I wonder if they will ever see the wobble as a problem or if it is something people like about the iPhone somehow. My iPhone 15 pro survives another generation.

The intro followed immediately by obvious AI slop put me so off that I stopped reading. They may be trying to make a point. But the way they are doing it is off putting.

I was hoping for a kind of joke. Like saying "idiot" as the last thing in your post and getting "Please don't sign your posts" as a reply.

Excellent set of commands. Of course the two most useful ones would never be useful in the code base I am currently working on. "fix" might be the single most common commit message, and after that comes "." Trying for tw

The pop-up is about disabling javascript, to avoid this kind of website doing this kind of thing. I thought it was clever. But it also seems ham-fisted, and in poor taste.

The (very clearly AI-generated) watercolors were an immediate sign to be wary of this. But I read it because I liked the first paragraphs. The prose is decent, I like the premise, thought provoking idea. One issue though: I had to use firef

Thinking about how my television was only ever on the internet for 5 minutes in 2016. It must think the world is tiny.

I swap back and forth between favorit movies. Every few days it may be Goodfellas. Some days it is The Room. But I always return to Kiki’s delivery service and Howls moving castle. Both are absolutely gorgeous and incredibly well told. I al

The font you chose is borderline illegible. Password being 3-20 characters makes me nervous. Fun idea though.

Looks amazing. A recent game, Eclipsium[0], was a short horror game with a similar esthetic. I really liked it for the simple gameplay and the short (less than 4 hours) completion time. I wonder if it can carry a larger scale. [0] https:&#

If sponsored projects and in-video sponsor spots dried up because of low view count I feel like a +20% loss would be something they would feel on their bottomline? I suspect their business still requires that revenue. But my example could b

This is completely unspoken by most of the youtube channels that are making videos about this. The reason they are worried is not because of the algorithm or vanity. Especially for channels like LTT it is economical. They get the vast major

I share my .emacs with people who ask. Not really for privacy, but because I would feel bad: If someone tried to use any of it and was not able to ask me what I was thinking. The usual answer is that I was not and we should change it. I wou

> Even rather good students with a lot of potential see all this engineering stuff more as a media career or a fun hobby. This seems positive, no? I love the idea that young people want to make stuff and tinker in their free time.

Kagi seems to genuinly have a good mission when it comes to the internet. I want small web search. I want good results. I will pay for search! I do not want to support Russia.

The database they are comparing to is probably not only youtube videos. So the freebooted or matching video, in their database, has a creation data which is earlier than the 3blue1brown video.

I love the idea. But a quick test tells me it is not appropriate for anyone who uses any non-ascii characters. A shame. Loved all the recommendations in this thread. I have been thinking about getting away from Source Code Pro for a while.

Seems like this just validates the idea that Patreon did not need to be an app. The website works just fine and I doubt people are using the app for discovery or content creation? I know Patreon wants to capture as much of your time as poss

I am concerned that there are no pictures of the adorable cats in the post. It sound like the manufacturers just see USB-A as a convenient and cheap connector for delivering power.

Is there much consumer confusion here? Are people buying oat drink "dairy alternative" and thinking they can use it 1-to-1 in place of milk? This feels like a silly way to go about it, especially as we should be lowering our consu

For about a year, I would receive a password reset notification from Minecraft, every day. Someone thought they had the account name "mark", I am sort of glad they moved to emails and eventually MS accounts. Although I suppose I l

My emacs setup is pretty much eye candy free. I remove scrollbars and menus because I never use the mouse and mode-line linenumber and % of file is usually fine. Zone seems like fun, but I would never activate it.

I think BQN is a lot of fun, it is an array language like APL, but it does some things different https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ the documentation is great. Dyalog APL is more of an actual APL, https://www.

It also locks the scope to just git in the mind of the reader. Even if the scope broadens down the road. A less specific name might benefit the project? The part after the colon will explain the actual purpose.

Made me realize that I use very few packages any more. Hydra (most could be done in transient or without a menu), project.el (built-in), magit, org-mode, org-ql, ivy/counsel, company, lispy, smartparens-mode. I should probably declare

I program Java and javascript for money and a mix of APL, BQN, J, emacs lisp, and clojure for fun. The biggest challenge is switching from one array language to another, they are very similar but have subtle differences that I forget. Mostl

My favourite is when I get upset about someones driving and they react by honking or doing rude gestures. Ah, the joys of almost getting killed by someone who is so rude that they don't even realise they were about to kill me. I am ble
