imagine if we just turned off 90% of the non-critical internet for two weeks, hardened up in an absolute mad dash where everyone has access to top tier cyber models, and then afterwards we go back to business as usual. it’d be a disaster short-term but long-term would it be worse than the years of slow drip we’re about to go through? idk! I kinda think it’d be interesting to find out!

then why are both priced like sonnet?

I think the point is pretty clearly “Apple should do better and provide better tools”

good for you man.

curious about this jsr.io thing linked in the article. as a package author, the promise of a package registry that makes things “just work” really excites me, but the website provides no real details.

I would never look them in the eyes again if I found out someone did this to me.

not to be the “but rust” person, but I’m curious why Rust wasn’t in the test group. it seems to meet all their criteria, though the community was a bit smaller back then.

Go is a perfectly reasonable choice though, and easier to learn on average.

it’s absolutely the right way to do it. third party clients are a dying breed, because people have forgotten why they’re necessary.

going off of you saying “micro port” I think you’re talking about USB B.

calling USB A “legacy” and a “relic” is so misplaced. we all still own USB A devices. I challenge the author to go find a wired keyboard or mouse that comes with a USB C plug. it’s possible, but not easy.

the thing is, we could just have both! this isn’t some winner/loser scenario. the real question should be why these computers with enough bandwidth for 11+ connectors don’t at least split the difference with 6/5 of each. gives device manufacturers enough confidence that customers will be able to plug in the thing they bought, and gives consumers the ability to plug in anything and everything they need. then in 5 years when things have advanced we can start talking about entirely consolidating on USB C.

again, I would really like to hear what the "activists" are demanding that you think is so unreasonable.

that's a lot to assume from a couple words on a website, but if you're this fun at parties we must really be missing out.

also btw, hi, it's me, the coward who wrote the prose for the website. tho it wasn't _just_ me that thought it was a good idea. it's done a terrific job of keeping "un-politic" buzz kills away.

trans rights are incredibly well defined, actually. they’re human rights. trans people deserve the same rights as every other human. idk what “problematic statements” you’ve heard but it sounds like you need to listen to less ben shapiro. saying you’ve heard “several” without providing any examples sounds like you just don’t like trans people.

I think it’s safe to assume that when a community claims to contain “no nazi bullshit”, they mean that it contains no nazis or their associated bullshit. if you’re worried that that includes you or people you sympathize with, ask yourself “_why_?”, because it makes a lot of sense to everyone in the quite active gleam community.

bit biased, but we use coder (I work at coder)
