It's stupid. Every normal (ie not terminally online) person I speak to calls it twitter and is confused if I call it X. For some reason most of them think an "x post" is on instagram too. I guess because influencers call cros

How did you choose which countries to include on your map? You have countries that aren't in the EU but are missing countries which are.

I understand the machines were in the basement, I don't understand why the motor for 2 was under shaft 1, 3 under 2, and 1 under 3.

I wish there was more explanation as to why the original builders decided to make a cat's cradle out of the roping. It's not like you can accidentally run the cables for cab #1 all the way over cabs 2 & 3 because you weren&#x2

I remember doing this with jQuery's $.ajax nearly 15 years ago. This seems comically overcomplicated in comparison. Why bother with the overhead of a websocket? > You do not need to build an API: the server generates HTML and sends

On the one hand, I hate the expansion of authoritarian power by the state. On the other, I do think that we should put people in prison for posting on facebook. That way I won't have to keep seeing my crazy uncle at family gatherings

They didn't reinvent it, it's literally using JSONRPC. The thing they "invented" was coming up with a loose standard for how to implement your RPC endpoints in a way that the AI was pre-trained to interact with. The actu

The killer feature that got me into using it was the shell integration. Your prompt, input and command output are entirely separate entities rather than one single stream of text. It's like using a Jupyter notebook for the terminal. Th

I don't dislike it. The keybindings are a bit arcane and having to write the config in Lua rather than having a preferences panel is annoying (though spectacularly powerful), but I've settled in to it and being able to use ctrl-

I used to really like Warp, back when it was just a terminal. Then as they went more and more in on AI the actual terminal features became more and more buggy and I ended up having to go back to WezTerm. Why is every company seemingly tryin

I genuinely don't understand, why would you use `@apply text-center` instead of `text-align: center`? Like if you're already at the point of setting up stylesheets & classes with a pre-processor why would you do that and not s

The author lost me at the last bit where they started using weird names for the posts. Why would you make one ID O and the other ID 0? Why single letters and not EMBED_01? Why seemingly random letters instead of ABCDEF? Does OCPDST stand fo
