Handwriting a 30 page assessment questionaire, fumbling a camera take relevant photos, and then manually correlating the photos to the assessment questions as it's written up properly... Is somehow better than a PWA?I
PWAs aren't a golden hammer, but they're not as useless as your opinions.
This looks much more reasonable than fpdf's bare bones nature, or wkhtmltopdf / snappy / puppeteer needing esoteric, old CSS specs and having a lot of quirks because of it.
Particularly happy at how it can swap page size as needed.
They're attributing a cult like / social influence phenomenon to the popularity of it. That others use it because others use it; not on any perceived by them actual merit of tailwinds design.
Personally, as a customer (UK), it's been pretty damn good. Especially scan as you shop.
They're not perfect, everyone's experienced "unexpected item in the bagging area", or had a quick trip halted by having to wave down a staff member for a full cart scan.
Part of the problem mentioned at the top of the article is the store's cut too many staff from checkout; having only one on hand to manage the "fleet" of 12-20 tills does not work well. You need 3-4, so you've got some leeway if a few customers need a verification (full scan, or restricted goods) or a till needs some troubleshooting at the same time.
But when it works; the queue moves quicker, stuff isn't being thrown along the till haphazardly.
But, you are absolutely right, good sir. This is the internet.
And The Internet is Serious Business
And it feels like that was the nexus point between it feeling like progress, and feeling like learning by rote. Even after getting past where i was pre-reset, it still was slow, rote memorization.
I got to 150 days, and the news about layoffs and AI was enough to have me reevaluate it and realise it has just become a pattern matching dopamine box.
Embedding interactive content into a cms is I guess another surface but that's more semantic sugar and style encapsulation.
Hate to break it to you but SAML is same shit different coat of paint, the xml encryption/signature/encoding stuff it pulls makes it just as much a tarpit for bugs and misconfiguration.
SCIM seems pretty decent though to explicitly state who is and isn't on the Guestlist.
I might be misremembering the technical details, but isn't that only the case in a git repo with zero pack files?
Will grant that the lack of metadata on renames can be issue when a file is heavily refactored alongside it's relocation.

Looks arround the $170-200k level....
Not that I'm entirely jazzed with flatpak.. Poor construction of the permissions can lead to shitty experience that doesn't happen with a deb.
What is being destroyed by YouTube's current policy that led to this anti adblock attempt, is pushing too far with the ads.
Crap quality and overstuffed.
A 5 second ad on a 4 minute video? Fine.
1:30 ad, one of TWO... on same video?
Fuck. That. Noise.
It's the same segmentation issue as piracy, y'all get hyperfocused on the group that will NEVER play ball, and ruin the experience so much for those that would, that they "swap teams".
Flatpak... I'll warily try it for "user facing" apps.
But after a clusterfuck of trying to get a flatpak Jellyfin to work (HW accel fell over, and it wanted me to dumpster dive into flatseal to unsandbox it so that media OUTSIDE OF HOME could be accessed... never got around to looking at getting it to even boot at startup) I'll shy the hell away from it for daemons.
Last night, 1 minute of preroll ads in front of a 4 minute video..
In fact when I went back just to check the video length, I switched off ad block:
It wanted to play 2 ads, first one being 1:37 ...
I think I'll go back to the to blanket adblock and see if I can spread a little of the loose change I have among those channels I truely get some worth out of.
Is trying to weasel word via lawyer not just more fuel to the fire of an anti-trust lawsuit?
Surely you need the sorted set in memory to derive rank/manipulate it etc?
Or would you have to shard it and add other elements on top in app code to focus on only a subsection of the data?
The link is to a plain text file.
The indentation is formatting to give a clear delineation between various sections, such as each feature/fix/item of the changelog. Which makes it easier to read rather a run along blob of text with no clear markers.
You see this same indentation with un/ordered lists in HTML or word documents.
All the bits and such to generate those passkeys originate on one device... And it's specifically designed for it's security, to not allow the key material be removable from that one device...
A device that may end up in the bottom of a canal in Venice...
It's then a case of how do you bootstrap back up to having access?
- Did you remember to spend money on an additional passkey device? - Did you ensure you don't need the passkey device you lost to access the other device which the passkey syncs with (for the iOS keychain/google whatever options) - Did you remember at each. and. every. account. you. have. to enroll both your primary and secondary passkeys?
vs.
- You can remember enough to get into email for resets, or there's a note or a thumb drive kept in a drawer that has enough password info (itself possibly password protected) to get you back on your digital feet.
I understand the need for not being able to export from a passkey device... but it massively shifts the paradigm of how users need to operate. And puts all the trust in devices.
Your points are valid ones about data privacy, and redundancy of important data. And how Joe public doesn't seem to notice those.
The original infamous comment dismissed a tool that made a task easier for regular users because the server nerd says: "I can build it in my shed out of rsync and bash using a server I maintain, why should I use this?".
Never ran into it on my Linux box so I thought it was just Windows weirdness.
I pirated GoT as a broke uni student as it was only available on satellite packages and not even the previous seasons.
When NowTV offered same day, he'll even same time access as the Americans (to avoid alliteration them seeing it "early" and tweeting) for a few quid a month?
Jumped at it. Easier to just pay and use the app than faff about on TPB and waiting for downloads...
This is the demographic to watch, the ones who switched away from piracy for convenience that was worth a fee, and if priced out to feed shareholders will shrug and go back to the old ways.
