I want it to be forbidden for anybody. They have stolen our attention for years

I finally switched to duck duck go, not because of the AI push of google, but because of the constant nagging popups to download the google app. Just let me google things in mobile…

When will they introduce GitHub for Business?

Truly a great library. I have become so reliant on it, because I can basically have a guarantee that some complex process will run eventually, instead of manually catching and hand…

Everybody who cares about music will immediately turn off recommended music with AI. Of course they're not transparent about it.

> The typical way to do schema migration is to compose a list of ALTER TABLE statements. This becomes hard to track the latest schema state as the migration accumulates. It's more …

I agree that this is the ideal solution, but you can't exactly retrofit a place you rent with completely new plumbing.

Think about having one plane (the entire glass) pressing 2 microswitches. Debouncing one switch is hard enough, now you've got to debounce 2, and detect if the user was doing a rea…

macOS has both. if you keep dragging after opening the menu, the mouseup will activate the menu item.

I still want some app that makes the awesome brouter algorithm usable on iOS. They have an android app which is "easy" to do since the routing module is written in Java, but alas, …

Then I'm afraid it's not possible. The reason the input switch takes so long is because of the HDID negotiation. A video mixer acts as the source and sink for the output and the in…

That is usually out of the question, because raster tiles don't allow you to customize the map (colors, which features to display at which zoom levels, etc). I find openstreetmap w…

There are lots of usecases for apps that don't need these advanced features, and just want a nice backdrop for their geo data. The current offerings of google, mapbox, bing, etc ar…

Open your eyes and look at the "one size fits all" solution that we have today. Cars upon cars upon cars. Alternatives such as public transport, walking and cycling have always bee…

Nobody is talking about taking away cars from people who live outside of cities. Yet this argument always comes up when problems with cars in densely populated areas are discussed.…

No web version?

Yea, I wouldn't have a problem with that regulation if it would be applied to only these critical areas. But it seems that they want to apply this directive to all software that's …

I'm so tired of it all. Countless times it has been tried to enact laws like this. And it's not just this surveillance law that depresses me, reading up on the cyber resilience act…
