there is literally nothing microsoft could possibly do or change now or ever to make me even consider going back to using windows on a personal machine. i don't care if they turn windows into the greatest OS in the world and make it fr

probably literally nothing, just like google and LLMs also have had basically zero effect on patients experiences for the same reasons. maybe it varies by location but in my experience doctors will virtually put their fingers in their ears

there's really nothing anybody can do. protests dont work, riots dont work, petitions dont work, and theres nobody else to vote for who isn't also a cunt.

i've never considered testing out any of the new version control systems i see from time to time for the simple reason that i already know git, everybody else already knows git, git already completely handles everything i could conceiv

particularly snoopy culture, yes, stemming from GCHQ, no idea. our government has always felt entitled to breach our privacy and we are equal parts spineless and stupid. average take on this is either "why would you care unless you hav

what are your thoughts on solidJS? seems like they're going for "react but not shit", think they pulled it off?

that's completely irrelevant to the point they're making.

i was expecting something dumb if i'm honest but it looks really nice, i would probably use this. it seems like the perfect extension of the "code vomit" speed of writing lua and moves it further in that direction imo. the th

interesting that the author blames "the modern developer tooling ecosystem" for the issue of not being able to reproduce builds, it's still a problem of course but in my experience it was way worse in the past, with most ec

i'd guess that it has more to do with the fact that people keep vandalising them rather than individuals suddenly picking buying teslas as the one thing to take a stand against when this never seems to happen in any effective capacity

games don't cost more to make, just certain out of touch companies keep dumping tons of money into dumb shit gamers don't care about. it has never been easier to make games with a lower entry barrier than it is right now.

wolverines are also fuzzy and adorable. knowing full well how much it might fuck my shit up, i don't think i could stop myself reaching to pet it if i ever crossed paths with one.

it's funny, i've never heard of or thought about the possibility of this happening but actually in hindsight it seems almost too obvious to not be a thing.

no idea where to find it again or how accurate it is but i watched a documentary about these rats some years ago and it said that they're small enough to be able to navigate minefields without triggering the mines.

right but that one cherry picked number doesn't tell the whole story at all. if wages had also risen with inflation and economic pressure hadn't changed then i'd agree with you, but the fact is that an $80-90 hit today is har

don't really care about their reasoning, video games simply are not worth that much money.

i'm a native english speaker and even i can't complete most of these because it's so US-centric. this is virtually unplayable for non-americans, which is a shame because it's a really good game.

jumping spiders are very cool but god this site sucks to use on mobile. 3 times i accidentally "swiped" to a new article while trying to scroll down before i gave up trying to finish it, at which point i realised you can't s

imo it's not dismissive it's just the truth. the chances of someone's values completely lining up with the current agenda of any political party are effectively zero, so anybody who fits that description has just picked a tea

a lot of it is just plain denial. a certain subgenre of person will forever attack everything AI does because they feel threatened by it and a certain other subgenre of person will just copy this behaviour and parrot opinions for upvotes&#x

so 60% of britons have read a book in the last 12 months, this is literally the most positive news i've seen about britain in over a decade. 60% seems nuts based on the people i know in real life.

>I wonder if Reddit Inc. actually wants to serve their users? I‘m beginning to think they actually hate them. with the way redditors act, reddit probably hates them at least as much as everybody else does.

why did the entire internet seemingly lose the ability to say the word "nothing" without adding "burger" to it since about 2 years ago?

nah ai killed stupid tech interviews. you can easily get an idea of someones competence by literally just talking to them instead of making them do silly homework exercises and testing their rote memorisation abilities.
