I hate the round corners. It's already too much on 15, but way worse on 26. It looks like "Baby's first OS", designed by Fisher-Price.

> Another important feature of a tool like this is the ability to tolerate errors: I can't imagine a Linux today that would be able to even boot if the shell was extra pedantic abo…

What if there was a less cryptic way to have mandatory arguments, something harder to get wrong, like param( [parameter(mandatory)] $name ) "Hello, $name!" And then: $ ./script.ps1…

Is any of MIT's stuff "open"? Clicking around on news.mit.edu I see lots of cool ideas. Articles mention "the software allows users to...", yet I never see a link to actual softwar…

In this thread: bash experts with arcane knowledge, unintentionally demonstrating how awful bash is. The obvious solution would be to use something more sane, like PowerShell or nu…

Interestingly the "activate on release" logic was implemented in computer GUIs long before touchscreens were common, used purely by mouse-click (a physical button).

My point was about user expectations / users not being aware when the button triggers. Your argument has nothing to do with that.

Isn't this exactly why browsers implemented "private mode"? Why don't they inform users about how to properly use private mode, which works with any website, instead of rolling the…

> But a button that works like that in a GUI would feel wrong. No, it doesn't. It feels way more responsive. My pet peeve is "stopwatch apps" which trigger on release instead of on…

You're wrong. "Users should vote and comment when they run across something they personally find interesting—not for promotion." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#:~…

If you want to see what a random distribution looks like: jot -r 100 0 1 | rs -t 10 I noticed my "fake randomness" is lacking long sequences of the same key. I feel like I'm "predi…

Only in theory. A 3D printer doesn't need to sustain lateral forces - a router does. It might not be built for this.

The docs say that's the default: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/backends/#webview-(def...

More fun facts: Omitting those characters makes it good for generating passwords if they need to be typed in by hand. Double-clicking a base58 string always selects the whole strin…

I find that hard to believe. The AI companies will want to control what's possible and find new things to do that "need" their services. Otherwise it would be like Intel and Micros…
