Google can both be worse because of the web results declining in quality and terrible product decisions. It is of course much easier to see one of the two, and make an alternative …

It's somewhat unfortunate that, at least in my experience, its rather that non-technical people try to implement with a LLM of their choice these days. They don't look for experts …

It's not entirely uncommon, even companies like Volkswagen have 3 weeks of summer vacation. Strictly speaking, some people still work there for maintenance, etc. that can't be done…

VR has so far failed to reach an amount of people to make developing games for it really worthwhile, and the metaverse really doesn’t have much going for it either. I don’t really …

How the platform and the vendor split that money is irrelevant to me, and I’m not convinced this would become cheaper - evidently consumers are willing to pay the current price, so…

The manual pointed out this can happen at higher compression levels, but they were able to reproduce it at all levels.

That’s simply not true, sadly; you’re very much reliant on the company not attempting to sue you. Counter examples (not implying these have been successful, but it is also not unhe…

LTE/5G data is extremely expensive in Germany compared to essentially everywhere else in the EU. Here’sa comparison what 30 EUR per month for you in terms of LTE data volume in 201…

They could very well convince me to pay a subscription fee if they promised to not change the site anymore. Sure, that’s not exactly a great business model, but I do wonder if they…

I’m inclined to say that’s more due to integrated gpus not being a good replacement if you need CUDA or play games; If a better combined alternative existed (and not at an outrageo…

My DSLR camera has a mini HDMI out that you can use out of the box, doesn't require the camera to be in recording mode or such. It simply gives you the live video feed -- rather th…

Some fonts also just have different variants with and without ligatures, for example Cascadia Code/Mono: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code

At least in the US, unilateral no-fault divorce is possible in nearly all states.

I wonder how much that translates into actual use. A lot of internet providers (in Germany) technically include a landline using VoIP, but that doesn’t reflect the number of calls …

Too short passwords being generated sounds like an issue that IMO violates user expectations, the other two do not.

I’ve seen break label a handful of times for nested loops. Whether that was the best choice is of course always up for debate. It’s definitively possible to replace and not a neces…

That's not exclusive to Ruby, though. Is there a language in which a project of at least a small team would not diverge? Devs at my current dayjob have established, in multiple rou…

I run my blog using perhaps the most boring option - Wordpress, with close-but-not-quite the default theme (different fonts mostly). Outside of adding a cover image on every post a…

See, having reasonable typed exceptions is perfectly acceptable, but that's rarely been the reality I encountered. About every method in our code base has the same 3 checked except…

A vaguely similar project, for the world of George R. R. Martin: http://www.westeroscraft.com/

The steam API allows servers to verify a player owns the game and provides a server list. Actual networking once players are connected isn't part of its scope iirc.
