It sounds like a mess, though comments about Godot are often vaguely positive. I appreciate you posting your experience about a limitation you’re running up against. I can think of…

I get the same feeling. There’s a lack of polish and intentionality to it. It’s a cool idea and a nice demo, and there’s certainly a lot of buttons and features. But it’s been lagg…

The blog post does the “It’s not X, it’s Y” pattern a few times. It’s hard not to assume the post is just produced by an LLM. It’s frustrating not knowing whether I’m reading the m…

Which is to say, not at all? A hammer isn’t subservient, it doesn’t have the capacity to be. Saying a hammer is subservient is stretching the definition for literary flourish, but …

I think there are some pretty good ways to understand it now. When the electricity goes out, (most) people get similarly upset. No electricity means no internet, and all of a sudde…

Yes it does matter. Users need to know that the updated URL is correct and trustworthy.

I’m a bit biased here, because a close friend’s mother was killed by someone speeding through a red light. I think automated enforcement of minor driving infractions is a good thin…

I assume it’s getting down votes because it’s off-topic. The parent comment was suggesting external mice as a temporary measure to debug the intermittent issue they’re facing. Whet…

If you don’t want to use CC, just use the API

Just one anecdotal perspective: I do not of know a single person in my extended family/professional network/social circle who has had location tracking or app eavesdropping directl…

We appear to be talking about different topics entirely. Your points seem to be about the effectiveness of political involvement, but the comment you’re replying to and the quote I…

>Well yeah of course it's not hard to get involved in politics, if the involvement is supporting people who are rich and powerful even if it is via the use of a more modest looking…

In practice? Yes it’s unavoidable. Unless you build in enough buffer to account for _every_ possible scenario out of your control, the probability of running late is non-zero.
