My problem with e-bikes is my problem with regular bikes. Riding on the sidewalk is generally not permitted and I don't trust drivers in cars to not murder me while driving in the street.
I ride the bus and I can promise you I don't do it because of luxury. Even if that was true, it would only be true in North America. In the rest of the developed world, public transport extends out into rural areas.
Kickstarter will not lose any trust with this decision and if anything they probably gained a decent amount of goodwill from artist and their fanbases.
I mention effort because Microsoft hasn't even tried to put a real attempt into competing with Google on maps before claiming a monopoly. Tried nothing and completely out of ideas must be an impenetrable monopoly. To compare it with the FTC's definition, Microsoft and Facebook are not excluded from competing with Google Maps. You can make a maps app and put it on Android today.
Exhausted with people abusing and misusing the word monopoly. A monopoly and having market dominance are not the same thing. Google has put far more effort into Google Maps than Microsoft ever has into Bing Maps.
At one point in the video, Rossman does imply that he is getting special attention because tech lobbyists (i.e. Apple) are trying to attack him because he lobbies against Apple when it comes to Right to Repair and has done so for years. Not only through criticism on YouTube but in government hearings. Specifically hearings about Right to Repair.
This is wrong and you should just watch the video before getting on your soapbox. Or at least click on it and see the title which almost certainly tells you why.
C++ is heavily customized C. The heavy customization make Redshift a columnar database and more ideal for querying large amounts of data quickly. How does Timescale help Postgres in this area?
As much as I understand the reasoning behind this thought, I do not agree with it. Yes, my devices are tools and as much as possible, I'd like to keep my tools looking nice. For me, part of that is having a nice wallpaper. I am forced to use a Windows computer at work but you know what? I actually like the new picture they use on the lock screen everyday. It's simply the feeling of "oh that's a nice looking place" and then getting to work.
>...this move does feel like they're just going to encourage more and more of the net to be blocked off behind a paywall.
On a personal level I have no problem with this. It's just one way of moderating and curating your community. Not everyone has the time and resources to deal with a free for all.
Is it? Can't people read your DMs on Mastodon as well? If that is your concern then seems like all things are equal. I'm being somewhat obtuse but I don't see how Mastodon is a reasonable replacement for Twitter.
Why would Spotify allow you to replace payment processor? App developers make this complaint about Apple and Google because the App devs are actually selling something. In this case you are buying a service from Spotify. It literally makes no sense in this case.
There is no good "book" but the fine team over at GDQuest do a lot of written material in addition to their video courses. Their 2D Secrets course is entirely written with no video accompaniment. My suggestion is go through the docs, go through a couple short video courses, then pick up their 2D secrets course. It is the best written material for Godot currently available in my opinion
