Isn’t that the way politics is now? Freedom of speech for me, but not for thee? Or is it, My speech is free, but yours are lies?

Hypocrisy everywhere.

I’d rather have a GUI builder ala Sun’s DevGuide. Unsure how Delphi/VB did it, but when I tried them back in the 90s they didn’t click. Nowadays, every UI builder seems significantly more complicated.

DevGuide completely separated the frontend from the backend, linked together by defining method names for events. When you compiled the backend, it would generate any changes from the frontend description — I don’t remember the file format but it was probably proprietary.

It was so easy I could do any non-graphics GUI w/ minimal effort. Sadly, it looks effectively absent from the internet.

Since you asked, I’d prefer Ruby, but if you delivered something like DevGuide I’d even learn Python.

Musk didn't read very carefully.

All true, but the Christian right is singularly the best organized.

I haven’t experienced it, yet, but for my company it might be one of two ways it becomes profitable. The other way is to lay everyone off AND offshore work only when the lone remainer needs help.

I’m fine with balding and baldness, but I do need a permanent color solution

If you don't know Ruby, and you don't know Ruby on Rails, you have 2ish choices:

1. Go with what you and your team already know (unless what you know doesn't apply to the target space)

2. Learn Ruby and especially Ruby on Rails first. Otherwise, you'll end up with a dumpster fire. Make sure you investigate the idioms, and use Rubocop, ruby-lsp, and ruby-lsp-rails -- there are more tools for linting your code that help you learn what not to do.

If you aren't using Rails for the FE, you are losing at least 30% of the benefits, unless your FE is just rendering what Rails is returning and not managing complex state.

I pay for Kagi, but while the results are generally good enough, they aren't great. I've tweaked the settings recently so I hope I see a lot less crap, especially SO scraped content.

Blocking these sites is like playing whack a mole

RSS plz?

I watch Netflix the most, so while I hate the increase, it’s not a big deal compared with Apple and Disney/Hulu/ESPN.

If I only buy the Apple’s essential services, I pay almost the same as the bundle, which is frustrating, to put it mildly.

Cutting the cord isn’t cutting the cost to only watch what you need.

Which reminds me, I need to cancel Sling until the NHL playoffs arrive.

Genre streams like Hirschmilch and SomaFM, and WherePostRockDwells on YouTube

Western colonialism/interference, combined with western religion, is the root cause of most, if not all, of the problems in Africa and Middle East.

I’d provide references, but the easy solution is going to a library and reading.

It’s obviously the UK. Lots of UK expats buying and retiring to Spain. At least that’s the story I hear.

Hey, you never know when you might need to lift your house off its foundation and move it around the block!

If you exited properly: whatever you want.

If you exited poorly: go back out and try again.

Those cursor keys are evil and the design should go to hell.

P.S. The “designer” could be the knob who insisted the actual designer make them that way.

I'm ok with most of the naming conventions, but the pluralization is one I loathe. The necessity of custom inflections should have been a strong smell, IMO.

As an original bouncer, and recent convert, I would emphatically state that Cursor’s AI for coding is much better.

I thought it was actually this when I saw it on mastodon.

OTOH, he’s mostly being snarky. I think.

No humans. Try again, evolution, and this time do better!

Comcast/Xfinity keeps raising my bandwidth, currently 400Mbps, but I still only get 80Mbps max. Awfully nice of them to get nothing for free!

This is awesome, but needs like 100 more fonts :)

> Source Code Pro

This, and Bitstream Vera Mono, has been my font for a long time, but recently I've been experimenting with Monaspace, MartianMono, CommitMono, and Comic Mono.

I’m guessing they live indoors and only go outside long enough to reach the next AC enclosure, like they do during Florida summers (aside from beachgoers).

Feedly's web app is awesome. I usually use the web version on iPad.

The main problem with RSS apps these days is they respect the article summary and do not render the full article in the app, so you have to read in the in-app browser or default browser. The (iOS) in-app browser doesn't have extensions or dark mode, so

Alternatively, everyone wants you to visit their site so only publish their RSS with a summary.

This was my takeaway from college. In HS, you don’t have a lot of prerequisites, excepting the “II” level classes. I quickly found out how unstable my math and physics foundations were. Luckily, few realize that Bs are closer to failing than they are to mastery.

Even the college gut courses have hidden dependencies. I still feel for the business majors in my entry level stats class when the prof, bragging about learning calculus at 10, required calculus proofs for all the things.

Much like Civilization and Diablo games, and @godber’s comment, those tech trees should be required for all course syllabuses.

IME, accelerating engine noise dominates, but at velocity tires are super loud on less than smooth roads — especially truck and SUV tires.

Sneaky Sasquatch is beyond amazing. Played with my daughter until she kept spending all our money on outfits and accessories

I agree with you, but replace NVIDIA with Apple. What would the EU say?

Personal preference: the model S is one of the nicest looking cars ever designed.

Ironically, the answer is buried 2/3 down.

  And here’s the trick to using it without having to click the ‘Web’ option buried in a menu every single time. Google does not make it easy, but by adding a URL parameter to your search—in this case, “udm=14”—you can get directly to the Web results in a search.
