I've seen another headline today suggesting the UK might drop to a 3-day workweek to conserve fuel. Like damn, between reduced work-weeks and the prospect of wrecking our governmen…

I never use them to replace a comma, certainly, and only rarely a colon. I find parenthesis often awkward or too heavy, so may use the m-dash to replace those. Especially if what m…

Mine's tracking it complete with a leaderboard (LOL) and it's been suggested to me that it'd be in my best interest not to be too low on that list, so I suspect in the back half of…

A related Dirty Secret that's going to become clear from all this is that a very large proportion of code in the wild (yes, even in 2026—maybe not in FAANG and friends, IDK, but ac…

> senior engineer would hate their jobs reviewing more code from their teammates Jesus, yes. Maybe I'm an oddball but there's a limit to how much PR reviewing I could do per week a…

The only way to see the kinds of speed-up companies want from these things, right now, is to do way too little review. I think we're going to see a lot of failures in a lot of sect…

Agreed on the strollers. There are medical reasons sometimes or whatever I’m sure, but that doesn’t explain most of them. We pushed ours to walk outdoors as much as possible as soo…

No, this goes beyond that. A well-written article or book doesn’t need to be padded with junk to cater to bad readers, or to preempt trolls, because they can’t scrawl all over it s…

Writing against libretro, I think you’d basically just draw on whatever surface libretro provided you. In retroarch booting on the Lakka distro (for example) this would ultimately …

One of the worst habits distinctive to online discussion-board writing (especially the sorts of places with lots and lots of people and where it's fairly hard to get permanently ki…

Same set-up here. Had tried many times over something like 15 years to get Kodi/XBMC working well. Nobody else could/would ever use it (the UI is so bad) and I bet I spent about 50…

Build it on Retroarch and you don’t even need X/Wayland. And the menu/launching functionality is done, you’d just be making a theme for it. Really if someone made a WebKit “core” a…
