What is the point being made here? Some past technologies were overhyped, therefore AI is overhyped? Well, some past consumer technologies did change the world (smartphones, texting, video streaming, dating apps, online shopping, etc), so

I agree with the general message, but I'm curious what ingredients go in your 800 calorie sandwich. That's more than a double Big Mac with 4 patties (780 kcal)!

Oh, the language aspect gets a lot worse than that. They explicitly have a non-goal of "all grammatical features of all languages", but the "common" cases are hard enough. From https://github.com/unicode-

As a happy Bazzite user, I had no idea things were so bumpy. At least the migration to other os-tree distros is trivial (Fedora Kinoite -> Bazzite was one or two shell commands). My main reason for using the distro was the built-in nvidi

You're right in a strict sense. But in my experience such strictness is only useful in hard sciences and (maybe) legalese. There are exceedingly few things we can claim to apply everywhere , and even fewer we can "prove" to

I think it's also appropriate to use it when the rule is so strong that exceptions are famous because they are exceptions. "Birds are capable of flight" is strong enough that penguins and ostriches are famous for being coun

Those are much easier problems to solve, and surely already solved by some fintechs, than bringing cryptocurrencies to the minimum legal compliance and meeting performance requirements.

Good, KYC exists for a reason. Why does AI need to open an account, anyway? Just give it a debit card with a limit, not a whole new account and contract with a bank.

Yeah, I noticed the engineering issues. One of the few PlayStation games I've played where crashing was a regular occurrence, which made the lack of saves even more infuriating. I wouldn't suggest removing steps entirely, but mayb

Random drafting is only part of the problem. My biggest gripe was the lack of in-run saving. When a run can take an hour, that's just disrespectful in a single player offline game. And another (smaller) issue is the step limit. End gam

It asks for a very different skill level than Outer Wilds, for sure. On the other hand, it gets extra points for the in-game manual booklet. The mechanics, the metaphor, and the gorgeous execution should be required material in game design

The Reddit community of Outer Wilds maintains an extremely comprehensive list of recommendations, in the style of "if you liked this aspect of the game, try these other games": https://www.reddit.com/r/outer

A bit late, but maybe you'll see this reply. I do use shortcuts, even with Octopi. WhatsApp has shortcuts to chat with specific contacts, and Termux has shortcuts to arbitrary snippets, and I love both. I mentioned the Shazam widget on

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if the change is rejected. The crypto library is very opinionated, you're also not allowed to configure the order of TLS cipher suites, for example.

I managed to add a Shazam Now button using a Shazam widget , not a shortcut . Give it a try! I just installed Octopi on this thread's recommendation. Pretty good so far, and I'm happy to remove the useless Google search bar from

Same here. On yesterday's puzzle I got into an unwinnable state on my very first move, using the topmost word (spoiler: I made "hut" instead of "out").

For me the best benefit of nushell is not the easier syntax, but the static type checks. It catches most typos before running the script, which is a godsend when the script is slow and/or has destructive operations.

The graph is scary, but I think it's conflating two things: 1. Newbies asking badly written basic questions, barely allowed to stay, and answered by hungry users trying to farm points, never to be re-read again. This used to be the vas

I'm also surprised by people's defense of VLC. It's a nice project, especially when it was created, but the bugs I regularly encountered were numerous and in seemingly common use cases. Here's a post I made 4 years ago

Hot take, but I blame 90% of these problems on the internet's overreliance on funding from advertisement. It all flows from there: 1. To display ads is to sacrifice user experience. This is a slippery slope and both developers and user

Absolutely agree, but it's funny that you mentioned graphlib. It has a single algorithm (topological sort)! The sqlite, tkinter, and shelve modules are the ones I find most impressive.

Elements are numbered, species are messy categories to begin with and too numerous, and astronomical objects do have sensible naming[1]. But to me it's still unclear what a good naming culture would look like for programmers. [1] http

I think the author makes a hard distinction between consumer products and infrastructure/engineering products. The Shelby Cobra has a funny name, but its engine is the memorably named V8. The Hoover Dam is a dam, and the Golden Gate Br
