I probably only use 1 % of Astro's features, but I like how it's enabled me to build static sides as back in the days, but with a build pipeline. So I can use components, reuse stuff, include stuff etc, basically what I would do w

Yeah, yeah, people say that all the time. But it's not the dash itself, it's how it's so stiff and obviously not written by a human. "No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI." and other bullshit. Why should I waste

About (2), it reminds me of a video I saw once of someone trying to take a picture at a sport event, or how my parents try to do it. Hold the phone with an awkward grip to point it towards what you want, with one hand free. Accidentally tou

No, tapping something visible and seeing what happens is discoverable. And Apple used to have skeuomorphism to help with affordance. Swiping from various directions and other hidden shortcuts aren't discoverable, and my guess is most u

Yeah, for a decade now it's been a UX disaster. It "works", because so many people are used to it, but look at a new user trying to navigate iOS, it's bonkers. Swiping from random directions achieves different things (an

I tried the same on images of disks in my back. The ai picked a slice not from the middle and used that to say they were too small (since it was looking at a slice towards the edge) and basically told me my life was over and my pain would l

No, I know for a fact the cause where I live is the climate, they can now survive where they earlier couldn't. Sure, there may be other reasons other places, but that wasn't what I wrote. I wrote about my town. Why that is so hard

There's a difference between "I didn't like their salad" (opinion) and "they don't pay their bills" (a fact, that could be defamation if not true)

It's a fact, though. You got too hung up on altitude, which I guess is just a proxy for temperature when I compare to neighboring towns. Been mentioned on the news etc that more and more towns get disease bearing ticks here, due to con

by matsemann 3mo ago
No ticks at the altitude I reside. But with global warming it's slowly creeping up towards the towns further down. Same with Spanish slugs. Will soon be able to thrive here as well.

> If anyone feels negative, I recommend seeing a psychologist. Telling everyone that disagrees with you to see a psychologist is certainly something. The delusions of grandeur may make your statement quite ironic, heh.

Because it could be strategically good to increase their market share and loyalty when everyone else is increasing their prices, for instance? But no, the "fiduciary duty" thing trumps everything, I guess.

Even with plain ASCII we sometime struggle with the various scanners, as they emulate keyboards. So for instance using : in the barcode as a separator of values becomes wonky if the OS has a different input language than expected.

I've never even used it and still I read every changelog posted here. So interesting and good writeups.

My Elm code base was virtually bug free. My current python code base is riddled with small bugs. Some designs makes it easy to trust your code. Some make it die by a thousand paper cuts. Big llm rewrites I fear lead to the latter.

Something similar happened recently in Norway. A tourist was found severely cold in the mountains, in a storm where extracting him took hours. After a while hypothermia got to him, his heart stopped, and only 8 hours later they got it start

What a weird argument, sorry. You're positing that those working in science aren't doing it for your decided "correct" reasons. Does this go for other industries as well? We should fire all bus drivers that aren't i

Just do as DOGE/Musk: ctrl+f for "diversity" and deny all grants. Even if it had nothing to do with "woke", for instance diversity in bacteria cultures or whatever...

I wonder what discoveries that could've helped people are now pushed back years if not decades.

Cursor is mostly no longer an editor. By default it now opens an agent window only, you have to click a few buttons to actually edit files yourself.

That wasn't my point, really. But that they chastise Mozilla leadership without offering any other alternative direction than "keeping doing as in 2009".

Again: Would it have made a measurable difference? Or is it just moaning from a small core? Not saying the core is not important, but I don't think Fx can survive on only us.

Interesting to read, but ultimately it's very easy to blame "leaders" for everything and I'm not sure it has much merit. It's popular to pile on them and their decisions. But I don't think it's as obvious

Yeah, I guess it's not being a native English speaker, so one just accept most of the words almost as names without thinking about any other meaning the word might have.

by matsemann 4mo ago
Huh, I've never even considered that those words had anything to do with beer. I've just accepted them at face value, same as any other tech jargon.

The point is that just telling every maintainer "The security of all our computers rely on you. You are free to tell people to maintain their own fork. Good luck!" isn't something that will meaningfully change anything. I nev

I don't really think it's actionable. It's like all those campaigns trying to steer behavior, pretty useless. Don't do drugs. Don't speed. Don't drink and drive. You can't just tell people something and ex

> Tankie is a pejorative term used to describe hard-line, authoritarian communists or Marxists-Leninists. For others not used to this term. Quite a weird accusation, Pay08.

One thing I've seen a bit in Norway, and which is relevant this month, is opinion pieces by "concerned parents" that get their writing into national news, but a quick search show that they're often head of some bigoted o
