Obviously he's an unpopular guy nowadays, but I often think about Louis CK's version of this: I'm paraphrasing, but he essentially said he didn't try to make his best performances better, he tried to make his worst perfo

Probably Go, yeah. I'm a big fan of Python and have really enjoyed learning Go.

> I wonder if there is a generally accepted quantifiable definition of programming language expressiveness. I doubt it, considering "expressive" tends to only ever describe something that's subjective.

Speaking for myself, I think iMessage is a good product, and it's one of the (many) reasons I use Apple devices as daily drivers. You make it sound like people only use iMessage because of the network effect/lock-in, and clearly

Man, what an absolute waste of engineering talent. I don't understand those in this thread celebrating the "hacker spirit." The real "hacker spirit" would be something like, I don't know, building a better alte

Perhaps it's not a rhetorical trick or framing device, and is instead simply...the truth? For decades the primary point of discussion with regards to climate change is "the right way to talk about it." And as far as I can tel

Lots of people here disagreeing with you that Firefox is worse, but I'm with you. I'm on an M1 MacBook Air, been a Chrome user forever, but when they started getting aggressive with adblocking on YouTube, I switched over to Firefo

I've tried Yabai multiple times but always bounced off. It's just a little too buggy, a little too opinionated. I've never found a window management system I've actually truly liked. On Linux, I've tried em all, and

I really like Berkeley, JetBrains Mono, etc, but at this point I simply can't move away from Fira Code. It's, like, what code looks like to me at this point.

This just seems to obvious to me, even when doing the math: Max costs an average of $12.99/month. $30 million / $12.99 = 2.3 million. Max has over 95 million monthly subscribers, and one has to imagine that ~2% of the subscriber

First good name to ever come out of Microsoft. I'm sure it just barely succeeded over Visual Windows Subsystem for IntelliSense Core.

It's worth noting, though, that Justin can afford to not take outside investments for Reaper because he already "sold out" by selling Nullsoft to AOL for ~$50 million. I say this not to throw shade or anything like that -- I

In your case, it might just be. Tinnitus due to TMJ, tight neck muscles, etc is very common, and in all those cases it is curable by treating the underlying mechanical issues.

Not yet. I have absolutely insane tinnitus -- crazy high pitched, can hear it over any sound, too many tones to count. Also have hyperacusis but that's another topic. In any case, historically I've paid a lot of attention to this

It works for people that have tinnitus due to tight neck muscles. Tinnitus due to damaged ears is a whole different beast.

Fucking Google, man. I’m on an iPhone and I actually use Google Podcasts over the native iOS app, as I find its UX much more intuitive. They’re a joke. Can’t trust them to keep anything going.

My strategy is to go all-in on Apple as my daily drivers, and then to tinker with Linux in my spare time. For example, my main phone is an iPhone, but I recently bought a used OnePlus 6 with the intention of installing NixOS on it. My lapto

People are "against" challenging climate science because a) it is extremely mature and the broad strokes as well as most of the fine strokes are overwhelmingly settled and have been for decades, and b) challenge implies a delay, w

I'm a self-taught programmer, and I'm the lone programmer at a small non-tech company. I've mostly learned by building, and by reading documentation on language features, libraries, etc when I get stuck. I was pretty aware of

This is a great comment. FWIW I think you'd do a great job contributing to the nix documentation.
