  • If you have those problems it's probably time to invest into clearing all those risks and uncertainties up. Even if you just let it sit because it works, there is no telling what it means for company, IT, and data security.

    It's not like everything has to be upgraded at once either. Windows is quite compatible. The main thing is the hardware requirement when upgrading to 11.

    • 44% Male/Masculine
    • 39% No information
    • 18% Female/Feminine

    Tech bias even on public domain open contribution datasets. Apparently could use more female contributors.

  • A standard for build output might make sense to me. Maybe just throw cache stuff in .cache and build output to .build (with intermediate artifacts in there as well potentially).

    When enabled via flag, dotnet puts stuff into artifacts/obj, artifacts/bin, and artifacts/publish respectively. I like that. So much better than every proj folder having their own.

    And there's really no need to make it a dot folder. For the publish you don't want to anyway. And you may want to navigate to bin as well, to run a build or inspect the output.

  • A bit too broad to give a specific answer from my side.

    Overall, I prefer web based over apps, because I can CSS hack and if necessary JS hack them.

    Web also means it doesn't litter my PC or mobile phone or tablet. And that it can't fetch more data than it needs or I want it to have access to.

    Bad software is bad software, no matter if it's installed or on the web.

  • The git compatibility is necessary for adoption and connected use.

    jj does significantly reduce the work interface, but the git compatibility increases complexity again.

    I tried it out a little bit a few days ago, and found it interesting. But given my git knowledge and tooling, I can't reasonably switch. First, I would miss my TortoiseGit Log view (entrypoint to everything). But also, the connection between jj and git seems complex and potentially error prone.

    As a fresh and independent tool I can definitely see how it's much easier and better, especially for people not familiar with Git.

  • from some time ago

    It's a fair statement and personal experience, but a question is, does this change with tool changes and user experience? Which makes studies like OP important.

    Your >95% garbage claim may very well be an isolated issue due to tech or lib or llm usage patters or whatnot. And it may change over time, with different models or tooling.

  • It's not a duplicate URL. You posted an image, they posted a link to the study.

    I mainly wanted to give the additional context and discussion, more so than say "has already posted".

    I assume I must have compared a modified date or sth, dunno. Misled by it being shown further down in my feed.

  • So many words…

    oh god please no

    wth is all that coloring [in the design samples]

  • Documentation: A place where we can create documentation for projects that don’t have the documentation or is very basic.

    Why create or extend documentation outside of the project when you could improve the project docs themselves?

    Projects that are open source but don't allow easy doc contributions?


    I find contributing to projects very easy. When I read some docs, and find an issue, I create a pull request with a fix. When I'm interested in a project, I take a look at open issues. Often the website and software project are separate repos with separate issues.


    I find the idea of a community of people sharing ideas, open tasks, seeking and finding contributors compelling, but I'm skeptical any new platform could reach critical mass. Maybe that'd be a matter of approach and long term effort.

  • Stop allowing full unfettered access

    There's a decline button. At least privacy settings don't repeatedly come up again (what this post is about).

  • If you lease you car you have to give it back.

    If you license your games for the duration of them being active, then it makes sense.

    The biggest issue, miscommunication, and often illegal practice is calling it buying when it is only a limited subscription. IIRC Steam recently (finally had to) change the wording away from "buying". Because it's not buying if you don't own the product afterwards.

  • Better flood them with interested users than ask for thumbs up on a ticket.

  • What's with the signed 2.0 vs unsigned 2.1 Windows installer?

    Winget apparently already references the unsigned installer. Does it take them a while to sign? I would expect winget to reference only signed installers if they provide them.

  • We want to move down to the next line (line feed) but also to the beginning of that line (carriage return) after all.

  • Unless you open it in Excel. In which case bad things will happen no matter what you have in the CSV…

  • They bought Java (not javascript)

    They bought Sun, which "owned" Java and JavaScript.
