Installing an app vs scanning a qr code is vastly different. That being said, I won't do either to see s menu.

The speed that I type is not related to the quality of my code. I think then type.

Picking on SO and the mods in particular is a popular HN pasttime. I'd like to add that I interacted a bit with SO (1k points) and never really had any problems with them. I must be lucky...

Glad to see some love for Wolf3d. It was an important step in the development of the FPS genre, but has always been overshadowed by Doom. As someone who could not play Doom on my 386, Wolfenstein I have many fond memories of this classic. I'm sure I'm not alone!

I wrote an article in a similar vein some years ago that might interest you too:

> without any compression

Perhaps not compression as we see it today. But one could argue that tile based graphics and code based music is a form of compression. Old games used a myriad of cool tricks to get around their limitations.

Honda Jazz was first called Fitta which is cunt in Swedish.

Don't forget about better filters for influencers talking about the climate crisis!

In the long run, perhaps this will give us a better power grid, just like the dotcom bubble gave rise to broadband?

> it seems intentionally badly trained

This implies that available training code is good. Consider for example how many GitHub repos are students just trying to learn to code.

> Animated yellow indicators [are] very distracting

Completely agree. If I buy a new car, I will ask if it is possible to turn these off out of respect for other drivers!

They asked questions grown ups would know but likely not kids. I remember one questions about The Beatles for example.

I wonder how much energy it take to analyze 4k images 10 times a second?

I remember hearing that the band "A" took their name so that they would be put first the record shops.

If this goes through, either all companies would have to rewrite their eulas, or no-one would dare to use an online service. Either which is actually quite good.

Most if the tools seem to be just a gui around some windows api call. Which is exactly what you sometimes want. Especially when diagnosing problems. Clear, no nonsense. Nirsoft has helped me so much. Thank you!

Women are more emotional. They tend to vote on what "feels" best. And nuclear power can certainly feel dangerous.

Really nice color palettes. Some reminds me if MUI on the Amiga.

Not sure if this is serious or intended as a joke. It made me giggle nonetheless. Which is kind of sad.

You could read back the url after each write to check the validity. If not valid, assume the limit has been reached and inform the user.

> it forces your eyes to quickly and repeatedly adapt to short vision

Sounds like a big nono for "older" people. I'm having difficulty focusing on the dashboard nowadays. Progressive glasses could fix it, but the short distance area is at the bottom, so you would have to tilt your head alot to see the mirror.

A problem with binary formats is not now, it's tomorrow when tools have changed and documentation is lost (if there ever was any).

Let's also add physical markers, like little nobs, on the buttons so we can tell them apart by feel.

Hobby programmer perhaps. But a professional systems developer in a larger corporation? Not so sure...

Wow, thousands! In a country with 300m people... My home town with 300k people probably has well over a hundred roundabouts. They are everywhere.

I've always liked the Windows Explorer Treeview+Listview style file managers (XYplorer is vey good), but for heavy workloads, nothing beats Total Commander!

Even Windows 3.1!

Well, sure. Free as in freeware, gratis, no charge. I haven't seen any ads either.
