    I've been on public WiFi that blocked UDP (except for DNS to their local server). No sites require HTTP3 to function so it's not disruptive to a normal user.

    It did introduce ambiguity though. Without the comma it is 100% clear that sentence lists 3 people.

    Apple pages are _completely_ unusable because of this. If I go to product page I am unable to navigate it to extract information about the product. I give up and leave. https://www…

    Not really. The equilibrium of removing daylight savings will result in schedules somewhere between DST and Standard Time. This just gets you there faster. The trade off of having …

    Seriously. This page terrible with multiple annoying rendering delays, and I'm supposed to care about helping their RSS feeds load faster?

    Are you seriously comparing a random hacker to a lifelong academic for their odds of becoming a crypto shill?

    Do you think the submitter intended this as an ad? His post history doesn't seem suspicious. Or do you think article's author wrote this an an ad? He's a reputable academic who see…

    There are times when an em dash can be used in place of a semicolon, but I don't think that's the usual LLM usage. Instead it's replacing a replacing a comma, colon, or period. Unl…

    It's hard to take complaints about UI consistency seriously when the cursor is changed for no reason at all (with a barely-different hover state, too).

    And a GDP 2/3 the size. And way less than that by disposable income. Even users from "rich" EU countries are worth ~30% of a US user to most companies.

    But that's undefined behavior, so the compiler is free to ignore that possibility.

    For context this article was written when 95%+ of websites used HTTP 1.1 (and <50% used HTTPS).

    That's running 5 miles a day. Everyday. That takes months of training for an already fit young person to build up to. 90 minutes of extra walking is a lot of time to offset a snack…

    The in-memory solution creates a 2nd copy of the data so 50GB doesn't fit in memory anymore. The kernel is forced to drop and then reload part of the cached file.

    I actually can't tell. The majority of these are literally examples of bad regulations. They have mass appeal without care for 2nd order effects. The top of the page is a banner ra…

    Despite the title, the article doesn't talk about "iffy internet" at all. It's all about "slightly slow" internet which is a complete non-issue except for large downloads (e.g. mod…

    "Is the parcel in the geographical bounds of the city name entered?" The "city name" on an address isn't really a "city". SFO's address is "San Francisco, CA", but is not within SF…

    In some ways, yes. "Changing clocks" is the easiest it's ever been. We should be looking into changing them more often, not less. Two levels of daylight savings might be better tha…

    You can download your Tinder and Hinge swipe/like stats, so it's likely accurate. The sad part is that this what "success" looks like. The funnel looks way worse for most guys.

    Nope. The 1st Amendment (as currently interpreted at least) doesn't protect non-citizens against deportation. See Harisiades v. Shaughnessy
