You're right. This is an unsolvable problem. There's no way to provide education on how to use tools to anyone that might want to use one.

That's actually a super weird implementation. I can hover over a link and open a modal preview, and then hover over a link in that modal to open another modal, ad infinitum. I ended up with 20 modals covering the page, and then moved m

Inko uses automatic reference counting, which you can argue about definitions, but I would consider to be GC. At any rate, it's not relevant to whether Rust's complexity is accidental or not, because Rust specifically doesn't

After searching, I assume you're talking about this infant death? https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/doctors-debate-wh... That doesn't seem clear cut enough to say "There has been at least o

This comments relies on a faulty assumption that other people share the same moral framework as the commenter. Unfortunately, people commenting like this don't tend to realize how much of their own moral framework is simply an ill-fitt

The worst part of flutter's web stuff is that the quality is absolute janky garbage. They're trying to undermine an open ecosystem, and they don't even offer anything useful in return. It's like making a deal with the de

It's actually super useful if you've got a table with two columns like "sku" and "product_name", where the value in both columns has one unique value from the other column paired with it. You can group by sku,

Meh. After reading both the linked page and this link[1] that someone else posted in this thread, I definitely agree with this take from the latter: > After reading his article, it is safe to say that Horgan does not have the first clue

And yet, what if you had an entire internet of ungreek like that and spent the equivalent of many human lifetimes reading through it? You would encode your own meaning, just like a large language model does internally. Your encoded meaning

Even if it sometimes lied, I would pay real money for a service that answered questions like "How do I cook basmati rice in an instant pot? Google has lost the plot on queries like this, and I don't have time to wade through the m
