I'm not normally one to read "my road through pain and suffering" articles, and to be fair, this isn't one. And I sure am glad I read this, just in case it should ever be my turn.

Wow, Texas seems to be one of the worst offenders here. How do you collect close to 1000 nurdles in 10 minutes? Do people wade through them on the beach?

In case it shouldn't work out, I never had any problems with MacPorts. I will have a look at devbox. I always found Nix on macOS too much hassle, maybe the situation has gotten better?

That may be one failure mode, but another one is more prominent: Half-assing the next feature is more interesting than going back and making the last feature that you half-implemented actually work. That goes for both commercial and open-so

Thank you for summarizing. Those machines regurgitate training data. The Ingestion of that data is something that's firmly situated in the past. The data itself has to be even older, because it needs to exist before training can begin.

I swear, every last bit of exchange from the "project developers" in this comment section, and all of the project repo, including the readme, is LLM-generated.

eieio.games uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it was signed using a signature algorithm that was disabled because that algorithm is not secure. Error code: SEC_ERROR_CERT_SIGNATURE

I am pleased to see a Junghans Max Bill watch smack at the center of the top display. The other ones are way too busy for my taste, except maybe the digital Seiko. The self-designed watch camouflages its functionality with minimalism, and t

It's not like we've had decades and decades of GUI experience where every problem has already been solved. Also, this week's "designer" is smarter than everyone before them -- time to reinvent the wheel!

Fuck, now they've got animated nags that are autoplaying and don't get filtered out by uBlock Origin. One more site that uses dark patterns too chase away visitors.
