Hi, I hope this mini-PSA is welcome. I know a lot of Apple users, myself included, have strong opinions about Apple's very sudden change in human interface standards, and would pre…

I'd clock this as an AI website with no question whatsoever. Everything comes in punchy threes. I don't need to know what "早い・旨い・熱い" means in order to smell it for what it is.

I think we're talking past each other. You are largely not understanding the point I'm saying. I agree that Python, as a shell and scripting language, will have different ergonomic…

I basically agree with these tradeoffs (you should never be pulling in dependencies outside the builtins), but let's look back to GP: > Comparing the shell to C, Go, Rust, Python, …

Yes, someone who has no idea how to use their shell and tries to get around by making arbitrary guesses will suffer. This is true for bash as well. It's no reason to kill yourself …

I think you are reading something into my post that isn't there. You surely do not believe I am arguing that Python is a shell language without tradeoffs. Of the languages listed i…

One of these are not like the other. Python is perfectly serviceable as a shell, to the extent that one could largely replace bash with the Python REPL if they wanted.

My issue with the iPad is that it just does not have the fine-fidelity or response time of real ink, and it's not something that never fails. It's so frustrating to be so pregnant …

For me, I scrolled, clicked, but the page hijacked my screen, moved its position by force, and I was not certain which pane I was on immediately. It broke my sense of continuity. I…

This article has several sections and you are commenting on things under the section titled "Annoying Things". There is another section titled "Alarming Things", with a subsection …

FWIW I haven't had bad experiences on the Godot subreddit, but I haven't tried in three years since the API change. And AI seems laughably bad at Godot for any non-trivial question…

I have had questions edited and closed and I have also been reticent to ask questions just from my own personal experience.

I think so too, but many people have many oppositions to AI and would prefer knowledge to be in the hands of knowledgeable community, rather than AI companies. SO was poised to be …

Ah you're right, that's totally on me. I don't know how I missed that

The graph is not presenting a narrative, did you mean to reply to someone else who is presenting the "revisionist history"? In 2023, Stack Overflow had already started making unpop…

Any social organization needs to carefully consider their inclusion-exclusion curve with intentionality. I think a lot of people might balk at the word "inclusivity" today, but Sta…

With animations and transitions disabled, the OnePlus 3 is much faster to navigate through and do the same tasks than an iPhone 16 Pro. And I suspect the touchscreen digitizer is d…

More specifically, DOGE exfiltrated private and precious information about US citizens which the federal government had collected.

The OnePlus 3 was my first proper smartphone and the best phone I ever used. Running Lineage, it's faster and more responsive, even today, than a $1000 iPhone from 2024. The qualit…

Ah, that's fair. I think I saw the [dead] and [flagged] and assumed you might have personally pulled a lever behind-the-scenes for that, but that was not a fair assumption of mine.…

You're right, it is confusing. I wrote a whole comment and deleted it because I thought I knew what it was. Pico-8 is a fantasy console, and Picotron is a workstation for that cons…

For what it's worth, this doesn't read as "snark" to me. There _are_ many direct critiques in this thread about X being caught uploading users home directories, and some are clearl…

TUI is a lot better for me, and I have preferred it since the 00s, before LLM products were even a thing. For all the reasons there can be, one big reason is that it works on anyth…

Also worth pointing out that it is not an ad hominen. Ad hominen is when you attack someone who is making an argument, instead of an argument. "You are flawed, which means your arg…
