Ever since 3 years ago, every time I open a PDF in Preview it somehow scales it wrong, so swiping left and right jiggles the PDF... (Not that I swipe left/right intentionally, but that happens when swiping up/down). I alway have t

You're right, why would anyone use Adobe Reader instead of the built-in Preview on Mac? Though Preview has its own limitations.

Adobe Reader is the first app I don't install on new machines. It's slow and sluggish, riddled with dark patterns and annoying pop ups, disrespects the user in every possible way, and hides basic editing functionality behind subsc

Is this much drama around a tiny niche language normal? I've been happily using Python for over a decade and never encountered weird, dramatic behavior by its creators or main developers. Could it be that some languages, through the ta

I love the restarts system but the fact that the industry as a whole chose other approaches makes me wonder if there's something the "wisdom of the crowds" knows that I'm not aware of. > you can literally pause on an

You say that as if FP is objectively superior to the imperative style, but as someone who's done both, I still find FP style like "swimming against the river"—if my brain thinks in steps and iterations, why do the mental gymn

No language is going to replace mainstream languages if it comes with minimal libraries. PS and similar langs are nice efforts but unfortunately pointless.

it has become progressively easier to game benchmarks in order to appear higher in rankings. I’ve seen several models that claimed they were the best in software engineering only to be disappointed by them not figuring out the most basic co

This just shows how little Apple cares about gaming on Mac. It's so sad that I spent thousands on multiple Mac devices (MBP, M Studio, etc.) only to be bottlenecked not by hardware, but by Apple's shitty approach to gaming softwar

Is it just me who absolutely hates this much hype around AI while still getting value from AI models? I get it, MCP is useful, but it's neither new nor safe and well thought-out. It feels like everyone now has to write a mandatory MCP

Apple seems to overlook how much timing matters for Mac sales in academia. Macs—especially MacBooks—absolutely dominate among professors (I’d guess ~90% in my department). The academic fiscal year often ends in Aug/Sep, and new faculty

To be clear, I didn't meant you guys manipulate the comments. It was just weird seeing even @swyx's comment get that much downvotes.

Wow, is it a coincidence that every comment that says anything negative about ollama gets downvoted/flagged into oblivion? what is going on in this thread?

I hold a BSc in electrical engineering and even I still don't fully understand how circuits work, especially the ones that involve transistors. I tried various mental models to think about the "flow" of current/electrons
