“when we try to use a tape measure to hammer in nails it doesn’t really work, so tape measures are useless”

Fact of the matter is that it will become the norm m because cheap > quality in our system

What is the actual evidence trump wants to end democracy? I’ve only seen an out of context clip so far

That’s fair, personally keybindings always struck me as something easier to automate than pay for

That’s sick, unfortunately too late, ended up ditching full fat vs, employer wouldn’t pay for rider so I just went full into vscode and then vim/helix

What do you use Rider for that can’t be easily done via CLI?

Makes it work universally, even if the gui isn’t made with a standard toolkit

Also it’s ai they don’t care about efficiency

I mean personally if I need a heavy duty calculator I’ll just use python or something

Gnome calculator uses 103m, it’s loading style sheets for themes, UI libraries that make it look nice and modern, scientific calculator features, keyboard shortcuts, nice graphical settings menu, touch screen and screen reader support etc

I don’t think in this day and age for all the niceties people are used to that’s unreasonable.

Also other calculators are available, some are bloated but I’m sure there’s a rust or C one out there somewhere that uses a fraction of that with the bare minimum feature set

I’m not saying it’s phenomenal but it’s generally pretty well featured, running in a browser it’s not that heavy resource wise and the API/developer features are very good

I don’t think old=good is a good mentality though, lot of people seem to have it

All the old software I know and use is exceptionally good, however I’ve heard about and chosen to use it because it’s survived the test of time (also because it’s still actively maintained and has had thousands of bug fixes over the years)

Vscode and obsidian are pretty good and they’re electron, discord’s alright, pretty sure steam uses some kind of web wrapper as well.

Real issue is electron is very accessible to inexperienced developers and easy to do badly, but I imagine people back in the old Unix days got an equal amount of shit bloated software

Just because you can take a hammer to it doesn’t mean that’s the best solution

In the right situation I imagine it could be a useful tool, much more subtle than just smashing the thing, less time consuming than taking it apart

Not that I know of, I meant it could be put in a pressurised spray bottle, for example a deodorant can

If it’s bolted to a wall and unattended neither of those things are an option

You don’t necessarily need to put it into the air supply, could just bathe the specific device you want disabled in helium from a deodorant can or something

The app knows if location permission has been denied though

You’re probably right but it wouldn’t be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves

Did the people there actually believe they were robots? Impressive acting of course but you can see they’re costumes in the video and I imagine it’d be more obvious in person

I think all apps should have those explanation screens of what’s not going to work if you deny X permission and why, especially in the case of an issue like this

It should request location access, and if it’s denied tell the user that it won’t be able to get the location data from images and give them a button to have it ask permission again

Ah right, wild guess says it’s designing systems for them and not attempting to teach 5 year olds c++

So teaching/tutoring or something different? Had thought schools were a lot more balanced gender wise nowadays, at least from what I remember
