A few weeks ago I watched Ladyhawk on a 13" TV with a built in VHS player. I realized that my brain didn't care about the quality as soon as I started paying attention to the content. I still like my 1080p but there's definitely massively diminishing returns after that.

On Linux Mint I can resize windows by hitting super+z, close windows with super+c, and move them around with super+left drag. There are others too, but I use these constantly. I was worried when I switched from Windows that I'd lose my shortcuts, but it turned out that there even more options on Mint.

I'm afraid of getting locked into anything so I do all my notes in raw markdown and organize it with vscode. I tried all sorts of things before I settled on this way but I've never looked back. Simplicity is king.

I was using my school's website the other day and had a similar thought. I remember waiting a similar amount of time for many pages to load back in the dialup days. Why is it so slow to load a page that just shows some text and buttons??

What if that just drives you insane due to the problem described by Gödel's incompleteness theorem? Maybe you'd become susceptible to someone telling you "this statement is false".

I've been working on a raspberry pi based music notes box for shows on and off for about 5 years. I can count through and change songs with my foot, so I have an easier time keeping track of where I am in the song for live shows (I'm the bassist). I did all the programming and hardware stuff.

I think what started me down the anti-React path was realizing that there were other frameworks out there that don't even use a virtual dom. Plus you get tired of being told that the most obvious and intuitive way to do various things in React actually goes against some best practice that they've established.

As someone who works with typescript daily, you're not wrong. It's an extremely overcomplicated glorified linter that tries and mostly succeeds in catching basic type errors. But it also provides false confidence when you concoct something that shows no errors but doesn't behave how you expect.

At least until it gets direct dom manipulation and multithreading...

Same here! I remember when Digg only supported single-level replies. Good times...

I had one of those that was grandma-owned but the transmission shit the bed within 5k miles. What a pos.

I understood what he was talking about instantly... but only because I did the same thing with the brake when I was a kid.
