I read "cancer" in between the lines of that comment. So the characterization of (potentially) that backdrop as "a bit of personal harm" feels wildly overassuming.

I feel there's space for brainstorming and creating new ways of making web apps without having to take a stand against the status quo. It's a fun thought exercise, naming all the things you think are wrong with the web, but I had

I am not arguing that. You called a viewpoint that I share "utter nonsense". So I presented a counterpoint. A counterpoint to your opinion is neither a troll nor an attack on the original author's intent and/or character

As a parent of a toddler, could not disagree more. This article can be read two different ways. A parent making an app for their own children is wholesome and making a list of UX finds is helpful to other parents in that position. At the sa

My boss posts GPT output as gospel in chats and task descriptions. So now instead of being a "you figure it out" it's "read this LLM generated garbage and then figure it out".

This guy ports open source games to mobile devices and sells them under their original names. (Selling is okay, misrepresenting them as the official version is not.)

Linux gamers from the Linux Game Tome days might enjoy learning that we ported Neverball to the browser (mobile, too) some years ago. https://play.neverball.org/

I often use the Reddit "explain like I'm five" prompt to learn new concepts with good results.

It is not gender-specific for sure, but it is also not imaginary. It's depression caused by lack of face-to-face socializing and internet-fueled escapism. When you're in that, you can't really get out by yourself. Finding a s

Have had a similar experience as the upstream of a free game. They also sometimes forwarded those bugs to us.

That's very funny. My first guess would have been the womb. Probably the safest environment most of us have ever been in.

Why do you find it shocking and disturbing? If you go to the doctor, the average process of diagnosis and treatment is much like printf debugging - just sprinkle some based on instinct and run it again. We're surrounded by technologica

Kids' school "teaches" it, meaning the kids have to memorize where to click to do X in various Microsoft products. So you're stuck with Microsoft if you want decent grades for your child.

I've released an album via Distrokid which distributes the release to YouTube as well. You can look at detailed reports there. Youtube revenue is split into Ads, ContentID and Red (which I believe is the old name for Youtube Premium).

In my experience the biggest roadblock to continuous conversation is context length. It fills up and the LLM starts forgetting parts of the conversation. Most tools don't even tell you that this has happened. But if you keep that in mi

At least on macOS you don't even need to add to /etc/hosts, just use .localhost as the TLD.

It's not manufactured. The people affected were social media influencers who used affiliate links. So the incident affected a very small and specific segment of society that incidentally could broadcast this to a lot of people.

This is a funny comment. If this doesn't force Putin to the negotiation table, then you know what will - the US stopping all military aid to Ukraine. One of these things that US has done to Ukraine is bound to convince Putin, right?

I used to buy a pack of cashew nuts every day during lunchtime. One day I realized my jaw has started making a clicking sound and the muscle feels kinda loose. That was ten years ago; it's gotten somewhat better and I also learned to a

Writing it down is the part where you process it. I've found that if I don't have a need to revisit or continue what I've written down, I am done with it.

I am in the EU. I opted out of targeted ads a while back when the Facebook app asked me about it and it is now showing me inline ads with a timer. I literally have to wait before I can continue doomscrolling which is just enough time to jus

It's exercise. Use it or lose it. So when you actually need to write to express something, you're not stumbling over the process of writing.

Speed bumps are a crazy invention because they tell you what humanity is like. Let's make this road worse for driving because many drivers don't care about safety but do care about damaging their cars. I am reminded of this every
