Way, way worse than an utter waste of resources and ingenuity. Any musician using this is nothing in my eyes, unless it’s the weirdest, most subversive thing I’ve ever heard. Like maybe there are three or four actually creative uses for thi

The landing page which is linked at the start of the second sentence of this page…? I don’t completely disagree with you, but this is mostly hypertext working as intended, is it not?

Celsius has plenty of resolution for this; in fact I would say Fahrenheit has too much. You can feel the change of one degree Celsius, you can’t really with Fahrenheit. To illustrate this, not only is your scale in tens, but I often only he

I would argue the same in most situations, but let’s be honest: what matters most to most employers is their employees falling in line. There is some sense to this: it is easier to manage a bunch of people doing things more-or-less the sa

Sorry to hear that but the alternatives are worse, as should be obvious.

This is divide-and-conquer rhetoric from someone who doesn’t want labour power. Workers would be much better off if we all stood together no matter how much we were paid or what our conditions were. Edit: oh I see, your bio brags that you’r

Commenter is, like me, mystified that reading comprehension can be that poor. Even without the linked post’s commentary, a plain reading of DHH’s original post should be enough to see exactly where he is politically. So to have to spell it

So you think it's entirely moral to label only white British people as "native Brits"? To speak warmly of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's ("Tommy Robinson") marches? Unless you are also comfortably on the far right, I&

Well, they’re not minimum-viable if they don’t work, which they won’t for most users. It’s not a simple matter of the database being unlocked or locked, as I say it’s at least a per-process authentication, protected by the 1Password daemon.

You have to both install and explicitly enable the 1Password CLI, both steps no “normal” user is going to take unless socially engineered to. https://www.1password.dev/cli/get-started And getting secrets using it requi

Socialists want to seize the means of production in order to democratise it and move towards communism, which is exactly a post-scarcity post-state destruction of the [capitalist] economy. It is entirely compatible with giving everyone AI a

Yeah, techno-religious types scare me. They're profoundly anti-human and seem capable of some heinous shit. You've written a lot of words to say "humans are flawed, let's create a machine that's better", but tr

So condescending. “Can’t psychologically cope”? Can you hear yourself? There’s some advances, but we’re losing a lot too. Don’t get dazzled by the hype.

There are many mysteries of the universe, but who we are, to the extent that I am rejecting the comment I replied to, is not one of them. I would love to see how humans explore reality and being (if we survive!) as time goes on and we figur

Sure, we're cyborgs, but still very much of the flesh, and I think we have to draw a line somewhere.

I think attitudes like this are traitorous to the human species. You’re not talking about a transcendence, or at least, not one that I recognise. Our biology is an innate part of us - to improve, to fix, sure, but not to cast off. Who is di

If you ever thought “prediction markets” were a good idea, you should leave economic judgement to other people. Go take up gardening or something instead. It’s a hack reference at this point I know, but it’s Idiocracy-level stuff.

I can certainly see the appeal of number four, but on more than a couple of systems I've worked on, it would have blown up the amount of data stored in a fair proportion of tables for very questionable benefit. It's a good techniq

Your dislike of music videos in general has meant that you haven’t had the interest to discern the good from the bad. There are plenty of high quality music videos. It’s like someone saying “I’m not really into classical music, it sounds al

I mean yes, cars are absurdly inefficient for a lot of trips. America’s addiction to cars is kind of funny.

Certainly where I live, rents are many times that, yes. If landlords really were just charging cost plus a modest profit (despite that I really object to any profit on housing) I wouldn’t be outraged.
