Grammar nitpick: "anyways" should almost awlays be "anyway"
Isn’t there an implicit check to exit the loop?

It’s because transactional email and marketing email are two different systems.
Re:Veracrypt Project Update on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @07:36PM (#47697562)
what do you mean? mac doesn't require the use of the store at all, or even an apple id to use your computer
Re:Veracrypt Project Update on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @07:34PM (#47697549)

by only recently do you mean 15 years ago with Lion?
Re:Sony V. Cox Decision Reversed on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @12:35PM (#47519688)
That's my understanding. Basic carrier vs service stuff. What I wonder is how this might impact gun manufacturers.
Sounds interesting. Do you sponsor or otherwise support the open source projects you build on as mentioned in the your description?
correlation does not equal causation
On these MacBooks the VRR modules were particularly prone to overheating and throttling because of the GPU regardless of the CPU model.

If the US had universal healthcare I bet there would be a lot more .NET startups as corp devs would have the freedom to pursue their dreams.
Re:.NET 10 on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @02:38PM (#45905195)
EF or EFCore? Specifically EFCore is highly regarded whereas legacy EF not so much.

Isn't it just a single file installation?
Re:.NET 10 on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @02:33PM (#45905107)
It's no longer so hyper optimized and performs very well today in the metric compared to any other comparable framework.
do you have a link or anything that supports this claim? As I recall it was an error in the reporting utility not the drives themselves.
Re:What happened to Apple's legendary attention to detail? on Thursday October 23, 2025 @03:35PM (#45685957)
On the laptop it doesn't cut into the normal screen ratio. So it's basically free pixels minus the notch.

What are the quirks with local dev that make it not fun?
Re:Regarding the Compact on Friday October 10, 2025 @03:45PM (#45542980)
To you and me they are not, but to this administration I wouldn't be surprised if they were considered as such.

Can you elaborate on Docker Swarm? I thought it lost out to Kubernetes and was effectively dead.
Re:Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @11:52PM (#45434095)
Interesting, most people have the opposite experience. 4 year old M1 here still amazing perf and OS support.
Re:Safe zero-copy operations in C# on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @12:00PM (#45427192)
Memory<T> is the heap compatible version of Span<T> in C# for anyone curious.
In my experience Apple devices are the only ones that get sleep right.
The quicker it completes the op the quicker the cpu goes back to low power state. Battery life.
He didn’t say 8 gigs is great but that you can get by with about 8 gigs less than equivalent on Windows.
Re:AOL to discontinue dial-up internet on Monday August 11, 2025 @11:00AM (#44864917)
lol no.

They had a fat desktop client and often Windows networking drivers because even the OS wasn't network ready for consumers yet.

Sounds more like urban vs rural with respect to crime rates than guns or not.
Re:We Are No Longer a Serious Country – Paul Krugman on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @02:01PM (#44183641)
I think red voters in this category aren't dumb but prefer a convenient lie than a complex truth when it comes to what the problems are in this country and how to fix them.

I guess you could say the same about Dem voters and Biden's health but to be honest I think most Dem voters were probably just voting AGAINST Trump. Plenty of people on the Dem side want the old guard/status quo to retire for new blood.

Re:We Are No Longer a Serious Country – Paul Krugman on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @01:58PM (#44183609)
The US maintaining order (and providing foreign aid) is a form of soft power which this administration doesn't seem to value (or maybe even understand). It also benefits US corporations and their interests' abroad.
well I mean you'd use await foreach and IAsyncEnumerable equivalent... async would mean the UI would not be blocked so I agree with the original commenter you replied to.
