Why do I feel good when I avoid stepping on the pavement cracks?

It’s one of the most mind blowing man-made things I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it.

I was never as into Ween as some of my friends were, but The Mollusk is a masterpiece IMO.

It’s kinda like Mr Bungle - California. If you can casually make an album of pop music that good, you have my eternal respect, even if I never fully get into the less approachable work.

Let the cat feast

Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.

My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

How can I add words to this sentence without adding information?

Just keep the door and you’re creating even more jobs in the door factory.

That’s how you keep score in bowling.

That’s insane. Even if they did this intentionally to be as difficult as possible, they locked themselves out of being able to detect long presses?

That part is JE quoting something Kotick said. That’s why the other person is responding to JE and mocking him for it.

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

Don’t let Ted Turner microsoft deface my movie open source software with his crayons slop machine

This is what I needed from this thread. I already know I need a bidet, but the ball sounds way more fun.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

I think the beauty of Emacs is not that it gives you a text editor, but that it gives you a lisp environment.

PC LOAD LETTER

It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

The genie produces code at a pace no human reviewer can match. Coding isn’t the bottleneck anymore. I can explore three different implementations before lunch. I can refactor aggressively because the cost of trying something is so low.

Gross

If coding was the bottleneck, there was something badly wrong and AI is not the solution.

That’s not to say it’s the fault of the devs who are using AI, but we obviously haven’t given them the languages and libraries they need to express themselves concisely.
