Shame is a spectrum. I don’t think he should flagellate himself until the end of time. I think that they should be a little bit embarrassed that they haven’t published what they believed the risk of the everything package was. Upon rereadin

I agree to a large extent but I am not sure even rereading my comment that I can take that that’s what I am advocating for. I just think it would have been good to give the “I was hoping to investigate X, I did not expect Y, I can see now t

What a dissatisfying non-apology of an apology. > First, just want to apologize about any difficulties this package has caused. No rationale. No shame. Just the word “apologize” in a sentence. Who downloaded it though? Surely as a dev if

Ah don’t forget num lock. Once every 2 years I gotta do data entry with something that can’t be OCR’d for whatever reason and I need those keys.

It will be interesting to see how much further it will be possible for Apple to push their platform. I think the Jobs/Ive legacy that has pushed the thermals ahead of raw compute had given them a massive headstart in the LLM age for bo

Right? My keyboard came with RGB. I don’t care for it but I let it light up if any kind of lock is engaged and it glows a low red colour beneath the keys that I click. That’s the only step I go beyond you. And the only reason I did it was b

Unfortunately, attention to detail can sometimes go by the wayside when I am feeling righteous! I apologise. I am humbled.

And useful from a design perspective. Need to make a bigger version? It scales so easily.

Women’s hands in every image yet a man’s face everywhere. Just a little on the nose. Obviously I am not the target demographic but I am interested to see where this goes.

You make it sound like a dream. Where were you road tripping?

Yeah but I can live with a gross car covered in shit that children drop and I get the convenience of a car whenever I want. I never have to pay some peak season pricing. Owning things means you get to be your own master. That is worth diffe

Yep. GPL is the greatest thing that has ever happened to software and this stuff seeks to destroy it.

It's a project of some of the most well endowed educational institutions on Earth begging for donations. Begging for donations is their raison d'être. FWIW no pop up for me and generally I find the articles good.

Those lyrics aren’t in the piece nor are they the original lyrics of to the tune. I can say with confidence most popular tunes of the 20th C have been sung with bigoted lyrics in various context. You only have to think to football matches.

This is true to a large extent but if you let edge cases build up over a long time you end up with an n-dimensional long tail. A whole bunch of customers to whom you’re not providing the expected quality of service. It depends on the type o

I think it would sort of be like GNU. Stallman created the tools before the kernel because without tools it’s got no value. You need the programs to make this hypothetical shell useful. That’s structuring the output of pretty much every pro

That is genius. Does anyone know how it worked? Each command would have to have been done individually yeah?

My understanding was that it was a parody of these blog posts satirising the pointlessness of pushback against conventional wisdom. Rather dry.

I don’t disagree. I am attempting to say a person shouldn’t be able to record someone else’s performance and distribute it for profit or post it on a streaming service and profit from the ads.

Artificial scarcity is a scourge but I think for some works, say where you only want them to be available in a specific time and place, then perhaps as the author of that work you have a right to enforce that, at least to the extent that ot

I think you’ve been rather blunt, and the fact is that the UK does have some exceptional local produce, but there is a kernel of truth: people in the UK accept particularly low standards from their supermarkets compared to the wealth that e

I didn’t remember the detail that the label included the word “family”… what an incredible marketing coup by the British, Danes, and Irish.

Brown saved British steel but let the yanks buy Cadbury’s… sigh. I get that others have preferences but I will never understand preferring Hershey’s. It’s almost like a lesser version of the coriander thing. It just contains a flavour that

Yeah, here much of the advertising is that you will receive zero prices but the fact is most consumers have limited ability to shape their usage due to local energy storage constraints, poor building design, and simply not being technically

I think it depends on where on Earth you are but at this point, from the point of view of Australia, this seems inevitable due to its necessity in ensuring the maximisation of our natural advantage with sunlight and space when compared with

Mistakes? The thing about evolving design is that the environment changes. Fork/exec is fairly ergonomic compared to CreateProcess. Very few parameters. From a time when programs were small and security was simple. No design is immorta
