It will have to use a disassembler, or write one. I recently casually asked gpt-5.4 to translate the content of a MIDI file to a custom sound programming language. It just wrote a one-shot MIDI parser in Python, grabbed the data, and basi

It is not about understanding, it is about not even trying to and just telling a complete stranger how you think they have it bad. That is, as you identified, a break of boundaries. And, frankly, if someone breaks into your house, you are

It would break the feeling of superiority of people without that disability. Fact. So they can't believe it.

A similar statistic applies to many disabilities. If you give people a few years of time, after they acquired a disability, studies show their happiness isn't substantially different from a person without a disability. Grief comes fr

I have yet to find a social network which is actually accessible. The Google thing (circles?) was never actually useable, it was the biggest horror show of all. m.facebook.com was basically the only website that was ever really accessible

Well said. This is how I feel about Bluesky. I've read so many exaggregations from bsky users that I would definitely not want to join that sort of echo chamber. Better leave the extremists alone.

Its not just in tech circles. It really started around 2020 with C. "Everyone needs to agree this time" extremely backfired and ruined our ability to discuss things.

I know it’s an idiom. The point is that it still uses blindness as a stand-in for incompetence/unsafe guessing . Being common doesn’t make it harmless. Common just means we’ve normalized it. And you defending it shows that weve no

Using ‘blind’ to mean ‘ignorant’ is like using any disability label as a synonym for ‘bad’—it turns a real condition into an insult.

Nope, I would never justify outright murder. I don't even support capital punishment. I might be able to develop an understanding for the circumstances, but that doesn't mean I would say "Hey, that instance of lynchmob just

Supposedly having no agency and being opressed seems to be the universal narrative, even with groups that are not even a minority. It gets worse with real minorities. But I know an increasing number of women who are fed up with this victi

So, you haven't thought about it yet? Your counterquestion is insufficient to get any further, because "use" is a very relative term. If I can "use" a smartphone depends on the way you code your app. If you use i

What you forget is, none of the x+100 people you are talking about would have ever become a x+100 person if they thought like you suggest they should. In german, we have a proverb: "Von den Reichen lernt man das sparen." (The ric

The "sed" expressions that power the title "cleanup" here do overshoot quite often. It ruins --long-command-arguments and it definitely also reuins cpp::namespaces. Quite curious why these obvious shortcomings are not

I am not sure the author realizes that Wikimedia fundraising is indeed controversial, given that we know how much money they already have. Same applies to Mozilla. But maybe they have their own bubble and are focused on negative reactions
