    This is the simplest solution that enables the behavior that I think most people who care enough to comment here want

    Side note: I'm noticing more and more of these simple, hyperbolic headlines specifically of statements that public figures make. A hallmark of the event being reported is a public …

    It's all well and good until the MBAs get a hold of it... Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum.

    This is very welcome as a parent in the USA. It is also sound legally, and was a long time coming. Nothing of great value is being lost and in a year users will have moved on to so…

    This is so obviously the nail on the head. Shocked how far I had to scroll

    Bluetooth 5.2 was supposed to fix this issue. Indeed, my S22 phone with Jabra Elite 8s sounds great in calls. MacBooks newer than 2023 SHOULD have better call quality. They have Bl…

    Neither are exactly a 1:1 replacement, but check out backblaze and syncthing. A combination (syncthing for device sync, backblaze for offsite backup) might suit you. I was impresse…

    A 1/8 chance of fixing a bug at the cost of a careful review and some corrections is not bad. 0% -> 12% improvement is not bad for two years either (I'm somewhat arbitrary picking …

    Western American wilderness is different than Europe--it has very few human improvements. Personally I'd love to see it retain that character and I think this is the wrong directio…

    The one counterpoint I'd like to make here is tat. Imo it's better to leave minimal high quality, long lived gear than soft goods that deteriorate over time that can make for a dan…

    Sector67 is still healthy! They have a smart, incredibly dedicated and frugal BDFL who got them through some lean times. I think in general it only works if there is a strong commu…

    Noctua makes some nice, slightly ruggedized 12v high static pressure fans.

    - Amazing translations (this alone is a game changer) - Language learning... The ability to improvise realistic conversations is huge. I can ask to talk about cooking a specific di…

    But doesn't this seem like the correct approach long term? Basically shelling out to what essentially amounts to a fact table when it gets a factual question

    Why do you program? It won't go away, it'll just be different. You probably don't know x86 or arm instruction sets anyway. This will be a much faster, easier way to manipulate symb…

    Nice. I'm going to dig through these tomorrow. Thanks for posting! The PR review helper looks excellent and I'm excited to try it out. Til about `pandoc` and `glow`. I whipped up a…

    I agree this is a stunning clip and a disgusting display of nepotism. But I wouldn't say this clip is stunning (other than the temporal proximity). Sounds like this dude likes to r…

    First of all: If you have the title of "DevOps" what you're doing is "Operations", you aren't practicing DevOps. Anyway, this company has had incident after incident. This will kee…
