It feels like we're fairly close yet so far. Lots of newer tools do have animation and tweening of arbitrary properties but then will just have bitmap image editors instead of a built-in vector editor for example. Or just make it reall

I mean it's possible for there to be bad health effects from something without it outright killing everyone. This is why things like hygiene are tough! You can have terrible hygiene and still be alive for a long time. Perhaps if Sweden

Neat! The Django admin is really great. I do wish there could be a bit more extensibility hook points to hook into existing stuff, but I know a loooot of projects that hack stuff into the admin despite that (I think in particular it's

Banning access to social media for kids under 18 similar to how tobacco and alcohol is banned to underage people would be the more direct line. This argument is quite close to what gov'ts are "trying" to do here! And I tihnk

I used to think this but spending some time learning about xargs (hell even for loops) makes me feel like this is trivial enough to stuff somewhere. Lots of people have mentioned awkward use cases where decisions have to be made. A built in

The thing you gotta make sure to do is basically return inside of switch statements. Typescript will gladly propagate a type that you think is never but is actually ThatOneCaseYouForgot if it's not ever used or referred to. Every TS pr

useMemo is definitely a scourge on my existence. Doesn't help that a bunch of people write articles like "don't bother with it!!" when memoisation results can cause actual real bugs when integrating with a third party li

I think there's a couple stories of people shipping some performant "webapp"-y stuff in Rust... but of course you can just compile those kinds of components and write the rest of your app in any other system

Kinda funny how this is true but there's a line of Mac OSes that can't connect to the App Store anymore so you can't upgrade the OS without manually downloading it off of an Apple help page. It's not the end of the world

I just want a forge to be able to let me push up commits without making a fork. Do the smart thing for me, I don't need a fork of a project to send in my patch!

I really don't get this... like you're a code checkout away from just asking claude locally. I get that it is a bit more extra friction but "you should have an agent prompt on your forge's page" is a _huge_ costly a

Is there anything worthwhile in moving games at Gigo 3? Even back in the Sega era it felt like it was mostly those generic Taito cabinets running most things.

To anyone who has an opportunity I highly recommend taking any chance you get to try and play any of the bigger "moving" arcade machines like the AX Monster Ride shown in the video. Even for really old stuff like Space Harrier the

I mean the high level stuff is still there right? Be straightforward, leave the right kind of pointers into the thing, say the right kind of things. But... I guess nowadays you can be vague and it'll get the gist of it.

Perhaps, but in Google's case that's, what, 10 years of value I got out of knowing how to write good searches? Probably more honestly. Everything is temporary to some extent.

I do think that there's some meta-skills involved here that are useful, in the same way that some people have good "Google-fu". Some of it is portable, some of it isn't. I think if you orient your experimentation right y

Shrug, to be honest if you don't understand the value of sketching out certain problems it's probably because you're not working on anything particularly difficult.

Highly recommend the Age of Napoleon podcast, which has some good long sections about military logistics on this point during its earlier episodes on Napoleon's early career. Really helps to visualize the nuts and bolts of moving a bun

While arguments can be made at the futility of individual action against a system action, it’s not like companies are making a bunch of product just to throw them in the trash. There are consumers of what is being produced! Society’s choice

I disagree with the "just"-ness of setting up bugzilla + cgit... but I do wonder how far you could go with just being on literally any platform. Obviously technically the same things are possible but I gotta imagine there's a
