I wish I could speak my unlock code so I didn't have to, you know, take my eyes off the road in order to play music or change my GPS destination or something like that. I'm not saying that way to solve a problem, but I refuse to b

You presume that people care about things like this. A lot of people don't.

Sort of? You want the thing to exist long-term, so if they're using my monthly payment on bad business decisions then yeah I care because then it won't exist anymore, and I could have spent that money on a more responsible company

Because a lot of people want Kagi to succeed because they want to keep using the service. So people care if they make bad business decisions that might threaten their long-term success. Compare to, say, Fastmail, who won similar mindshare u

In a way, bridges are kind of agile. There are many stages of things like site selection, geological testing, architectural and engineering design decisions, computer simulations, traffic forecasting, etc. All of that happens in a feedback

> the reality of the common implementation is that planning is dispensed with. It gives some management a great excuse to look no further than the next jira ticket, if that. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never experienced this.

It also naturally tends toward oligopoly with incumbents colluding not only to set prices but also to suppress competition that might defect from the collusion.

You underestimate the power of brand recognition and the first mover advantage associated with it.

They can also suggest chat topics. Like how Reddit ads are meant to look like threads. "Frustrated with food baked on dishes? Let's chat about it! (sponsored)"

Extra convenient because people are already used to these things taking several seconds to respond.

And surely a for-profit extrajudicial court system that holds a monopoly on extrajudicial courts is going to be a fair and impartial resolver of disputes, especially when the defendant is essentially a valued repeat customer and the plaint

Because another app knows you got paid, and that information was sold to some data broker, and now McDonald's knows.

This is all fine and valid but the real problem is that binding arbitration is legal.

R is overtly and heavily inspired by Lisp which was a big deal in AI at one point. They knew what they were doing.

As far as I understand the idea behind scrum it's not that you don't plan, it's that you significantly shorten the planning-implementation-review cycle.

I'm not sure how the metadata syntax works, but you might not need it because you can do this: (html (head (title "Hello!")) (body (div (p "This is an example of a hyperlink: &qu

That's not at all what a runtime is, in any context, ever. Where else have you seen this solecism? It's new to me.

It's a measure of inequality, not poverty as such, sure. But practically it's obvious just by looking at the lives of "poor" people that, yeah, they are materially still struggling. I can't speak for Britain but I c

And what makes this different? What makes it LLM-native?

That's not winning, that's just not losing yet. What a ridiculous thing to claim.

We need more information. How does this work for internal combustion truck engines? Is the regulation well intentioned poorly designed? Is it anti-competitive gatekeeping drafted by lobbyists? Is the author misrepresenting something? All of

You are free to criticize or look down on the way other people work. That doesn't change the silliness of the assertion that infix operator brain damage is the reason we aren't all using Lisp right now. It's totally valid to

by nerdponx 11mo ago
I am responding to the assertion that the reason we don't all use Lisp is because we all have brain damage. My claim is that there are broader ergonomic issues with the language family. You could argue that maybe the system architectur

Not true at all IMO. Reading code is reading code regardless of whether you have a fancy IDE or not. S-expressions are indisputably harder to learn to read. Most languages have some flexibility in how you can format your code before it beco

by nerdponx 11mo ago
It's not about prefix notation, it's that the fully uniform syntax has legitimate ergonomic problems for editing, human reading, and static analysis. Sexprs are better for computers than for humans in a lot of ways.

The most dysfunctional aspects of public education have less to do with the education and more to do with the home lives of the children we are trying to educate. In my town, most of the cost of education is just paying teachers. The school

Windy is my favorite weather app. The forecast is usually very good and I can switch underlying models to see how much they disagree (an indication that the weather might be erratic). Plus the wind vector animation is mesmerizing and it&#x2

I don't know if this applies to RedoxOS users. As for why you might use it on Linux, it seems like it's meant to be "friendly" like Fish, but with more emphasis on scripting rather than on interactive use. It looks lik
