Not really the point of the article but the praise for NIN participating in the culture bothers me, because in the late 90s one could visit nineinchnails.net and just straight up d…

In the early 2010s I uploaded an ALAC copy of an album through iTunes (and I guess iCloud Music???) that still has not appeared on any streaming service, and it remains accessible …

Consumers are already paying Amazon and Netflix directly.

I don’t think excel can give me the instructions for building a house or how to cook a particular meal or write my emails for me. The potential output of LLMs is quite obviously mo…

Not really, the purpose of Excel is pretty clear cut and the scope is small. Preventing a human-like general purpose textbot from engaging in certain discussions and performing cer…

It's a cute and funny name.

I'd rather not get a bunch of ticks while walking to my door.

How would you keep it from filling up with weeds in any reasonably grass-friendly climate? I just pay someone $50/week to mow my lawn and I pay zero attention to it. If we have a m…

Unfortunately we get the inflation anyway from military action in/around Iran.

Hopefully there's a way to opt out of the inevitably worse experience for those of us who like scrolling through TikTok. The web was already getting bad with ads and popups, but th…

This style of layoff seems far more common post-2020 than targeted "restructuring". I've lived through a few layoffs now, survived most of them, but each time and at each company I…

> We're doing Electron because the ability to create truly cross-platform interfaces with the web stack is more important to us than 300 MB of user memory. It's closer to 1GB but t…

It won't be "happening" until Slack, Teams, and Discord leave Electron behind. They are the apps that need to be open 24/7.

If the page is lazy loading content then the local ctrl+f is not going to work, obviously. If you’re hinting at an argument about whether lazy loading content should exist, that’s …

That is a great question for those in power to figure out before the masses get upset enough to harm them.

Content creator Michael Palmisano of Guitargate shares his experience of having his verified business account on Instagram deactivated without any warning, explanation, or clear pa…

It's been more than 10+ years that I've been able to Option+Click the green button to fill the screen. Works for any app, and always has, unless that app explicitly disallows resiz…

The video you linked is from 2019. A lot has changed with Thunderbolt capability and the Studios now have enough ports/bandwidth to handle audio processing needs to multiple boxes.…

Like I did with regex some years earlier, I worked on a project for a few weeks that required constant interactions with jq, and through that I managed to lock in the general shape…

Luckily I'm near the median age, so it actually has been like that for most people. :)

Respectfully, whether it "actually happens" is irrelevant. We want to prevent it from happening.

Why are you comparing prices from a time when most people in the US weren't even born yet? Comparing with the 90s seems reasonable because nothing is dramatically different about t…

I remember my parents complaining about how expensive concessions were when I was a kid in the 90s too, and sometimes we would hit the gas station first and stuff snacks in my mom'…

> And yet same specs iPad + Magic keyboard will cost you twice as much It's not about specs, it's about capability. You compare the Neo to the wrong iPad. The base model iPad + key…
