Pay, export, chargeback, and tell them that they can discuss this with your support department if they don't like it. (But don't give them the contact details, obviously.)

I recommend Bitwarden by the way.

If anything, the reactions to this article highlight how embarrassingly bad the average person is at interpreting communicating that is written in an (arguably) slightly unusual way. I feel bad for the author for having to withstand this barrage of hopelessly nitpicky readers. I dearly hope this doesn't discourage them, because it definitely would discourage me.

Or maybe the specific scenario presented in the article triggers some sort of a "it's not me, it's them autists!" reflex in people who visualized themselves on the other side of these interactions; I honestly don't know any more. I'm not (diagnosed to be) autistic, but fucking hell, I'm having a ridiculously hard time empathizing with these reactions, so maybe I should get that checked out...

Ingenious. Groundbreaking. Whitepaper-worthy. If only people on the autistic spectrum would just simply learn their way out of it.

Even better idea: use your neural plasticity and get some empathy.

So you want them to prepend every paragraph with "I know I'm wrong sometimes"? What does that achieve? The article is nice, concise, and gets the point across beautifully. Everybody's wrong sometimes, but some people are genuinely very rarely wrong in their area of expertise, and I'm willing to believe this guy is one of them. I'm glad he doesn't give in to the petty workplace politics, and I wish more people would.

The game's engine is irrelevant to the multiplayer backend in this case. https://unity.com/case-study/apex

I like to think that in a strange, poetic twist TempleOS would shine in these post-apo conditions. Perhaps Terry really did god's work in some sense...

Imma be honest, working as an artist who has to come up with Dall-E prompts and as a programmer who has to maintain a codebase slapped together from GPT-5 output sounds equally horrifying. I think I'll stick to my grug brain engineering.

Can someone elaborate or attach relevant links? I'm extremely interested.

What exactly is the useful part, though? I mean, it's technically wrong. I don't see how this description improves layman understanding of cookies, much less to the point of offsetting the wrongness of it. In fact, you could argue "text files" is straight up confusing: you'd expect them to be human-readable, but they're not. They're machine-oriented data, often with several layers of encoding and serialization.

The article was right at the time of writing, and it's even righter today.

Touch keyboards don't sound very liberating. I think experienced/professional users will be an especially bad fit for this. Imagine having to constantly look down at the keyboard to see what contextual options are available. It's like getting a new keyboard and having to get used to a different layout, except it's forever. Say goodbye to your flow state, hope you haven't gotten used to it.

That said, this laptop seems to include a physical keyboard, so maybe it's not that bad. I hope manufacturers keep experimenting with computer form factors, but preferably sane, human-centric ones.

And then they front-load all of the impossibly, stupidly, comedically overoptimistic numbers in the marketing (eg. pre-tax winnings), and have a fine print from which you can barely determine the odds of success (and if you're capable of that you most likely aren't participating either way), and then the whole game is designed so that you feel like you have some sort of superstitious influence over whether you win...

Please, let's not pretend this isn't about extracting money from people who are poor at decision-making.

Since I learned of them in my childhood, it always seemed obvious that lotteries are a government-approved scam, but I never imagined they were a scam on so many levels.

Wow, what an absolutely horrible take. The free tier is supposed to be a representative introduction to what you can expect from paid tiers. As long as you aren't breaking the TOS there should be no reason for suspension, and if there is a suspension, it should be handled gracefully and respectfully, as literally promised by their own friggin' TOS. The paid tier doesn't have a separate TOS either.

Oracle dropped the ball big time, and they should go out of their way to fix this ASAP. If I were their customer, which I am not and will never be, I'd be migrating my shit right now.

You can do this any time. Just look at one point for a minute or two. It doesn't take very long to set in. I discovered this by myself back in primary school (christ, imagine how boring the lessons must have been).

It's somewhat difficult to avoid moving your gaze involuntarily, but it's ok if your eyes saccade just a tiny bit once in a while, the effect will still work.

Another interesting thing is that while everything fades to gray, if you offset your vision by a tiny bit, you'll see this weird emboss effect, where edges of objects are strengthened. It's hard to explain, but it somehow kinda makes sense to me in terms of an image transformation:

inputImage - troxlersFadingOffset = gray

inputImageWithTranslation - troxlersFadingOffset = edgeDetection

Try warm-tinted sunglasses for a few hours - world becomes blue for a minute or two when I take mine off. I thought everyone noticed this at some point. I would be surprised if you couldn't replicate it with a VR headset, although that doesn't sound very comfortable. You would probably also experience a fleeting feeling of hyperrealistic vision, given how low-fi the see-through camera would be compared to your eyes.

Wait, is that actually how it works? Makes me sad about my hearing. Not sure how I wrecked it - must have been headphone use at loud volume as a kid.

Nice, thanks! A while ago I was looking for a a search lib precisely like this for my blog. I really like the idea of a client-side search - it feels extremely responsive to use compared to server side. The bandwidth-saving chunking tech is a nice bonus that I didn't expect - the websites I've used seem to naively load the entire index.

The only problem is that this is blatantly false. Having suffered trauma a couple of years ago, I can attest that the actual, physical functioning of your brain is changed. For months I'd feel weirdly alert when walking alone at night. I'd be afraid of the specific place the truma occurred. It's like there's a built-in circuit in my brain I never knew about that would start screaming "don't go there or you'll die!". It's all hardcoded in there. The effects persisted for about a year, maybe longer, with a linear-feeling falloff.

The experience didn't impact my life negatively in the long term, but it definitely changed the way I think about trauma. If a single experience can fuck up my brain semi-permanently, I have utmost respect for people who suffered repeated trauma, sometimes even during early development. I cannot imagine such experiences not leaving debilitating scars of physical nature.
