I don't necessarily agree with your thrift store take, I understand making a great personalised ide with vim or emacs. But I do agree with you that all the other points make no sense. VSCode doesn't solve your merges for you any m

VSCode doesn't heavily rely on the file explorer, that is personal preference. I use its jump to file far more than the explorer, both by filename, by reference jump and by "dumb" jump, a plugin that does simple reference jum

Their attrition might be slow, but it's not that expensive. What is expensive are the aircraft/ships/missiles that Europe has too few of that they hope to stop a Russian invasion with if it came to it.

The global population is not dwindling yet. At the current derivative of birth rate it'll keep keep growing for 50 years. Of course many places will experience a demographic crisis well before the global population falls.

I... didn't really understand most of what you wrote in context of my post. Yes, if I were single I'd probably go for a city. My wife hasn't had a job since we had kids when I was 25, and I think we're in a much better f

Or just stop watching. I seem to be out of tune with what people want in a TV show nowadays, I don't find much enjoyable. I accept there was never that much, but given how much content is produced now I would have expected more in my

And servo: I wish that one would get more mention as it's quite far along. Having multiple competing browsers again that are not controlled by megacorps would be great. Ladybird for browsing, Servo for embedding.

Plenty of things do work better as a native application. Packaging is a pain across the board nowadays. Apple is pretty good, you pay a yearly fee if you want your executable signed and notorized, but they make it very hard to run without t

I'm puzzled by your reply because it starts out by refuting that software is constrained by physics "Except it kind of does" and then immediately gives an example of it being constrained by physics "until we run out of s

The BYD cars are starting to look quite nice too. I saw one the other day that must have been a Seal and thought "that's a cool looking car what is it? huh a BYD"

Yes that makes more sense. I would take the same approach.

You can scale it within the bounds of the physical hardware it is running on. And as you scale it you start running into all the problems brought about by distributed systems, problems which very much stem from physics.

As far as I can find, in the US and the UK, conditions of entry to a business are considered an implied license and not an implied contract because there's no mutual intent to form a binding legal agreement. A business can revoke the l

It's not piracy. You might have a problem with it ethically. But you're not breaking copyright laws by blocking ads. Another way to look at it is additive rather than subtractive. If I visit a site with a text only browser that ca

Software doesn't operate in some magical realm outside of the physical world. It very much is constrained by real world limitations. It runs on the hardware that itself is limited. I wonder if some failures are a result of thinking it

The problem with that is that it would require a huge amount of coordination for it to be by design. I think it's better to look on it as systemic. Which isn't to say there aren't malign forces contributing.

I don't really see why you should support that. In your case your wife is not closeted and living a lie, everything is out in the open. So deciding to change you for someone else, regardless of sex, is no different than if I decided to
