A fascinating project that’s best understood as a cautionary tale Because the best way to run your life is following the advice of people on social media
Or rather an AI trained on social media. What could go wrong?

By expiring older, redundant packages, you get better performance, shorter scan times, a faster user experience, and reduced risk of deploying older updates which have been superseded with newer, more secure ones. Does this mean I'll need to update my updates?

I think you would be better if you deactivate it instead of upgrading it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Especially if you expire all the security ones.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Study shows that we think Internet searches are a sign we know more than we do. "You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."
And yes, of course I had to Google that one.

In this year’s State of Salaries Report, we took a close look at Hired’s marketplace data to uncover how and why salaries have changed – specifically with the spike in remote work – since the beginning of 2020 and how demand for tech talent has shifted across different markets. "But if you ask for a raise, it's no surprise that they're giving none away"

Like a lot of people who buy a .dev domain, we had no idea what we were going to do with it. And we certainly didn't anticipate that it would end up being the fulfillment of a mission over a decade in the making. Code your web pages in a web page
(and you can code other stuff too)

I know I shouldn't be shocked and amazed but this is beyond awesome. I've been dreaming of a day when I can develop on any machine (literally: any machine) anywhere. I'm on the couch with the iPad, or outside a cafe with the macbook, or at the side of the road with my phone, with a shredded bike tyre waiting for an Uber. Or I'm travelling and something blows up. I can hop onto a random computer anywhere and fix the code. To be able to just open up a browser and plug away on some code anywhere anytime is so, so awesome.
I was editing, I was syncing my settings, I was loving how snappy it felt, and then the scratch of a record needle and I was sad when I hit F5
Quote: Run and Debug are not available in the web editor. To run and debug, you will need to continue in an environment that can run code, like a codespace or local VS Code.

Brave Browser has replaced Google with its own no-tracking privacy-centric Brave Search as the default search engine for new users in five regions. Well, that was brave of them

Last days I read it's used to deepWeb (like Tor, etc.), is it correct? 
|
|
|
|
|
I think it does connect to Tor, yeah (never installed it). I think the main focus is just a push for a more secure/private browsing experience.

Microsoft continues to inch closer to getting Android apps to run on Windows 11. Now there's developer documentation available about the coming Windows Subsystem for Android. Because nothing says 'productivity', like using an app designed for 360x640 on your 4K screen
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know full-market and top-countries business, but (here) HD (1280/1366) / fullHD are usual resolutions... 2k/4k, you work it, but 
We only use 4k's on home-office (if it's bought it).
|
|
|
|
|
/shrug. I just picked a resolution off the top of my head for the desktop. I've never had anything near 4k either. It was just easier than looking up what my laptop is (1900? 1500? some number)

Yeah. Having used android/ios emulators I'm well aware of how bad the mouse instead of a touch screen experience can be.
The insult to injury part is that the biggest problem I've had with Android Emulators was that they were always slow; so even a touchscreen laptop was of minimal value. The iOS emulator is really fast; but Apple's designers apparently hate greasy fingerprints on their glossy laptop screens so they only offer non-touch laptops.

It's funny but I suddenly realised that I trust a random Windows download more than I trust a random Android download.

Researchers have long suspected a connection between information and the physical universe, with various paradoxes and thought experiments used to explore how or why information could be encoded in physical matter. 640KB ought to be enough for everything

And how much of that information is cat videos?
