Keep making TUIs. Keep making whatever you want. These "terminals weren't made for that" kind of comments are a bit tiresome. I can run TUIs on machines I only have ssh access to and they are often leaner than the correspondi

His "argument" for strict typing on the Lex Fridman podcast was also that it's mostly if you have "hundreds or (of?) thousands of engineers collaborating", which "strictly" puts his opinion in the bin in

Most posts of this kind are completely void of thoughts on how society - including public institutions - require you have a smart phone nowadays. I don't use my smart phone that much (probably more than I think, though). It's prac

Case in point if anyone wonders why Apple [seems to] refuse developing a more desktop-like OS. I guess the M4 iPad Pro got many of us dreaming. :)

by blipmusic 2y ago
To me, part of this is due to the app-centric nature of iPadOS, as opposed to the more file/data-centric nature of a conventional "desktop" OS.

You have it wrong. Apple doesn’t fundamentally believe in selling one device (do-it-all iPad Pro) as opposed to selling two (Mac + iPad). The segmentation is a business decision, nothing else. Apple have multiple iPad lines and could

I don't mean to belittle your great achievement with license annoyances so forgive me if this sounds harsh, but I won't look twice at any software with an online requirement, if internet connectivity is not an integral part of the

> There are tons of types of “Pros”. Regardless of our personal professional affinities the only reason iPadOS stays locked down is that it's simply more profitable to sell a customer two devices instead of just one. I would love to

That sounds reasonable. I'm writing a dumb, little journal/todo CLI tool for personal use ("meet with @farmer @Monday @13:30 regarding #carrots"), and the library I used for time has a duration for most things except mon

Well, that’s not “the month” at all, though. At least not something I’d use outside of getting a rough idea for setting the next meeting, and absolutely wouldn’t use in code (but it’s probably fine for a todo - I’m complicating things, sorr

Wouldn't a "month" risk being many days off the intended target date, since it's a non-fixed timespan? E.g. how many days is "1 month from today" (March 20)? You mention medicine, so I assume there's somet

What? No. I can run these on a server and get the same UI as locally, which is great. As with everything else sometimes TUIs make sense, sometimes not. There are a lot of crappy GUIs out there as well, which would have been better served as

It depends who the end user is. As an aid for a trained physician, who is in a better position to spot the hallucinations, it may be fine, whereas a self-medicating patient could be at risk. We absolutely need more resources in healthcare t

Maybe it’s ok to worry about both? Not trusting ”arbitrary thing A” does not logically make ”arbitrary thing B” more trustworthy. I do realise that these models intend to (incrementally) represent collective knowledge and may get there in t

What on earth do you mean? Yes, MS is of course a for-profit company, but the long-term storage situation in academia alone is dire. I know from experience that most research data at my university exist as a single copy on a single external

That's odd. Are you sure this is not related to Jupyter? I use plotly.js via a Rust wrapper ( https://github.com/igiagkiozis/plotly ) and the performance seems ok when generating a static, interactive html. The wrap

Because people sometimes write parsers for binary file formats? In my case, it is indeed for a programming task, but not for debugging running/compiled code. A ”raw bytes” view can be useful in many situations.

I love PragmataPro. It's not just the look, but also the character support and many of its design features. I work with linguists in academia and get to work on a lot of plain text data - transcriptions and what not. PragmataPro's

As with many concepts designed to do good in this world I think it's (unfortunately? not sure) human nature to attempt to "solve" a system, whether the consequences greatly diverges from - or is even the opposite to - the int

There’s no email or anywhere to fill it in the first place during/after purchase, just a screen with the license code. An invoice or purchase confirmation mail would have been nice… I do hope there’s a way to retrieve the license for c
