I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it's internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.

If a tool were created that properly converted an UML diagram into a project without any need for code, all the programmers that lost their job to this tool would then be hired by the company that offered it, in order to give maintenance and support to everything the customers want in their programs.

It would be removing programmers from they payroll of some companies but they would still be working for them, just further down in the chain.

The same is true for AI. If AI could completely replace programmers in some area, it would need a lot of programmers itself to keep dealing with all the edge cases that would show up from being used everywhere that a programmer was needed before.

And it has multiple meanings. "you are sick" can mean that you're currently sick but can also mean that you're a sick person. Other languages usually differentiate the verb in those two cases

Maybe also for a free "weaker" wish for personal achievements, like completing one's dream hobby project.

One free wish for any and every person who achieves something truly outstanding for mankind as whole (only positive achievements).

The fact that a simple OS update can make the CPU up to 13% more effective makes me wonder how much performance difference there is between Windows and Linux.

Since I have dual boot, I'll check later if I can find any benchmark tool that works on both so I can compare.

It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like to use the letter template?

Anyone in charge of a non-publicly traded company will want to do what's best for the company in the long term instead of milking as much from it as fast as they can, so I don't think that replacing Gabe by someone else will be the end of Valve like so many people claim.

We kinda need to adapt the saying now. When someone finds gold, you need to sell wood and iron for all the shovel makers that will show up.

For some reason Spotify is even worse than the average electron app. Back when I still had only 16GB of ram (and worked on this same project), running out of ram would cause some random app to close. If I had Spotify open, it would freeze the whole system instead.

Oh, there is. But while they keep this game up, there's still plausible deniability for everything.

The creator of bitcoin is as unknown as batman's identity. The folks at the center of the main blockchain companies and stuff like that all know pretty well who created it, they just play along with the story.
