it does seem to be very much bottlenecked by performance, yes. very slow to start up, for example.

I'd argue PayPal was a successful business, not a successful piece of software.

sorry but it's funny that you mention "heart and soul" while sharing some of the most soulless videos i've ever seen.

I was resigned to playing under Ibuprofen until I heard of fastDOOM

i don't get the ibuprofen reference ?

it's comically bad. the UI is a mess, the search functionality is broken, you can't resize the window horizontally. it's feels like a hello world first project in a new language type of app.

also - it's such a bummer that they have decided to shit the bed so hard on software at a moment when their hardware lineup is arguably at its pinnacle. like, the hardware has been firing on all cylinders since M1 but the software degradation is making it less and less pleasant to use.

apple’s software is shockingly awful across the board these days.

2200 would improperly add an extra significant figure, "about 2000" would be okay.

right, seems like sort of a no brainer that if a minor version bump of an OS completely breaks JDK8, that’s on the OS developer.

My recommendation is that you don’t look at blog writing as just something people do to work on their “personal brand”. It can definitely help with that, but first and foremost it is a tool that people can use to up their game and take their knowledge and critical thinking to the next level.

These both seem like extremely bleak, unimaginative ways to view writing.

the simpler explanation is that speeding just isn’t as dangerous to pedestrians as distracted driving and sketchy intersections are, which certainly tracks with my experience as a pedestrian.

cars traveling in a straight line at any speed are pretty safe as long as they stop when they are supposed to.

edit: my second paragraph above is sort of stupid and makes the wrong point. my point, which i think is in line with this paper, is that it’s important to differentiate between “speeding” and “speed”. drivers are responsible for the former, DOTs are responsible for the latter, and the latter has more of an impact on pedestrian safety.

it’s insane to argue that the iPhone 15 isn’t radically different from the iPhone 1. since 2007 smartphones have become capable of replacing so many of the separate gadgets people used to have. cameras and mp3 players (and phones!!) are basically a thing of the past thanks to the iPhone. i’m bearish on Apple Vision but if Apple can improve it at the same rate as the iPhone it will be here to stay imo

doctors are all completely insane and should never be trusted. the process of getting into and through medical school has a selection bias towards type-a sociopaths. and whoever makes it through that wringer and gets board certified has to be constantly on guard for malpractice lawsuits. half sarcastic but mostly i do believe this lol

in what ways have we not already returned to normality?

what does “to be very clear” mean in this context? your article doesn’t clarify anything lol

yes! try to learn anything related to home maintenance and it feels like youtube is your only option. and you are stuck trying to scrub through a 20 minute video to find the 10 second slice on info you’re looking for.

i think you’re misunderstanding what GDP (gross domestic product) means. it’s basically a measure of the total revenue in a country’s economy. it has nothing to do with “productivity” in the sense of efficiency.

no cumin mentioned though. that seems to be the highest volume spice in most Indian curry recipes I've seen.

seems very odd. the issue was that when Git marked lines in a file as being in conflict then the file was no longer a valid Jupyter file. and their solution was... to change the language so that Git's conflict syntax is valid?

i tried to add a lil laughing emoji to indicate that my comment was in jest but apparently those get stripped out of comments? my bad.

what's a pull request?

coffee stain is incredible lol

noob question: is there not a way for the client to verify that it is actually talking to google.com in a situation like this? I would think there would be some way to verify based on certs or something like that.

what does first party password management look like?

but if you stop renting from the registrar then whoever rents the domain next gets access to your email. seems like a horrible solution to this problem. at least i can be reasonably confident that google will never recycle my email address and send all incoming mail to a rando.
