Annoying that there’s no examples of the actual HTML markup. Only the CSS is shown. What’s up with that?

I’ve never really got that story. I understand it as a metaphor, but to me it doesn’t quite work because this problem can be solved rather easily by constructing something, anything, at the peak to hold the boulder from tumbling. If he places the rock in exactly the same way each time, no wonder it falls down. But he should at least try a different approach or any other trick that improves the chances of it working. There are plenty of options.

Granted, I never read the actual story, I’ve only pieced it together from the many pop culture references to it. So they may be other aspects of the story that I’m missing.

Mean dog endangered his rescuer just to please his own OCD during a literal life-or-death emergency. Bad dog!

Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that’s easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can’t check atm).

I don’t even know how to do that from commandline.

(one online search later…)

There’s a package for that but best I can tell there’s no universal way.

Like the other comments, you lost me at “designed” and somehow went even more downhill from there.

This is obvious trolling/ragebait.

Edit: reported to the mod team as this breaks Rule 5.

What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use - and not _

Right. I guess I consider that a relatively niche usecase. But on second thought I suppose it’s not that niche once you include hobbyist musicians and that kind of crowd.

I wanted to make the analogy of every tech YouTuber reviewing a laptop or non-high-end PC saying “you’re not going to be rendering long videos on this thing” as if that’s a relatable use case. No, YouTuber, that’s not something most people do on their computers! Most people probably never do it in their life, or only a handful of times ever.

But as I said upon more thought I realize that’s not the case with midi.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious but how often is midi used in modern days?

I’m in the same boat. What I’d give to keep contact with my family without being forced to use the WhatsApp app.

I refuse to buy it until it costs more

Edit: I guess I could buy it both on PC and on Switch

@[email protected] okay, I won’t be vague. I’m from Israel. Not hiding it, you can find out pretty easily from my comment history.

And in case you wondered, yes, I find the genocide in Gaza abhorrent and unacceptable. This is not the place to talk about this though so let’s leave it at that.

Quite the opposite!

I’ve never seen ChromeOS. I think it’s just not a thing in my country.

IIRC it’s iPadOS which is closely related to iOS. They used to be one and the same.

Windows XP flashbacks

May I suggest trying VS Codium instead of VS Code for step 3 and potentially (not guaranteed) not be grossed out too much? It’s a FOSS version of VS Code that removes telemetry and most of the gross Microsoft stuff.

I also did not get the joke. What is the joke?

Oh, I hate a lot about Android/Google too. One particular pet peeve of mine is that WebAPKs are still exclusive to Chrome (and, on Samsung devices only, Samsung Internet) despite the FAQ promising that “We are working on it. We are committed to making this available to all browsers on Android and we will have more details soon.” (Last updated 2017-05-21)

There is no good option in smartphones, you have to choose the lesser evil. For me that’s Android. I can appreciate that for some people it would be iOS. What drives me up a wall is that people defend these awful practices.

It was just a snarky comment. Apple does a lot of things well. I just find their anticompetitive practices deplorable.

No.

I don’t have the mental capacity right now to write a proper response, but hard no on that. Live lectures are amazing.
