How the problem and request are presented matter. "I don't know where to start" is a different problem than "I've done nothing, just solve this for me." And how someone shows an ef…

When numbers are confusing, it's usually just a recalibration. Hub 9 aligns with cloud 33. But they are switching Hub to a dated numbering scheme because it's intended to be timest…

If you have 100 different jobs that were supposed to run over the past week, but didn't because offline, when you restart, they they all flood the system on start. 100 jobs all run…

Another problem is that having better frame pacing, or better timing stops mattering if the OS decides to reboot for updates mid game. Game experience is much more than just game p…

Some people have TVs or displays that only use HDMI. I personally wouldn't recommend HDMI if DisplayPort is available, but if HDMI is your only option, then having it work properly…

I was merely trying to convey that when I go to a restaurant website, I want to: see the menu, make a reservation, see hours. There is a specific list of reasons I would go to your…

This is why I bought a 3d printer. Headphone piece broke. Replacement was covered under warranty. Once. After that it was $30 a pop from amazon for the replacement part. Both of th…

_should be_ for your customers. Business minded folk can convince themselves that "ads are for the consumer because they benefit from knowing about our great deals!" but everyone e…

"You" can't necessarily do anything (you would be making a lot of assumptions about the influence this person has over the decision making process). "Someone" can cancel the migrat…

"Own" the movie in quotes is interesting. Because you own the physical medium, but the data encoded on it is still copyrighted and can be treated in some ways like a license still.…

There are plenty of ways that money could have solved this though. More thorough prep/training for camera operators, so they can pan the camera according to a plan, instead of by r…

Yes. Search works for finding things once every few months. Or, I've found that they tend to not really be that far down the list, because I only use a few apps per month anyway, s…

KISS is a complete paradigm shift from other phone launchers. It takes some getting used to. It has made me rethink how I use my phone from time to time because I have it set to so…

I agree with you. My use case doesn't call for perfect uptime. Sounds like yours doesn't either (though you've got a pretty deep pit yourself, if 240v and generator weren't part of…

Power outages here tend to last an hour or more. A UPS doesn't last forever, and depending on how much home compute you have, might not last long enough for anything more than a br…

They shouldn't be ignored. but they can be ignored, is the problem. File permissions are not encryption or security: If I can't read a file on this machine, because I'm not root, I…

no? A file system is the format that the data on the disk is stored as. If you mount an ext4 disk as ntfs, it wouldn't load properly. It's not just the interface for loading the da…

You could argue whether or not it's a "feature", but one of the thing ghostty claims as an advantage is the out of the box configuration. With no config at all, ghostty looks nicer…

A space elevator doesnt just take you to the karman line (like in the OP website), to get to orbit, you'd need to get up to geostationary height. That's 22,000 miles. What's the be…

I think they aren't referring to "where does it go?" and more being forgetful. If you have something that would be reasonable to open on any workspace because it's ephemeral (they …

I always had a keybind to toggle gaps. sometimes certain layouts just feel congested, and the gaps put spaces between the windows and helps them feel like they are in their own spa…

There is indeed a fine line between desktop environment and complete DE ecosystem. Having spent a long time on i3wm, I learned a lot about how to build your own DE effectively. The…
