If you look at the code linked to for the OoT decomplication, it's centralized in a single file everyone would be committing to https://github.com/zeldaret/oot/blob/4d2bc68bacdff06261f7a89...

People have been clowning on Apple for being behind on the AI stuff and -- while I'd never defend how they promised a bunch of features in 2024, showed them in ads, and sold iPhones based on vaporware, but still haven't shipped mo

Were people doing that other option? The idea of committing a video to your repository for a PR seems silly. Every PR adds a new video to the codebase? Do you make a PR to prune them every once in a while?

You can frequently do that in English too. Of course there are exceptions, but if anything it's typically because of words/names from other languages. In my experience learning Spanish, their loan words are Spanish-ized, being mad

If anything, I'd guess that when speaking English as second language, harder than knowing the accents on words would just be keeping track of all the exceptions in pronunciation between words that you basically just have to memorize. T

I think that's underselling the west's post-WW2 influence and the amount of innovation that was fueled by a booming capitalist society that the entire world wanted to take part in. I'd say English's simple, non-accented

What's funny is most of that bad PR the Xbox One got leading up to its launch with anti-consumer practices are more or less standard now because everyone basically just forgot that video games didn't used to require online connect

Yes, I have years of experience with both and macOS is way less of a user-hostile experience. People buy Apple products because they like them.

LLMs help me at work writing one-off scripts where I can verify they're behaving correctly. Or I'll give it a few lines of code where I don't like how they read and ask it if there's a cleaner way to write it, i.e. if th

Microsoft is long past the point of realizing they don't need to make their product good to keep users. Everyone who uses Windows is stuck using it because of software lock-in, or it's what's on the laptop their job provides,

The most evil thing a tech company has done is make a proprietary messaging app? Apple didn't make SMS bad, it just was. Apple has since implemented RCS and it hasn't changed how I communicate with people from my iPhone at all. Go

Oh yeah, one time I uploaded a couple of files to figure out an issue I was having, and it offered to rewrite the files to fix the issue. It created a download of just one Java file, that was just an empty class with the same name, no metho

Yeah I'm not sure why they'd think my point was that LLMs are useless. Clearly I'm integrating them into my work, I just think Copilot is the dumbest. It's given me the most nonsensical answers like the example I provide

You can't possibly argue that a terminal is easier to use than a GUI. It's literally what brought computing into the mainstream, so you can click options that are presented to you rather than memorize a bunch of incantations.
