10,000 employees for what? I never thought of Block to be that big. If Elon came in, he would probably fire 80% meaning 8000. Like he did with Twitter/X and Twitter ran fine this whole time.

It's nice that the laid off employees are treated better than many other places. Everywhere I worked, laid off employees were instantly cut off from all access. I would say my goodbyes to them later through LinkedIn.

The developer is supposed to check and verify the code that an LLM creates. Ask for smaller requests in the prompts so you don't get too much code. Unit tests are verified and run by the developer. I don't know what he means by an LLM runs all the tests and gives green. It can fake running tests. I always the tests myself, whether they were created by an LLM or not.

How does one choose the two fonts to compare?? I just get random fonts with the restart game option.

Microsoft is huge and produces a ton of software. The bigger the surface area and the bigger is their popularity and number of consumers, the more the breaches. It's not like there's a breach every day. They're being good a patching their software and we have Patch Tuesdays where often they often patch zero day holes.

He says what he does but never mentions how he gets clients which is the most important piece of information.

Just check No! What are they going to do? Check if you really do not have any kind of affiliation with WPEngine?

Do you need to have hundreds and thousands of pdfs on a reading device? How fast can you read?

Easier on the eyes. No light emitting hitting your eyes. Can read outside in sunlight.

Read about the advantages of e-ink.

I only see covers and screen protectors on Amazon. Is this a discontinued tablet?

Buy from Amazon. Returns are a breeze.

What are the evidence that it's fading away? The questions and the answers here do not mention why people think it's fading away.

I still get answers when I post a question. Do you mean the number of questions in general? Who cares? All I care about are my questions getting answers.

I don't know why this is always in the news. %4.45 is still very small. Linux came out 34 years ago. That's an ion in computer years. Linux desktop is in too many flavors. MacOS is one MacOS. whatever the latest. Windows 11 is Windows 11. Not many flavors of it.

I feel like Linux people are cheering for a tiny number. They'll take whatever desktop market share they can. 10 years from now maybe it will be 6%. Well... big f*king hurray! Open the champagne bottles!

This is all silly.

I would like to see such motors and how they are hidden. If it's not a mid drive motor or on the whee's hub, where can it be?

Next time put a link to download an mp3. I can listen while driving or exercising. I don't have time to watch the video or read along transcript.

American airline companies should just buy Airbus planes until Boeing gets its act together.

The subs I frequent are alive and strong. There are no alternatives to them on the web. If some subs have died down, they are not ones I care about.

I used to sell copies of pirated games on tapes and 5.25" floppies for the C64 in the 80's in a third world country. Made some good money as a teenager. I predate most people here. It was very hard to get these games in the country. Used snail mail which took weeks. I remember Hotline, Fairlight and many other cracking groups. Trainers at the beginning of the games were cool. Also remember the Freezeframe and Expert cartridges that freeze a games and enable you to save it.

37Signals has been having challenges hosting SaaS and hiring? How So?

I don't use their products. They shifted to hosting from the cloud to on-prem. It seems to be they what they're doing.

Their salaries are in the top 10% of the market for non FAANG companies.

I think some users want all the features and everything for free.

Evernote works well for me. It fully syncs all my notes between 2 devices. Those are my home and work computers. That's good enough for me.

If I want to look at a note on a mobile device, I use a browser in desktop mode. However I only had to do this a handful of times in all the years they went down to 2 device syncing.

I just have to deal sometimes with an offer to upgrade. So I close the popup. No big deal.

Google Reader was an RSS reader. There are many other RSS readers. I don't get the big fuss about it. I never used it.

No. Voice recognition is useless for me. Why talk to a computer when it makes mistakes getting correctly everything I say. Imagine an office were everyone is talking to their computer. It's noisy and silly.

With ChatGPT where it finds answers where a normal Google search is not very helpful, I find ChatGPT very helpful. I pasted some code I didn't understand to it and it explained to me what it does. That was very cool. Google would not have been able to help me.

I don't fully agree with the slider the author is sugegsting.

If my price range is 21 - 45, I don't want to fiddle with a double tick slider dragging it pixelwise to get to the exact numbers I want. Not everyone has perfect hand and mouse dexterity to move it a couple of pixels. Not some senior citizens. It's easier and faster for me to enter two numbers or just one number for the max. I don't need to enter a min number. Plus Amazon is already showing some popular ranges. I think

People keep saying it's missing this feature and missing that. People use note taking apps in many different ways. If an app has all the features, it wouldn't be a free open source one by a single developer. I would make it a commercial one and compete with apps like EverNote. Even EverNote has issues.

This guy is a 'security' expert and doesn't have MFA set up with his bank!? No one can log in into you account unless a code is entered.

I have a wide screen. His left side smaller width articles are freaking annoying!! Inconvenient to read.

The other filters don't work. I can select stars or sort by stars.

While Rider might be a nice IDE, it can't use Visual Studio extensions. I use some commercial ones which increase my productivity. I can't see myself not using Visual Studio. I use the Enterprise version of VS. There's no other IDE with all the features I have.

The R1 (first gen) propellers were protected by a plastic shield around them. Here they are exposed. What happens if the drone hits a tree or some branches? Won't the propellers easily break?

Stackoverflow is an awesome place to get help for programming questions. Except for the morons who roam in it downvoting all kinds of questions and they never leave a comment to as why they are downvoting. Even when requested to.

Just recently I posted a question in meta for why one of my questions was being downvoted. That question in meta got a flurry of downvotes! Stupid moronic downvoters. It is a hostile place but I will use it as long as I get answers.
