Viewing profile — frostiness

Perhaps this is an American thing but I have never once seen the term "cooking" being relegated to only situations where one is making food completely from scratch. However, the di…

This is also true for pretty much any other category of search that you do as a layman. Specific, targeted queries for official documentation or research are fine, but if you look …

As someone who also menu-3-1'd their way through the SAT, I'm surprised it was ever allowed. Super useful outside of school but knowing that a good portion of my classmates using T…

Unlike other websites though, VPNs are generally banned from posting on 4chan, which would definitely hurt traffic.

I can't help but feel this is backpedaling after the AI hype led to people entering university avoiding computer science or those already in changing their major. Ultimately we mig…

The problem is that it genuinely is. One of the appeals of AI is that you can focus on planning instead of actually doing running the commands yourself. If you're educated enough t…

The entire comment is a direct quote from the article. I don't think it was meant as an insult, just a note that the author of the article already was exempting the top level poste…

You absolutely can, but it's way more common to only know how to create a blank site with a framework than to migrate an existing site. React used to have a section in its document…

I'm glad someone here says this. I'm also an amateur radio operator, and I very frequently see people who are otherwise against public resources being exploited for commercial purp…

> The electric-vehicle maker also argued it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. This doesn't seem to be a very good case study when the core argumen…

Sounds like a symbiotic relationship to me. The attackers get to advertise their capability for pulling off attacks, and Google gets to advertise their ability to stop them.

Is that really the fault of the public domain or a reaction to the fact that Winnie the Pooh was copyrighted for so long? The appeal of horror Winnie the Pooh in almost every singl…

> The situation the author described where the system comes to a halt as memory contents are paged in and out of memory/disk is (subjectively) worse when the only option is for the…

It's not about managing. It's about the friction to reaching out for help and lost productivity from having to schedule meetings combined with inexperience making it hard to decide…

I do the same, and honestly it's why I still use Firefox on mobile at all. But stock Firefox (which is what most people use anyways) has clear issues.

It's an S7. Though newer phones probably don't have as noticeable performance issues, it still indicates that the browser's going to use more power even if the performance is fine.…

On the other hand, as someone on an old android device, the performance difference between the two is massive and it isn't getting better. Some sites (usually the ones that are act…

This is the primary reason I use it. Time to try out other sweeteners I guess!

You can have both. People can intentionally choose platforms that make them feel less free in exchange for convenience. It just means that the convenience (and network effects) tha…

This seems useful for portability of accounts. Does anyone know if this would allow someone to use the same handle and switch Mastodon servers at any time, similar to changing emai…

If you look at the list of top sellers, new arrivals, upcoming games, and games on sale, most if not all of them have native Linux support, which is something you absolutely could …

I don't even own a Steam Deck and I've been seeing the benefits just from its existence. Now, almost every game on Steam has a quick accessible rating that lets me know if it works…

Are you sure you're not on a network that may be blocking the site? I had the same issue but it went away once I connected to a VPN.

Every now and then I see a post like this one that laments that the age of web pages looking unique is gone. Sure, I can agree with that, but it's hard to say that it wasn't a good…
