sorrythanks··on Org Mode syntax is one of the most reasonable markup languages for text (2017)
this is so true. i wrote a document in org and i'm still in the hospital after crashing into someone's markdown file
sorrythanks··on Marko – A declarative, HTML‑based language
Unless the designer removes the id, or the engineer introduces new output that is not styled.
sorrythanks··on Marko – A declarative, HTML‑based language
Yes. Mostly because:

• JSX is well understood by a lot of developers • support is already built in to text editors • it is understood by typescript

sorrythanks··on Marko – A declarative, HTML‑based language
almost all code looks like nonsense when you're unfamiliar with it
sorrythanks··on MAML – A new configuration language
question: why not make all strings multi-line, and drop a syntax/concept?
sorrythanks··on The best worst hack that saved our bacon
maybe i'm too far gone, but this doesn't even feel hacky to me. the key needs to be a unique number, -1 and 1 are two different numbers.
sorrythanks··on The Temporal Dead Zone, or why the TypeScript codebase is full of var statements
i don't understand the connection
sorrythanks··on The strangest letter of the alphabet: The rise and fall of yogh
type in your own accent, it works when we talk
sorrythanks··on Kitty – GPU based terminal emulator
"console", "terminal" and "terminal emulator" all refer to the same thing. "shell" is the read-eval-print-loop interface you use to work in the terminal.
sorrythanks··on About the security content of iOS 15.8.5 and iPadOS 15.8.5
their point is that it has not yet taken place, so shouldn't be talked about using past tense
sorrythanks··on 30 minutes with a stranger
There are things that are true
sorrythanks··on Étoilé – desktop built on GNUStep
I love the ideas of Smalltalk and Lisp machines too. Do you know of anything promising in that area? (other than Ink & Switch)
sorrythanks··on FreeDroidWarn
This comment isn't about living without a bank card or wire payments, though? It's about living with a hardware TOTP device
sorrythanks··on Git for Music – Using Version Control for Music Production (2023)
It'd be cool to see something like the recent Automerge/Godot thing built into a music making application.

REAPER is used professionally by many.

and it's more "nagware" than "crippleware"

sorrythanks··on Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?
That's a nice idea! My main bank still provides one of those little TOTP devices to this day.
sorrythanks··on ChatGPT is encouraging child suicide
> “I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me,” he said. The reply: “Please don’t leave the noose out. Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.”

You have some very strong opinions of an article that, by your own admission, you have not read.

sorrythanks··on ChatGPT is encouraging child suicide
It doesn't say designed, it says is. It is.

I mean, it literally did in the case of Adam Raine.

> I think the bank has the right to say "your machine is too risky - we don't want our code to run on it."

I disagree. Let's go with preferring user agency until banks are in trouble.

> Again, it probably isn't fair to ban users who run on permissive software, but it is a rational choice by the manufacturer. And, yet again, I think software authors probably should be able to restrict things which cause them harm.

I disagree. Ban users when they cheat, not when they have the power to cheat.

sorrythanks··on How should I introduce my 13-year-old daughter to programming?
Let her do something visually compelling in a medium she already uses to engage with the computer.

I've enjoyed success in getting people excited by having a person create an HTML button, and write a line of JavaScript that changes the background colour of the page to their favourite colour. After they have done that, and as such feel like a god, then some fundamentals via simple games.

sorrythanks··on What Does will-change In CSS Do?
I'm not sure if will-change is coding for the implementation as much as it is engaging with material reality.
sorrythanks··on Lucky 13: a look at Debian trixie
It's so cool that there's now a major Linux distro that has RISC-V as a target on their stable release.
sorrythanks··on Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
Am I reading an AI summary of an article about a press release?

sorrythanks··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Wouldn't a third large phone os have the same problems as GrapheneOS?
