I think Amazon just adds another layer of packaging. I can imagine you are still responsible for yours.

Well that was a waste of time. Tried this for my MX 3:

- The DPI slider did nothing most of the time, but sometimes the cursor movement changed when clicking a button or switching windows.

- No matter what I chose, the scroll wheel was stuck at absolute maximum sensitivity setting scrolling about a thousand lines per ratchet click. There was also no way to disable the "smart" switch to freewheel spinning.

- For some reason, tapping the thumb wheel triggered Task View. Tapping the thumb wheel isn't even listed as an interaction so no way to change or disable this.

Love the idea of an "open" version of Logi options, but this is just terribly executed. Can't state anything about the code but the bewildering behavior and weird bugs definitely smelled like vibe slop.

> Inclusion means also including people with different beliefs and respecting their opinions, even if we don't share them.

Does this apply to immigrants?

Your takeaway is right in line with their tagline:

"The airport bestsellers that captured our hearts and ruined our minds"

How do you evaluate the quality of a summary of a paper you do not have the knowledge to read and understand?

Would you prefer that they do it without dignity?

Well in that case this is clearly the official opinion of The People.

Haha what? Do you believe that it's somehow been proven that "people" think about good modern games in some specific way? Based on a comment from one person?

Elden Ring, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Dredge, Blue Prince, Balatro, Astro Bot, Hades II, Silksong, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Pacific Drive, Death Stranding 2, Split Fiction

Things aren't looking great for modern games as a whole because a HN poster didn't include new enough games in their list of modern games they enjoy?

Maybe it's different people.

Given how tracking stolen items is technically identical to tracking a person, wouldn't this also be a device for undetectable stalking?

And I believe Tommy Tallarico was the first American to work on the Sonic franchise, ever.

I find it interesting how you take your experience and generalize it by saying "you" instead of "I". This is how I read your post:

> I don't know but to me this all sounds like the antithesis of what makes programming fun. I don't have productivity goals for hobby coding where I'd have to make the most of your half an hour -- that sounds too much like paid work to be fun. If I have a half an hour, I tinker for a half an hour and enjoy it. Then I continue when I have another half an hour again. (Or push into night because I can't make myself stop.)

Reading it like this makes it obvious to me that what you find fun is not necessarily what other people find fun. Which shouldn't come as a surprise. Describing your experience and preferences as something more is where the water starts getting muddy.

This is quite funny when you created the pissing contest between "coders" and "non-coders" in this thread. Those labels seem very important to you.

From what I understand, some of these predators are knowledge?

> Why is it so hard to pull a card out of your pocket?

Because I haven't carried a card for years now. I couldn't even tell you where my physical credit card is.

My first name is "Save" in Spanish and Portuguese, and apparently people think they are saving documents when they send them to that gmail address. I have received medical records, employment documents, so many photos, insurance information, you name it.

Of course that is not all, how on earth did you get that impression?

Doing something to address a problem doesn't imply that nothing else will be done and that this one thing is expected to solve the problem entirely. I didn't think this needed explaining.

1) If they don't have time or competency then surely they can pay for the services of someone who can. Most people don't have the time or competency to grow their own food but we still expect them to purchase their food from someone who can.

2) The state taking money from people by force in order to mandate the shaping of malleable young minds sounds like exactly the kind of grave consequences of socialism you fear.

I find it such a weird take to call feeding children at school socialism with grave consequences but taxpayer funded mandatory education isn't.

"Sorry Timmy, I know you're hungry but giving you a school lunch portion would actually be a false solution. It would do nothing to fix the neglect you experience at home, especially over weekends and summers."

"It's not that I don't want kids fed, I would just rather that kids go hungry than feeding them with the inefficient and corrupt system that I imagined."

If we're doing this, let's look at the other extreme as well: We give all people, including children, nothing as they are expected to take responsibility for themselves. No education, no services, no law enforcement, no roads, nothing at all.

These are both obviously silly examples. The 'Where do we draw the line?!' answer can in this case be answered with 'On the side that feeds hungry children'.

All the more reason for using schools to feed children who may be abused and starved at home.

> I'm in favor of free school lunches for kids. But I'm very annoyed with the strawmanning in this thread. For example, it seems like a strawman to say that people who are against free school lunches "want kids to go hungry". Maybe they just believe that parents should be responsible rather than the state.

If parents are responsible then the children of the parents who can't or won't provide will go hungry. That is a fact. You may not _want_ children to go hungry but if you advocate for that system then you are absolutely okay with a number of children going hungry.

This is a "do use" list, so recommended services.

If you're already a competent developer, I think that's a reasonable expectation of impact on productivity. I think the 'life-changing' part comes in helping someone get to the point of building things with code where before they couldn't (or believed they couldn't). It does a lot better job of turning the enthusiasts and code-curious into amateurs vs. empowering professionals.

In Icelandic, computer is "tölva" which is a combination of "tala" meaning "number" and "völva" meaning "oracle".

Do you do anything for fun?
