someguyiguess··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
Fair point
someguyiguess··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
That seems incredibly subjective. For people with carpal tunnel like myself, having to do everything on the keyboard can be very painful. The mouse alleviates that and gives visual feedback.
someguyiguess··on How LLMs work
And to make anyone who threatened to expose them “commit suicide”
someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
It works great with a nice stremio setup for live streaming. No subscriptions necessary anymore.
someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
Yup. That’s your issue. Disney+ outputting Dolby 5.1 and your speakers are stereo.
someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
Are you trying to listen in Dolby surround on a stereo setup? Disney+ defaults to surround sound and you’ll lose some audio channels if your speakers are stereo
someguyiguess··on Ruby for Good
Actually looking at it on mobile I see a few issues. Scroll on mobile interferes with the slider. Also some of the font sizes are too large and overflow. Is the source repository public? Or was the request for a PR hyperbole?

Edit: I see it was posted a few comments up.

Honestly Claude is not great at front end design. So it’s more than an “off chance”. That being said I think the site looks fine.
someguyiguess··on Scientists solve 200-year-old puzzle of how tobacco plants make nicotine
Simpsons did it!
someguyiguess··on Show HN: Audiomass – a free, open-source multitrack audio editor for the web
Yes. I’ve wanted something like this for a while. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t version control for DAWs. So many times I’ve spent hours editing a track and accidentally saved it without specifying a unique file name. Only to open it later and wish I could go back to before the changes that fucked it up.

That doesn’t look similar at all. That looks like an app for making loops on your phone.
someguyiguess··on Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
You might want to re-read the headline.
someguyiguess··on Fecal transplants for autism deliver success in clinical trials
Pretty sure there’s a shorter path to the top of the intestines than through the nose but I’m no Biologist.
someguyiguess··on If AI writes your code, why use Python?
> Why would I do that, if I can easily extract all the relevant, plain text (and even structured one) and read it in my editor instead?

Because that’s an enormous pain in the ass. Not scalable at all.

someguyiguess··on Driver accused of DUI tracks missing laptop to Illinois State trooper's house
That's a false dichotomy. Those aren't the only two options.
someguyiguess··on Killed by Apple
I've never heard of that product but man, that's an... unfortunate name.
someguyiguess··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left

someguyiguess··on Nintendo announces price increases for Nintendo Switch 2
That still does not mean it is not fraudulent.
someguyiguess··on Nintendo announces price increases for Nintendo Switch 2
Yep. They'll do anything but build their controllers with hall effect joysticks.
someguyiguess··on Nintendo announces price increases for Nintendo Switch 2
The steam deck is 4 year old hardware. The Switch 2 came out last summer. So if they're about on-par performance-wise, doesn't that prove OP's point?
someguyiguess··on Chevrolet Performance eCrate package (400v/200hp)
266 lb/ft? Nah. Maybe for a go kart.
someguyiguess··on Red Squares – GitHub outages as contributions
If they were curious they wouldn't "do Windows"

You clearly have never met a human
someguyiguess··on Where the goblins came from
We literally did that though. Walk outside and look up.

Famously Andrew Carnegie dodged the point

How banal

Install SizeUp. I paid $10 10 years ago and have been using it ever since. Far better window management than any Linux distro I've used. (and better than windows but that's not saying much)

edit: 13 years ago

Lack of knowledge about something can certainly make it seem horrid. It just means you have a lot to learn. There is a reason so many of us engineers with decades of experience in Windows, MacOS (and OSX), and Linux use a Macbook Pro as our daily driver.

I found that part ironic and tone deaf as well. Like, read the room buddy. France just announced they're officially moving from Windows to Linux. The country of France. I think OP is looking for a single lynchpin moment where things change from one way to the other. Where in reality, things rarely happen that way. It's a slow and steady shifting away from one thing towards another.
