Ironically, these were the kinds of issues keeping Mac/Windows folks from Linux 15-20 years ago. The difference now is that Linux is the incumbent. Users were willing to suck it up—not so much anymore. There were clear reasons why peop

This is irrelevant because the changes are occurring upstream in Chromium by mostly Google developers.

1. This kind of browsing is more likely to be done on a phone, in private. I find the scenario a bit contrived in 2024. 2. It seems a bit weird to be concerned about UI patterns if you earnestly want this component to do its job. 3. If it&#

They still get admission to a university with lowered standards and a credential at the end of the day. A lot of these scholarship athletes aren't college material and wouldn't get in otherwise. There's some value there. It&#

Whether manufacturing grows, on its own or as % of GDP, has nothing to do with any particular segment of manufacturing has grown or declined, or emerged or disappeared. As a thought experiment, you can do the same analysis with any number o

As an "older" programmer, I feel the opposite. Git became mainstream very recently, though admittedly it's been a good ten years or more. I sometimes think younger programmers' attitudes toward git are borderline cultish

I live in an average area of the midwest, and every McDonald's starts at $14/hr. That's two Big Macs after tax, or three if you use the app.

The properties of the universe affects mathematics insofar as matter is organized and living agents have a use for it, but its abstractions and logical relations still do not require the universe. I think a metaphysical position like physic

> On some level mathematics is a description of reality that we can use to compute things in reality. This is contested by nominalists. They'd say you have it backwards. Mathematics is just an abstraction/language that can be u

I mean, as it stands a physical ID is one more critical thing besides your phone that you have to bring to the store.

This is a better explanation, but can't the state be measured at any time, unchanged or not? The measurable attribute could always be in flux, for example.

I don't think you understood the analogy. CSS is the language that Tailwind uses. CSS is the language that SCSS is based on. CSS is what other frameworks use. CSS is what the browser interprets for styles. Tailwind is a methodology and

by vehemenz 2y ago
I don't understand why people think Tailwind is a crutch. It's a tool that uses low level abstractions to build things quickly and lends itself to easier maintenance over time. It has its limits, just like high-abstraction CSS or

The native experience is pretty good. Most of the complaints I hear are from people coming from other operating systems and have different expectations, which is understandable, but that isn't always the fault of the operating system.

I'll bet if you polled most people, even non-Apple customers, they'd be okay with paying a little extra for the convenience of an app store. The problem is that it's 30%.

Contemporary philosophy is Anglo-centric. Why is it strange?

I'm not at all surprised by Quine, given that his impact in contemporary philosophy is immense. I'm more surprised by Carnap's non-appearance on this list, given that he was one of Quine's mentors, more influential, and

I'm considering the employer's position. If a bunch of my employees were working six-hour days and communication was suffering at the office, then I would feel justified to institute RTO. As long as it's not meant as an indir

by vehemenz 2y ago
Yes, but constructive dismissal is only relevant if returning to the office constitutes a hostile work environment, which it wouldn't if the original terms of employment included office attendance. Inconvenience isn't an argument.

No need to invoke metaphysics here. Whether time is an illusion or not doesn't depend on its "existence," though I'm not sure what you mean by "exists." I'm not convinced anyone does. I agree with your ove

Wrong. I don't understand why people attempt to make corrections like this. Anyone could browse Twitter anonymously, since the beginning.

Exactly. There haven't been perceptible performance differences between browsers in a very, very long time. This isn't a reason to switch browsers anymore.

The headline is a bit misleading compared to the article. Everybody already cares about dignity but only at the expense of everyone else. We need to prioritize dignity for pedestrians at the expense of drivers. Everyone in Yukons and F150s

Interesting timing for this. Chrome 127 (releases today) disables Manifest V2 extensions. When uBlock Lite runs out of rules, unwanted advertising will be back on the web. With all due respect to the Chrome team, where is the leadership, c

It’s more a matter of interpretation than correctnesss. If we’re not being deliberately obtuse, “absolute” and “relative” would go a long way toward disambiguation here.

The Vim emulation is pretty far behind JetBrains, VSCode, and Sublime Text. I wouldn't compare it to Vim as a replacement at this point.

Some might find it silly, but using an HHKB over the existing keyboard solves the issues one might have with non-MacBook keyboards. It solves the bad keyboard issue, and beyond that the HHKB is genuinely an excellent keyboard. As an added b

I agree, but on the other hand, if you're a paying customer for years and take a hiatus for a year or two, then you lose data.
