Time to hug my Windows 11 24H2 ISO I guess?

I really hate that it was brought up as a bullet point at all. Like who fucking cares, why is this guy bringing up that boogieman.

Is this not an overreaction to the rubygems rubycentral fiasco?

I've been using (2) for probably 15+ years, combined with tagging it has been great for consolidating multiple email boxes into one feed. That said you can get the same thing by setting up an auto-forwarder to your gmail box.

OF COURSE the good stuff is proprietary....

I could say the same about the AI-assisted autocomplete in IDEA. Wonder how they compare...

A lot of early-reading children's books embed pictures in the sentences. It helps kids learn the meaning of words or something.

Can we pleeeeeeease stop putting emoji in the middle or end of sentences like this was a 6-year-old's training reader? Any time I see a sentence end in that strong-arm emoji my douchebag-o-meter goes way way up.

It isn't always a job. Sometimes it's just tinkering. Sometimes it's grandma trying to make sense of the Ubuntu linux install her grandson just replaced an old virus-laden version of windows with. Or the unfortunate retail wo

Very senior teachers and educators have been noting this observation for a decade-plus now. Computer literacy has tanked.

My guess is that at some the code itself, in a language humans easily comprehend, will become superficial as we delegate more and more of the logic to AI development. Perhaps in the near future AIs will be writing things at a much lower lev

There will still be plenty of seniors, they will be in the 40s and 50s. The problem you speak of is much further out, once those seniors retire.

I don't think you fully understood my comment. > Man pages are fine. Just press '/' to search by string or regex, and 'n' for next match. They are also consistent: if you want a particular section, you s

Is it though? Voice consumes so much less sonic bandwidth than music. I imagine the codec places extra emphasis on faithfully reproducing voices, since our brains are so wired to perceive them. A 256kbps spoken word recording is going to be

While I think man pages are perfectly fine as documentation, the terminal interface for accessing them is awful (more mysterious keypresses or incantations to memorize if you want to do anything more than scroll), and visually I have alwa

As a fellow dev, command line shit is a pain in the ass sometimes. I grew up as a Windows kid, visual browsing for stuff is sometimes the only way to fly. I absolutely loathe the amount of brute-force memorization that is required to operat

What if you forgot the name of the app? What if you rely on groupings to remember what you have installed for a given activity? What if you want a quick visual overview of what is available to you? What if you like or even prefer launchpad?

256kbit CBR MP3 is pretty good for spoken word material

Nice to see direct links to MP3 files. More websites should follow that example.

"Innovation" has been React reinventing itself, what, three or four times now? I am so sick of "innovation". How about we innovate a solid baseline, establish an orthodoxy, and build on top of that. Oh wait, we already d

This looks like a little bit more than a blur, there seem to be some refraction and some other optical-type effects. But realistically its just a blur with marketing.

Why would it handle any differently than a trackpad? Most non-multitouch touchscreen devices emulate a mouse if there is not a more specific driver available. Trackpads were widely available on laptops at the time and you could jump to any
