I found the default ones annoying, and just `Please wait...` was too boring, so I asked claude-code to comb the web for common criticism and now you can see things like `Hallucinating ...` when you wait for your prompt results.

Noob question: isn't it kind of defeating the main purpose of SQLite? Meaning having db running in the same process as the program?

That's true if you talk about content posted on those subs. But I'm yet to be banned from a conservative sub just because I'm involved in wrong other sub. I once posted on a sub criticizing vaccines, my post was not even friendly to the post- I was debunking flawed logic. And I got autobanned in few other places just for posting there.

I have high hopes for the Thunderbird resurrection. I was using it in the 2000s but then Gmail was just so convenient. I hope to make the switch back

I recently had to rent a car, and oh boy. I knew I need to set up mirrors etc for safety. But I did not foresee the need to familiarize myself with a radio. And when it started blasting a little too loud, finding a volume option on the touchscreen was an adventure when driving on a road i couldn't immediately stop on.

I'm never buying touchscreen car...

40 seems early for a "mental decline" (or so I'm telling myself at 38), but maybe consider a full checkup? Physical and mental maybe?

Do you have any thoughts about how they help with breaking? The "rotation of the wheel rotates the chain" makes me think they'll not help during breaking that much. They would probably slip from under the tire, and the next chain would not go under...

This text captures how I felt about this stuff, but could not put it in words. The "art" feels empty, repetitive, derivative. The text sounds like BS, like a student trying to make up the answer as they go. Today someone in my work channel posted a ChatGPT's text about our company and ompetitors. It was all wrong, but sounds "probable".

Thank you!

"Real time relationships: the logic of love" (https://amzn.to/3eEwMqj) the best self-knowledge book that I've read so far. Helped me with better communication with my loved ones.

I view strict DRY (and only DRY) adherence asa sign of less experienced devs. I was like this in my early days, almost religiously following this creating wrong abstractions. Thanks a lot for those examples.

This one flew right above me, what does that mean? It's it something like driving open convertible is referred to as fresco? Where I come from fresco was just a brand of cheap wine that students drank when we dabbling in sophistication an inch above vodka and beer...

Absent fathers and broken family units are major factors for many social ills. It’s obvious but no one wants to talk about it.

This is just not true. It's almost constantly talked about, it's even a trope in movies, jokes, singers saying about it.

What is really not discussed is the other side of the equation. Who chooses those men?

Are women equally capable to make moral choices (I believe they are). Or are they just kind-of-sentient robots that are programmed to have kids, will grab any man that will make them pregnant and deserve only compassion when that "random choice" does not turn out to be a good dad?

I think (in terms of culture) this is closer (than what the author claims) to the truth: Complain about men not pulling their weight. Never mention women responsibility. It's taboo to discuss it openly in a good faith. So now we have a fringe claiming men are only victims of women evil, which is another side of this stupid-coin. We can't meet in the middle anymore.

I remember W3schools being an excellent resource closer to the beginning of my career (a decade ago?), but now I barely ever enter. But I always thought it's me who outgrew it not that it became worse...

I wonder if the constant cat and mouse play between Google algorithm updates and dark SEO optimizers could be fixed by a plethora of search engines without one specific dominant one?

I think designer's easily forget that trends exist, and what people want is a mix of what's useful but also new and popular.

Ending up in a monopoly.

Really? Can you share more about this mechanism?

I actually noticed someone opposite (are maybe it's the same mechanism) in the area I live in:

House sale prices are rising like everywhere else, but rents stay mostly flat.

I'd love to learn more about it.

Even the thought that anything would be communicated

The fact that the director of communication never says he disagrees with the actual sentiment tells me all I need to know about their culture.

He's either confused and claims he doesn't know what the email in question is. Or he's expressing disappointment about the communication.

He is against communicating such things, but he failed to communicate that tearing people that way is disgusting.

I feel slightly annoyed TBH. If it was supposed to be used only for fonts why does the system allow using it for (almost?) everything else. I'd say people understand CSS very well, but sometimes have deadlines and legacy code and don't have time for redoing the system perfectly (just as Steven and his CSS yeah did not)

Very happy to see new editors coming up, and extra happy for Linux support. Nice!

I think stripe is close to having decent API in this regard

I think you're correct on the oxygen. If the atmosphere is richer in it you will just breathe shower or shallower. If you try breathing to fast for your body needs you might faint. I think it's called hyperventilation and it's not pleasant.

But that's exactly the point. DDG is in no position to verify any of it. We need to learn this cycle on our own skin: Read something, get outraged, then read a study proving it was false, learn not to get automatically outraged. Repeat.

Censoring is keeping adults in informational childhood state.

What was presented as shelling of women's hospital by Ukrainian side is presented as shelling of evacuated hospital building that was being used to station troops.

I'm not going to try to answer the question who is lying here. But I do prefer to see both sides' cases. I think it could help with the tribal ecstasy everyone seems to be in at the moment.

That's not great. Fortunately there are plenty search engines to switch to.

"People didn't figure out why we need distributed ledger"

Means rather Gabe didn't figure it out, the team didn't understand how it works, and for burned. The reasons for distributed ledger are actually quite obvious.

Most long term solutions don't work in short term, but you need to start them some day. One of the reasons why Russia attacked is weak, corrupt Ukrainian government. Other is economic dependency making everyone think twice before retaliating.

Isn't it the shortest path from Belarus to Kiev though Chernobyl? Is that really any other message than: they will approach Kiev or even try to capture it?

I find this quote they interesting

called the project "fundamentally destabilizing".[192]

As we see today, the situation is not that terribly stable.
