  • Reader mode is your friend.

  • Just to second this. I use Chrome and Firefox daily for development work, and FF is my primary browser. It’s not noticeably slower than chrome, and I use TST with over 1000 discarded (hibernated) tabs organised in hierarchies for different projects. Usually 30–50 open at any one time.

    I’ve not seen AI being pushed, or even ads, but maybe I’ve just configured something a long time ago. UBlockOrogin and a couple of TamperMonkey scripts to fix up some sites I use regularly that have irritating CSS.

    Not had session restore issues that I can remember. And I don’t know what counts as ‘ludicrous’ amounts of RAM but on a 32GB machine running editors, google firebase emulators, various node servers and a bunch of other cruft, I’ve never run short because of FF.

  • I read it as:

    Katy -> Kathleen Dids -> Accomplishment

    It's a stretch.

  • Among this chart's many other issues raised elsewhere, Ada is in totally the wrong place. Probably more system than Rust right now, and definitely not obsolete.

  • Yeah, my eyes are so perfect, I read that as 'cartoonists' and spent a good few minutes confused.

  • Unpopular opinion maybe, but...

    1. This video is about 3x longer than it needed to be
    2. Did he ask his wife if she only ever uploads raw, unprocessed footage / images? If not, It'S fAkE!!! I don't see any small print alongside every single processed image explaining exactly what has been done. I assume pretty much everything online has been processed.

    A long while ago, bashing images for being 'photoshopped' was all the rage. We gave people tools to change colour balance, lighting, remove skin blemishes, and then change the shape of people's body parts for aesthetics. Nowadays, nobody bats an eyelid at unrealistically beautiful people, and some are going back to natural looks.

    I get accused online of being an LLM because I make use of semicolons and em-dashes; we're getting used to a new set of tools, and for the moment everyone is up in arms—but we'll find a way through.

  • Geez did they build that page with asp? Is janky-scroll a default setting?

  • I'm only on my phone and can't easily check the data behind this, but a very quick and dirty estimate of number of houses built per undeveloped acre between those 2 countries shows a different picture. Balancing land use has to be a factor, not just absolute number of people wanting houses. Is anyone talking about theoretical population models for different countries?

  • And even if you jump from higher up, it's the ground that does it, still not the Burj Khalifa.

  • I have been burnt by Dropbox in the past so now use Syncthing between my desktop, laptop, and a private remote server with file versioning turned on. Trivial to global ignore node_modules, and not giving data to a third party.

    It's saved me on several occasions.

  • All the more unusual ones were taken.

  • Mitch playing the long game for when your perp ends up in therapy...

  • I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

  • Is that Otto at the controls?

  • If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

  • You can find many discussions about that online, and it's basically a BE / AE thing. In BE, it's not correct, hence I'm annoyed a lot of the time.

  • I'd just like to thank you for writing "how big a deal" instead of the now ubiquitous "how big of a deal". That would have really annoyed me.

  • Not yet...
