I've seen a similar benefit enforcing a 1 year instead of 3 year TLS cert lifetime limit in the past. It forces more automation and stronger processes.

Again, Zuck's success criteria don't necessarily align with that of others. In fact, I'd expect his success criteria are substantially different to most.

Why are you assuming Zuck's expectations for progress of _his_ product have anything to do with the impact of that category of product for its users?

The baseline engineer in that case must really be something incompetent.

Country filters for Luxembourg and Monaco, no country filter for Ireland?

The argument was for markup to have semantic meaning, not number of lines. Also, NPM was not born for browser JS.

In the 2000s wasn't everything just misused/abused table layouts? Maybe we frequented different places, but that's how I remember it.

There's "becoming more conservative," and then there's what happened to Scott Adams.

This has not been my experience. I've an Nvidia desktop and AMD HTPC, both running Wayland and a wide variety of games. What's more, they both do variable sync and HDR.

New comment by Kudos in "I don’t need a Steam Machine"

Kudos — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:32:04 +0000

This and machines with 5090s are a completely different market.

The Steam Machine is marketed primarily as something sitting under your TV. I don't have 5090 under my TV money, 99.9% of people don't. That's not the target demographic.

Isn't the more obvious answer that the market research firm got their number wrong?

You could just use the last hyphen. It's not as simple since you need to scan the whole string, but it certainly doesn't seem like a challenge to me.

You mention in the article you have no direct reports. Who does engineering report into in that case?

You're confusing system efficiency and individual efficiency.

Same but with Forgejo and for the last 6 months.

If you think of it as a multiplier, even a small one, then Paul Erdos was just multiplying from a larger starting number.

I use 4 different banks, they all work with GrapheneOS.

Swipe input isn't the responsibility of the OS. Just install a keyboard that offers it.

Hey, I think everyone understands how they work by now and the pedantry isn't helpful.
