A video of someone scrolling through their website is a sleek looking demo ? smdh.

This is an absolutely awful attitude. All you need to do to witness lack of internet yourself is drive a couple hours' north of San Francisco. Now imagine that a huge chunk of the world is far worse off than this.

AI is many things, but deterministic with natural language it is not.

I kind of see these AI tools like a superhero's toolbelt -- great, when it's on you. But one doesn't always have the luxury of internet access. It is best not to overrely on AI, or any cloud service for that matter.

Powershell's syntax is so fucking weird and verbose. I guess if you live in Microsoft land all day and write code in C# it's fine, but I would really like it if we all could collectively agree on one set of syntax rules. I don&#x2

What about, "I don't ever seem to have any good ideas worth pursuing" and "everything I can think of doing has already been or is currently being done by people way better funded than me"?

I may not need PuTTY, but I like me a nice GUI that I can point and click with ssh command is absolutely fine, but I much prefer a list of saved presets versus ~/.ssh/config file fuckery

Indeed. I think I discovered it while wish searching for a TA where I could get up close with the models.

I didn't like Ashes of the Singularity, I really don't like the capture point game mode that it seemed to revolve around (though Dawn of War did the same thing and that didn't bother me...) Planetary Annihilation is cool too

Supreme Commander is a great start Personally, I'd also recommend Homeworld and the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series On the free-and-open-source front there is Zero-K (which I don't care for) and Beyond All Reason, both of these

I loved this feature but the game crashes if you use it with >2 monitors :(

Who cares what 'most people do'? Why are we constantly resorting to this tired refrain of "majority rules"? Have you all forgotten that niche things exist?

If there is one thing about Paint.net that I really like, it is that is has separate, simple controls for manipulating a selection independently of whatever the selection is selecting. Like you can move the marching ants around super easy.

That bridge looks like its almost entirely made of just trusses. It's hard to imagine how one might expect it not to collapse when everything holding it together is so thin.

Some of them are. Maybe half. But cables are expensive and I object to being forced to replace all of those.

Or just place foundations and build on top of that

I have a handful of USB C devices and a metric fuckton of USB A
444.
by pdntspa 3y ago
What? How many things run USB-C nowadays? USB A is still everywhere and being sold on cutting edge devices today. You say that as if the port never evolved or something.

I get that, but given a world of finite resources and attention, is software really to the point where we should be redirecting the pressure off of more egregious polluters? It's like telling people to take shorter showers in a drought

Because all that extra security makes the stack unbearable. That is why it's taken so long to converge on a solution, and yet even that still changes every few years. To say nothing of the beautiful simplicity of a device simply runnin

This seems ridiculous on its face but if it gets more people to prioritize efficient, performant code, then I'm all for it.

I think it's interesting just how far tech is up its own ass about the majority use case equalling the only use case that people care about. > It has been proven multiple times since Compuserve, AOL and MSN, that users don't wa

This was how I functioned before I intentionally dropped my tolerance down to very low levels. With a lower tolerance I can enjoy the ganj as a nightcap and have all my dreams :)
