The design is really cool, but the tool is useless (to me) if I can't use it offline and store the data on my own hardware. For some reason everyone in this space is building cloud tools!
ptato··on Twitter makes it harder to choose the old reverse-chronological feed
I don't know anyone who uses Mastodon, and whenever I've tried it every instance seems barren. I would love to ditch Twitter though.
ptato··on Make the internet yours again with an instant mesh network
where is it used in Minecraft? I've played that game for years and I don't know what you're talking about
ptato··on Bevy's First Birthday: a year of open source Rust game engine development
I'd say this is Godot's biggest mistake. I appreciate and respect the work that has been put into it, but whenever I go back to try it I bounce right off the moment I need to import a 3D model. Either animations don't work, or the materials are off, or some other minor thing that I can't figure out how to fix because there are a ton of buttons and the documentation is too short. There is no good workflow.
ptato··on On Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children” – A Personal Story
What does "LGBT training" mean? What I gather is that what they are teaching kids is, in essence, "be kind to each other". Do these families that are protesting not have the same biases against gay people that the person I originally responded to has?
ptato··on On Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children” – A Personal Story
Nobody is forcing people to change their gender or brainwashing children with homosexual propaganda. You should examine your biases.
ptato··on Neovim 0.5 is overpowering
I find that I never want "map" functionality, so I do the opposite, always use "noremap".
ptato··on The anus is an evolutionary marvel
Yes, at least in Spain. The spanish wikipedia lists a bunch of the variants [0]. I personally use -ino/a, as it is common where I grew up, but my favorite way of saying "puppy" is "perrete".

ptato··on Things you can’t do in Rust (and what to do instead)
Wouldn't a Box<&'a str> put the reference itself, not the contents, in the heap?
ptato··on Things you can’t do in Rust (and what to do instead)
It works, but it isn't what they want. The compiler won't allow borrowing the str slices from the owned String field.
ptato··on Instagram, Twitter blame glitches for deleting Palestinian posts
The left hates what? The left profess to like indigenous people from where? It's interesting how people make weird sweeping statements like this that mean nothing and have no relation to any definition of left. I guess if you say that someone believes something nonsensical, it makes them look like the unreasonable one?
ptato··on Inheritance was invented as a performance hack
Maybe not on every situation, but I do agree that inheritance is more elegant in a lot of situations, in the sense that it gets some behaviour "out of the way".
ptato··on Inheritance was invented as a performance hack
Would that copy-paste code ever amount to more than some getter methods, like the get_speed() example you provided? If the speed field had some special behaviour, couldn't you wrap it in its own Speed type, with its own methods, and use that from the enclosing types?

ptato··on Show HN: Redbean – Single-file distributable web server

How much faster is it for you guys? I legitimately can not tell the difference.
ptato··on How to Revive a Dead Language
Language is culture, and language is identity
ptato··on The Architecture of My Life
The author's name sounds something like Dutch or Swedish to me. Most european countries use dots to separate the thousands, and commas to separate decimals.
ptato··on YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel
Why is it that whenever a prominent right wing figure gets banned (or similar), all that right wingers can answer is whataboutism?

very beautiful, thank you for sharing :)

this is a great idea, and that's precisely why twitter would never implement it
ptato··on What Comes After Zoom?
> video communication [...] is more information dense than text

this has never been my experience. group meetings devolve into explaining the same thing in many different ways, for every item that is discussed.
