And importantly the barrel. Plastic cannot contain the pressure required to fire a bullet.

While that's definitely true, in this particular case he's invoking his rights under CCPA.

100%. I think the article makes space for this, too. In 3, 4, and 5 the author describes the experience of bouncing off of something despite trying to like it as well as _thinking_…

I have a qwerty keyboard also and all I have done to change my layout is remap caps lock to escape. Which is definitely vim relevant. I am a vim guy.

Will I finally be able to ask my car factual questions while driving? Right now android auto's assistant experience is way worse than on my phone or watch, so I end up having to us…

Based on a cursory search, I get the impression they haven't solved the particular cleaning problem the author did (i.e. removing places that just have restaurants rather than actu…

Apologies if my timings are off in this comment. They should be close enough to make my point, but it can be hard to find the actual dates. I have run a Synapse server for almost 8…

I doubt Matrix has a Discord.

I feel the point is a bit subtler. We should strive for improvement. We should also understand that that takes more than the normal amount of resources to do something different an…

That seems like the real problem with Spotify shuffle. The thing that feels un-random about it is that it plays the exact same songs over and over again despite the humongous size …

The discount rate is doing a lot of work here. There is a discount rate such that we're not talking about shortsightedness. Getting it right is difficult. But as an example, how mu…

As a Neovim afficionado - I think you lose some credibility recommending it as an alternative to VSCode and Sublime. They're different beasts. I imagine a lot of people would be im…

For ESP chips in general, the Rust on ESP Book [0] is pretty solid. Little short. I've been playing with writing a Watchy firmware in Rust (Watchy uses the dual-Xtensa ESP32-PICO-D…

Just use strace to find out what files it's opening! /s

The alternative here is that people are more of a burden on the community, not less. It's more disruptive to have noobs asking the same questions and having to be answered by commu…

> You do not need FP to use pure functions I think this is a bit more subtle, and a bit less interesting to say, than you're thinking it is and responding to. You need to be impure…

I bet it's control groups. The FDA thinks similarly. In late 2021, they canceled trials of Paxlovid because it was immoral to have a control group. They did not then _waive the tri…

> This problem is created by tying accounts to instances. That's a huge issue. My identity should not be tied to anyone but me. This has to be one of the biggest things that scares…

That's a good point. With those examples though I think being a member of multiple communities and discovering, joining, and leaving communities as desired is much lower friction c…
