Re:A browser-based viewer for Office Open XML documents on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @12:52PM (#49524575)
Do you have evidence of malfeasance, or are you assuming that because one user said he thought it was vibe-coded without further elaboration?

Things take time. Especially during the pandemic and its aftermath. How you been down to Arizona lately to see the developments? Not just the manufacturing itself but everything that has sprung up around it? It’s impressive.

Re:LLMs, but Only Because Your Tech Sucks on Monday March 24, 2025 @01:02PM (#43463125)
I think this is just wishful thinking. The world is much more complicated and chaotic, so things like “just write better docs” don’t hold up. Especially in the unpaid roles that open source software relies on.

LLMs may be the only chance many people have at writing good docs, or creating those macros to parse one-offs.

Happened to me a couple of days ago. I installed Ublock Lite and it seems “good enough”.

Not yet.
Doubtful. Sean Connery has been dead for several years now.

I am always amazed when I see (justified) criticism of Fox News without mentioning CNN and MSNBC as equally culpable for a decline in American society. To not see this has to be the result of political partisanship or willful ignorance.

You sound like someone without multiple monitors of differing DPI, which I found to be suboptimal on Gnome versus macOS.
This is not helpful. I asked the OP to back up his drive-by claims. I wasn’t asking for more of them.
Please explain. He’s one of the last journalists that I still trust these days. Care to elaborate on your claims?

Which regulations does Amazon violate in their warehouses?
You have every right not to shop there. Employees also have every right not to work there. As you will see stated here time and time again, private businesses can run their operations any way they wish as long as they are not discriminating against legally protected classes.

Re:Double Entry Accounting for Developers on Tuesday July 28, 2020 @11:45AM (#23976958)
Apples and oranges. By way of analogy, the OP was talking about C while you are describing building a commercial Windows app. DE accounting is a simple tool that can be used in complex ways.
If your statistics are correct, that lends credence to the old saw, "An armed society is a polite society." But that's likely predicated on everything thinking that everyone else is armed (which in high gun control areas would not be the case). Sort of like nuclear weapons' "mutually assured destruction."

Cynical view: Sony cancels publicity event because it knows it would get no (or limited) publicity.

Semiautomatic means it reloads automatically. A bolt action, manual-reload rifle would be useless against a mob, which was the stated threat profile.
Microsoft made an official statement almost a year ago that it was OK to use exFAT, and they published the specs as well.

I won't argue how groundbreaking their technology is of late, but in all fairness they have been much more open with their code.
