I really feel for the engineers and devs who don’t get to see their project released into the world. Especially after so much effort.

Coming this Fall: Apple Dryness Pellets! A bag of Styrofoam rice that’ll run you $499.99 and an extra $70 for it to come in colors. Not compatible with CE models.

Light switches are a bad example. Up doesn’t mean on and down doesn’t mean off when you have multiple switches for the same thing.

These switches visibly have 2 states and switching it means you want the other one. In tech it’s less obvious that there are only two states and that toggling the button will do something in particular. Recall the play and pause button on your media app. That button could change the state in any number of ways but in order to convey to the user what will happen BEFORE the button is pressed, the player shows what action will take place.

You’re already in the current state, that rarely adds info. Toggles should indicate what they will do.

What about processes that terminate before writing the whole thing? You can’t protect against everything. Blame other processes all you want but the language spec allows for confusion.

TOML and YAML both have the problem that if you receive an incomplete document, there’s a decent chance you can’t tell. JSON doesn’t have that because of the closing curly.

Shouldn’t this combination of settings result in a red preview? Or no preview? Currently it still shows a blurred preview.

I wonder why “Play” is written in English but “Store” is katakana.

But I can still only react with 8 emoji when using the website.

Mine and my roommate’s Hyundais were stolen. His was stolen by a child. We know this because the high schooler that stole my roommate’s car kept parking it randomly around the neighborhood because he obviously couldn’t bring it home to his parents and parked the car directly in front of our house (he stole it from a train stop so didn’t know). We caught the kid when he came back for it. The kid was 16.

Mine was stolen and then used in 3+ more hijackings involving a gun according to the FBI agent assigned to my case.

Still never buying a Hyundai or Kia ever again.

That was the one and only prompt I gave it in that chat. New bard sucks as bad as old bard.

After it was supposedly updated to support helping with code, I asked bard about how to access password protected zips in Go and it made up libraries and gave me a very simple non-functioning example. When asked to describe Octopath Traveler 2, it invented a new main character and setting that isn’t in the game or its predecessor or the mobile game. I don’t have a lot of faith that Gemini will be better.

This was a hit job and news outlets are trying to pretend it’s an accident.

Wait, Robinhood survived their GameStop bullshit?

There’s been 3 or 4 mass exoduses of advertisers from X. There have been multiple shit-hitting-the-fan moments that Walmart shrugged off.

This is just petty

I’m never buying another game from Google again. They dropped the ball on Stadia so hard.

I back channels and projects I like on Patreon because yeah, I’d rather not steal if I don’t have to. But YouTube needs to know they are BETWEEN the content I want and me. I bought into Google Music and stuck with it through its change to YouTube Music, and it’s always come with YouTube Red/Premium. The kicker is I’m paying for a lot of my video content twice but I’m happy with it because it’s on my terms and not a PENNY of it goes to Jake Paul.

You’re right, a lot of companies suck and I wish most of them behaved differently.
