    Literally next week Bitnami will pull all of their Docker images from public use. They were relied on by many people but since being bought by Broadcom, they just exist to be milke…

    It's funny that you mention this because in my discussions on this subject (Svalboard, ergo keyboards in general) it's the first thing that numerous people have mentioned. The thin…

    How do you even get to the point of installing F-Droid without first setting up Android, which, in my experience, requires a valid Google login. When I set up my Android device, th…

    Firefox would have to be seriously broken for me to consider moving away. Chromium's lack of ad blocker support is a deal breaker.

    Every reply is talking about how wind doesn't make sense, how its uneconomical, or how its a nuisance. I can offer an opposing take: My father has been using wind power in a semi-s…

    However, the implied meaning is significant. This site is full of engineers who, if they're good, invest a lot of time into understanding the implied meaning of what's said.

    There really aren't any HOAs in the UK. Some newer houses have a covenant which resticts some things but people push back on those pretty hard.

    Unfortunately, lots of end users refuse to read the password policy and won't understand why their password reset interval is "random" or shorter than their colleague's.

    How? Postal workers shouldn;t be carrying things that are too heavy. I suspect the USPS would have to arrange a special delivery.

    We have a similar thing in Switzerland for the gastronomy (food and drinks) industry. The industry is pretty abusive - here and abroad - so the "union" makes sure there's protectio…

    Funnily enough, that's exactly what they're doing in this announcement. They're rewriting `tsc` in Go and shipping native binaries, rather than shipping JS.

    Seeing your comment, and all the comments that follow, is reminding me of the "Misconceptions developers believe about X" posts that circulate on here occasionally. It seems like t…

    I replaced the USB port on my older kindle with a USB-C port when I did the same for a bunch of devices. Not an option for everyone but if you have the time and patience (and a lit…
