i used to read a lot but buying paper books was a real pain for me, i read hundreds of books on the kindle but figured out i could just slap a video on my phone and actually sleep.

since then i've read maybe 15 books in the last couple years and my kids never see me reading, however we've read to them and had them read to us for their whole life and they now both read independently for fun. i don't think leading by example is anywhere near as important as reading with your kids

yeah it was definitely a case of not wanting to spend a comparatively small amount of money on dev time to even look into it

it was obviously not network based as connection speed didn't seem to change the time required

subscriptions are most of their income, they don't pay the bills at all

no one is appeasing anyone, the only suggested changes are stopping new gas stove installs in new homes in some states. even then i would imagine it would be trivial to just wait till after the house is built and put one in

induction stovetops are faster and easier to clean anyway, my stovetop is playing up so i'm swapping from gas since it's just better tech anyway

my issue with them is i don't need my house lit up like a christmas tree at 2am in the morning when everything is "off", i've never found having a flashing light a great way of troubleshooting when there's a lot better tools to measure disk or network usage anyway.

you can't really, generally things tend towards getting more locked down unless they fail commercially

It's really silly how much better Fast tiny 3rd party programs like everything search so much faster than windows search

it doesn't really work either unless you're going to die in a couple months

It was incredibly well received by web devs

The ingredients probably are, the quantities possibly not

it does more than that, it keeps a copy of every dll you've ever installed not just the ones in use. there's a reason it just gets bigger forever even if you don't install more programs

at the bottom of the article they mentioned they hired 30k people to bring them up to nearly 190k last year, even if they perfectly fit in that's a lot of onboarding

evolution produces end results that are worthwhile fully understanding at the very least, i imagine hovering around on updrafts is pretty energy efficient off the top of my head too

at absolute minimum i would say when you have to do an admin task twice through messing with the database or something is when you should probably add an interface for it, guessing what tasks the user (or reality) will screw up is hit and miss at best.

some of these tasks when caused by human error the better idea is to make it more difficult to break the system than just easier to fix it and allowing the user or admin to fix it on their own hides the issues away

> there is nothing in space for a reason!!

literally everything is in space

Wouldn't high memory usage suggest it will need to bring more from dusk into memory not less

the fact that anyone who is that terrible would logically not want you to know that they're terrible doesn't really change the terribleness just points out that they're aware of how terrible they are.

I use my phone it doesn't even show the number, but you can cover the number in case of random servers who can remember 16 digits effortlessly in 2 second

No security is perfect but that's no reason to skip basic easy precautions

some of the stuff google don't put effort into is super weird, like the whole if the device is in a different "room" it has to loudly announce what it's doing but if it's in the same room it turns down the volume on all of the devices for 10 seconds

really makes me think they almost want to discontinue it but it's so integrated with android and the chromecast they can't really kill it

tin works pretty well and it's a pretty hot thing to make a roof out of, having an air gap between your car and the heat source makes a massive difference rather than it being heated directly

the way people are learning to interact with stable diffusion is incredibly interesting to me, almost learning a new language via prompts to get it to produce desired results. i feel like that may be the key to the next step in ai, realising that human directed ai fills huge gaps in talent at both ends

> Microsoft did anti-competitive shenanigans back in the day too and yet Mozilla managed to still get a significant marketshare despite that

pretty easy to do when the incumbent barely worked on their browser for 5 years because they had a monopoly. i would assume no one would be as dumb as balmer to choke out their own monopoly position to save a few bucks

just because the boat will still be leaky doesn't mean you shouldn't try and plug the holes

start with the biggest one and work your way down

innovating is hard and haphazard, paying to defend your position is expensive but easy and incredibly predictable

i'd be very surprised if any large company with a commanding market share isn't spending a significant chunk of change on lobbying and other ways of locking newcomers out of their market

Yeah no one really cares that it's not super effective in Australia though.

the courts order blocks, the ISPs block it at dns because it's cheap and easy and pirates are either scared off by the warning message or just use Google dns

It's good enough and mostly non disruptive

In the past the court hasn't specified how to block sites so they're usually blocked at dns level, just point the DNS record at one of the isp's ip addresses with a block message

If they really are having to block actual ips I would be surprised

i mean feel free to attack the example while letting the idea escape, anyone with 5 minutes could come up with a hundred professions where circumstance is the only prerequisite.

the idea that we have perfect free will already is silly, so much of who we are and what we are allowed to do is environmental or due to circumstance. who cares if some magic dude makes people not want to murder kids when circumstance already makes a bunch of simple things like choosing to be an artist as a career impossible?

Endeavour os lets you install barbones arch if you untick enough checkboxes in the installer, I tried manjaro but they put on too much extra stuff

Multiple companies have been caught using information for ads that they said they wouldn't, and Twitter have already proven that they're not trust worthy
