grimgrin··on Thought-Terminating Cliché
Sometimes I use them, because I simply want the person to shut the fuck up

The half time super bowl show is on, if you're really having a _problem_ with Bad Bunny, I agree to disagree ;) "shut the fuck up"

grimgrin··on Start all of your commands with a comma (2009)
in vim i am very fond of two mapping prefixes: <space> and ,

they're both so easy to reach for

grimgrin··on What's up with all those equals signs anyway?
you presume cor=rect

grimgrin··on Anciente map of Fairyland. Places from nursery rhymes, fairy tales etc.
This is a nice alternative link because it zooms into a few areas

grimgrin··on List animals until failure
Not of course. You could have compiled datasets. Matter of fact I think that would be cooler for something with definitive lists

LLMs could compile it for you, by sourcing X Y and Z

grimgrin··on PlayStation 2 Recompilation Project Is Absolutely Incredible
I'll take a longbet with you that this or successors tackle more than a small handful of titles

We live in interesting times

grimgrin··on Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke?
That is so true I wanted to "fix it", granted, I'm not even using these at the moment, but I appreciated the idea

I'm not saying you should do this, but you can do this:

grimgrin··on Play Aardwolf MUD
i was gonna post this 15 hours ago but was sure someone would

warning, this ranking will put the horny muds up top: https://mudstats.com/Browse

---

my MUD history goes: in '98 i got into realms of despair, played for years. another mud phase is awarded to trenton for his dbzfe/ff1 muds, both having tilesets if you preferred the pueblo mud client. dbzfe was unique in its real time combat, dodging left a right punch, or parrying it high, or ducking. all timing-based, high adrenaline moments for me

but, the past ~7 years or so, i just log into discworld. i made a very ugly site for it, not mobile friendly. https://badteeth.neocities.org/ not even eyeball friendly

seems i like throwing up pages for _things_. i briefly played a finnish mud: https://icesus.neocities.org/

grimgrin··on The first new compass since 1936
knock it off. make the observation about the edit and suspicion. do not say it doesn't work

yes, everyone in this thread knows there is a mysterious edit and many are suspicious

grimgrin··on The first new compass since 1936
a scam? like, a dishonest stunt to take our money?

i do see the comments about the mysterious needle stop edit

grimgrin··on Mruby: Ruby for Embedded Systems
also possibly interesting to some is the cosmopolitan libc inclusion:

https://github.com/mruby/mruby/pull/6681

grimgrin··on Steve wants us to make the Macintosh boot faster
"this" meaning that level of care, not the wake-up speed
grimgrin··on Claude Code gets native LSP support
it's likely been on their mind for _a while_

those wanting lsp support in the loop have been using things such as: https://github.com/oraios/serena

grimgrin··on Show HN: Picknplace.js, an alternative to drag-and-drop
only slightly similar, on desktop when making a visual selection, dragging cursor from x,y to another x,y then releasing? i'll run into problems with early releases sometimes, could be hardware, network, whatever

if the tool i'm using has this option, i will use it and love it:

    -D, --nodrag
      Allows you to click twice to indicate a selection,
      rather than click-dragging.
that's from maim, idk what else does it, but i prefer "nodrag" to "drag-and-drop" or "drag-and-release"

picknplace reminded me of it

grimgrin··on GPT-5.2-Codex
if claude is stuck on a thing but we’ve made progress (even if that progress is process of elimination) and it’s 120k tokens deep, often when i have claude distill our learnings into a file.. and /clear to start again with said file, i’ll get quicker success

which is analogous to taking your problem to another model and ideally feeding it some sorta lesson

i guess this is a specific example but one i play out a lot. starting fresh with the same problem is unusual for me. usually has a lesson im feeding it from the start

grimgrin··on Using TypeScript to obtain one of the rarest license plates

grimgrin··on Cryptids

grimgrin··on What folk can do
when I read "Instead of a phone/laptop/touchscreen/mouse/keyboard, your computational objects are physical objects in the real world, and you can program them inside the system itself" I do think of https://dynamicland.org/2024/FAQ/
grimgrin··on Things I want to say to my boss
perhaps it is the nature of their thought process

perhaps they blur their poetry

did they use an LLM in 2020: https://www.ithoughtaboutthatalot.com/2020/how-much-the-worl...

grimgrin··on Things I want to say to my boss
imo it reads best if you switch to a narrow view

in desktop firefox I ctrl-shift-m to compact the left/right'isms of the design

grimgrin··on A “frozen” dictionary for Python
you made a non-comment, that's why you're downvoted

comments don't have to be substantial, but they should be adding something that might merit more responses, or could. yours does not. what kind of reply could you even give to "this place [and so, its users] hates [thing]"

I'd ask you to qualify it, but you can't really qualify such a statement

grimgrin··on A “frozen” dictionary for Python
I think you could have asked this same comment w/o mentioning ChatGPT and you wouldn't have been downvoted to oblivion in 3 minutes

I don't see anything wrong with your asking to understand

grimgrin··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
I only typed Linus Torvald not realizing the person was asking for a "movie character" quite literally, lol. I thought "you mean the guy famous for (among many things..) his behavior?"

This is the first time I've had a comment hit -3 which, I mean, I get it!!

grimgrin··on Show HN: I built a system for active note-taking in regular meetings like 1-1s
gosh dangit, it's easy to re-read with that in mind

whoosh right past me head

grimgrin··on The Joy of Playing Grandia, on Sega Saturn
maybe, but the blog post mentions it, sorta:

"Additionally, the first Grandia was recently remade for modern consoles with the release of the Grandia HD Collection."

grimgrin··on Show HN: I built a system for active note-taking in regular meetings like 1-1s
what you see as "asserting dominance" i show as "giving respect"

are these the same things or are we reaching differently w/ the consideration
