- How about a site which parses your credit card / bank statement to find out where you're spending money and provides tips to save cash based on that spending (which could be sourced from community submissions + voting)
E.g. I buy supermarket gift cards from a slightly obscure site which sells them at a 5% discount. Super easy way to save a few hundred dollars a year. The hardest thing was discovering that this was an option.
- While I agree with your general sentiment, the 10 key being on the "wrong" side could be good, perhaps, in some cases?
Historically I've done some heavy spreadsheet work where the resting position of my hands which minimizes movement is right hand on the mouse, left hand on the 10 keys. On a normal keyboard that has the disadvantage of causing a "closed" posture which isn't entirely comfortable.
Outside of that kind of niche use case though, it definitely feels like a strange choice for developers.
- In the spirit of genuine curiosity, who is making you feel like less of a person wrt the choice of main/master, and how are they doing that?
It sounds like you're saying that git maintainers are intending for you to feel like less of a person because you don't agree with their choice, but I don't understand how you arrived at that conclusion.
- A train can go from "cruising speed" to letting passengers off to escape a fire in about a minute.
A plane might take anywhere from five minutes to several hours to be able to safely let passengers out.
Personally I feel that's a good enough reason to impose more robust restrictions on Things Which May Cause Fire on planes compared to trains. Especially in the case of lithium batteries where they're more or less impossible to extinguish one they're going.
- > most people in my life react negatively if I express emotion that what they are doing is upsetting
Right. I guess they feel accused, as though you're attacking their behaviour rather than sharing how it makes you feel, and instinctively become defensive in response?
It's wonderful to meet people who don't think this way. My partner is incredible at this, I can tell her "when you X I feel Y" and know without a doubt her reaction will come from a place of trying to work together to understand whether the problem and solution exist in X, Y or both.
- The recommended 3 second gap is a much bigger distance than most people recognise, especially at high speed.
On another note- I feel sad that you could tell your mate "the way you're driving is making me uncomfortable" and be met with basically "your discomfort isn't valid because [technology] so I won't change my behaviour".
- > Close your eyes (not yet! Finish this sentence first) and try to remember what color your color theme uses for class names? Can you? If the answer for both questions is “no”, then your color theme is not functional.
I'm sure this varies person-to-person, but for me at least this is not a good test.
I couldn't list the notes in Clair De Lun, but I'd certainly notice if I heard the wrong note played. In much the same way, I have no idea what color classes are in my theme, but I certainly notice when it's wrong.
- As someone with no understanding of whatever this field is, it reminds me of the Retro Encabulator
- It's a "paperclips" situation.
Someone vibe coded this with the prompt "write a webapp which shows the effects of rising sea level as accurately as possible". The AI decided that the way to determine the outcome as accurately as possible was to simply cause the rising sea level and observe the result.
- The "thinking & coding" vs "thinking & fixing" graph is interesting. I've found this to be the case recently as I've been trying out Codex. I expected to spend a lot of time fixing the AI's code. Weirdly that has led to me spending a long time fixing issues which turn out to be nothing to do with the code.
Most recently I was struggling to get an authentication setup working. I spent at least an hour combing through the code looking for the mistake. The issue turned out to be that the VM I was working on had a broken ipv6 configuration.
- I said "pivot point", as in the center of rotation. All rotations have a pivot point.
- GP is talking about third person perspective games. "You" (the character you're playing) aren't the camera. You are the character the camera points to.
The camera is hovering somewhere above/behind the player character. To move the field of view left while keeping the player centered in the FOV, the camera has to translate/orbit right.
- I played a lot of DOTA2 in the past and I've often thought that big tech could learn something from Valve's patch notes. Especially in the context of process changes, stuff you should know, etc. Expecting folk to read a series of lengthy emails/blog posts to stay up to date is unrealistic.
