oh I don’t consider them obnoxious. I’m from Python-land, they’ve been saving our asses with good tooling lol. the quality of output from the rust ecosystem speaks for itself

Stop it

Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

Yes, but if they regularly snore they probably have sleep apnea. If so, their life would likely be incredibly improved by a sleep study and maybe a CPAP machine.

What language is that engineer and a nerd one?

I want to understand this comment!

I don’t know, I used vim for like 6 years and then discovered, thanks to the power of evil and doom, how much better the vi experience is inside the context of emacs. With all the utilities and packages, it’s worth the small additional burden of troubleshooting that it imposes.

I usually refer to im as “vi” just to make people think I’m old school and cool save time typing that last character.

But Obsidian??

Yeah that’s what I mean; this is a bit edgier than I’d expect out of him these days. To be fair people often tend to become less piracy-enthusiastic once they publish their own books!

He’s gotten a bit less edgy over the years. Mostly in good ways.

I’m curious what’s the financial outcome here for the customers? I don’t remember what Humane’s price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example… Eh I’ll just look it up.

Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That’s just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

Thank you!

That’s interesting. What kind of massage are you talking about here?

To be quite honest I never allowed my Kindle or my Kobo to go online and the experience is not that different. The build quality on the Kindle is a bit better superior and I might well go back. Calibre is the real hero of the story IMO.

I just got a Kobo color (don’t recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it’s something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.

The word that you’re avoiding here - and please don’t take this as a criticism; I have zero opinions about you or whether this word applies to you based on your post - but there is a word that very exactly denotes what you’re describing, which is “hypocrisy”.

Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.

On Windows, there used to be (possibly a third-party application) a desktop widget that had a “turtle”, and if you clicked on the widget it would drop a little pixel of food, and the turtle would slowly walk over to it and consume it. I thought that was really cool.

They’re not the same thing, though. If you use infantilizing language with people of one sex until they’re 40, yeah, people are going to notice that and think it’s weird. I used to have a ton of unexamined behaviors like that before I worked on it a fair amount, and yeah, I was pretty lonely back when…

When I first saw this, I thought the implication was that they used real archers and the actors protected themselves by wearing these devices that would somehow block and capture the arrows, which would also miraculously never miss
