Forgive my ignorance, I was looking at this the other day, isn't this otp for gleam?

The store has lots of other tech enthusiast stuff, like a huge selection of 3D printers.

Other micro centers have a ton of employees so I'm not surprised. They're actually knowledgeable and helpful, the opposite of what Fry's had. And they're everywhere, not in a pushy sense, but just available.

> But yeah, most of the "moonshot factories" just failed to deliver anything interesting. Maybe you need constraints, market pressure?

It's funny you say that because to me it seems like bell labs was the exact opposite. Because of the antitrust ruling, there was a cap on profits, so many monies were instead funneled into green field R&D. The facility was run by people who knew how to manage a large group of capable people: put them in close proximity with other cross discipline stars, get out of their way, let their imaginations dictate the path.

Those peaky humans and their stupid quality of life needs!

Unfortunately, at least in the US, that ship has sailed, and there is zero interest in creating walkable, public-transit friendly cities.

Doing things the right way requires civic-minded effort. The average American is just way too individualistic to make a dent in this problem.

that's so sweet. :')

reminds me of my mom taking me to radio shack, so many times.

thank you for sharing.

this makes it all the more heartbreaking for those of us who grew up as teenagers, informed and molded by star Trek's techno optimism. I thought we (society) was on the right track then, at least making progress towards worthwhile things. now, all of that is just a faded memory, and society is turning into a zero sum shitscape

What a stunning thought. I always think about the sheer number of things that have to go right in order for a person to achieve scientific greatness. It is such a difficult, life long endeavor, and the path is so fraught with events that can derail.

Like even being born in the wrong country, one lacking in food or academic mobility, for example. Right off the bat, how many millions of gifted humans just died of starvation, malnutrition, in poverty, in isolation, violence, etc. All that potential just lost to time.

I would love some survey document or something that goes over all the options for these kinds of vim extensions.

It's very easy to end up in a deep rabbit hole when I tried to figure out the "one best" way.

i don't think anyone on the asahi team doesn't know that there are missing functionalities. if they're dealbreakers for anyone, fine.

what's out of line is incessant reporting (via issues, emails, whatever) of what you consider a dealbreaker. that's my impression of what he's complaining about. let the people work. no one likes to respond "not yet" a billion times.

Are you saying if Apple asked Google to sit down and come up with an encrypted RCS working group and get proper interop done, it would be _Google_ that would decline?

No one has ever cared of you're good at writing essays in the future, that was true 50 years ago.

The point of writing an essay was to (imo) get good at writing (actually assembling words cogently), thinking about a cohesive viewpoint/argument, and understanding the source material (book, novel, historical event, political concept, whatever).

I'm

I heard somewhere that globally, Mario is more recognizable by people than Mickey mouse.

I've gone back and forth on whether I believe that, but what a amazing concept if it's true! What do you think?

the fact that he will never pardon Snowden tells you all you need to know: this pardon was pandering and suits his own purposes. there are no higher principles here besides quid pro quo.

This one act was more important than the Paris agreement?

Now that you mention it, it's striking how many other networks do not mention raccoon at all.

A few interviews in this video

I use it as a somewhat more sane way of collecting my repetitive, project specific commands, without having to rely on shell history.

I'll just plop my project-specific workflows (series of shell commands) into a Justfile (that I don't commit, it's just for me). That allows me to be more rigorous and structured with how I'm iterating on a project.

It has syntax and semantics that are sufficiently saner than make, so I don't need to know a lot to be productive.

If I come back to a project after a couple weeks, I don't need to spelunk shell history. Just --list is enough to get back up to speed with how I was iterating.

The fact that many of these have exactly 0 views makes it totally plausible that the uploaders had no idea that this video existed.

Honestly, what's the point of comments like this? No shit, it's done for a personal hobby, you're not breaking new ground with that idea.

However, this is a website of opinions, and gp's opinion is valid, because this forum is where opinions go. It's not as though gp said to stop doing this project.

This pedantic finger wagging is just so rote.

Meta: I love hearing about people that take pride and care of their lawns/gardens.

Exactly how many times can "nah you're not getting what he meant" be repeated? Is anything he says anything he means?

This is moving the goal posts and completely arbitrary. There are many services that are ad supported and have a paid version without the ads.

For some reason, free and ad free YouTube seems like a birthright to so many people.

There's a different extension to auto skip the (community defined) ad segments in videos. There will always be a way.

absolutely, this should not be done at the language level. the language should not enforce "best practices", that's what the ecosystem is for.

do you have examples?

I love giving them my business when I can. I hope they're thriving, whatever that means for brick and mortar anymore.

Mobile, gps navigation, transit features, ride hailing, fuel efficient routes, pedestrian routes, live traffic, to name a few.

What kind of stuff do you find missing? Is it strictly regional/firewalled content?
