My personal opinion, but I'd rather see wider macOS support than Linux support, if it's a sheer matter of where time is allocated. Linux already has world class package managers.

I feel like the odd man out ITT but Terra has been absolutely amazing for me and totally blows Sonnet out of the water. My company pays for Claude so I use Sonnet in the office but at home I use Terra and I find it far more likely to one sh

I mean, isn't this basically what's already happening after COPPA with YouTubers having to swear or make adult jokes to prove to the bots they're not targeting children with their videos?

I've been trying to come to terms with the modern internet just not being for me. It's honestly taken a bit of emotional processing, growing up a very lonely teen in the late 90s the internet was a haven and a lifeline. It's

The person I pulled is from 42,000 BCE. The map shows a densely populated region in South America. I'm pretty sure that goes against mainstream archeological evidence which says Humans arrived in the Americas 15,000-30,000 years ago.

How common is offering a dark mode outside particularly programmer-y/designer-y spaces? We'd like to but don't currently offer it because it would be a fairly involved undertaking - we have a lot of images that would need t

In 2004 I had a program on my TI-89 "Calculus Made Easy". It would do basically everything AND show your work. Someone gave it to me about 2/3's of the way through Calc 1. I truly regret having become dependent on it. I

I think it's kind of cuts both ways. Some of my happiest memories growing up in the late 90's early 2000's involved drinking with a bunch of friends in their basements. My wife on the other hand drank because she was unhappy.

Because you could make the world a better place instead of just complaining about it? I don't understand the "all I wanna do is complain" process at all. Fix it. If you see a problem in the world, fix it. If they reject the f

The same kind as a similar recent post [1] where a person pointed out a bunch of problems with Omarchy's shell scripts as examples of it being terrible. Open a pull request. That's how this is supposed to work. Wisdom of the crowd

I think this really overplays the "US intervening" angle for clickbait. The US mentioned it in an official document. That is all. It was a weird interesting OS that failed to take off largely because of how engrained systems alr

If we took the time to count all the things I own that that I actually need , I would be shocked if that number cracked 5% of everything I own. The vast majority of items I own are for fun or labor saving. Often the prior masquerading as t

I don't. I don't need a bicycle at all. The only reason most Americans outside NYC and Chicago ride a bike is leisure. Well, that or too many DUIs if we're being honest. Ideally though if I had something like this it would

I would say no. As someone who actually really liked my Touch Bar, the only problem I had with it was that it replaced a row of keyboard keys. If they had simply put it above my F keys instead of trying to replace them I think the world

We've got the stupid chat bubble at the bottom. We didn't want it, it's like a megabyte of JavaScript. It's some third party service corporate forced on us. I have to imagine a lot of websites are in the same boat, where

I've never understood the appeal of the opposite. Modern gaming where you just play with different randos every round. When I was a kid playing Quake 3 I had different servers bookmarked, knew the players that ran the servers and the g

How firm is the hybrid requirement? This sounds up my alley - Go (10+ YoE), TS (10+ YoE), PHP (25+ YoE) and I'm very interested but my wife and I both have elderly parents to support so relocating isn't really an option. (Minnesot
