Sure, there were electric cars. But if I remember correctly, Tesla was the first to deliver the whole next-gen package with an every day, everywhere car, plus charging stations plus the whole automation. If you wanted that, there was no way around Tesla for quite a while.
Teslas were the “best”, as in the only option for what they did. They were never the “best”, as in better than existing products for what they did.
Being first to market for such a long time was an incredible feat and it speaks volumes that their position isn’t much, much stronger at the end of it.
1Password can’t fail that hard easily. They’ve done great write-ups to compare their architecture to that of LastPass. Long story short: it’s the secret key that protects you: https://blog.1password.com/what-the-secret-key-does/
When I installed Kinoite to start using Linux as my primary daily driver, the first thing I did was setting up Ansible, creating a new playbook and all Linux configurations I made from that point on, are only ever done through that playbook, which is backed up in my Forgejo instance. One command and everything is being set up exactly the way I want. It feels extremely liberating.
What I’m missing from the article that claims that the “precise” burial place of Plato was now revealed: is it, though? Is the location of the shrine of the Muses known?
To me it feels like it doesn’t do much better than the Google keyboard. But it does follow my custom dictionary while swiping, which Google never did. After all these years it still suggested a word I never use instead of a name I type often. Heliboard just casualty does the correct thing after adding the name to the dictionary. That plus showing the detected word directly above the finger so I can keep my eyes on one spot instead of constantly checking the text for bullshit words are killer features to me.
This would be my gut reaction as well. I’ve met some game developers privately and got to know them better and after that a career in game development was out of the question for me. It’s not even the fault of the game studios, many of which are being lead by idealistic game devs themselves. It’s the publishers who only offer contracts that are so tightly knit, that many game studios go bankrupt after release if they can’t get another contract quick enough. The whole industry is rotten and no amount of management will save that on the lowest level of the food chain. It felt too me that only idealistic devs with a high frustration tolerance go into game development and that is being exploited to the extreme.
When the low rolling character convinces the high rolling one, that they are seeing things, the real fun begins.
The original author of git flow begs to differ. But hindsight is always 20/20 https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
If you use feature flags, don’t forget to remove them after some grace period. Almost everything bad about feature flags that you can read online is related to long-lived feature flags and all the dead code and complexity involved. Adding a feature flags without a commitment and plan to remove them (the flag, not the feature), is asking for trouble down the line.
You can implement public or semi public ledgers without Blockchain. That’s what banks are doing already by sending huge CSV files internally and externally. Blockchain is not a technology of zero trust. It’s close to the opposite. You trust a few peers and blindly trust everyone they trust. That way you trust a network that you know nothing about and if the network decides on a common truth that you are convinced is incorrect, there is nothing you can do about it. The consensus always wins and there is no single entity to complain to and get it fixed. This is great for making sure that many actors need to be bad actors in order to have the whole system fail. It’s bad if you don’t trust anyone and want to make sure that your standards are always observed. From a technology standpoint I love the concept of Blockchain. But use cases that are not forced are few and far apart. Too few for the amount of hype it receives.
It depends. Some hardware degrades gracefully while my current desktop system won’t even boot and throws error codes on an empty battery. It took me hours to figure out what was wrong the first time it happened.
Please always add the person who is quoted. These are Trump’s words, while we are discussing what many Republicans are publicly claiming. Of course Trump wants to go way further.
Stimme ich voll zu. Ich hatte nie realisiert wie schlimm die Situation ist, bis ich mit Kinderwagen unterwegs war.
This argument is extremely disingenuous. The Republicans claim that a president has immunity unless investigated and impeached by Congress. And this is exactly what they are fruitlessly flailing around, trying to do. So this is not the gotcha the meme claims it is.
Mein Sozialkundelehrer war Stadtrat und hat immer Mal aus dem Nähkästchen geplaudert. Er sagte uns, dass Knöllchen fast ein Nullsummenspiel sind (Einnahmen vs Gehälter der Mitarbeitenden, Verwaltungsaufwand, etc.). Dennoch hatte der Stadtrat für mehr Kontrollen gestimmt, jedoch offensichtlich nicht aus den Gründen, die die Bürger ihnen vorwarfen.
Coffee seems to be a self enforcing meme at this point. It’s not unhealthy enough to have suffered the same fate as cigarettes. Which had pretty much the same jokes not too long ago.
It’s the same argument. Getting a reasonable amount of charging is possible in 15 minutes. But not everyone has immediate access to fast charging stations. If everyone could always make a deliberate decision whether to go easy on the battery and save money or having to be places, EVs may look much more appealing to a lot of people.

Modern browsers happily show you the actual characters, while sending their encoded entities to the server. So, from a user perspective there is no ASCII limitation. Case in point: söhne.at (just some random website, I have no idea what they are or if they are legitimate)
