The post is still relevant and it's not about not being able to open non-Apple software, but about Apple contacting their servers before anything is started. Apple is not blocking …

I will try my best, but at some point I feel this won't help. 98% of people have no problem with this. In fact they probably even see this as a positive, finally they don't have to…

Some years ago I had deliberate weeks in my life where I just went back to my old 2G brick phone from like 2001. I was amazed how it was still working perfectly. I mean, yes, 2G wi…

BUT DOESNT ANYONE HERE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

> But I still theoretically know how I could influence policy. I mean even in the EU there's theoretic ways to influence policy, it's just that the system is currently sabotaged an…

This doesn't make it untrue, instead it just confirms it (I know you didn't say or mean to disprove it, just wanted to add my thoughts here). People make dumb decisions and don't t…

Usually A/B testing is just on the surface, and when you actually subscribe you get the "better" terms of the possible options. Like, they're just advertising different terms to te…

While I feel the same way, this is nothing new at all. Basically every company does this and it's a totally normal way to test new profit models. Has been done for decades. People …

I mean, this is why they do A/B testing. This way of testing stuff is not new at all, people who act genuinely surprised need to do a reality check. Companies want to maximize prof…

No one is claiming that every sentence LLMs are producing are literal copies of other sentences. Tokens are not even constrained to words but consist of smaller slices, comparable …

It feels like you're purposefully ignoring the logical points OP gives and you just really really want to anthropomorphize AlphaGo and make us appreciate how smart it (should I say…

> Especially if that "thing" has never been analyzed before and there's no LLM-trained data on it. This is the crucial part of the comment. LLMs are not able to solve stuff that ha…

The number is small in comparison to the whole humanity, yes, but this is not at all what it's about in this post. Did you read the article? Instead, it actually is literally about…

> The money would go to the "matchmaker" who would connect people with the right people. Making friends = paying a service to find friends for me?

> One needs a few minutes of your time and gets you feeling really good at the end of the process Ah yes, and after the intercourse the child spawns, I remember. And then it just l…

But IIRC this is the same on Windows and other OSes, no? Like, I'd argue that it's the default behavior then. Also, I think it should be like that. And yes to switch between window…

It does not work as long as you stay strongly intertwined with the capitalist complex, correct. But I'd argue that in basically every region of the world, you have the choice. It m…

Yes, if you try to force a material value on everything, you will get a material value. I would pay a shit ton to have loving and supporting friends, but this is not how it works. …

> I can count those on one hand. What's the problem about that? I'd rather have my family and 1-2 close friends, and literally no one else, instead of 100 close friends that will v…

> Apart from a few, friends and family who care about you can be counted on one hand as well. It's not about the quantity but about the quality of friendships and human connection.…

I feel like that article contradicts the meaning of OPs article in almost every way. The Cracked article comes from a very neoliberal, self-optimization hustle-grind culture: work …

I mean to be fair, (1) there are replacements, AltTab and Switcher for example, and (2) why replace ot touch something that isn't broken? Cmd+Tab is supposed to switch to the next …

I resonate with OP a lot, and in my opinion, it's not about the code quality. It's about the effort that was put in, like in each LOC. I can't quite put it in words, but, like, the…

TIL that when I do anything that makes society label me as a "developer", I am not allowed to enjoy it, or feel about it in any way, as it's now a job, entirely neutral in nature, …

The biggest problem of all this crappy development in Windows and macOS is that they just threw customization out of the window. Remember Windows 98, when you could actually just r…
