Contrarily I wish people used 'Nx times' more often, especially for 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. It's more welcoming and less pretentious.

Unrelated to this current focus on the weakness of using a phone number as a contact reference, I have experienced a different problem. If a user has ever used Signal previously an…

it really comes down to what you're building. many web app startups would be better served paying for PaaS that manage this for them. as an example: Netlify/Vercel. if you need a d…

Texan politicians didn't miss a chance to blame wind power for the outages. Unfortunately, those initial lies are still circulating. The primary cause was that the pipes supplying …

Anything we can read or watch on the transformation Amsterdam made?

Oliver's most recent ditty did roast Biden remarking 'I can taste it. I think he could've done more to roast previous administration policies.

Wild. The technicality of earning a doctorate to be called a doctor is no more.

Along the same lines of utterly dominant and lesser known, Jahangir Khan in the sport of squash. Most famously for 555 consecutive victories.

A merger can eat that soul in the same fashion. Such as Boeing effectively becoming McDonnell Douglas.

Would be popcorn to see Epic make a saucy donation to the Godot project at this time.

I don't recognize this company anymore. What a gibberish announcement. Their game engine is hardly discussed. Apparently the future is ads on mobile apps.

Inspired tonight by this photo, I made this little tribute piece on my synthesizer: Webb Awakens https://drive.google.com/file/d/14mdhZ8yPdKarB8GHbWXToY9v_03...

While the modding restrictions are bemusing to me as well coming from open source software, the introduction of Wabbajack a couple years ago greatly streamlined things so that you …

while Mozilla has dropped official support I've had no issues using FirefoxPWA addon for similar functionality

has there been any attempt to pursue this legally?

do you have any sourced examples for this collusion? a friend of mine bailed the craft after being offered minimum wage and a 60 hour requirement in the kitchen of a Michelin star …

As a hobbyist musician I'm bemused by the stickiness of the concept of a DAW. There are so many all-in-one devices that meet the definition of each letter in the acronym. But DAW i…

when did 'demo' begin use as a shorthand for demonstration?
