What is hue zero? That’s green right? Because green is such a common color? Or maybe it’s blue.

No no. You see we need to get rid of conventional commits so AI can make commits easier.

I am going to put in a plug for “Which” a command tab replacement that lets you, among other things, cycle between windows like alt-tab.

Bingo. That is a far more eloquent way to express my word salad.

When I was a child, I lived in a neighborhood. Every week a garbage truck picked up the house hold trash. 5 guys were on that truck. 1 driver and 4 guys that actually lifted up various shaped trash cans and dumped them into the truck. Today

If we understand how a system “emulates” consciousness then we declare it an emulation. If we don’t quite understand how a system exhibits consciousness then we can say it might be conscious. Basically, we need to leave room for the univers

No one who learned how to correctly type. The “correct way” is garbage. Maybe useful for reaching 300 WPM. But not useful for having usable wrists. As a coder, the “correct way“ isn’t all that useful anyway.

There are a lot of ads where you are “empowered” to choose between provided choices. “Manage your privacy your way! Simply sign in to choose what is right for you!” Nah, I am going to use something else.

I want to use full screen apps. But they are not in the command-tab order. So… no good.

But it does give us an idea to chew over. And we can determine how “real world” that idea is. Some of us can even see how to bend the idea a little and make a reasonable version of it “real”.

That is a lot of misdirection that doesn’t address the main point of the of OC. This fancy new device still runs windows. And that is a non starter from many people.

Yes. Yes it does. Eliza is a known AI. You choose to expose yourself to its output. You are 100% culpable for your actions that sprang from your interactions.

Are you the best choice to engineer everything your system does? There is no one in your company that might do a better job than you for a specific part of the system? There is nothing wrong with asking for help or bouncing ideas of people

The gas engine Farraris are a pinnacle of design for an engine, gas tank, drive train, and human occupant. It would have been trivial for Ferrari to just make their classic style but now, electric! And it would have been full of compromise.

You’ve already chosen to go lossy. You can’t trust any pixel in the image to be true.

I never liked it either. Panning by swiping feels so natural. That it breaks on a trackpad feels like a major oversight.

Lol. No. I am partly named after the doctor in the song Comfortably Numb.

by drfloyd51 5mo ago
It’s not an either-or situation. A doctor is a human and has a job and a family. I don’t expect my doctor to be spending every second researching everything related to all his patients. There simply isn’t enough time to know everything. If

He was running at the same time our cops were chasing people. Bring him in.

I wouldn’t call this a problem. This is the dildo of consequences.

How does it seem like the ad was superfluous? The ad triggered a series of events that helped my friend. The doctor, for whatever reason, was not the primary motivation.

I saw an add for a medicine that was new on the market and my friend who could use the meds, was unaware of its existence. Now, after a doctor’s involvement, my friend is on the new med and it treats their condition better and the quality o

Shoot. I didn’t think of the TSA. And wow… just even the cops. I am more worried about “lawful” “government” “agencies” stealing my crap than actual criminals. And that makes me sad.

A small notebook. Unhackable. Yours forever. Use words based passwords to make entry easier. Suffers from physical presence security hacks. I argue those are far less frequent than online hacks. Wouldn’t recommend for people who are comfort

> and then we get to sunk costs: what if I put in 1 month and am only 1 day from the fix, should I quit now? This is the wrong question. But one often asked because of the sunk cost fallacy. The real question is: what if I am only 1 day
