> Although with current trends we might instead get a chat bot prompt “tell me how you feel about where you want your files to be” That almost feels too optimistic. Google Drive al…

You’re not wrong, though it seems like we’re going to wind up with: box-sizing: border-box; height: calc-size(auto, round(up, size, 1rlh)) Solving most of the big issues before thi…

Australian here, and the differing wording on the site kind of changes my answer. I believe I 'can' but also that I 'wouldn't'. I'm not worried about theft, but see 'reserving' a s…

The relevant rule from standard chess: > Leaving one’s own king under attack, exposing one’s own king to attack and also ’capturing’ the opponent’s king are not allowed. N6 and K8 …

The author pretended they addressed the obvious criticism. You can read the skill. They didn't do anything to mitigate the issue, so the criticism is valid.

They have subscription plans for their software, and a seperate billing process for the API. There's nothing to change. 'Accepting that it's a dumb pipe' would just mean removing t…

600 days is less than two years, while not being one year. (“Fewer than two years” would mean one or zero years, but… don’t write that)

The second paragraph of the article somewhat misrepresents the study. There wasn't a group that chose to opt out, and another group that chose not to. Everyone agreed to be in the …

Apple highlights a different use case than Valve, but the underlying program is equivalent. They’re both forks of wine ( https://www.winehq.org ) - the game porting toolkit's main …

Apple’s ‘Game Porting Toolkit’ is basically Proton; they just haven’t made a GUI for it.

Given that people have access to LLMs themselves, publishing their output in lieu of good documentation (no matter how sparse) seems like it’s mostly downside.

From 2005-2007 it was available everywhere. It was a purely US operation, but the internet is international unless you take active steps to stop it. In 2007 the copyright lawyers c…

For me, it's been 'gone' since 2017, when they shut down in Australia. They used to be available everywhere, but locked off international audiences when laws became inconvenient. (…

And if you want one subscription for popular & classical music, Apple Music is miles ahead of Spotify. Music.app is already better than Spotify at handling the relevant metadata. B…

From the first version of iWork, the inspector panel had the same basic purpose and layout as the sidebar. (Screenshot: http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/120609-inspector-win…

> I'm confused. This seems like a bad change. It’s a good change in that it discourages unwarranted funding. Bad for the DoD’s budget, good for the country. It’s analogous to why `…

Language changes. In this case just the spelling though. "Almaund mylke" is all over medieval cookery manuscripts, among other options. We’ve been using milk for non-animal product…

The CSS Object Model. HTML comments are basically just a HTML tag that isn't rendered. Tools that 'compile' the HTML code into a document tree, including browsers, preserve comment…

His podcast with Louie Mantia in July was pretty clear with it, though it also suggests why he’s given significant criticism of the design direction, but mostly just has quips and …

This is silly. Sketchfab clearly notes the original file format when you download a model, and lets you choose between it and various other converted formats. [Example: https://img…

A script tag would be able to call setHTMLUnsafe, bypassing whatever sanitation you configured. I’d’ve made it a runtime error to call setHTML with an unsafe config, but Javascript…

Seems like most AIs generate the hiking boot emoji, and accept that as being a hiker emoji. If you specifically tell it not to do that, you get hints of similar behaviour to OP, bu…

The entire idea that numbers would be treated on a character by character basis rather than as numbers is somewhat intuitive for developers and not for non-technical people. The an…
