Reminds me of xkcd's Frankenstein: https://xkcd.com/1589/

That's not what _orthodox_ means to most people. It usually means something like "conforming to established doctrine" (especially in a religious context). The definition you posted woul…

I'm sorry, I wrote embedded logins but was thinking embedded webviews in general. The only legitimate use of that in my mind is "a web browser app that's a usability skin over Chrome&qu…

If that's the problem you're trying to solve, disallow embedded ~~logins~~ webviews and do it through a proper browser, same as on a regular computer. The other way seems overkill and smells…

They have been tamed in the past. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but Google Native Client was completely discontinued and wasm was adopted eventually. I see that as a victory for the open internet.

He wrote a really engaging Harry Potter fanfiction.

Do they get paid from premium views if their videos were demonetized?

Google created the youtube "moat" by giving away the service for free for 15 years. In that time, an actually good, sustainable, paid video service could have emerged and everybody would be …

All of my keyboards have only an up arrow, not the "shift" word. They aren't english keyboards though.

I used to feel just like that. Then I learned that academic philosophy studies this phenomenon as "metaethics". There are arguments such as yours that would be considered "moral skeptic…

The law states that it's unavoidable for the implementation details to show in some cases, since you can't abstract away everything without being as complicated as the thing you're ab…

As other people mentioned, the money of owning a gas station comes mostly from the convenience store attached to it. This isn't going away, quite the opposite. "Fast" charging is quite …

What they never shipped is understandable docs and tools for devs to create .msi installers, which caused the deluge of custom installers such as the one being discussed.

It sounds great but there are simple use cases where the "portable" app isn't enough. For example, if you want multiple users to be able to use the program and have their own settings, …

That is an issue with all ground-effect cars, not specific to fan cars, which is why they were banned, but that happened much later. The fan car was banned because it gave Brabham an unfair advantage …

The writers strike has little to do with "AI" and a lot to do with getting paid for shows on streaming services. Tech media has ran wild with the AI angle because it's attention-grabbin…

A similar thing was done in F1 in 1978: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham_BT46 It was swiftly banned of course, since it worked too well.…

On the land value tax, you have to pay more tax specifically because its value increases. If you want to cash out, then sell the property for it's now much higher value. The value didn't inc…

Having access to food is most definitely a matter of national security. If you get your ports cut off you can't increase local food production before mass starvation.

My first thought as well. I have worn this watch every day since 2009. Last year I changed the battery for the first time. I have always thought that it is the perfect form factor to fit some more fan…

Veranillo de San Juan has been a thing since forever[0], and it usually was at the end of June. However, people have taken to call any hot spell this way, even if it's nowhere near St. John…

>Honestly I'll ride it out but I do feel bad for people with kids. Do you live near the coast? If so, "riding it out", might involve moving inland and paying insane property prices.…
