttpRequest. iframes could communicate with parents, and also JSONP. I think JSONP was mostly pioneered as a…

Heh, I saw this thread just recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1euwht3/webstorm_is... Most discussions I've seen, including that one, say that VS Code is slower tha…

I feel like accusing someone of lying is a bit of a leap. I would just guess the guy you're replying to lives somewhere easier to drive than SF.

My friend's been learning programming with Github Copilot and gets refusals there sometimes, for seemingly no reason; so here's an example for you: https://d.pr/i/XSiepe

Yes, most microwaves with dials do in fact work like this. Compare the the distance between 0 and 1 with the distance between 5 and 6 on this microwave: https://www.amazon.com/Pana…

You're misinterpreting that sentence. This overview of the case was posted: https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/cases/duffy-v... And in it, it talks about Google's defen…

You don't have to write good UX from scratch to get non-OS scrollbars, there are CSS rules that let you style scrollbars while keeping most system scrollbar features and accessibil…

I suppose "nobody used that product anyway" is way more true of Microsoft's dropped projects than Google's, and that's important. Everyone here can name Google products they loved …

I'm pretty sure Caroline deleted her Tumblr accounts because a Twitter mob was digging through them and doxxing her friends (many of my friends were scrambling to hide their connec…

There's a sense in which cookies can't do any harms besides tracking, while a browser extension can do much worse.

The EU laws require the banners to be shown to all EU citizens regardless of the country they're in, right? I think the only way to be absolutely safe is to show cookie banners eve…

Yeah, I like my AirPods Pro precisely because I don't need to disconnect them from the previous device to connect to them from the next device. Bose NC 700s and Sony XM4s both have…

Equilateral triangles can fall in. You have three dimensions: the height of the triangle is less than the side length of the triangle, so it fits in near the sides of the hole. The…

I also have this problem (it might be related to my ADHD). 2x speed (with occasional pauses/rewinds) works much better for my retention; I've often explicitly noticed myself not pa…

That seems really low. The point of copyright is to incentivize people to create more art, so We The People can experience more art. If you're not going to sell your art, why are w…

I don't think "it's there because the A/B test says it works better" is a good reason to lie in a fundraiser. If I say "please donate to support my dying child", this will probably…

Yeah, this would be much more persuasive if he gave more reasons about why not to buy from Amazon. (Mine shipped with a minor issue, but the seller agreed to reimburse me for the p…

I've poked around with Wireless Diagnostics in the past and I've never seen any graphs or signal strength metrics. It's only ever created a diagnostics data file (which takes many …

The big unanswered question there is: Why go through the effort of making the headers real, if you want to intentionally filter out the kind of people who would look at them?
