Before Lyft and Uber, back in 2007-08 I worked for a DD startup called Zingo. Their pitch was you find yourself hammered at a bar with you car outside. Call Zingo, we dispatch a driver on a foldable two-stroke scooter. Pop it in the trunk,

Exactly. Once they turned the page into JS framework soup instead of regular HTML, the anchor links don’t work worth a damn.

This sounds like I’m “holding my phone wrong.”

Seriously. If they’re too busy making sketchy copyright decisions with their AI code generation to bother with basic usable UI, they don’t deserve to be the de facto home of open source. I’ve been giving sourcehut a try, and the simplicity

I’d settle for them making PRs as useful as they were in 2015, before they messed up some of the most basic functionality: showing the diff, and showing review comments. They hide big diffs behind a “load more” link, and as a result people

The West must really have a stranglehold on the message, because I've searched and searched for that complete quote, and the only result that comes up is this very comment that you've made.[1] > "Chinese people don’t attac

Well, I hope you're right, and as soon as the Taiwanese figure out that they've been brainwashed by US propaganda, they'll surely hold an independence referendum on the next election and China will congratulate them on their

Xi has said over and over that if his ends can’t be achieved peacefully he will use force to unify Taiwan with China. He’s said that Taiwan independence is a red line for invasion. I’m having a hard time believing that you’re arguing in goo

One country can’t just unilaterally give itself a legal right to invade another. That’s just their policy.

I consider the threat of violence to be violence, so I'm with you, China commits aggressive offenses against Taiwan by threatening anexation. But, a significant nit I have to pick is that China doesn't violate Taiwanese airspace.

To be fair, they don't violate Taiwanese airspace. They enter Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone, and Taiwan scrambles jets in preperation to intercept if they violate airspace. But they have periodically threatened to do a

Are we limited to actions they have successfully carried out, or just those they threaten to? Are you implying that it’s Western/Taiwanese propaganda that China is willing to forcibly unify Taiwan and that in fact China would never con

What you're describing is called "context collapse." Pre-social media you had face that you presented in different contexts, now you have one flattened out "you" feed.

This kind of stat boggles the mind. How are they one of the top ~3 formidable military powers in the world while being no richer than Spain?

Not just lack of updates. It’s also a vector for distributing exploits. Encouraging piracy while the country is under intense cyber attack seems like a risky move.

But from law enforcement perspective you may be distributing encrypted bits of CSAM to people that have a private key for it.

What do you mean? Canada is a NATO member. This is talking about commercial traffic. If Canada’s airspace was violated by military it would probably trigger article 5.

I read your strategy doc, and it doesn't change anything I said. Front and center is your commitment to developer experience, which is great, but what seems woefully absent is consideration for the end-user. I'm sure that you&#x27

I think to say that its entire existence is a conspiracy to replace the web is a bit much, and I'm sure that the engineers creating it have good intentions. But that doesn't mean Google, the business, doesn't see the value to

I'm on a Framework running Arch with a 165 Hz external monitor, using Firefox, and it feels sluggish to me. It's usable, but feels like the performance I'd expect from a website. For example, grabbing a window and thrashing i

Sounds like it. I’ve used dating apps a lot, and at this point I don’t believe that another dating app is the solution to dating apps. I’ve heard friends and acquaintances toss out their ideas for how to make a better app, but they all seem

I’ve got a concrete example because I just recently used numba to speed up some code. I’m working on a stereo camera object triangulation and tracking system. We wanted to make triangulation faster so I profiled the code and found a few hot

Subverting user’s intentions by doing things like resetting the default browser on every update, or forcing you into their App Store ecosystem by making it like pulling teeth to download an app from the internet and run it.

You’re not alone. Using i3 allows me to work on muscle memory without going through an observe-interpret-respond loop with every move. It really is a shame that animated transitions in macOS are non-optional. Who decided that transitions he
