The default datepickers in browsers are not feature-rich at all though. They're fine for extremely basic "pick a date" type of usecases, but as soon as you want to do anything slightly …

I've often wondered about this myth that the tech-nerds can't articulate stuff properly. In my experience with my coworkers it's not really the case, we go out of our way to explain eve…

Honestly I found it crazy that out of all the lootbox systems that existed, Overwatch got the brunt of the outrage. CS to this day has a much more predatory and in pretty much every way worse lootbox …

Actually they changed the unlock system, you have to win 10 games as the role the locked hero is in to unlock them now. At least that's what I had to do, might be cause I had OW1 since the early …

I'm working on a feature using a different, but basically the same type of service (APIDeck), and for us we're using it cause our customers want 3rd party integrations with Shopify, Hubspot,…

Unrelated, but why is it that Font marketing pages specifically always have such cool-looking demoes? I love the navigation on that site, I might steal that for my own site

I don't really write huge complex types in TS, I basically stick to just the native data objects like string, number, boolean etc., but even then I find it so useful just for the autocomplete tha…

Why aren't these people championing for their own private messages to be fully open to the public to read? Maybe then I could almost take them seriously and I'd even have a bit of respect, b…

I know it's cliche to bring up 1984 in these kind of talks, but your comment reminded me immediately of that section in the book where Winston goes to that park in order to be away from prying ey…

Weird Al explicitly seeks out the permission from the people whose songs he's parodying, despite not really having to (legally), and he compensates them in kind as well, so kinda the exact opposi…

> For the record, I find your comments about the future to be incredibly pessimistic. The advent of AI has allowed a lot more people to be creative without needing to dedicate hundreds of hours to …

You're not a computer whose sole purpose is to regurgitate code verbatim at massive scale when requested, unlike an LLM designed for exactly that purpose.

The library pays/paid for those books (usually at much greater cost exactly because they're meant to be accessible), most often through taxes.

> ... And that's all AI is asking ... No, the AI itself isn't asking anything because it's not a sentient being capable of rational, independent thought. The people making the AIs ar…

> Then nobody will have free shit to absorb. Not young aspiring authors, and not AI models. Difference being, of course, the fact that the young aspiring authors are fully capable of coming up with…

Why do you deserve to reap the benefits of their labour while not giving them a cent? Just saying "but open source!" Isn't a valid argument, everyone who wants access to someone else&#x…

And a computer isn't a human luckily, so this argument doesn't work here.

How do you make a branch based off master though? I never work on master, but my workflow is `gs master && git pull && git switch -c my-branch-name` so that my branch at least starts o…

...for the time being, but them being the comic-book, mustache twirling evil villains they are there's no doubt WEI will be coming back, in a even more evil package, sometime down the line.

I pay for YT Premium because I think the price is well worth it. There's no universe where I trust Zucc and Meta. They're just gonna take my money, still collect every molecule of informatio…

Does it then proceed to track each license plate and their movements once outside the parking lot, keeping a note of every single place where the license plate goes and parks in order to build a profi…

Morally, I consider ads to be outright evil, especially the modern day cancer we call advertisement where they track every singular molecule of your existence. As soon as these scumbags stop hiring ps…

I mean even my own currently-alive ancestors (farmers, the majority of them) don't look at livestock as living, conscious beings. They obviously care for each animal and give them a swift and as-…

As someone born a bit after these demos, any tips for how to make this sort of thing? My C/C++/ASM skills are pitiful but I'd love to sharpen them, and this seems like a perfect way to …

Sorta, I have a beefy PC at home and I use Parsec to just stream my screens to my laptop if I'm at the office or whatever. Not quite the same since it's not really containerized, but I set u…

Good! Hopefully Microsoft burns through as much of their cash paying penalties as possible and dies as a result, as they should've a decade+ ago.
