I read this as meaning you won't be logged into the instance the agent interacts with

It would be good if Samsung browser were listed. It has about 10% market share of chromium browsers and is on version 136. It sticks to one version for months at a time and then jumps several versions. Going by historical data it's due for another jump soon.

Wikipedia - I remember when Encarta was how you used an encyclopaedia on your computer.

> I've never bought an app

Without being signed into an AppleID you cannot install free apps either. And if you install then sign out, you're also blocked from updating the free apps.

I like this approach of building a template in Figma and CSS, and having customizations map across them. I like that you've stuck with fairly established components where the behavior is very established. It means you're less likely to alienate people who want different conventions.

> I’d love to hear your thoughts from your experience working with designers & component libraries.

I tried a different approach. I built a tool to export Figma designs to HTML and inline CSS.

It uses the REST API rather than the plugin API, so you don't need as many permissions to use it.

I put in some work to collapse `div`s together, so the HTML isn't div soup.

It scales from exporting a single button to a whole screen, but isn't smart enough to identify reusable components.

I had hoped it would give developers an initial output to aim for when porting designs to React. Ultimately though, it didn't get much traction with my colleagues and I've stopped working on it.

Is it a marketing trick to make people think they're that much faster than current Intel computers?

I prefer Linux (fedora with gnome) because it needs less tinkering out the box.

It's the basic things like not having to install third party utilities to have window centric window management (as opposed to app centric window management). Or being able to plug my Android phone in and be able to browse the files without additional utilities.

I still have Windows for multiplayer games (everything else is done on Linux). When I built this desktop, I had to buy a Windows 11 license. It wasn't free. My laptop's old license did not transfer.

OEMs have to pay Microsoft for Windows licenses on prebuilt Windows computers.

>>Why do they allow the Crap And Turds department to piss all over their work?

>Because Windows is a free-in-practice product and it needs/wants a revenue stream.

Windows is not free. It's because 2 revenue streams are better than one revenue stream. If your goal is to make money, why wouldn't you? (To answer my own question, it's short term thinking that will eventually drive people away from your product).

I got my current job through GitHub.

At least that's how the 3rd party recruiter told me he found me. It's possible he was lying and thought it would impress me (it did).

My profile is more active than most, but very far from rockstar.

The normal forms are about how data is stored, rather than how it looks after a query. After all, most joins will violate second normal form.

But yes, SQL doesn't work well with this solution.

There are other ways, like having a null with more regular semantics and better comparability (like Rust's option type).

Or imagine this data:

Students:

Name: Bob

Name: Alice

StudentsClasses

Student: Bob, class: cryptography.

Student: Bob, class: databases

If you can have arrays (or relations) as a field in your result set, then

Students left outer join StudentsClasses

Could return

Student: Bob, classes: [ cryptography, databases]

Student: Alice, classes: []

Checking to see if investigations include evidence from messages on these platforms excepting:

Or investigators getting control of the phone.

WhatsApp stands up to that test.

I think it depends on if you define a functional language as one that functional programs can be written in, or a language that can only write functional programs.

I often see JavaScript described as a functional language, so I think modern parlance leans towards the former.

Which operating system(s) or window managers are you thinking of?

I don't believe Gnome provides this option.

Different people must prefer different flows.

I usually follow people based on them mentioning their handle on podcasts, or linking to their feed from their profile on another website.

The Steam ecosystem has devices in both categories.

It's the only ecosystem in the list where you can buy a game and have your progress synced between a performance device and a portable device.

It's worth noting browser updates aren't tied to manufacturer's updates.

The majority of Android devices will have updated Chrome and web view soon after the Chrome team released a fix.

I'd be interested to hear how you'd get the usability to be as good as an operating system designed to be used with a remote running apps designed to be run with a remote.

Having to use a mouse and keyboard is a pain point for me when I use my desktop on my TV from the couch. For the mouse I use the trackpad on a ps5 controller, so the mouse isn't so bad.

Possibly you could: * Not require passwords for everyday operation of your computer * Boot into some sort of launcher designed for televisions * Have a fairly narrow set of apps and services that work well with your setup. For example I don't know how you'd use Netflix or Disney plus with a remote on Linux.

Or run apps like Teams in a web browser. Web browsers have good isolation techniques like Chrome's profiles and Firefox's containers.

Teams is written using web technologies so you're getting the same experience as the app.

Do you think a publicity campaign would work? Adverts on the TV, radio, YouTube and the web to teach car drivers and pedestrians about the new rules

This highway code change hasn't done much in practice. Not many car drivers give way to pedestrians on junctions.

But hopefully habits will change.

Yes, check out the second entry in the FAQ

Their work goes beyond the kernel. For example Mesa (the user space part of the Linux GPU stack), boot tooling and installation tooling.

And of course the incredible amount of reverse engineering.

Because even though it has less users than Google, it is profitable

I imagine it would be important to be about to store your stylus in the phone when not in use.

It's worth caring about, but only as one data point amongst many.

For example I might consider: 1. Does it run Android? 2. Physically size- does it come in not obnoxiously large? 3. Does it support NFC payments? (surprisingly this still isn't a given) 4. Adequate performance 5. Camera quality 6. Screen quality 7. Battery life 8. Price 9. Community ROM support 10. Community Linux distro support 11. Can it run a desktop when connected to a usb-c screen 12. Geekbench

Only if everything else is equal would it make my decision

I think it was at least better than that. I don't remember having permission issues with uploaded files.

It's been a while, so I can't remember exactly where it put them. But the directory structure had the room name in it. As a user I didn't get a choice where they went.

> -Sharing a file in the chat for a meeting puts it into some incomprehensible internal sharepoint structure that is tied to that specific meeting instance and is difficult to ever find again.

And prevents you reusing file names. If you uploaded "image.png" or "notes.txt" to a "Team" (room) once, it will make it awkward if someone tries to upload another file with the same name in the future.

Did video work in Firefox? They must have fixed that. I remember having to launch it in Chrome to join meetings.

Maybe it wasn't specifically Teams, but screen sharing used to be a massive performance hit (MBP around the year 2019). I remember giving a demo, and a response from a keycloak container I was running locally timed out.

It made it very awkward to copy and paste multiple messages in a chat.

What about outlook? I never got on with it, but it's often considered the gold standard for calendar and task manager.

> I can guarantee you that Google makes sure Gmail loads at least as fast in Chrome as in Firefox.

Why? I can imagine them working hard to make sure that Gmail loads fast in Chrome. The Gmail team probably suggests changes to the Chrome team and vice versa.

So long as Gmail is fast in Chrome, I can't imagine Google would be all that upset about Firefox or any other browser loading it faster. At most it would be an indicator that they need to make changes to stay competitive.
