Can someone break this down for me? Looks like it's using... C? to load a js interpreter which bootstraps an API around all UEFI features? Do I have that right? And, if so, does that mean that once the API has been bootstrapped, one co

Personally, I just go for "plateaus of understanding". As a filthy socialist in a deep red area, I never had a chance at convincing people all in one go. So I give them just enough that they'll come back around for another bi

Ah! That's interesting! I've never actually had that be difficult at all. Every time I ask "I'm just trying to get X. Is that something you can speak to?", I get a pretty concise answer, even if the response itself

I love thought terminating cliches. I love the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by... Poor, and nonsensical paraphrasing aside, I really do enjoy them because challenging them is amusing in a laconic, snippy kind of way. "It

hard disagree. conversation is a multiple-person activity. the onus is on the participants to understand one another. it's never on one person or the other to make themselves understood. that framing comes from the useless rich people

Godspeed! This is the software design philosophy that I support! As someone building my own design utility, I'm impressed by the quality of yours.

I've got no dog in this fight, since I don't use any AI, but the math feels unfinished in this. Calculated the $150USD/day for the loss, but not the $X for how much the app is speeding you up when you are able to use it. Obvi

sarcasm is easy, but I'd be willing to hear any earnest objections you have. my assumption is that you don't have any that aren't themselves hypocritical or contradictory, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong about that!

Very cool demo! Way too "dev design" to be fun to play, but a really awesome showcase of what can be done with pure web tech!

this looks very plainly like "oh shit, devs are having a really hard time actually integrating with our AI services! That must be the only reason we are seeing adoption so slow. quick - throw a wrapper around some boostrappers that c

What is the problem with this app's performance?

not a downvoter (actually, an upvoter), so grain of salt, but in my experience people cannot stand this framing. my best guess is that they dislike how impractical it is. obviously it's too abstract to be useful for most practical ap

no, I expect them to go to a store to buy the same product that their friend bought. then I expect them to use that product by scanning a QR code that comes up on their TV, and then registering an account using the site linked by that code

right on, man, that must be the only way transcoding can be done and completely future proof so it will never change to let the user transcode their own damn content. I get it; you're frustrated so you're nitpicking. funny how dan

yeah, tangled seems like a pretty well-designed piece of tech. I've never used it, myself, but I did an audit and found that it's not only analogous to github as far as UX, but it also includes features like CI/CD, which othe

yeah, I was one of them. developers are not the endgame, though. true social media needs people who are not going to do anything more complicated than "go to website, sign up". there's no world where setting up your own pds i

come on, man, let's be real. you're talking modern, practical application; I'm talking reasonable user buy in at big boy social media levels. the video hosting IS what I'm talking about being expensive. you think bsky is

Neat! Looks like a pretty straightforward way to develop. I'm a little too enamored with web components to give it more consideration/testing, but it looks like it could be great for blue sky/green field projects.

The tear gas was the only one that had me guessing. Knew the video was real, but wasn't sure it wasn't doctored just at the end with the throw. Overall, it read more real than fake, I was just sure they were going to try to "

Working as expected. Thanks for the fix! Now that I'm actually able to use it, it's pretty great. It's a really great experience, exploring to fill out the notes. I do get that rogue-like itch for immediacy, when I make a sim

Sweet! Thanks for the follow up. I hope it's a straightforward fix! Aside from that, nice work on the app! Looking forward to giving it another try. ETA: a shameless plug, but since you may have an interest in this kind of thing - I bu

Just a quick compatibility issue: for some reason, my midi board triggers a key input both when I press it down, and when I let it go. I'm assuming that it might just be something wrong with my board, but I did want to let you know in

Agreed. This article feels like someone asking "What happened to ffmpeg?" It's like...ah, yeah, I see how you might not hear about it, but uh... it's everywhere.

Well, you can already see my hope and prayer. I don't think it's unlikely to come about as you do; rather I think that in the long run the market will eventually reward the better behavior, as any good capitalist believes. But res

I think it might! Definitely checks enough boxes for me to try out, anyway. The UI is a little cumbersome for me, personally, but it does seem at least straightforward enough for me to understand what the intentions are. ETA: Welp, that did

Sweet! Sounds easy. If someone could wrap that up in a GUI that works on all OSes, that seems like it would solve my problem!

I appreciate the recc, but it misses the mark I think? Time machine is only on a single OS, and is designed as more of a "keep my whole system safe" backup rather than a "back these things up" backup. I can understand wh

Long term financial interests, mostly. I know the ads run on my network will never, under any circumstance, be allowed to appear without a skip button within 5 seconds. Immediately, if possible. The only conditional is when the skip button
