Absolutely not, they are nothing more than their specs

”Thinking longer for a better answer”

I wouldn’t call anything with less than 64gb of memory premium, and if we look at macbooks were already looking above 3000

2000 euros was a premium price 10 years ago, today it is closer to mid range

Why would an OLED display not make sense in a low light livingroom situation? I really don’t understand it, what is the issue in this specific scenario?

Getting free money with no strings attached makes you happy - who would’ve thunk…

If the temp stays above 0 degrees celsius all year round it does not count as having seasons, since winter is obviously missing.

That mindset will make you a grumpy old soul. Language is dynamic, not something you can force upon people. From every mouth to ear (or screen to eye) the word is interpreted slightly different.

I mean the original meaning of the word Scandinavia certainly doesnt make sense anymore:

1765, from Late Latin Scandinavia (Pliny), Skandinovia (Pomponius Mela), name of a large and fruitful island vaguely located in northern Europe, a mistake (with unetymological -n-) for Scadinavia, which is from a Germanic source (compare Old English Scedenig, Old Norse Skaney "south end of Sweden"), from Proto-Germanic skadinaujo "Scadia island." The first element is of uncertain origin; the second element is from aujo "thing on the water" (from PIE root *akwā- "water;" see aqua-). It might have been an island when the word was formed; the coastlines and drainage of the Baltic Sea changed dramatically after the melting of the ice caps.

It doesn’t matter. Finland is often included when talking about Scandinavia, which in modern days just makes sense culturally. There’s no value in trying to cling to the ”histprically correct” meaning of a particular term. Languages evolve, dictionaries change.

We’ve had about 1 hour of sunlight so far in december where i live in Finland, but it’s fine. It also makes the sun way more enjoyable when it finally shines in the summer.

I’d never want to live in perpetual summer. Seasons brings joy.

I find it amazing that we are still digging up new tombs after all these years.

But ”we set up lights to wotk the night” - why the sudden hurry, if the figurines laid there for thousands of years surely they could wait one more weekend to be dug up.

You use AI to turn a few bullet points into a fleshed out CV. The recruiter uses AI to summarize your CV into a few bullet points.

The danger is not just related to speed, it’s about them being sp large that you can’t physically see the old lady or child walking right in front of it

Every one have different approaches to story points and every one thinks their way is ”the right way”. In the end they just turn into an abstraction layer for man hours.

> It’s virtually impossible for me to estimate how long it will take to fix a bug, until the job is done.

I understood it as the whole point of the 2 day hard limit - you start working on a bug that turn out to be bigger than expected, so you write down your findings and move on to the next one.

This is very impressive, it looks great!

Here I am, totally given up on adblockers, and no way I’m paying for premium, but jesus christ the amount of ads I get, sometimes seems to be one every minute, making most videos unwatchable.

Though it’s mostly good for my addiction since it makes me use youtube less.

That’s true, and if it makes you happy then that is all that matters.

I always thought stickers were mega-cringe, like saying ”look at me, I went to all these conferences, I’m such a hacker nerd, I use linux BTW”

Sorry but you must have read with your eyes closed. Here’s a quote from the HTMX website:

”After all, both htmx and hyperscript are built in JavaScript. We couldn’t have created these libraries without JavaScript, which, whatever else one might say, has the great virtue of being there.

And we even go so far as to recommend using JavaScript for front-end scripting needs in a hypermedia-driven application, so long as you script in a hypermedia-friendly way.

Further, we wouldn’t steer someone away from using JavaScript (or TypeScript) on the server side for a hypermedia-driven application, if that language is the best option for your team. As we said earlier, JavaScript now has multiple excellent server-side runtimes and many excellent server-side libraries available.”

HTMX is neither a meme nor is it anti-javascript, it is literally written in js.

It does not aim to remove js from your code, it simply adds more features to HTML by default, like making any element able to trigger an web request.

When you write a real world app with HTMX, you inevitably end up writing some js, which is totally fine.

Ever felt the impulse to steal a car after playing GTA?

I was told as a child not to eat berries near roads due to being exposed to exhaust fumes, but never check if there is any science behind it.

To those who say ”just use an adblocker” - if your local cafe had a group of waiters beating puppies right inside the entrance, would you just wear earplugs and close your eyes? Oh how low humanity has sunk when we accept such garbage.

Not one but TWO cookie consent banners, one with a huge list of radio buttons to disable, then two more banners, and 3 seconds into reading once again an ad blocks the screen. Who the heck tolerates this

Why do bots have flawed english? Seems like with LLMs being a thing they would not.

”why even all the Linux users reading this right now are doing so in a graphical user interface.”

I read this in my TUI RSS reader lol
