But OP asked for content not about AI. If you have content not about AI, wouldn't that be more helpful and to the point of the request?

We're drowning in AI slop and slop about AI, someone asked for a bit of reprieve, and you reply with direct link to your post about AI.

EDIT: I see you edited your comment ;-) I'll leave mine, but I'm not feeling inspired. Maybe others will be. Good luck!

OP asked for blogs not about AI. You shared a blog you wrote about AI.

God. "Freedom of speech" and "free of abuse?" Sounds like a nightmare! Liberals!!

Where are the spaces anymore to be outlandishly an asshole and shut other people down?! :-|

I have trouble caring about what someone says about typography when they've chosen abnormally excessive letterspacing which makes reading awkward and effortful.

Implying "instead of path B, which is good for your child, do path A, which is bad for your child, to prevent A from becoming an even worse option?"

I think the gotchas aren't for the early adopters and power users. It's for the people who will eventually make up the larger, more lucrative percentage of their user base starting with the friends and family of early adopters who are recommended to it.

Once they're set up with it, the idea of "importing and exporting between dozens of password managers" is meaningless. And gotchas aren't always limitations but can be "positive" like well meaning features, integrations, your company using it (so you too), etc. Lock-in comes in many forms.

Users do. I spent a whole summer A/B testing an app's landing page to get 10+% more conversions. Over 50 experiments, the biggest win was having a hero image. Its actual content didn't matter as long as it was a photo and featured humans. And the more screen space it took the better. Probably different for different markets and apps, but yeah from my experience users love em.

While I agree with "not wanting separatism," I find it infuriating that the burden of analyzing and debating "separatism" (or etc) always gets foisted on the minority or marginalized populations create a space for themselves. And relatively never the mainstream, dominant culture and institutions that have left out, pushed out, or outright exploited them in the first place.

The author literally gives an individual reason why about half the books should be read by everyone and the other half by many based on their interests. What are your objections?

Not original commenter, but some examples of Android's superior UI/UX: - "Back" action is consistent and not in a different spot in each app. - Notifications are more actionable, organized, and clear. - Actions tend to be more clear and discoverable. On ios apps you need to try swiping, clicking, holding, and pinching seemingly random elements to "discover" basic actions. I forgot which app, but one of Apples literally starts you on some screens scrolled a little...and you have to guess you can scroll UP to find extra info and options. - So many extra steps to do anything. E.g. you can turn on/off wifi in quick settings for both, but on Android you can get to your wifi settings by long pressing the quick settings button, but in ios you have to open and navigate through settings. - Can't arrange app icons as flexibly or have widgets on home screen. - ios notification panel has like 3 different modes all with different capabilities and purposes depending on how you open it. - The app settings are ridiculous to navigate in ios. Sometimes they're in app, sometimes in the settings app's app settings pages, and iirc, sometimes in separate settings app pages altogether (e.g. I think permissions or accessibility settings per-app have a whole 'nother place to find them. - Notification page search bar has really poor, irrelevant results that display above the web results you really want. - Scrolling on ios is slower and more jittery than Android these days which surprises me. - Apps look squished and busy with text with ios' UI. Not always clear what's a button, what's swipable, whether you're deeply nested in navigation or at the top, etc. - ios seems to skip loading indicators and just show empty screens, which is really frustrating. - Very subjective but ios emojis have a pseudo-realistic creepy vibe and icky feel to me.

Etc, etc, I have more but I'll stop there :-/ I love my MacBook and use ios for a few professional needs, but ios feels almost unusable in comparison as an everyday device to me.

Fwiw, "rape x" is exactly what I read your email as before I read the other comment saying the same.

Yes to Colemak! Easier transition from Qwerty, more efficient ergonomics, most common shortcuts are the same or similarly positioned! I switched about 14 years ago and so happy I did.

What happens when someone spends all their labor-earned money on whiskey or oxy and consumes it all and is then hungry?

You'd rather an ad-network, or you just expect people to share, give, and benefit you for free, or...is there another option? Kudos to the author for providing value and getting compensated.

The U.S. (and others') military may be, by definition, a resource that isn't inherently good or bad. But the military is most certainly good or bad in actuality (i.e. the real world) according to many peoples' definition. I can see how anyone could use that as justification.

I'd say by any definition of "We can at least all agree on a definition" that I'd accept, we can either all agree on the definition of both or neither.

If both, we're discussing this in a context that prefers practicality and meaningful discourse. If neither, we're discussing in a context that prefers pedantry and academic hogwash. Otherwise, if one but not the other, maybe we're getting the worst of both worlds ️

Why can't I navigate the world without running across hideous, overly sexualized imagery of women at irrelevant, random times?

Neat contribution! You guessed one thing, someone else guessed another, but they were wrong, and you were right! Yay on @pavlov. Boo on them.

I slept on a hammock for years indoors slung between two huge hooks I screwed into my walls.

It took a couple weeks before I fully adjusted. One nice thing is that when I went camping or on a three month bike trip, I had my every-night bed with me! It felt so luxurious!

I loved it, and if I was single, I'd still be sleeping in a hammock every night.

"Reddit is a links aggregator" feels pretty inaccurate. Some subreddits, especially the big and lowest common denominator ones may be mostly link sharing, but most of the ones I'm on are communities sharing questions, opinions, jokes, images, and stories.

Immediately obvious it's probably a pun but as a native English speaker, I can't tell if it's: - a blog author saying they personally can't support the sale, calling out icann who presumably sold it - icann just approved it ('t typo) - icann can't approve it (legally or something) - icann won't approve it

Um, yes. A toxic environment is toxic.

Whether someone who isn't as threatened by the toxicity "bucks up" and lets it roll off their back or even participates or not. It's still toxic.

E.g. don't tell me "racism isn't toxic except that you're sensitive and choose to be offended by it."

Ya. As someone who plays acoustic piano, guitar, ukulele, and ocarina...using MIDI 1.0 to connect my electronic gear hasn't created any latency that's noticeable to me.

Sure if you're sending things to and back through a DAW or whatnot it can get noticeable, but that's processing/software time, not MIDI 1.0.

I can't tell the difference between a 320kbps mp3 and FLAC either, but I'm not worried about it.

No burn, but having worked outside the domain of autonomous robots, I'm willing to place the blame on an autonomous robot issue

Just out of curiosity, where does your experience with "non-STEM university and grad settings" come from that you are judging and contrasting it so harshly with STEM?

Seems like you've been in higher level STEM settings and your experience outside of that has been low level electives, you've had limited and unusually poor samples, or you're just speaking out of bias for (presumably) your own path in life.

I don't think people who are not "STEM" are generally going around navigating the world and school like uninformed, idiot freshman who don't know how to participate in their own education... At least not any more then people in STEM are ;-)

Huh. Is it just me? I couldn't make it through more than a screen of this post because of the author's ego that seemed to be spilling out the sides of their mouth.

I didn't "read to the end" like admonished, so not sure if it was meant to be humorous.
