Viewing profile — iterati

the article is critiquing Tolkien's world-building as too simple. I'm struggling to see how his vision of complexity would in any way not require exposition dumps constantly so as …

Overly complicated world-building requires mountains of expository prose to expose the complexity. No one wants that. They want characters and drama and entertainment. If you want …

It's an option when you set up your phone as a key. If it didn't delete me and just picked the wrong profile, it'd be a great feature.

Is it already open or is it opening? Last time I talked to my friend with an EV Porsche, he wasn't yet able to use the superchargers.

Even if she were near, I'd expect it to select her profile and let me select mine. Instead it deletes my profile entirely and I need to reconfigure my seat, mirrors, and any drive …

My partner and I share a Tesla. It's 'mained' under her account. About 25%-50% of the times I enter the driver's seat - it varies depending on the version it's on - it forgets my d…

Same. My table names are also singular.

I'm a Relay user on Android, and the creator of Relay has said he may need to charge $3/mo for the app (previously was a buy-once for $2). It's useful enough for me to pay that muc…

I'm torn on the Dilemma being my next because I currently still use my pinkys for double quote and quote. The 40 key layout here was what I was considering designing for myself but…

Hard disagree. Keyboards are a tool and should be comfortable to use.

Check out the Miryoku layout ( https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku ). I use a modified version. For me, that keypress is inner-right-thumb, right index, middle, and pink press…

Most enthusiast split keebs run on QMK or ZMK which allow you to customize the layout as you'd like including features such as layers, one-shot mods (press shift, next key you pres…

> Cobra rates are quite affordable. I was on Cobra when I was laid off due to covid, and it was $550 a month for top tier healthcare. Those two statements are in odds with one anot…

And, of course, the leadership aren't suffering their mistakes.

I've handled this (in Clojure) either by passing a context map through the entire stack or binding some context atom at the top and using it lower down the stack. The binding is le…

New Jersey and Long Island are not more expensive than what the article talks about.

Default gruvbox light's background is a bit too dark, but light+hard has been my goto for the last 6 years or so.

This is the same reason I went to gruvbox from solarized. The warmer colors keep their contrast even with Flux[0] late into the night. 0: https://justgetflux.com/

I've worked with designers like this. They don't understand the product as much as they think and generally don't get the technical landscape they're dealing with. I've had to push…

Finding fun in things you do is different for going to work for fun. When I still worked in an office and commuted, I'd very rarely attend any out-of-work activities. I have my own…

And scams. Don't forget the scams.

They are coming out against advertising gambling from countries with lax consumer protection laws. If you play slots on a US-based slot machine, you're free to stream. They previou…

These are the dumbest type of comments. People are doing real world work in FP, but because it's not the work you do (or you're not comfortable doing the work you do in FP) you're …

I still have TIS-100 under the Languages skill section of my resume as an Easter Egg. I haven't played many of Zach's recent games, but SpaceChem, Opus Magnum, and TIS-100 were som…

My ever growing Steam wishlist with titles under $20 agrees with you.
