It's not a free market without meaningful choice. You can't say a slave is free because their master is free to enslave them, and they're free to escape if they can. Sometimes you need rules to create real freedom.

Requests for documentation clarification: - Here [1] it says "Project settings override user settings." How does gemini determine if we're in a project? Does it look for a `.gemini` folder in the current working directory as

This is exactly the kind of innovation Apple apologists don't realize they're missing out on in the walled garden. You could still have easy, centralized billing with all-in-one management and one-click cancellation, while paying

I think the more insidious and fundamental issue is that there are a plethora of subtly different clocks that everyone calls "UTC". A real UTC clock has an occasional 61-second minute. A leap second would read 11:59:60. So that da

by bloppe 1y ago
The issue with leap seconds is that the BIPM recommends that everyone should use UTC for their "source of truth" fundamental representation for time stamps, so pretty much every software system does that. That's the core mist

I've been daily-driving Linux for decades. I know how valuable it is. But I'm also "that guy" who likes examining every little piece of my system. I thought we were talking about the normies who just "hear good thin

This is funny but it's telling that people often resort to exaggerations to paint Linux as hard to use. Any major distro is a lot easier to set up than it was 15 years ago. Sure, most people's eyes gloss over the moment I try to e

It's a silly comparison because the author implies that OSS is a monolith that's failing to coordinate amongst its parts, whereas proprietary software firms are individuals that excel at self-coordination but are never expected to

It's really not an open source issue. It's a more general issue than that. The author provides as counterexamples MacOS and Windows, but that's a silly comparison. Apple nor Microsoft never coordinated with anybody else on th

The first part about labor is a bit incoherent. It bemoans the accumulation of wealth by the capital class, then the part on profitability claims that the capital class is actually losing by investing in AI. It also seems to imply that labo

Idk why you're assuming I put up with ads for any of those things. Believe it or not, the $ vs. ads trade-off is alive and well on Android

Well we're taking about legislation here. Obviously if the president is already ignoring the constitution then he doesn't need Congress to pass any bills giving him more powers

Are you saying the phenomenon is different on Twitter than on bluesky?

Data brokers don't care about easy APIs anyway. They'll save that tweet even if it takes a dozen engineers, a global bot net, and millions in cloud spend to do it at scale

I would never defend Android, but the idea that iOS is somehow better is pretty funny to me

"there is an idea that autonomous vehicles are something that will erode driver jobs and put drivers at risk. And I think the irony of what we’ve seen is that it’s actually quite expensive to run an AV, and that that’s not going to be

This tax is far more consequential for small companies than for large ones. It probably actually benefits larger companies because it hobbles competition.

I agree with you in principle, but this isn't like T-strings or C++ concepts. We're talking about a feature that has become infamous for it's lack of syntax in Go. A feature that every other major language has some syntax f

The article seems to admit that a `try` keyword restricted to statements / assignments only would combine the best parts and alleviate the major concerns of both the `try` and `?` proposals. It reads as though the concept has not been

Neuromodulators like the hormones you're referring to affect your mood only insofar as they interact with neurons. Things like competitive antagonists can cancel out the effects of neuromodulators that are nevertheless present in your

All our real insights on this matter come from experiments involving amputations or lesions, like split brain patients, quadriplegics, Phineas Gage and others. Split brain patients are essentially 2 different people occupying a single body.

Cognitive load is somewhat subjective. The composability advantage is what's hard to wrap your head around if you've never developed the skill. Vim / Helix / Kakoune are fundamentally more powerful keybinding systems due

There are other grammatical keybindings out there. Some can be considered better. But none are as ubiquitous as Vim.

There's `vim` the program, and there's Vim the language. You can use Vim the language anywhere. It's pretty rare for me to interact with any text box without Vim keybindings these days, many of which are in GUI apps with tool
