2022 was a sad year

The scale at which we've traveled has also advanced with our technology, and the technology has also advanced with it - and it's increase with a pace that matches the overall progr…

re: who profits from this, got me thinking - even though $1m is a drop in the bucket of the market cap, could burning that amount of funds have any meaningful effect on the price? …

+1, it's gotten pretty easy to do bitcoin tracing these days IIRC. there's definitely cash out methods but for this large of a sum, seems like it'd be difficult?

hah humans are interesting! I'm the opposite. I love starting a codebase, I also make music and it's way easier for me to make 100 cool unique sketches live and improvised but not …

yes it does. the phrase OP used was likely a reference to this Apple issue, not that PM is literally doing this

oh that’s fantastic! keeping this in my back pocket

IDK, many people spend their whole lives glued to the TV or movies. it feels like it has only gotten worse. it also feels like people don't have hobbies these days. I think to conv…

worked in restaurants for years before moving to software engineering. despite being 'good' at coding, it screws me up a bit that I was a lot happier in many ways while working at …

yeah that was amazing. it felt like a lot of people on there were also fans of Erowid, which I now realize probably had a lot of the same people submitting experiences

damn that’s ballin, I didn’t even know people did that with code

> you're likely in the wrong project or too involved in phases of a project where your contribution can't move the needle significantly anymore to expand on this, I've found most o…

It’s a memory hog on all OSes, but even worse on mac. and on my 2017MBP, cpu usage goes up quite a bit too. Firefox is also pretty bad on my mbp though.

self-righteous and a bit immature is how it came off to me. I definitely agree that tone is distracting from the article. made me stop reading faster

I started with going from coffee to black tea, which is supposedly about half the caffeine... now I just skip tea sometimes. maybe i’ll stop it completely

I guess it’s just me then. I wouldn’t write “we” in a comment online without explaining who “we” is, it seems like an unnecessary detail to explain

Ah - I took the question as saying “I did nothing to indicate the sort and could in fact be purchasing for a business”, so I was trying to explain that side!

No, it just means the person has the ability to purchase. They could be purchasing it for themselves or on the behalf of another organization.

I’ve been thinking about this as well, they also kept their borders open to US citizens despite most countries closing them. Perhaps Brexit closing trade doors with the EU could be…

I remember this saying originating as a riff on The Art of War, but I have no evidence of that

I was thinking of sciter (5mb) and another similar crate that I can't remember the name for

Yeah good point, I forgot about wxWidgets - wanted to use it but the rust bindings didn't look maintained.

The main cross platform open source offerings are GTK and QT. There are lightweight electron alternatives - HTML/CSS engines with a scripting DSL. Sciter is a paid option but I kno…

Wild, this is the path I went down and it was just 3 months ago! I didn’t expect Fedora to become my daily driver so quickly.
