What’s a company that objectively improved after it got “bought out?”

  • IIRC Stewart Grand Prix and then Jaguar Squad. Not an F1 guy though so could definitely be wrong.

    • Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning

    Jump

  • Yes.

    • New Nintendo patent suggests Switch 2 may solve joycon drift

  • It's a way to detect which way the stick is pointing using magnets. It's way more accurate and incredibly reliable.

    • You can count on me!

  • Except you remember carefully putting it down in a particular spot so you'll remember where it is, but you've been looking for 10 minutes now and still can't remember what that spot was

    • How Python dictionaries work

    Jump

  • Pretty sure Jython is, though not a Python 3 version. My exposure is as the scripting language, behind Java as the primary language, for Ghidra. And I hate it and installed Eclipse rather than deal with J/Python's shit.

    • This community lately

  • Typically this thinking is mostly correct - e.g. Manifest v3 - but not in this case. If websites see enough users using chormium, via user agent or other fingerprinting, they'll be more willing to require WEI. And unlike Manifest v3 etc. this affects the whole web, not just users of one browser or the other.

    In every case monopolies are bad. Including in tech.

    • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?

    Jump

  • Yep! Just need faster internet so I can share with more friends 😭

  • Same here. And especially for watch parties Jellyfin has been great.

    • ‘No Republican party’ in US today, says anti-Trump conservative judge

    Jump

  • I should have been more clear - I meant that since the electoral college is only used for presidential elections, its existence does not (meaningfully) affect the viability of a third party since the vast majority of elections are not decided by it. 100% agree with what you're saying.

  • The electoral college has hardly anything to do with the party system in the US because it's only used for presidential elections. If a third party was viable in FPTP then we should see a much larger share of them in Congress - especially the House - given the relatively small constituency of each representative and the large number of representatives.
