The vi family 2 months ago

I use vim because it's addictive. And that's the highest compliment I can think of when it comes to user interfaces.

My fingers just love it. Every time I need to jump to a non-modal editor my muscle memory screams: "WTF?!"

Googlebook 2 months ago

I sooooo want to buy it and have every single keyboard stroke, mouse and eye movement tracked.

I don't know about you but these AIs ran out of internet data to train and I volunteer all my blood, sweat, tears and movements to improve them.

Just Use Go 2 months ago

Go probably wouldn't exist if Java devs went easy on overengineering design patterns.

But overall Java, like Go, IS a boring language. And that's a compliment.

First politics. Now businesses. This sounds like a wildly poorly written parody by teenagers.

"reduce Cloudflare’s workforce by more than 1,100 employees globally."

Are they 1) halting all the 1111 interns, 2) keeping the 1111 interns, now armed with AI, to replace mid-level/senior institutional knowledge or 3) a mix?

A city can also exist in multiple zip codes.

Sure but a zip code belongs to only one city and one state, right?

Same here. Asimov threw a veiled tantrum.

He did not have the science fictional knack of foreseeing a plausible future and, in actual fact, in almost all cases, the world of 1984 bears no relation to the real world of the 1980s.

Asimov refuses to concede that Orwell beat him at his game. The book is not about predicting future gadgets but societal patterns and operating models.

Eat Real Food 7 months ago

Red meat is good for you. Animal fat is good for you.

Sugar is the real enemy.

Nobody sane wants to use their shoddy products.

Their office products can't even agree having the same menu options for the same functionality.

People use them out of corporate inertia: Windows laptops are cheaper than Macs and that brings the whole office suite in.
