What types of things do you want to be able to see?

I really want to stop using Google maps but the issue I have with every other option is that I can never just search for the place I want to go to. 99% of the time, the place I am …

You don't even need a TV license for BBC news.

Could you elaborate more on what you find useful about it? I'm struggling to think of a time where an assistant would have been useful in any chat I've been in, but this seems like…

Why is this a subscription?

This is why jj is the only other VCS I have been interested in. Compatibility with Git repos is a requirement for me

Is this really the case? I feel like most windows users just bought a laptop with Windows already on it. Even if all home users were running pirated versions they would still becom…

I think they define selling software as selling a file that people download. Which is a pretty reasonable definition to me. With SaaS you are selling access to your servers.

This is such an interesting idea. Might as well try it Edit: didn't last long (about an hour). Needed to show some one a photo and had to turn it off.

The article brushes over the idea of a binary open source/proprietary in favour of a range of openness. Talking about the different degrees of openness in open source is a valuable…

I feel that this conflicts with the definition of open source software. It's important that we maintain that definition. It's also worth having and discussing this idea of a 'spect…

NFC is still possible. You just need something you can program over USB

I have tried plenty of times to get it to work. My colleages have done the same. It just doesn't work for the kind of coding we are doing I guess. Maybe I am terrible at prompting.…

Micro QR codes are a thing however they cannot store enough data for even a basic URL ( https://google.com ) All QR codes are using some amount of error correction plus the locatin…

Seems perfectly reasonable to retract the award when they admit to breaking the rules. I think they need to define the rule better though for future years. "Games developed using g…

Anyone else cringe at this kind of swearing-filled stuff. I'm all for people expressing themselves however they like but I just personally cringe at it for some reason. I have no p…

None of the models currently are able to make competent changes to the codebases I work on. This isn't about them "making mistakes" which I have to fix. They completely fail to the…

The great wall of china being visible from space is the one that always annoyed me by being so obviously wrong. Just because it's really long isn't going to make it more visible

Just started using OpenSCAD recently and love it. While most CAD tools have a million features to learn, OpenSCAD is completely described by a cheat sheet you could print on a piec…

Yeah, language choice and the way your organise your code seem orthogonal to me

A lot of bots will be able to make requests from a range of IP addresses. If you rate limit one, they just start sending requests from the next.

It annoys me that big-tech marketing has made most people believe that "personalised advertising" means they get ads which are more "useful" to them. I regularly see people opt in …

JJ doesn't support git LFS is a common reason.

`grep laugh *` worked for me
