You built it, but your employee owns it? That sounds highly unusual.

Autocorrect — employer. Too late to change, now!

Probably a single-letter typo. Makes complete sense if changed to “employer.”

Auto corrected employer?

YAML strings should really require delimiters rather than being context-dependent.

You can’t. Every attempt at privatizing rail is a failure with worse performance, higher prices, and an inevitable level of special treatment by the state due to the monopolistic utility-like nature of rail infrastructure. Not everything needs to or should be privatized.

This 100%. It should be seen as critical infrastructure because of everything it can enable when run well.

The price of an ad-free original kindle experience was $409. The $10 is on top of the price the user paid for the device.

Lets not distort the past. The ads were introduced a few years later with the Kindle Keyboard, which launched with an MSRP of $140 for the base model, or $115 with ads. That was a substantial discount on a product which was already cheap when it released.

All for ads which are only visible when you aren't using the device anyway. Don't like them? Then buy other devices, pay to have them removed, get a cover to hide them, or just store it with the screen facing down when you aren't using it.


Yes and here in Europe they were introduced even later, with kindle 4 IIRC.

I am.

You don’t need third-party search managers like Alfred for this. You can just make a Shortcut called “llm” that accepts Spotlight input.


Interesting, I asked the LLMs if it's possible and it says there's an additional step of opening the shortcut first, then typing the prompt, whereas Alfred lets you put the prompt inline (i.e. you don't have to wait for the shortcut to open or anything to load). (glad for any correction to my understanding)


No, with Tahoe you get an inline input assuming “Accept input from Spotlight” is enabled for the Shortcut.


All of ffmpeg’s functionality is accessible from C (and transitively most other programming languages) via libavformat, libavcodec etc. FFmpeg supporting WebRTC means that projects using these libraries gain support for WebRTC in code.


Yes, pretty much every bit of ffmpeg can be enabled or disabled when compiling.


See also SwiftUI’s AttributedString, which can be directly instantiated from a string literal containing Markdown syntax.


Nitpick: AttributedString is a member of the Swift Foundation framework. It's not limited to SwiftUI.

> It’s trivial to create malformed Markdown syntax

Not helped by Gruber’s refusal to bless a specific well-specified Markdown flavor, leaving us to deal with all the undefined behavior of his original implementation.
