I have one power cable to the monitor and one for the phone charger and a lightning cable from the monitor for charging the keyboard, so I don't have enough cables to "manage". I think I used to plug the phone charger into the monitor but I don't remember why I stopped.

Making 2 million people individually decide and record how much of their economic output a JSON formatting extension is entitled to is a non-negligible amount of mental effort and time, especially if we had to do it for all extensions and software we use.

Steam is the worst application on macOS I use. It can't even scroll the game collection at 60fps and when I launch a game without Steam open I need wait 15 seconds to see the actual game's loading screen or 30+ if Steam decides to update. It's so slow that if you told me it's emulating an entire Windows environment, I would believe you.

It's just an application launcher, a glorified Start menu. I would never choose to use it, it's forced on me because of the Steam store.

He's a Nazi that worked on uranium enrichment saying he wants to stay away from the country his bomb would've presumably been used to ethnically cleanse with unprecedented efficiency. What "situation" are you hoping will change?

Could you spell out what specifically you find significant about this quote?

Configure Emacs to template-replace it with breakpoint()

I'm talking about a daily average sustained over the entire course of your life. You don't commute on the weekends, vacations and when you retire, etc. so it's not quite as bad. But ultimately yea, would you rather die at 80 and commute two hours every day of your life or die at 70 and never waste a second in the car and also enjoy cigarettes?

I'm also talking about time that is so utterly wasted that it's the same as not living at all. What percentage of TV watching or phone scrolling time falls to that level? Surely some parts of TV watching aren't wasted, if not then why does comparing that to smoking not sit right with you?

I'm not trying to say that the numbers match up to smoking necessarily. I'm setting up a "living hours lost" framework for fun and comparing how things match up to one thing that Americans have deemed not worth it.

We could also factor in the time it takes to work for the money to buy cigarettes or say that time in your 20s is more valuable than time in your 80s, but I've never been 80 so I could be wrong about that.

If being a smoker decreases your life expectancy by 10 years and you live 80 years, then if you're wasting 1/8 of your day on screens (2 hours/day if you don't count sleeping 8 hours) then it's sort of like smoking, if we equate wasting your life with not living at all.

You can say "should make this readable" and talk about "the standard", but in real life you've chosen this specific stylesheet (or its 2 or 3 variations), which effectively hasn't changed since the beginning of the Web, for 99.9% of the times someone looks at your webpage as your stylesheet because it's already preloaded as opposed to choosing a different stylesheet because it looks better or some other criteria.

Better than waiting a year or more for an open source project to make a release bumping a dependency because no one cares.

It's really the "html.css-only Club" since you're still using the browser's default stylesheet

I've tried using it for this exact thing, and it doesn't work that well with terminal screenshots. You have to carefully read the output and fix it manually, but at least it's better than typing it all out by hand.

I had a similar thought from this video counting CPU interrupts in one key press on the 6502

https://youtu.be/DlEa8kd7n3Q?t=12m52s

In one second I can type about 7 ASCII characters, read maybe 20, or aim and click like twice. Each typed character is worth like 600 million CPU instructions of a single core of a 4GHz CPU. It's actually this fat, precious thing, the product of a giant computation from a "computer" (that was optimized for something else) that we aren't harnessing at anywhere near its real value. Instead, we type semicolons.

He started out repairing Apple computers and complaining about it on YouTube and discovered a lucrative market of long form Apple hate videos. He makes one type of video, it's him sitting in his chair wearing a microphone talking about how whatever Apple recently did is terrible.

But your software would still run 10% slower than it needs to. Single threaded code is like 99% of all code written.

Let's store time as integer Planck times since the Big Bang. 256 bits ought to be enough for anybody.

I was going to say since the invention of ASCII in 1963, but there were encodings before it and arguably you could say since the invention of Morse code in 1844.

I (don't) want to see an agent learn to rowhammer the memory address storing its reward quantity.

I love the design of this shutdown notice. No logo, it just starts with the text, it even doesn't have excessive padding. Makes me question why the first thing Hacker News (like all websites) has been telling me for years is that it's Hacker News, with a logo and with text. I know what website I'm on.

Learning useful things is fun, learning useless things is unpleasant, so in some sense it's more effort.

I care. I want to learn the entire thing I'm using, which means I appreciate things that are simpler and faster to learn. You can say I am a stupid or irrational person not worthy of consideration for wanting this but I am who I am and I want to spend money on computers that cater to me.

First tell me the minimum amount of time typing this would have to take for you to agree it's not worth it and I will try to keep adding things like the time it takes for someone to ask you to do this, for you to start VS Code, find the file, press ctrl-s, deploy the changes, and possibly some estimation of how long it takes a new developer to read and understand this system (please tell me how fast you speak and an agreeable value for how fast the average developer reads as well for this part) vs a simpler one until it goes over that limit.
