Oh dear they made a terrible mistake right from the start. > The goal of Search has always been simple: to help you ask anything on your mind

No. The goal of search is to find websites that match the text of the search term you put in. When they started to think they were "answering questions" is when google search started to become useless.

It's very much easier to ignore ads in a newspaper. It's not so easy when you are forced to listen to them before the thing you paid for. It's not the same.

Yes, my dedicated server is going up by 3% this year. That doesn't seem bad at all. It's still cheap!

I wanted to create something for my daughter that could just play a particular one of a curated set of programs on demand, but there are so many apps for different services, it;s so hard to know how to begin to control them all.

Vulkan is definitely a major pain and very difficult to learn... But once you've created an init function, a create buffer function, a create material function etc which you do once you can largely then just ignore it and write at a higher level.

I don't like Vulkan. I keep thinking did nobody look at this and think 'there must be a better way' but it's what we've got and mostly it's just learn it and write the code once

> his will allow you to distribute your creations to a limited number of devices without going through the full verification requirements.

Sorry, *allow*? ALLOW?

I'm sorry. My device. My software. My customer or friend. You don't have the right to insert yourself into the process. Very kind of you to ALLOW me to do something you have no involvement in whatsoever.

Like everything google do the real reason for the plan is to let google insert themselves unwanted into someone elses business so they can extract money from other people's work.

I would bin my android phone now if the alternatives weren't even worse,

Sometimes it's just wrong. An old one :-

"It is now safe to turn off your computer"

Awesome I'll go turn it off then, it's just across the room from this one that isn't mine that I'm currently shutting down

My answer is usually I think your product is great but I'm not going to recommend it to anyone.

So you get a zero even though you're product is great.

Ask the right question!

But it's not usual to have an anesthetic for a colonoscopy is it? I've had two without. I was offered a light sedation but then I couldn't have driven home afterwards. It wasn't particularly awful without.

It's it usual to be asleep? I've not really heard of that. Is it a US thing?

I understand why the presumption was there.

If it's not then every single case of tax evasion people would claim that they had paid and the computer must have lost the payment. Every single traffic camera offense would be contested. Every time you didn't have a train ticket people would claim the computer lost it. And so on.

And there would be months and months of delays if every time it had to be proved beyond a doubt that the equipment was working fully in that case out of all proportion to the risk of there actually being a problem.

However clearly there does need to be a way to challenge the presumption too. Of course just assuming equipment is working is entirely unfair.

After a brief look at the article it looks a reasonable weakening of the presumption which allows the court to consider and reject a challenge when they think fit according to the court rules (to be established) Pretty much like any other form of evidence.

I may not have read the release notes etc properly but I'd been using this with the most recent updates of clion and assumed it was just a new feature being added.

I recently renewed my subscription in part because this looked interesting. I kind of regret that now.

I had assumed that the subscription entitled you to all of clion and other ides, not just part of them and other features would be an addition charge.

when I see the words "forever chemicals" in some writing I assume the use of emotive language is simply there to try to manipulate me and so whatever the opposite of what the article says is likely the truth

I have one of their cheapest dedicated servers and a Sunday evening a few weeks ago the hard drive died.

I put in a ticket and within about half an hour they had installed a replacement disk. I then had to reinstall everything because I'd messed up my raid config but that was totally my fault not theirs.

I was very pleased with that efficiency on what is a very cheap server.

I use signal as my SMS program and a few people who have signal. if I can't use it as my SMS program I'm not going to keep using it for the handful of people who have signal and will likely just go back to SMS for everyone.

oh well

I really like zig and think it is potentially a great language. I also used D a little in the past too, but somehow drifted away but some of the comments here make me want to revisit it

Great we have many good languages to choose from
