Those four characters are enough friction to slowly grind down the number of today's outraged people into a population small enough that, when Google stop supporting '-ai', people will think it's weird that you still car

It's all just Baumol's cost disease. Sectors like ours becoming more productive drags up the cost of labour everywhere else. In manufacturing, that increases the incentive to skip any step that needs human input (e.g. increasing t

My first thought is: obviously not. But if 10 years ago you'd asked me if Valve would be able to turn Linux into a serious gaming platform, I'd have answered the same. All that stemmed from an unlikely but existential fear that Mi

Or similar to DLSite and Fantia, where it didn't work.

Github similarly lacks the ability to override the diff algorithm. This is a shame, because `histogram` makes some diffs look much more like what the human intended. The default, Myers, is from 1986!

For this reason I usually either check it out locally or use the Github IDE (. or >)

I think people putting enough thought and effort into reviewing, and developing it as a skill, are a small minority.

Read this as though it has a visibly bulging temple vein: Does that mean you do the thing where I respond to your review, request a re-review, then get comments about code that was already there a week ago?!

It's a shame that the LLM era missed out on coinciding with the zero interest rates era. Just imagine the waste we could create.

Not so, you need to know how long you have until they shut it down.

You can still use SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for it.

You and Zambyte are both doing the same thing the top level comment is complaining about. e.g. in C: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf (6.8.5.1) selection-statement:

Most publications are haphazard like this. The diacritic example also applies to Vietnamese, despite the alphabet coming from Portuguese. Similarly, Chinese and Korean names are usually written in the order they are pronounced, while Japane

It is not novel to point out that more things are webapps or Electron.

We always have, but the forms we obtained it in before (close in-person friendships, live-in family, religion) are diminished.

You are correct and I've even ran into a situation where build-time evaluation was slower than runtime calculation, thanks to code size.

My point is that there rarely are other 'apps' in use.

Hidden options tend to degrade. Defaults are important.

I think it's user-hostile that 'maximise' is next to 'close'. After moving my mouse so far, I need to start using fine control if I want to maximise it. I want more of the program and, if I fail, I get none of i

If you drive a car, you've demonstrated being willing to spend time learning a tool to take advantage of something being more efficient (than walking). There is a tradeoff between efficiency and learnability, in some cases learning the

We don't do desktop computing like we did then. Most of what was separate applications then are now done in-browser: it's like running a virtual machine inside your OS. I don't need to know that what I'm using is Edge&#x

I really disagree. An IDE, and the browser example given below, are tools I'll spend thousands of hours using in my life. The discoverability is only important for a small percentage of that, while viewing the content is important for
