Someone replied to his final tweets and ended with “#ChatGPT response”. It seems like the most sad and dystopian thing to me.

I got 19/20. Turned off True Tone and cranked the screen brightness. Half the time I didn’t know if it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but it was interesting to notice how t…

As I understand it, Dokploy Cloud [ https://docs.dokploy.com/docs/core/cloud ] makes the hosting "managed" by removing the need for Dokploy UI to be installed on your own VPS. With…

I will have to ask them for specifics, but I believe they are on an older iMac (pre 2017) that cannot run Ventura or newer. If they are running Ventura, they may have simply overlo…

Someone else pointed this out, I didn’t know. Although, yes, if they needed to close any prompts that might have been a problem.

Not the Magic Mouse, though, unless you’re very skilled with your fingers.

If I had known that rebooting would re-enable Bluetooth, that would’ve been a good fix in this particular situation. Although I do see how it can be annoying under normal circumsta…

Interesting. Didn’t know, will have to check that.

For sure. I did say ‘if it had happened to me’, though. And I do happen to have SSH enabled on both of my machines.

Interesting! If that’s the case, great! But I believe the couple in question is on an older iMac not upgradeable to the latest version of macOS, so they would still be out of luck.…

They do, but instructing them to enable Bluetooth using only the keyboard didn’t seem feasible to me.

Given very careful instruction this might have worked. But I didn’t know this trick myself to begin with. Now I do!

Yeah, and as it happened this was an iMac with a Magic Mouse, so plugging it in was also not an option.

:) Well, add that to the list of things that didn't prevent or solve the problem, unfortunately. Also, I was thinking: If I was in that situation I might SSH into it from a differe…

Thought I'd share a little story from today: I was on a Zoom call with a few others, and suddenly the husband of this elderly couple proclaims that their computer 'stopped working'…

Haven’t thought about that, but it doesn’t sound wrong. Will have to look into that

Yes, on an OLED panel dark mode saves energy, but not on, say, an LCD panel

Presumably all called Steve.

I see. Don’t know if you’re still checking for replies on this thread. Livin’ up to my name. Thanks for taking the time to explain, though. I’m going to have to look further into t…

I don’t understand your distinction between “the browser” and “HTML” in this context. The browser is merely the interpreter of the language, but the HTML specification lays out how…

Let me be clear about what I meant by whitespace insignificance. When you put plain text into an element, that is equivalent to a string in typical programming terms. No, whitespac…

To be fair, HTML treating all whitespace as insignificant was absolutely the right call

I entirely agree that the explanation in the article is somewhat confusing, because we're selecting 3 items starting from #3 in a list, counting both from the top and the bottom. S…

I was confused about "robot-axis" for a solid two minutes before I realized the article is about "robo-taxis".
