It's a reference to an XKCD comic https://xkcd.com/1172/ that pokes fun at users with strong attachments to some software behaviours and/or interfaces.

Also, it looks like you are one of today's lucky 10,000 ! https://xkcd.com/1053/

I am amazed people are staying so calm and civil in this comment thread.

Do you use your space bar to handle heating ?

If you ever became frustrated while typing:

Hey, that's me ! (And I love systemd !)

I haven't installed it yet so quick question: can it connect to remote host ? I often use systemctl --host <hostname> status foo.service (status, timers, logs etc. )

> In English, it seems to be called rednote.

I know someone who speaks Chinese and uses that app. The name in Chinese Xiaohongshu clearly translates to "Little Red Book," and they're confused how anyone got "Red Note" out of it.

I'll tell you a funny one like that in another language:

Instagram reels are well... short-form videos usually with music/audio and effects.

It's pronounced something like "real" but longer.

Anyway, in French that word "reel" is printed the same but since most people don't practice spoken English it's read and pronounced "réel". Something like ray-hell (notice the é). And it annoys me to no eeeend :D.

So, among French-speaking community management crews and social network teams you hear "réel"/ray-hell all the time instead of "reel".

And how do you translate "réel" into English ? You guessed it: it's "real".

I think a great deal of harm is done in this world by people looking at other people suffering and either convincing themselves or being convinced that there's a greater systemic reason why those people need to suffer.

Is that the "just world hypothesis" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_fallacy ?

When I check tutorials on how to drill in the wall, there is (almost) no warning about how I could lose a finger doing so. It is expected that I know I should be careful around power tools.

I think the analogy and the example work better when the warning is that you should be careful when drilling in walls because there may be an electrical wire that will be damaged.

I do wordpress dev at the moment and there are some blade template and I don't know how use autocomplete/LSP to hunt down functions/methods used in blade templates.

Makes me sad :(.

At least xdebug works.

That scenario could be made of very long stretch of times. Gold is a shelter value (or so was I told). Hard to use as a currency (you need to buy small parts that can be divided easily - coins or ingots) and hard to hide/protect.

HN loves their acronyms. They sometimes say it's because they were on mobile but I don't believe it.

Wouldn't that just ends up re-inventing XML and <xsl:include> ?

That is actually the focus of my question and comment:

> *I threw away my smartphone 4-ish months ago,*

*What did you replace it with* (if you did edit: scratch that, I brain froze and was thinking of "did you replace it with a regular phone") ? Most accounts I read of people ditching their smartphones mentioned they started carrying an ultra light laptop or small candy bar computer (for instance). Basically increasing inconvenience to reduce usage.

Now if you could stop hijacking the thread and assuming I don't know smartphones can be tweaked that'd be cool.

That's not the point. The focus here is on removing the smartphone out of the system, not removing features from the smartphone.

Not that I am aware of. But I am trying to adopt some ADHD strategies to better handle some anxiety related problems.

As someone who was a past military jet pilot and navigator, the one thing I still notice I have is an uncanny unconscious/subconscious sense of time. It's not perfect, but I rarely sleep through alarms and if I intend to wake up at a certain time, I have about an 85 percent chance of waking up, looking over at my phone, and seeing 1-2 minutes prior. If I'm going something like cooking in the kitchen, I still set timers, but often get an uncomfortable feeling of "you should go check that" that's within a minute or two.

It's interesting, I have the same ability: waking up 2-5 minutes before the alarm clock, feeling the washing machine or the oven alarm will ring in 20 seconds~2 minutes. I am rarely off and when I am it's by a huge margin. But I have no background or job or hobby history that would have helped fine tuned that. I also don't rely on it, I often set timers.

Does it handle content security policies ?

I understand what you're saying, people framework hop and what's popular does change frequently, but we're not all using Frontpage still, are we?

yeah, we switched to WordPress. I am glad we didn't follow up on our web agency 5 years ago to switch to gasby. Our wordpress is still running fine. I am glad we are not considering switching to Astro, since wordpress will still be there in 5 years.

In minority report there's a scene (https://youtu.be/NwVBzx0LMNQ?t=43) in a forensic/detective office in which MC swipes data and info on the screen (hologram ?) with their hands. Then at some point another character moves a physical object (data drive ?) from one desk to another and at first I am thinking "yeah, right.. no network to move data from one screen to the other, uh ?".

But then I remind myself of this passage from Virtual lights (Gibson):

Was it significant that Skinner shared his dwelling with one who earned her living at the archaic intersection of information and geography? The offices the girl rode between were electronically conterminous-in effect, a single desktop, the map of distances obliterated by the seamless and instantaneous nature of communication.

Yet this very seamlessness, which had rendered physical mail an expensive novelty, might as easily be viewed as porosity, and as such created the need for the service the girl provided. Physically transporting bits of information about a grid that consisted of little else, she provided a degree of absolute security in the fluid universe of data.

With your memo in the girl's bag, you knew precisely where it was; otherwise, your memo was nowhere, perhaps everywhere, in that instant of transit.

I had a flat file blog hobby project that would take ATOM documents and run them through XSLT to render the whole website, all on client side.

Really ? Right in front of my lemmy username ?

Oooh, bogosort led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort and divine sort:

Divine sort A sorting algorithm that takes a list and decides that because there is such a low probability that the list randomly occurred in its current permutation (a probability of 1/n!, where n is the number of elements), there must have been a reason for the list's order. Therefore, it should be considered sorted in a way we don't understand, and we do not have any right to sort it to our beliefs, as if it were sorted "as God intended." Also known as Intelligent Design sort.[11]

Ah, I see. Yes, there needs to be a strong influence (lobbies, advertising, governments, religion, cultural leaders, etc.).

I supposed I am getting older and that's the reason but I recently tried playing Horizon Zero Dawn LEGO and Cyberpunk and... the lightning was too much. I can't focus on what matters on the screen (can hardly find the hot spots), to the point where I'd tried to lower the quality settings to have less lightning elements and flatter textures. I noticed for those games that I really need high FPS (>60) otherwise I can't focus well enough.

Could you elaborate on why it's relevant (or missing) ? I can think of different but opposite reasons and I can't tell if your comment is a rebuttal or in support.

You're asking for global human behavior changes. Does that seem realistic?

https://www.lung.org/research/trends-in-lung-disease/tobacco....

    Long term, smoking rates have fallen 73% among adults, from 42.6% in 1965 to 11.6% in 2022.
    Over the last five years, smoking rates have fallen 17% among adults, from 14.0% in 2017.

My bad, I was tired and somehow thought of linting as "make that code pretty", not bug reporting.

Can't linting just be disabled ?
