It's not gambling if you have information that most of the world doesn't have.

If it was a simple web site without any third party dependencies, you could bookmark it.

I'm not going to download an app for every company I do business with. It's as simple as that.

I'm not going to download an app to order food from your restaurant. I'm not going to download an app to operate an appliance. I'm not going to download an app to get a discount on a beverage at your convenience store.

I don't care about your stupid rewards system for trying to get a reasonable price on overpriced items. I'm not downloading an app for it.

There are many people who download every app they do business with without hesitation. It's crazy. I can't imagine how many apps these people have on their phones.

There are so many people complaining about the Nix language while offering zero constructive criticism. I was a little skeptical about them using a custom language at first. But then as I used it more it grew on me and I understand why it is the way it is.

People just seem to want to complain because it doesn't look like any of their favorite languages and they aren't familiar with functional languages. At this point, I can't imagine using any other language in place of Nix. The code would have so much noise and be much harder to read.

Same, and it lags simply trying to scroll down the page. Unacceptable.

I've never liked the idea of my display having an integrated computer. Especially one I don't control. This non-sense just furthers that.

Displays last a long time. Eventually the computer will become outdated especially if companies can just remotely load viruses like this onto them. I just connect my computer to my TV and that's the only input I ever use. Full control. The "smart" part of "smart" TVs is idiotic.

Been using KDE for years and never had any of these problems.

Ruby doesn't have real modules. You're right, that they are just namespaces. They are global variables with extra typing.

If you use a third party library, when you require something, you have no idea what "modules" or other values it creates polluting the global namespace. This at least assigns those values to a local variable where they can be accessed and doesn't make them global.

That said, I'm not a fan of ruby and all the workarounds to try to make it like a more sane language that it isn't.

Mail out ballots then require an ID when you turn it in. Make it easier to get an ID if that's a problem. It seems pretty simple to me. Not sure why anyone would be against this.

"We do have to consider the undo-functionality and that the toast feedback can be useful when using keyboard shortcuts."

There's nothing more infuriating than going to click undo and the toast disappears.

That's not how that works. It's 50 degrees hotter not 50 degrees as the temperature. Celsius goes up at a rate of 5/9 what fahrenheit does so it's about 28 degrees Celsius.

I can't tell you the number of times I see a project and think to myself "NixOS already solves that problem but better."

What's adds to that annoyance is that the only way to navigate the games is a "prev" link. There's no way to jump directly to a game or go to the next game. This means every day it becomes more time consuming to get to the first game. And if you accidentally refresh the page, have fun!

I can confirm that scrolling through replies does count. So reading the replies to Elon's tweets to figure out what's happening makes you hit the rate limit.
