Their thinking is all messed down.

C'mon, let teenagers have some fun.
dalmo3··on The "most hated" CSS feature: cos() and sin()
> asking it once and having it remember

Uhhh, that reminds me of the super duper helpful way YouTube automatically enables dubbing and/or subtitles based on the last video I watched, my browser language, my account language, where I am in the world, phase of the moon, the colour of my shirt...

dalmo3··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation

If you think that's sluggish, that's a you problem.

dalmo3··on Ask HN: Does anyone else pronounce CLI as "clee"?
Yes, but I prefer command line interface terminal.

dalmo3··on What brain surgery taught me about the fragile gift of consciousness
> "the universe observing itself", but that sounds a bit too new-agey.

That's hilarious. New Age has such a bad rep that the universe itself is repelled by it.

dalmo3··on The cost of interrupted work (2023)
I can sit and program 16 hours straight without breaks.

I cannot talk to someone else for an hour without feeling exhausted and needing a long break afterwards.

Talking to someone else while programming? It's revving up my brain into the red zone. Sometimes the adrenaline boost does its job but I do pay the price.

dalmo3··on I did 98,000 Anki reviews. Anki is already dead
The one time I tried Anki u realised I started recalling the answers based on the shape of the words lay out on the card without necessarily reading them.

The most fun I had with Claude was when I told it "You are Ziltoid, The Omniscient."
dalmo3··on What would you name a new programming language?

dalmo3··on Developing with Kiro: Amazon's New Agentic IDE
Too late. YouTube music channels already began explicitly tagging videos as "Human made music".

> one of the goals of AI written code is to allow the AI to manage

Another reason to favour shorter code.

dalmo3··on New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes
I had to zoom in to double-check the blue dots weren't there!
dalmo3··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
I've just bought a used s10e in pristine condition for $200. It's glorious.

Re: TFA, I'm all for filling the small phone niche, but there's no way I'm paying a cent over $500 for a phone with no resale value.

dalmo3··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
I agree with the sentiment, but pants is a very funny example.

Every manufacturer seems to think people are either tall and fat or short and slim. I'm tall and my only alternative is literally to wear a belt.

dalmo3··on Onlycats
Lol, someone's generating images from this thread.

dalmo3··on Most people who buy games on Steam never play them
> these techniques benefit the developer not the player

Hard disagree. Buying games on sales is a magnificent way I can expand my horizons and play random games I'd have never heard of otherwise or would've never tried.

dalmo3··on Light exposure at night predicts incidence of cardiovascular diseases
Grin?

> All authors suffered substantial abdominal discomfort from laughter.

dalmo3··on Comet Browser by Perplexity
I'm perplexed too
dalmo3··on Locality of Behaviour (2020)
I've never used htmx, can you ctrl+click "/clicked" and go to definition? If not, it's just as spooky.
dalmo3··on Don’t use “click here” as link text (2001)
'Member the 80s?
dalmo3··on The Death of the Middle-Class Musician
What would a world that cares about creativity look like?

dalmo3··on Get Your Dev Tool Mentioned by ChatGPT, Gemini Not Just Ranked on Google
Wrong audience
dalmo3··on Ask HN: Cursor is productive for an hour, then burns my application down
You can ask cursor itself to create and update the tasks.md file.

Tell it to remove the task from the file after it's done, then do a commit. That way if it screws up at some point you can checkout the last good commit and start from there in a new chat.

dalmo3··on As a developer, my most important tools are a pen and a notebook
Interesting. For me it's the opposite, e.g. just changing keyboard layouts between pc and mac breaks my brain hard, and I feel useless.
