Man, this really hits differently in the context of this topic :/

Yep okay, fair enough!

I have a very similar mindset, but, man, mortgages hurt. At least when paying rent the money goes towards a real person. With a mortgage such a big chunk of the payment is the interest that just goes to this faceless entity that is the bank

That sounds awesome! The oddest trees I have come across had big thorns like roses all over the trunk. Kind of hard to see because the trunk is so big, but you'd very quickly notice leaning against it. That was in a botanical garden in

Consider me amazed! I would have thought it's something people pick up naturally by virtue of spending hours every day working with a keyboard. I wouldn't link it to competency as a dev.

Hah, this so much. For me it's worth the money for the family plan just to not be exposed to ads playing on family members' devices.

by climb_stealth 1y ago
Sure, then stop paying for it when they start showing ads in premium. It's a monthly subscription. Not paying for it because it might become bad some time in the future is not a great argument.

Yep, fair enough. You are right, funnily enough it's small businesses who are the worst with this. The big ones spam a lot if you let them, but they do tend to respect the unsubscribe. In these cases they get a dedicated email rule and

Not much of a secret, but clicking the unsubscribe links in emails helps. Anything new I sign up to I'm pretty religious about it. Some new email I didn't ask for -> instant unsubscribe. Works way better than one might expect.

For me part of it is supporting a project that is worth getting behind. I like that someone goes against the big ad-supported players in a field where it would seem impossible. Features like boosting the niche forums I browse for search res

Just want to say that I appreciate you sharing all that and being open about it. As someone who has mostly ignored the AI progression it is interesting to see. And a bit bewildering.

Agreed. After 4 hours of meetings I'd mentally dead for at least the day, and there is no way there'd be any productive work left.

It's funny/sad how even firefox is making it worse now. I tend to browse youtube in firefox because the youtube app is such a pain, and doesn't have tabs and other niceties. And then only view individual videos in the app bec

Part of the problem might be that no one wants to pay anymore. I'm happy to pay for a course, but there is not a single in-person language course in my city left for the language I wanted to study. I booked the the single remaining one

Looking at you, Duolingo. Turning off notifications in the app results in constant nagging afterwards. From a user perspective it completely defeats the point of the setting.

Now I wonder if English speaking people think of it as a literal table top. I always thought it stands on its own.
47.
by climb_stealth 2y ago
It helps to sort the results by date rather than relevance. Relevance is the default and the results are all over the place and it does indeed feel utterly broken :)

I think it's a sign of the times that it is not as obviously recognisable as sarcasm anymore :/

by climb_stealth 2y ago
Hah! I fondly remember some Linux distro that had the Desktop translated to a literal table top. Translating without context must be really tough. Especially with a language like English that is utterly ambiguous.

You may be right there. Will have a think about it. Maybe a filter to flag things and update as needed.

The problem is that it only takes one entity to leak the real email. All my spam comes on my real email despite using aliases for years. I need to retire my real email address, but it'a bit tricky because I also used it for important t

Just want to add that I both agree with you and parent. Your examples are readable and I see no issues there. It might be a language thing as well. In Python often people take list-comprehensions too far and it becomes an undecipherable mes

Does this support Japanese? They list a table of language comparisons againat other approaches but I can't tell if it is exhaustive. I'm hoping that something like this will be able to handle 3000-page Japanese car workshop manual

Personally I really don't like the whole downloading-but-not-seeding approach. The whole point of p2p networks is to receive and to give and spread. Back in the day it was the leecher clients that got banned because they were amoral an

I guess. In this case maybe normal people that are priviledged enough to consider emigrating. What I meant is people with real and constructive professions. That happen to be affected by federal decisions. I'm saying that with a bit of

N = 1, but I have friends in the US who lost their job because of the recent budget or grant cuts or whatever it was. They are very much non-tech normal people and considering options to emigrate. So yes, there are real people being affecte

Not sure, but I wouldn't think so. They'd basically spring out of the elevator with no hesitation.

Hah, I thought you meant a literal cat. Our dogs do that. There's a building we used to go up with six elevators. Three on each side of the hallway facing each other. Without hesitation the dogs will pick the correct direction to go co

Bit of a misleading headline. They were already spending $83B last year and are just increasing to $100B. Still an unimaginable amount of money to be throwing around I guess.

Haha this is so true. I stopped upgrading neovim when something little broke and I couldn't work out how to fix it an hour or so. It was something stupid like the column bar not having the right colour anymore. Just hope that nothing b
