No I think that "everything poops" is absolutely perfect. Poop is entropy, and everything turns into entropy eventually.

It might not be traditional poop as we know it, but the point is, no matter how far we go one day, no matter what/who we meet out there, no matter how much we advance, there will always be waste to manage.

Waste might be literal poop, waste heat, spent uranium, used oil, slag from a smelter or whatever. We might be perfect recyclers one day, and we might repurpose almost everything, but there will always be a little bit of "poop" left over to manage.

1) You literally call Excalidraw a "wonky looking tool".

2) You claim you don't understand why people use it.

3) You claim your vibecoded substitute is more "normal" implying Excalidraw is abnormal.

The colloquial term for these services/devices in Ireland is "dodgy box", alluding to the box of shady origins you hook up to your tv.

I'm pretty sure most users know that using the service is... "dodgy".

Paying for this via a bank is just asking for trouble!

Can AI pause execution and step through the code line by line? Because that's what I think your parent comment is referring to.

I have reverted to using mermaid where we are beyond the ideation phase. Then the mermaid code can live next to the document source, and I need not search for the original diagram file to edit and export. Confluence has a nice mermaid plugin.

That way, the diagram source and

The best way to drive adoption to your product is to not shit on someone else's labour of love. Just a little pro-tip.

I got my last job there, and I have a steady queue of recruiters reaching out the whole time. So I will probably continue to use it as long as I need to eat. I don't engage with the feed at all though.

I believe the same applies to many others as well

> chrome on a thinkpad

This is akin to saying "browser on a computer". Need to be more specific.

How horrible and hacky must your underlying OS subsystems be if you can't even get consistent corner radii for all windows?

Apple tv is available on my chromecast?

I have a chromecast with google tv plugged into mine. Not sure what it's called these days. Chromecast Home?

It comes with a super minimalist remote that does volume and a d-pad and on/off and a remappable netflix button. My tv's original remote is... Somewhere. It's been more than a year since I've needed it.

Both the chromecast and my xbox uses hdmi-cec to instruct the tv to "switch your input to me". The chromecast remote controls the tv volume directly.

I have an Emby media server on the network, and I use the emby app on the chromecast to play content. I'm also a sellout so we have the standard streaming apps on there as well.

It's a truly god-tier setup and it works so well.

> Can the hearing be selectively bad for some frequencies within the standard 20-20000 range, and normal for the others?

Yes. Your ears are acoustic filters just like microphones and speakers. When you get your ears tested, you get a chart that looks suspiciously like a speaker/mic response chart. Frequency in the x, db attenuation in the y.

So a person with bad ears could have fine hearing below say 5 khz, but with a sharp cut-off beyond that. Or it could be any other way round. Or you could have a notch in the middle. Calibrated hearing aids just take this chart and boost the frequencies your ears are attenuating. You can eq your own sound equipment based on the chart, to get a result that compensates for your ears.

They'll take your money, and you'll be contributing to wine.

It looks like they do commercial wine projects. Might cost more than a coffee a day tho!

Not just ancient games!

By the time we get to version 40k the kernel will just be AI hallucinating a UI for you at 60fps.

Secondly, I do acknowlege your 40k reference.

I agree with this take. Wine/Proton might become something akin to a runtime for games, running on many platforms and consoles. This means devs might stop targeting windows directly, but rather they target wine and you'll need that for your games on Windows.

Why do you have a powerplant?

I think you need to read the post you are responding to again.

Do you have a source for that 5% claim? I was under the impression that batteries are mostly recycled these days, especially EV batteries.

I only use public fast charging when on a long road trip. So the 30 min charge always coïncides with me emptying my bladder, so it's never been a hassle.

I often refer to it as RNGesus.

Ice car engines also sometimes grenade themselves for no reason sometimes. Same story: too expensive to fix and on cheaper cars that means a write off.

Lithium batteries are highly recyclable, so is all the copper in the motor. I can promise you that fiat will never en on a landfill battery and all.

Public charging can easily be 2x or 3x as expensive.

I charge my car with the granny charger dangling out the window next to where I park. Been doing so for 2 years now. I have some high density foam packed in the window crack to keep the cold out. Im in Ireland.

Do you not charge at home? I charge at home 99% of the time. I only really need the public infra when I'm going to the big city, or when going on a roadtrip.

I charge with the granny charger at home.

I think GP's point is that a chromebook is a perfectly cromulent apternative to windows, running normal ChromeOS, for users looking for a simple web/docs/email machine.

It doesn't have the haptic trackpad and I feel liek that's a dealbreaker.

Yep, this is the one
