So many casualties in that period of groping around in functional programming concepts for the frontend from, like, 2014 - 2020 or so. But a lot of good things endured from that at least.

Feels like markdown is token-efficient since its abbreviating HTML tags. Think about a large table. Also, HTML can't be especially rendered inside, say, Neovim, so now interacting with an LLM interface gravitates towards GUIs. Good for accessibility, I guess, there's that. Maybe the need for token efficiency will finally realize my dream of writing Slim[0], or some such, straight to the browser, full native compat.

This was Socrates' own warning about writing over 2000 years ago

You can't rebind plugin maps, so the session picker uses my preferred unlock chord to create a session. Dev had no interest in changing that.

So its not just me!

I'd imagine only SteamOS on the GabeCube could make this guarantee on Linux

>Alan Dye ruined everything at Apple, no idea how he clung on for so long

Cook doesn't seem to a have any taste for product design, isn't he a logistics guy?

What would be better?

What’s the best resource for getting a handle on all modern CSS for someone who hasn’t paid attention since flex box

Yes, and he will control CNN just prior to the first midterms runoffs, this is all part of a plan.

That is exactly what is going on. Everyone at WB management knows that the Ellisons want to weaponize CNN before the midterms runoffs start in spring.

They’ll be replaced with cheaper humans in Mexico using those Copilot seats, that’s much more tangible and obvious, no need to wait for genius level AI

LLMs raise the floor for confidence for near/offshoring in the executive class. That’s the actual sell.

Edit: in the context of SWE at least

I made sure to match brand between my TV and sound system for this reason. Also reminds me: you can have wake from sleep with an Xbox controller on PC, but not any other controller, and Windows won’t wake if I turn the TV on and switch to the PC connection; consoles have done this a long time.

Uh

* two major platforms on PC and one of em doesn’t sport a Big Picture mode

* the other store does nasty tricks like never terminate a game process completely when you launch their titles through the other platform (very obvious w/ Alan Wake 2)

* other store’s titles doesn’t have this problem if I use Playnite as the TV frontend, but Playnite is a giant security vulnerability waiting to happen cause you need 3rd party plugins to emulate Steam Big Picture

* entire swatches of games that act funny with Steam Input or have incomplete configurations and I don’t feel like figuring that out just to play Backrooms

* Windows window management when using Steam Big Picture w/ controller is bad, b/c lots of desktop things will steal focus (hello Rockstar Games and EA)

* oh yeah, mandatory LAUNCHERS

* Try to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition on a TV with a controller; no really, try

* don’t even get me started on OOTB auto HDR config for almost any random TV with PS5 vs dicking around with the NVIDIA control panel

* the Steam store navigation w/ controller is baaaaad in 2025, many times you won’t be able to move or select certain things.

This is an incomplete list. It actually doesn’t matter whether you have a point-by-point refutation, no non-technical person wants to deal with any of this. They want machine to take care of everything. That’s what an appliance is

(Edit: formatting)

This. Zero reason I should have to download Playnite for a unified gaming frontend

Looks like I’ll need to put that home server together sooner rather later

This is also vim

Whyis quality dropping like this between Windows and macOS? Is this asking this even just rose-tinted glasses on the past?

Firefox kills my battery on an M4 MBP, it’s astonishing. Chromium and Webkit browsers don’t give me that problem.

Also, FF extensions still don’t support service workers, only background pages

>Is the average person a truth seeker in this sense that performs truth-seeking behavior?

Absolutely

Zellij has interesting ideas, but it has a ways to go. You can arbitrarily rebind the base modes and their actions, but you're F'd if those conflict with a plugin's, which seem to all have hardcoded key binds.

You can't rebind key maps to its session manager plugin, making it a no-go since I bind the same key that the plugin uses to select a directory or something. Thus, I can't create new sessions through it, have to do it from the command line.

It is insane how little is written down, and written down well, in my limited experience in Enterprise, never mind thoroughgoing written communication

'nerd-washing' such a great term

>When you ship a piece of software, it's often expected to be usable by a million people reliably for years.

And what specifically, comparatively, has modern corporate software production organization contributed to to this point?

Need a text diffusion model to output a version of Eden!Eden!Eden!

You're right, I missed that you were talking about the click-through dialogue specifically for the special event dialogues

Played Remake and put that down after a few hours. The combat was just not appealing; it was packed with filler for anyone who actually played the original FFVII; the VA was just typical JRPG wooden quality. Would rather not invest another $70 for Rebirth.

Likely a business decision to save on VA billable hours via nostalgic RPG trope.
