Spending disposable money on hobbies is fine


interesting


A link in the middle of the article leads to a rather detailed explanation of why they’re rewriting binder. Pretty decent read.


The hardware itself is probably already a loss leader.
If they wanted it to launch with Half-Life 3, they would have had to start working on it like five years ago.


I been thinking about donating plasma on the side just to get one of those.
The problem is the actual return on time is poor. I could probably make more of her hour walking around, offering to shovel people’s driveways when it snows.


Maybe.
I think the pushback stems from a bunch of different things.
It’s genuinely bad at some things. asking it to make a clock out of CSS and HTML is mostly awful.
Historically, it’s been really bad at everything. So if someone hasn’t done a serious dive on it recently, they’re going to have the impression that it’s even worse than it really is.
A lot of people don’t understand how to use it, a lot of times it’s like working with a monkey’s paw. You’ve got to pre-guess all the things that could go wrong and keep adding detail until it has no choice but to do it right. And even then, you have to come back and do iterations sometimes.
It’s making a bunch of oligarchs extremely wealthy, for no good reason, on the backs of the working class, while we can barely buy RAM. At the same time, they’re burning through a hell of a lot of natural resources.
They’re shoving options and features down our throats and making us pay for them even if we don’t want to use them.
Some people are genuinely scared that corporations will use it to replace skiled labor with unskilled labor, which they are.
I have seen advanced versions rewrite an entire cross-platform basic interpreter in a couple of tries.
I lost a rather complicated Python program I wrote to manage projectors for my Halloween display. I had it make a framework. I went through all of my different options and modes one at a time and explained exactly how they needed to work. I recreated a couple of weeks of work in a couple of hours and added a significant number of features.
It’s crap like make that admin page look good on a cell phone that’s absolutely bananas. That’s a feature I would never have the time to sit down and work on because it’s not that big of a deal. But it would literally be a day of trial and error on multiple test devices for me to write it myself.
Would it be better received if it were marketed differently? Probably a little bit. But not beyond the things that I wrote about. It would be a subtle improvement in visibility I feel.


They’re doomed to rust in peace eventually.
There are way too many completely compatible alternatives.
ehh, let the votes sort em out :)
Again, who cares enough to bother?
I think it’s marketing overreach. christmas->snow->snow animals->penguins
I do find it strange that there are less polar bears than penguins in Christmas decorations in NA

English is * the last language that should complain; unfortunately, 54% of the US population has a literacy level below that of a 6th-grade student.

hey, VoteNixon just ran over it, Firefly is the one that brought it into the world and threw it into traffic :)
I love this
Because god forbid someone reposts an image here from Reddit that had been censored. what a travisty :)
Strangest fucking hill to die on.

There’s a mickey mouse one about to come out that was called mickey mouse trap, but they managed for convince them to change the name to the mouse trap
wait until copyright expires and someone will make a horror movie about it :P


I run a pi-hole on a pi 3 and another in a container in docker. Something rarely goes wrong with both and I have a script that sync them.
I replaced their google with searxng, but in the end, they needed ads for their free to play games, so I had to turn it off for them.
inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily.
Let’s just check for alcohol and opiates.
You also need to cook 2,3 in this state, or you just crush all the cells in your mouth and end up with 4.
