  • Overly simplified math meme is bad. Take it down

  • Ah yes, collective decision making, so easy, especially with strangers.

  • Funny that nushell is not on here.

  • I use dufs. Copyparty seems good too.

  • Probably referring to expat remote workers creating more competition in lower-income countries?

  • That won't be true once your competition catches up to you and your bug-riddled product is pissing off customers, pushing them towards your competitors.

  • Why would IO speed be a factor in whether a user's data is corrupted? That just sounds like a race condition.

  • Everytime

  • Anyone that offers a "beginner to pro" course for a language is full of shit. You do not reach pro status by learning a language. That's the absolute first step, and you will still be a beginner after learning your first language. Also I think most programmers that already know at least one language would consider learning a language via video tutorial to be a massive waste of time.

  • I think there should be 3 options: bad, OK, exceptional.

  • Sorry I wasn't very clear. I didn't mean to suggest that Libreoffice per se should pivot to a web app (unless they want to rewrite a lot of stuff or figure out how to generate WASM). But I think I would rather use an office suite in general if it were a web app.

    And it doesn't need to use a JS framework, it could be written in any language that targets WASM.

  • Qobuz catalog is extremely lacking IME.

  • I think LibreOffice should just be a PWA. I could easily be missing something, since I'm not an office suite power user, but AFAICT, everyone would be better off using an OSS version of Google Docs. Web apps are the most accessible option, they fit the collaborative use case well, etc.

  • I failed my first driving test for not having both hands on the wheel the entire time. Other than that, my driving was flawless.

    Not that I disagree with your hypothesis, but it certainly isn't true for every exam proctor.

  • LLMs are pretty good for language learning. I often ask ChatGPT to converse with me in Japanese or help me make a sentence sound more natural.

  • Your first point is not true. There are valid uses of memory sharing that rust will reject.
