Sorry, but this seems like just moving the goalpost.

My point is you can't. No one is logged in and active unless it's a popular night.

I'd wager 99 % of the OSS the world runs on is people that never have cared about credit or building a portfolio. What they do want, however, is to not have to spend time on the thousands of AI generated pull requests and bug reports.

Yeah, small city I grew up in there are no longer taxis. Used to be a semi full time position for 1-2 people, so any night you could get a taxi if you arrived by train or needed to get home from somewhere. Most nights operated of course on

Exactly not this. Way to straw man all counter arguments before they even got any.

To me it's the opposite. If the poster is something typed up in Word, I know the Farmer's Market is the real deal. If it's AI generated, I immediately get Temu dropshipping vibes.

But you're kinda proving my point. I don't disagree with having pride in your work and obsessing over details, but as you say, it won't matter in the end. And so, many will probably find themselves disappointed with the Duo,

No, it's based on pragmatism. Every feature is a cost/benefit tradeoff. You didn't answer the question: would it be worth it?

Thanks for the backhanded compliment, very mature.. I'm not an iOS developer, never made an app at all, I asked because I'm curious. What is it really to gain?

by matsemann 8d ago
But will you gain anything by building for it? Will you see noticeably more users or people choosing another alternative because you didn't specifically building the app for Duo? At least if it doesn't outright break.

But if you don't support HEIF you get the Apple crowd breathing down your neck. The fact they made it basically default when sooo many things don't support receiving it is bonkers, but they'll bludgeon it through.

I've never had so much stuff break than with the macOS updates. I can get some of it, like drivers or programs hooking onto OS features that change. But so much "normal" software just breaks. Or can't even run without t

I used to have a colleague that would always nod to things in meetings, and make a humming/agreeing ("mhm") sound once in a while. I used to find it a bit weird, he probably didn't even notice it himself. But then I held

I do think our consumer rights in Norway help a bit on this (the article is a page to the consumer agency here). We have 5 years mandated "warranty" on almost all purchases. Which means selling a cheap blender that breaks after tw

I've never found it that useful to see a list of numbers of sizes. I can't visualize them quickly, and in the end the exact pixels doesn't matter, it's the various ratios. I made this ~15 years ago. Took all the common p

Well, that's almost a tautology. People claim Y2K or ozone was a panic and that nothing happened. But nothing happened exactly because the force behind the panic also fixed the issues.

I don't need an audit log for my audio. What I do need however is to remove something so it doesn't influence the algorithm. I may not remember every time I play music for a kid to turn on the right mode.

This feels very analogous to the three doors puzzle.

In my country, many laws state that the consumer (or "weak" part) can not sign away their rights, any contract with stipulations regarding that would void that clause. Feel like that should be the norm. Shouldn't be able to l

I've never studied any openings and still have loads of fun with chess. I think you have to be IM level or something to not immediately go out theory. It can be a bit fun, sometime, to play someone that has studied an opening at my lev

You just try it yourself and go down the different lines. "Okay, Stockfish suggests this, but I wanted to do that, let's try my idea, oh, I didn't think of that response to my move". Etc., play along some lines, think ab

Yeah, I get your point, I jusr don't think the solution is to police pedestrians. I'll stop wearing noise canceling headphones in the city the day cars stop being loud, and when the drivers of those cars drive with no music and th

Connection type means the sound quality drops significantly when headphones are used for speaking, though. Maybe don't notice as much in normal calls / only speech, but using Bluetooth when gaming and some kinda of voice chat make

by matsemann 17d ago
People drive cars every day, isolated in a box with windows rolled up, playing music or radio, not being able to hear what's going on around them. So I don't buy the safety argument of noise canceling headphones being dangerous.

Disagree on it looking great. It doesn't look like an Apple product. It looks geeky and clumsy. Which I personally don't mind, but absolutely not the sleek one is used to from Apple.

There are several graphing libraries that have been businesses for years. Like Highcharts. A frontend framework used by millions and millions certainly has some value to loads of people.

Yeah, I don't mind using AI to help me at work, but having to "talk" with this stupid crap all day will send me to an early pension or something. Can't be healthy in the long run.

Why? I've never understood the sentiment that if you stand up for something you have to forego everything and not partake in society. "Oh, you want to stop climate change? But I saw you breathe co2 yesterday"

Non-example 3 feels like a straw man. This is a force behind possibly a huge change to society, and you dismiss it offhandedly with "don't think it will be widespread starvation". For instance have you seen what this has done
