Who is the artist for let there be house?

There is something nice about knowing a person felt passionate enough about a thing to accomplish it despite the ratio of effort to usefulness(?). You know… all of art.

It’s a human connection. Most of us have spent time working on something we appreciate that others don’t value. We recognize and appreciate that. Digging into and noticing the details gives us an appreciation for the effort of the creator. Did they add a delightfully unexpected bit of polish?

People appreciate “wasted” effort.

I don’t care that an AI did a good job. Maybe the first time it was impressive. The Nth time? Meh. And ideas are the easy part. We could have 1,000 “look! I made my windows look like ham” apps and no one would care. But 1 hand crafted really good “look I put a disco ball in the desktop, see how it lights up the windows from behind!” App Would be amazing.

“Make no mistakes”

It is truly arrogant of Apple to change a websites presentation, graphics, logos, and then tell website authors if you want to opt out just do XYZ.

But this Apple arrogance is also why they are Apple. And why you are using a software keyboard and a phone shaped like a dark mirror.

Mostly agreed. However, I find the motion smoothing works nice on my 30fps video games.

It’s a good article. Easy to read. You should read it.

Considering the software is much older than LLMs. Not many.

Also, in the article they mention a significant number of patches for older versions as well.

How is this a problem? And what would you propose to do about the negative symptoms of the “problem”.

One is too delayed. The other is frequent but full of crap.

I bet all your state data is buffered until the car is in public mode.

Torrenting doesn’t make anyone money. So no way to pay off senators and judges.

But can save more by dropping the refresh rate to 1hz and upping to 30, 60, 120 as needed.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. I think the +cellular is enough of a differentiator that Apple will always charge for it.

The buyer is also signing up for a monthly payment. So clearly they have the cash to make an “extra monthly payment” or two up front.

This isn’t as useless as it seems. It is a visual representation of how old the tab is. And I control what “old” is.

To put it another way, it helps me recognize which tabs I am using. And which I am saving for later without having to evaluate the content of the tab.

One tweak… the coverage percentage can it be adjustable? Max = 100% looses all information about the pages contents, except the title.

Also also… if the images can be made translucent… you can make old timey effects like yellowing and decay.

God gave us a planet to steward. That only makes sense if he also gave us a world that could be stewarded. The idea that we can’t affect our world is ignoring the responsibility placed on us.

The last 3 US elections were very close and had very different candidates with very different ideas. The closeness of the election has nothing to do with the “similarity” of any candidates. And to imply a “coin flip” would be fine is ludicrous.

I feel so incredibly fortunate that I grew up and had a hobby in what turned into a lucrative career, and that my parents supported me as best they could.

Tandy CoCo 2. Followed by a 386 20Mhz where I graduated from Basic to Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++

And… the would be the first to complain “my phone should auto adjust brightness for me whaaa”

Is it possible that some of these bugs were already exploited by governments? And AI might help use close of that kind of thing? (And expose other kinds of things , in a kind of AI arms race?)

I don’t think you are legally bound to marry. And if it stops working, divorce before resentment.

A good move is to negotiate in good faith. You show you can’t be pushed around and you are able to be civil. And most importantly, you know your worth.

Fortunately this is a false choice.

I think 78 and fine is better than 45 and 80 in pain.

But in this country we are so adverse to giving someone agency over how their life ends.

Because it’s not good Business.

If they can’t get stuff you think is easy right, it saps your trust that they got the things you think are harder right.

Centering is not easy. Apparently. It requires human eye to verify. I can prove my decryption algorithm works. I can’t prove centering works.

My hunch is they have an agenda and is willing to lie to spice up the story.

If they are not a clanker.

Right. As they said, you can’t do it 100% autonomously. A human needs to feed it.

You essentially said: you’re wrong, it is autonomous when it doesn’t need a human during one specific part of its overall usage.

I knew an old lady that swallowed a fly…

Cute.

Back in the day, I looked down my nose at other young fledgling developers that would #define true 1. I knew only clarity and woe lived down that road.

    if(5-2 == true) ;

As verbose as it was stupid.

I felt superior because I knew that #define false 0 was the only Boolean keyword hack that would work.

    if (5-2 != false) ;

Still verbose, and stupid, but at least it was correct.

These days… I don’t feel as confident about anything as I did about those #defines.

Computer nerds are a rare breed. We like to be right. And we like to be arrogant. And if we have a solution to a harmful problem… it’s your fault for not being “smart enough” and you suffer your consequences.

Maybe we aren’t so rare. I can think of another group that values enduring hardship over progress making things easier for everyone.

Not using it as a backup strategy. But it doesn’t matter. Vim has a feature, persistent undo. People are using it for whatever reason. Under your blessing or not. A different app, neovim, broke vim’s feature.

They don't get a pass because you disagree with an imagined use case.

Type A. Type B. Save. Type C. Save. How do you get back to state “A” using git?

You do not have all your states available.
