Good for you, but it's still optional for the right crowd. More specifically, you don't have to. Users can connect to your gaming group with zero friction. Not even signup! (at least, back in the day, i'm unsure what it&#x

But even if you gave me a free mumble service, it still wouldn't be comparable to Discord - at least when i was using Discord. The price wasn't the issue (imo), it was simply the user experience. It had the best, by leagues. Users

I disagree (to a degree) . Everyone i know kicked and screamed about switching from Vent/Teamspeak/Mumble. I feel like it eventually dominated not because it was easy to dump existing solutions, but because existing solutions wer

It is and it isn't. I imagine your humor implies that technical people are using Mastadon, ie the same type that would be using HN, but the reality is that while that is true, Twitter "rejects" are also using Mastadon. Someti

Is that really preventative care though? Why would I take pills for high blood pressure, if I don't have high blood pressure already? I thought preventative care was care that is, well, in prevention of the problem. Ie, checkups and re

Even more than that; I left Google (as a user, never employee) because I was scared of being banned. Seeing stories of users on Amazon / Google getting their account banned due to something related to a business concern, made me real

Go is my daily driver. With that said, I love Rust. I even tried to switch my team to Rust for a short while, and used it as my main personal language for ~8Mo or so. My decisions to stick with Go were mainly the following: 1. For work, m

For me, the biggest thing in logging these days is being able to remove performance impact of logs lower than the level threshold. How does this library compare? Currently I'm using Zerolog, which has a nice compromise of UX, performan

Interestingly, I wouldn't use it for that (if at all), because it doesn't actually pass the time at all. You still live the time, experiencing it in full. Ie, a boring day would still be a boring day. On the flip side, a drug that

What's the `err` being returned here? I didn't think JavaScript was big on error returning, as might typically be used by a `returnif` keyword. This, funny enough, reminds me of Go. We've been having debates about how to impr

I'm surprised it's even legal honestly. I see so many horror stories. Worse yet, they're so unpredictable. Not just "it hurt my liver", they're what you described. Zombies in real life. Crazy.

Well yea, that's what I said. If WASM shared libs works, then we can cache runtimes, that's why I said it's the best solution. However shipping runtimes with user code, means it's basically not cache-able in a generic, m

by notheguyouthink 8y ago
Yes.. sort of. For that scenario, we need a lot of things in place that are down the road for WASM. Technically it would work today, but you'd have to ship a Python runtime with every "app". That's a lot of overhead, so

Alcohol: Basically none. Currently I might average 1 beer every 3 months or so. In the past I have enjoyed a nightly relaxation beer, but found it more costly than I cared about, so I cut it. Coffee: 3-4 cups a day. Typically 2-3 in the mor

What part is more complicated? Ie, is it the editing process is imprecise? Perhaps the editing process is like using sed (as mentioned by other people) ? In simple terms, at least.

Interesting. We ordered one from Amazon, I think a 50inch, and it was put on our front doorstep in the tv box. It was undamaged thankfully, but it looked like a normal Fedex(or w/e) driver, not a special delivery at all.

Yea, I wasn't disagreeing with your logic.. I guess I was saying that, it doesn't matter (not trying to be insulting lol) . Ie, in a purely technical sense corporations shouldn't want any laws/regulations. But that&#x27

While your statement of "of course they are not happy with it" is true, it's not a defense in my mind. The same could be said about any regulation that controls indefensible practices of companies. From oil companies, to fi

To each their own. I far prefer my UX at the cost of RAM. I agree, there are a lot of abstractions in languages which leads to this bloat, but do I think we'd have better user experiences if everyone write perfectly efficient assembly?

Love Dynalist for notes and todos. Two things I dislike though, 1) as far as I can tell the dates/times can't trigger notifications. 2) the paid plan is expensive.. they give so much away for free, but then charge a lot for seemin

Oh man, I can't disagree more. I loathe YAML for readability. When I'm 2 pages down on a yaml tree I have no clue how many indents exist before what I'm working on. Likewise, when I scroll up, I quickly lose track of what the
