Since we have had houses with multiple rooms it has certainly made sense to shout “where are you?”
Scratch that. Since there were opaque things larger than a human that could be positioned in between two humans (rock, tree, bush, animal) it has made sense.
Scratch that. Since there was dark it has made sense.
Back when I wrote my own start menu replacement (for Windows XP), it worked by turning itself transparent and not responding to mouse input. When you clicked the start button, it would turn itself back to opaque and start responding to mouse input. This meant it opened in maybe 32 milliseconds if it was being particularly slow and took two frames to open instead of one.
When I started my company, I decided a 4day/40hour work week would be best, but pretty quickly I realized that those extra two hours a day are usually wasted anyway. Now I do a 4day/32hour work week, and I’ve been a lot more productive.
It doesn’t? If you travel at the speed of light (which isn’t possible since you have mass) you don’t experience any time or distance. To the perspective of a photon, it is released and absorbed at the exact same moment in time, and it has traveled no distance at all.
It definitely is depending on what you’re measuring. I’ve personally seen at least three times more people pushed to Linux each month since Windows 11 was released. Probably more. Windows 11 is the fastest Windows version at creating new Linux users, easily.
Is it just me or has Kurtzgesakt gotten really weird over the last couple years? Like, their videos seem like they want to be clickbait, but they’re really bad at it.
I’m sorry but if your industry requires that you commit a bunch of crimes to make money, it’s not a legitimate industry, it’s a criminal industry. We’ve had these for a long time, and generally they’re frowned upon, because the crimes are usually drugs, guns, murder, sex trafficking, or theft. When the crime is intellectual property theft, apparently we forget to care. Then again, same with wage theft.
That’s the thing though, free social media was giving them massive returns. But the line must go up. And once they completely saturated the market, there are only two ways to make the line go up: expand the market (give Internet to communities that didn’t have it), or extract more money from your existing users (enshittify). Facebook made a half assed attempt at the first one for a couple years, then pivoted hard to the second.
It’s simpler, there is a client for everything even mobile phones, it has a move command, it has props that can be edited without a copy command, pagination is however you set it up to be rather than a one size fits all approach, it can be just as scalable as S3 if you build it to be, it has much simpler locks that make them easier to use so you might actually use them, keys can be longer than 1024 characters, actual directories exist.
That’s just the protocol level. The biggest benefit for me isn’t really at the protocol level, but part of the design of my own WebDAV server: deduplication. I can throw the same file into my server with 50 different keys, and it will only take up the space of one copy on disk. This basically moved the logic of deduplication from my application to the blob store. Mountains easier from an application design perspective.
There are use cases where S3 is better, but they are few and far between. And, WebDAV is extensible. You can build whatever functionality you need into it, rather than using some proprietary protocol.
We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:
Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
