At the beginning of the pandemic, Italy was the butt of the joke until everyone else got into the fun.

I think the difference is that they expect to not break tests most of the time. So most of the time this just saves time.

It’s like when you merge a documentation PR while the tests are still running: You’re pretty sure that the tests won’t break. With this solution however you’ll still be pinged if they do break, later.

I disagree on GitHub Desktop.

The whole point of the UI is so that your workflow is simplified without having to understand the exact inner workings of it all.

GHDesktop’s simplicity means that most of time I don’t have to call 4 commands to just check out a new repository or PR because one click runs all those 4 commands and more.

As simple as it is, lately I rarely have to use the CLI (which however I still use because I rebase and fixup)

The fact that “takes you away from the terminology” sounds like people complaining that Windows 95 users don’t know what MKDIR means: That’s the whole point of UIs.

This metric is hilarious and perfect.

Technically it’s a family business that I grew up into and I ended up being a developer because at 14 I made the restaurant’s website with Macromedia Fireworks and Dreamweaver.

I don't think the story ends here.

If the tests are the issue, they can just send another DMCA specific to those pages.

Either way, I think in the US anyone who has the most time and money wins, so… good luck with SLAPP.

Bad for so many reasons (including abuse of GitHub issues, spam, and the ability to change the URL the short link points to)

If you want your own private shortener, I have a better idea:

Use GitHub Pages and create a `/1/index.html` (where 1 is the short link name) and add a “refresh” meta tag in it. Completely static and no build/JS necessary.

This could be opened up to others by combining it with issues and GitHub Actions, but who wants that?

Another better idea for a private URL shortener is hardcoding a list of URLs in a CloudFlare Worker. Much faster and with real 301 redirects.

That’s the issue. Linux runs everywhere and is not a consumer product, that’s why I exclude it.

Until you can build your own general-purpose PC and can decide to make it ARM, it will not be considered an equivalent option, it will just be another tablet, “chromebook” or “board for hackers”

Restaurant owner in Italy here: We usually don’t offer pizza at lunchtime because it takes time and wood to fire up the oven and keep it at temperature. Low request volume means it’s not worth it, at least for small pizza places.

If you want pizza for lunch you head to a bakery or “bar” and they have squares (not “slices”) ready for you to pick up.

Is there anyone shipping an ARM motherboard and ARM chip? I think the "openness" is also defined by what the market offers. All I see are non-extendable notebooks.

Also until you can run non-linux "desktop software" on one, it will always feel like a "tablet"

To be fair, this isn't their first shot at ARM processors, they've been at it for longer than a decade (Apple A4 was launched in early 2010)

The AMD64 "emulation" on the other hand is brand new.

They were included up to a certain resolution and duration, if I remember correctly, which covers most videos shot by the average person.

I have trouble handling others’ mistakes if I’ve corrected them before, they acknowledged the mistake, but they keep doing them.

What am I supposed to do with people who won’t learn from their mistakes (in the workplace)?

I’m directly affected by them as they increase my workload, so I can’t just ignore them.

Envy.

I wish I could just drop that kind of money on what is essentially a piece of art.

You sit on the couch every day, with other people. It’s very useful.

This, not so much. Visually it’s not far from a framed newspaper and its utility is limited.

It… looks cool and I wish I could afford it though.

I’m ok with this. The alternative solution would be to kick the hotel off of TripAdvisor.

As a business (TA) I wouldn’t want to have to deal with troublesome properties, honestly. This action would be a good enough deterrent from others to follow the lead of the resort.

On one hand, if users aren’t comfortable leaving bad reviews, the site will only show high scores.

On the other hand, if you want to be the review platform, people can’t think you can’t handle negative reviews.

Sounds like a bad deal, comparatively. Microsoft skips the low-level interfaces but gives you redundancy and usable UIs and services (on top of an API)

Videos aren't free though and I feel that those 5 GB will start filling up pretty soon, which means you'll have to start paying anyway.

10mb per file only if you average videos, multiple sizes/formats and assume some redundancy. The single photo file stored by Google averages 2 megabytes.

I’m not completely familiar with Amazon reviews, but if I remember correctly it’s not super clear that you’re reviewing the product and not the seller, and how to review the seller specifically.

This difference is irrelevant when the seller is Amazon, but very relevant when it’s not. We all know how Amazon blurs this line, so the confusion is understandable.

That said, I hate it too, and it’s Amazon’s fault.

I did and it's never good enough for me. I just re-did my last non-trivial search on ddg and none of the first page results were useful.

Weak argument.

1. CERN is made of scientists; Their job is to measure stuff. SSC relied on a third party.

2. Their published studies are indeed open to replication/verification. "Hey we just achieved speed faster than light, believe us" doesn't just happen.

I figure you've never received any pull requests. PRs RARELY are good to go, most of the time I have to put as much work as they did to accept them.

Except for a few contributors, most just pushed a single PR, which means they never get to learn how to contribute autonomously.

I've turned to reject PRs that are half-assed and ask me to finish their work.

They don't help me, they only push me to work more for free for something that they want.

> had to live like regular people, rent regular rooms, apartments, houses, shop at regular supermarkets, etc.

This varies by location, but that’s what I’ve always done. I generally skip all touristy activities until the last moment and just enjoy the different environment, food, vibe, people.

Living away from my hometown is advantageous enough.

The only way to “crush the nomadic style” at the moment is to allow oneself to travel within their own country (or with very limited international travel).

This is likely more expensive than living in Thailand. I can’t afford nomadic living in the US.

Google and Apple already have the power to remove apps from your phone, I don’t doubt they could do everything else, should they want to.

Additionally, what this app does has definitely been possible forever through device management certificates; this is just an application of it.

Welcome to the modern web, where you exist only to consume ads and the content doesn't matter.

You’re giving spammers too much credit. If the email doesn’t contain a clear unsubscribe email I just click Spam, because that’s what it is.

In reasonable jurisdictions, the lifetime of the product will be defined reasonably. The lifetime of a car will never be 3 months nor 3 years.

For the average cheap-ish product, the lifetime is defined as "at least 2 years" in the EU, at least for consumers.

If someone announces EOL too soon and the product is popular enough, someone will complain formally. This combination however rarely happens.

I think the home-printing industry is on its last legs. More and more documents don't need to be printed. I haven't owned a printer in years and when I must print something I hop in the nearest (laser-)print shop for peanuts. HP is just trying to make the last few bucks before closing down their print shop.

It still exists for me. There’s no comparable search engine at the moment, it’s still the best at what it does and the format hasn’t changed (except for ads, as I mentioned)

It’s still the same old list of links that has been enhanced to highlight the first result or the most recent news. Over 20 years that’s merely evolution.

Dropbox turned from invisible into its own app separate from the OS. Don’t you see how, comparatively, Google Search hasn’t changed?
