Imagine if we have 40 variants of assembly. Would software development have developed at the same pace?

Personally for me, I am much less interested in the implementation in frontend and more interested in performance, accessibility, responsiveness, etc.

Frontend frameworks are just means to an end. If we can standardize to one, then I will have more time to focus on the more important parts.

More discussion should be had if the cascade is even beneficial in the first place.

It's ironic because standard software development practices advocate isolation.

I created a whole Counterstrike map back in the day in a few days.

Meanwhile, I can't get anything substantially done in Blender in a week. I just gave up.

My 6xx still worked when I left it at home when moving countries for my siblings to use. I really loved that headphone!

Didn't know that. This probably explained why MacOS felt sluggish compared to my Windows PC even though I was using them on the same 144hz monitor.

The Mac Pro would have been much more popular if MacOS was still compatible with Nvidia GPUs.

I find it much easier to cull photos quickly now by thinking that a bad photo will unlikely become a great photo just because you edited it.

If it doesn't catch my attention on my first culling pass, I just delete without regrets.

My process is to take a lot of photos, then ruthlessly cull them before I do any editing.

I usually keep around 10% of the total photos for editing. After that, I do another round of culling and keep only the best.

I also follow a philosophy of "good enough". If left to my own devices, I would probably endlessly edit photos.

I edit a single photo for around 3 minutes. That way, I will not feel stuck.

Genuinely asking: if you are touch typing, do you really need keyboard backlighting?

I feel its because of iOS aggressive RAM saving feature rather than the lack of RAM.

I know this because I still get some of my web pages refreshed even if the browser is literally the only app that is running.

I agree. In my youth, I will just read anything that catches my fancy.

Nowadays, I have to be picky about what books I read, even one amongst a pool of books that I like.

That or I have to reduce my time for my other hobbies.

It has always been a trade off of security and convenience.

The fact is most people will favor the latter.

For me, it's just deteriorating attention span.

It's hard for me to get into books nowadays. But if I manage to get through a few pages, the momentum carries me through.

I don't hate reading. I just have trouble starting.
