Yeah, for sure. Same reason a bunch of subscription stuff goes up in price after a year or two.

why Domino’s shouldn’t just charge less when they can afford to.

Ideally they would charge less, but people are willing to pay the higher prices, so they charge the higher prices. We live in a capitalist society, and they’ll increase the prices as high as the market can bear.

A lot of companies increase their prices but have coupons that bring the price down. Easy way for them to make more money, as people that like the product will continue to buy it, and not every customer will use the coupons.

On Linux, input-remapper usually works pretty well to remap the extra buttons. I wonder if it’d work on this AI button.

They changed systemd-tmpfiles to create stuff other than tempfiles a while back, but for whatever reason they never renamed it to better describe what it does.

I’m not going to hunt down people who are infringing on projects like this:

It’s more that people won’t use the code at all if there’s no license attached. For someone that’s looking for a snippet of code to reuse, it’s much easier to instead find a permissively licensed piece of code that performs a similar function, instead of contacting the author of the unlicensed code and trying to figure out what to do.

Also, that’s sort of presumptuous to believe you know what I want better than myself

Sorry - I meant to address it to readers of your comment rather than you. I edited the comment to make it clearer.

EV certs used to make the address bar green, so there was a tangible benefit to them. These days, they look exactly the same. It proves that the ownership has been verified, but if no users even see that, does it even matter?

If you run a website: Paid SSL/TLS certificates. Free ones like Let’s Encrypt and ZeroSSL are just as good, and can be automatically renewed.

I hate that these commercial providers are the first thing people think of when they hear “VPN” these days, rather than the actual main use case for a VPN (connecting to a remote network, like a work network, from another location).

AirVPN are probably the best. They’re independent, more transparent than the other providers, and support port forwarding.

Probably ozempic, since people going off it immediately balloon back up

Doesn’t that mean that it’s actually working, though? It has an effect when you’re using it, and the effect goes away when you stop using it.

Also the version for weight loss is called Wegovy.

Doesn’t bother licensing

That’s usually not what someone would want to do. The default if you don’t provide a license is essentially “all rights reserved”, and you’re not granting anyone else permission to use it in any way. Everyone that wants to use it has to get explicit permission.

If you really want “no license” then you probably actually want to release it as public domain.

In E2E tests you should ideally be finding elements using labels or ARIA roles. The point of an E2E test is to use the app in the same way a user would, and users don’t look for elements by class name or ID, and definitely not by data-testid.

The more your test deviates from how real users use the system, the more likely it is that the test will break even though the actual user experience is fine, or vice versa.

This is encouraged by Testing Library and related libraries like React Testing Library. Those are for unit and integration tests though, not E2E tests. I’m not as familiar with the popular E2E testing frameworks these days (we use an internally developed one at work).

In an alternate reality, we’d all be using JSSS, which was even worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets

The Windows store is also a sandboxed, heavily restricted pile of trash you can’t even get at for most of its apps.

They changed that around the tine Windows 11 was released. Regular Win32 apps can be listed in there.

NTFS permissions are just needlessly complicated and convoluted and create more problems than they solve for desktop use.

What’s an example of a problem they create?

If Windows would just use simple permissions like Linux does

I don’t think using an antiquated permission system from the 1970s is the solution to anything. Being able to set permissions for only a single user and single group is very limiting, especially when there’s background processes that run as other users. There’s a reason later revisions of POSIX added ACLs.

The excuses for using obsolete Windows continues by its paid shills and brainwashed users.

lol I’m not a paid shill nor a brainwashed user; I just see pros and cons for all operating systems. Linux-based OSes do some things better, and Windows-based OSes do other things better. Even MacOS has its pros.

executable as a filesystem attribute

This already exists. It’s labeled as “Traverse folder / execute file” in the UI.

NTFS permissions are also more powerful than the default Linux permission system. Instead of just being able to define permissions for a single user and single group, you can define them for an arbitrary number of users and groups.

I say “default Linux permission system” because you can actually use ACLs on Linux (getfacl and setfacl commands), they’re just not used by default. They used to be common in businesses and schools, but these days everyone seems to store their files “in the cloud” and the permissions are managed there instead.

curated app repos

This is what the Windows store is supposed to be. There’s also WinGet, but I’m not sure if it’s curated.

That’s probably the presenter’s fault for not updating it earlier. Keep on top of your updates so they don’t force you to do it at an unfortunate time.

Years ago there was a screensaver that showed a fake “upgrading to Vista, please wait” screen. Just wait for someone to leave their computer unattended, download and set it as the screensaver, and wait for their reaction when they’re back :)

I think people just don’t care about startup times. They do it maybe once per day (if they don’t sleep and resume), and they probably get a coffee or something while it’s starting up.

This is the case with a lot of apps that follow SemVer, even though it’s not an official part of the spec. It’s not specific to Rust.

The other common thing I see is that if it’s been at 0.x for a long time, the minor version number eventually gets “promoted” to a major version number once the app is stable. For example, React went from 0.14.x to 15.0.0.
