cjohansson··on RBoy: A Gameboy Emulator in Rust
You need formatters with options so you set the options to fit your preferences and then when new people come in to the project you just say 'The formatter has no opinions, it just formats'
cjohansson··on Ludwig Wittgenstein: A Mind on Fire
Philosophical Investigations has a lot of bug fixes that was in Tractus, when people want to discuss Wittgenstein they only want to discuss his early and not his more mature later work
cjohansson··on iOS 15
Yeah I have 3 iPhone 6 from 6 years ago with new batteries but can't update iOS or install modern apps. No hardware issues at all but will have to throw them into the garbage for the sake of Apple software support policy
cjohansson··on Why the American shoe disappeared and is hard to bring back (2019)
'Made by America' could be a marketing thing to try in the US. Sweden does it with Volvo cars and most people still believe Volvo cars are made in Sweden, the text is so similar you hardly notice the difference
cjohansson··on Steve Jobs: Let's force Amazon to use our payment system (2010)
You just need to update your hardware from time to time, not because the software needs it really, just because Apple needs to keep cash flowing in. I use the same apps on my iPhone 12 that I did on my iPhone 6, the only reason I upgrade is because Apple won't let me update the software without buying their new uneccessary hardware
cjohansson··on Onivim 2 – A retro-futuristic modal editor
I agree, it's a waste of screen estate and focus estate, I can't see the benefit of a minimap. I usually use imenu in Emacs so any definition is 0.1s away with a keypress
cjohansson··on iPhone 13 to support LEO satellite communication
I agree it's fake, there is phones on the market that has phone and internet via satellite but you need a subscription and it's expensive. The average Joe don't have that. I think this is a PR-trick to suggest Apple is relevant and innovative, Apple after Jobs is safe and predictable and not exciting like this
cjohansson··on Zorin OS 16 is Released
Looks good, great website as well. Linux has come a long way from the early nerdy days and is a competitive desktop OS
cjohansson··on Reflections on 10k Hours of Programming
Yeah the how is important when auditing the correctness of code. I would say "Never listen to an advice about never doing something, there is always a case were breaking the rules is good"
cjohansson··on Did Dvorak die “a bitter man”?
Dvorak is apparently better but lack of time and lack of keyboard customizability has stopped me from trying it out. I think that effort is the reason why it hasn't succeeded and never will
cjohansson··on DaisyUI – Tailwind CSS Components
I believe in semantic class-names, I know one can transform tailwind into cleaner markup but it seems to introduce more work than just building from scratch
cjohansson··on Tool to convert copyrighted music into fair use
Hilarious stuff
cjohansson··on New ‘mirror’ fabric can cool wearers by nearly 5°C
I think what is evident for all parents is the importance of cooling down the entire car, not just the driver or front passenger but all kids in the back, sometimes with a lot of stuff in the way of the vents
cjohansson··on Steve Wozniak backs right-to-repair movement
Woz is a good guy, respect to him
cjohansson··on GitHub confirmed using all public code for training copilot regardless license
Yes but it might be illegal
cjohansson··on Linux Rust Support
This is great news I think and it's great for both Rust and Linux
cjohansson··on I do not agree with Github's use of copyrighted code as training for Copilot
It's strange how this thing was not an opt-in feature at GitHub. I also feel like this thing is a violation of my integrity and I will consider stop using GitHub as well
cjohansson··on Acer disables BIOS for laptops sold through Amazon? (2020)
Sounds plausible, I'm voting for that explanation. Would be easier if Amazon was transparent about the real reason instead of giving a PR reason
cjohansson··on The 'Fuck You' Pattern
Only the most expensive SEO-experts know the occult methods of success on Google's search results
cjohansson··on “Please don't waste maintainers' time on your KPI grabbing patches”
Sounds like the typical issue of business intelligence using quantity over quality to rate work performance
cjohansson··on Developing Games on Linux: An Interview with Little Red Dog Games
Yes it seems better to whitelist specific explicit Linux-configurations (version, window-manager, sound-setup, etc). Like we officially support this, if you are using something else use the forums to discuss with other users but we will not investigate your issue.
cjohansson··on Scientist finds early virus sequences that had been mysteriously deleted
> Truth should be the highest priority

This was the ideal for the Enlightenment, because the truth is good and from God. However we now live in the postmodern philosophy were truth is merely a political instrument and has no longer a holy status

cjohansson··on Sperm DNA methylation epimutation biomarker for paternal offspring autism
I would turn the argument around and say that what we usually diagnose as ADHD or ASD are infact many different brain variations. Having for example ADHD doesn't mean your brain has any similiarity to another ADHD brain. The diagnosis does not involve physical brain measurements in any way
cjohansson··on EA hacked and source code stolen
Copied should be a better term I think
cjohansson··on IconVG is a compact, binary format for simple vector graphics
No I think the author works at Google and have a couple of hours weekly or monthly to do "experiments", but the employment terms forces the ownership of the "experiments" to Google but since the projects may not align with Googles image or reputation they wish not to be officially associated with it. They own it but do not "stand behind it" officially
cjohansson··on Writing a game from first principles in 65c02 – Part One
"We use the digits 0 to 9 to represent 10 unique values, which not uncoincidentally matches the number of fingers on our hands."

I disagree with this statement, humans use fingers on one hand to represent 0-5 (6 distinct values) and fingers on two hands to represent 0-10 (11 distinct values)

cjohansson··on It's virtually impossible to read old iMessages and they take up tons of storage
You need to buy a Mac for that, it's all part of their plan.

I would recommend switching iOS browser to be able to sync your browsing across vendors

cjohansson··on It's virtually impossible to read old iMessages and they take up tons of storage
yes it is really bad, the UIs for PMs was better 10 years ago, thinking about ICQ, Adium, MSN Messenger and the like. You could export history as file and easily scroll and search them
cjohansson··on Neovim 0.5 is overpowering
Semantic is used less and less I would say, there is not enough people involved in keeping it and it's grammars updated, it also suffers lack of asychronicity. Tree-sitter and LSP has the advantage of re-using code for multiple editors
cjohansson··on Second Climacs – Emacs Implementation in Common Lisp
Cool stuff, Lisp is such a beautiful language and I hope more people get the chance to get to know it
