    I'm sure there are many better alternatives to .env, but its ubiquity and support across various tools makes it super convenient. I'm using 1Password's .env integration[1] and alth…

    > typing is a joy on the increased size Huh. I hate typing on my phone (iPhone 16e). It actually never occurred to me that maybe I'd have a better time with a larger screen. Althou…

    The regulations currently require all passenger aircraft to be able to maintain positive static stability, which is inherently at odds with the aerodynamics of an all-wing design. …

    The design has been in the works since at least the late 1980s which is when the B-2 stealth bomber was developed. For an all-wing design to work the onboard flight control system …

    I appreciated both yours and the parent's comment. I read the shorter answer first, which was accessible enough to a layman like me that I was left wanting more, which made reading…

    Note: I never said it should be different and certainly wasn't arguing for any side. I was merely making an observation that the settlement seemed like a good deal (for both partie…

    It's not bad value at AUD$4.99 per month (education pricing). I only really use it for Final Cut Pro though.

    I stand corrected then. It's been over a decade since I last used Photoshop, so my familiarity with its capabilities are obviously well out of date, I never would've considered it …

    Surely you've got Photoshop (raster) and Illustrator (vector) mixed up?

    IANAL, but the parent comment quotes "any profits of the infringer that are attributable to the infringement", which I take to mean it's the profit Anthropic stands to make based o…

    It's unlikely the USA would be granted an exclusive patent for the atomic bomb given the well-established existence of prior-art in the form of nuclear fission on the sun. (I actua…

    Thanks for sharing this, I'm not sure I would've come across it otherwise. Ironically, watching the two shorts had me second-guessing whether what I was watching was actually AI-ge…

    You mentioned Bosch and I can't think of anywhere or anyone else who'd be interested in this little bit of trivia, so a random comment on a thread about filing the edges off a lapt…

    I have a static route configured on my home's gateway that enables any device on my network to access Tailscale. I have Tailscale turned on my iPhone pretty much all the time anywa…

    Given the hour this is making headlines, they'll be posting a lot of CDs to the antipodes.

    I can't speak for the others, but registering a .aero domain requires submitting an application that's reviewed by a human and assessed based on the domain's relevancy to the aviat…

    Some of my favourite fonts I only discovered because I first visited a site that included it in their design.

    I've owned several pairs of AirPods over the years and this is the first I'm learning about some of their features. I almost found myself wanting there to be a third column for ind…

    I absolutely adore my 2018 jailbroken LG OLED, although it pains me that everything I love about this TV are features the manufacturer actively discourages and wishes I never had a…

    I think that's what everyone is going to think. Hot take: At least they're ripping the bandaid now instead of stringing users along and eventually abandoning it like they normally …

    I never really used the Antigravity IDE, but had it installed. The update also made me do a double take and wonder what the hell was going on. It seems like Google is hitting the r…
