I think you are reading something into my post that isn't there. You surely do not believe I am arguing that Python is a shell language without tradeoffs. Of the languages listed in GP, only Python and JavaScript are scripting language

One of these are not like the other. Python is perfectly serviceable as a shell, to the extent that one could largely replace bash with the Python REPL if they wanted.

My issue with the iPad is that it just does not have the fine-fidelity or response time of real ink, and it's not something that never fails. It's so frustrating to be so pregnant with an idea, to open ones iPad, and to find out t

For me, I scrolled, clicked, but the page hijacked my screen, moved its position by force, and I was not certain which pane I was on immediately. It broke my sense of continuity. I am only being literal when I say this, but as someone who i

FWIW I haven't had bad experiences on the Godot subreddit, but I haven't tried in three years since the API change. And AI seems laughably bad at Godot for any non-trivial questions, and for those trivial questions, it's bett

I have had questions edited and closed and I have also been reticent to ask questions just from my own personal experience.

I think so too, but many people have many oppositions to AI and would prefer knowledge to be in the hands of knowledgeable community, rather than AI companies. SO was poised to be this alternative, but leadership showed they did not see val

The graph is not presenting a narrative, did you mean to reply to someone else who is presenting the "revisionist history"? In 2023, Stack Overflow had already started making unpopular pro-AI moderation decisions, and in 2024, the

Any social organization needs to carefully consider their inclusion-exclusion curve with intentionality. I think a lot of people might balk at the word "inclusivity" today, but StackExchange had ridiculously high barriers to parti

With animations and transitions disabled, the OnePlus 3 is much faster to navigate through and do the same tasks than an iPhone 16 Pro. And I suspect the touchscreen digitizer is doing less hysteresis / debouncing / 'smart&#x

The OnePlus 3 was my first proper smartphone and the best phone I ever used. Running Lineage, it's faster and more responsive, even today, than a $1000 iPhone from 2024. The quality was amazing. It's a shame to have seen their slo

Ah, that's fair. I think I saw the [dead] and [flagged] and assumed you might have personally pulled a lever behind-the-scenes for that, but that was not a fair assumption of mine. I hope I don't come off as argumentative, but I d

You're right, it is confusing. I wrote a whole comment and deleted it because I thought I knew what it was. Pico-8 is a fantasy console, and Picotron is a workstation for that console. Voxatron is a (1) fantasy console and (2) a collec

For what it's worth, this doesn't read as "snark" to me. There _are_ many direct critiques in this thread about X being caught uploading users home directories, and some are clearly snark. I understand that you read this

TUI is a lot better for me, and I have preferred it since the 00s, before LLM products were even a thing. For all the reasons there can be, one big reason is that it works on anything you can get a terminal on, you can use it over SSH, and

Also worth pointing out that it is not an ad hominen. Ad hominen is when you attack someone who is making an argument, instead of an argument. "You are flawed, which means your argument is flawed", but that does not follow. If you

This is clearly a good-faith criticism and there is no lens in which I could see it described as bad-faith. We see this pattern all the time: Someone makes a criticism of a Musk product, and someone assails that criticism with bad-faith acc

Reading ToS and PP is easy and useful and you will find that not all are the some. Some PP are short and very easy to consume, and those are the best. And some ToS are free from arbitration clauses which (in the US) preclude most litigation

I recently argued with someone in their 60s who argued, in total sincerity, that nobody should ever need to read or write more than 500 words at a time. I asked about Terms of Service agreements, hospital paperwork, etc, and she insisted th

This is a nit-pick, and I agree with the long arc of this article. (And it is very well-written, to boot). But, on this phenomenon, > Last year’s top-selling novel was Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest in the Hunger Games young-adult se

Absolutely, the first versions until idTech 5 were open source and a number of important engines, like Source, derive from it. Wikipedia actually has a family tree that's broader than I remembered: https://upload.wikimedia.o

Just anecdotally, I think the typical Costco trip is alongside trips someone would have taken already. Go to work, take a 5 minute detour to stop by Costco for your prescriptions, gas, and groceries on the way back

Those individual trips to the store are typically for more than single items, and are often incorporated into trips one would have taken anyways as part of the doing of errands.

I believe you, but our personal experiences are simply the opposite here. I do see X links occasionally but Instagram, BlueSky, and even Tumblr seem dominant. (Often with some presence on at least one of Patreon, Substack, Cara, or Kofi).
