Re:Leaving DigitalOcean, one site at a time on Saturday September 19, 2026 @12:49PM (#49768085)
Considering the multiple rounds of layoffs they have gone through, can't imagine how former employees must feel seeing how they decide to commit for $3M, which in imho has a more than questionable ROI.

I definitely wanted to skip Tahoe by any means and was reluctant about this new version. I recently installed it because the wm I was using (omniwm) wasn't compatible with Tahoe anymore so I had to choose. I have to say it has been completely usable to me after reducing the liquid glass thing as much as the system allows.

At least in the UK, that's exactly what they're doing right now. They're allowing pre-orders, with shipping on Sept 22.

Does omakase also mean platforming/praising convicted criminals such as Tommy Robinson?

I remember prior de AI era, it was a common pattern to for some delay in the answers to make it feel more "human"

mind elaborate?
Re:Nintendo has raised its employees base salary by 10% on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @10:54AM (#48747862)
I recently watched a video game journalist speaking about this(chicocartera from Eurogamer): apparently this raise happened in 2023. There was an official transcription from an investors meeting at that time where this was covered. It seems there are some subtleties in the translation which could lead to think it happened recently.
Re:Qualcomm to Acquire Modular on Thursday June 25, 2026 @02:48AM (#48669859)
According to their website, yes it will be opensourced soon
Obviously don't know what percentage represents "legit" use cases vs other more morally questionable, but in our case we have a cms where content team can include external links and we need to verify periodically whether those links work or not, which is not as easy as making get requests with a client.
I am right handed but left handed for some very specific things such as playing pool or hockey

It depends on who you ask
Re:UK sovereign LLM inference on Friday May 15, 2026 @06:20AM (#48146813)
what's preventing you from going to their website? op has linked directly to the documentation, so that info is not necessary expected to be there
Did he eventually get the job he was initially applying?
does that mean this data center was way overprovisionedo or that grok is barely used and they could potentially kill it and just use claude?
That's pretty interesting. I was thinking about starting a new pet project and was considering doing it in Rust to learn as I never tried anything with it and after some small pocs I had the feeling it was too verbose to my taste, but wasn't sure it was just me and/or my lack of experience with Rust. Still, wonder if it's still worth it to give a shot considering other positive elements of the language.
this. I really enjoyed the Niri approach when I discovered it and missed something similar for my mac. This is the best implementation I have tested so far, and while there are definitely some quirks, at least in my case I feel it completely usable as a daily driver(love the tabbed columns) kudos to maintainer and contributors
Re:John Ternus to become Apple CEO on Monday April 20, 2026 @06:56PM (#47842152)
not only Safari, several other apps such as Music (which also has several annoying quirks) never understood why they did not get their own lifecycle if they have dedicated teams for each of those apps
And what about the companies that thought that advertising (sorry, suggesting) their product through this channel was a good idea?
agree. I guess it's a force of habit, but I am so used to the cmd+<whatever> (specially copy & paste) shortcuts, that I configured them into my linux desktop to behave the same way
Re: on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @03:23PM (#47327707)
sorry, still don't get no tests as an excuse to go faster. obviously ymmv, but you will need to test your implementation somehow, and manual testing usually takes more time than running your automated tests. no need to over test, but definitely tests doesn't mean it will slow you down, unless you don't know how to test, which in that case, that's totally up to you.
Re:macOS Tahoe windows have different corner radiuses on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:44AM (#47321031)
I am in the same boat. I would like to buy a new m5, but being forced to keep Tahoe is preventing me to get it until they fix this clusterfuck
they already have...

Using something like duckdb could help in scenarios like this one?

also, from not that long time ago, you can change the focus of panes and you can tell it to respect the zoom state if you want, which is super convenient

Re:Hetzner Prices increase 30-40% on Monday February 23, 2026 @05:32AM (#47120463)
Why are they increasing the prices on already existing infrastructure? Is that a way to "subsidize" the new purchases?
Re:The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec) on Friday February 20, 2026 @06:35AM (#47086712)

Re:Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @02:08PM (#47064946)
Acquisition cost can definitely be calculated. I'm pretty sure they know how many customers do convert into paying users from their free tier and how much does it cost to get them through other channels
Re:Modern CSS Code Snippets: Stop writing CSS like it's 2015 on Monday February 16, 2026 @04:40AM (#47032954)
yeah, Tailwind feels to me like a "write-only" solution.
Fearing the consequences doesn't make you a complicit but a victim. Sure there will be people who will take a more brave/difficult stance, but can't blame others for not doing so, we don't know they'd put at stake.
