  Are you as tired as I am of seeing scroll containers everywhere? That they make all interfaces wobbly and give a feeling of poor construction? Like you can’t rely on things if they are not stable and move that easily for no good reason

  You are absolutely right! I should not have injured a human being or, through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm!

  Websites that intercept clicks on links and break cmd+click, middle mouse click, copy link etc as a result. I’m not mad, I just want to understand. What are you trying to achieve? What, in a perfect world, can you do better with my click than what browser already does? HOW DOES ONE IMPROVE A CLICK?

  Jira patch viewer already was my favorite thing (page marging! page breaks!) but today I looked under the hood and it is even more hilarious. Apparently patches are rendered as SVG (!!! for text!), and at what appears to be 1/4 of screen resolution somehow, and then scaled up with nearest neighbor. On top of that all, text selection/copy-paste doesn’t work. Thank god it’s staying ahead of times with AI

  TIL that 1.44 MB floppy disks were neither 1.44 * 1024 * 1024 bytes nor 1.44 * 1000 * 1000 bytes, but... 1.44 * 1000 * 1024 bytes! C in “floppy disk” stands for consistency

  I just realized Anthropic CEO’s prediction that 90% of the code will be written by agents did come true. But not in a sense that existing projects will switch to agents. Github currently sees 10x more code, right? And all that new slop comes from LLMs. That’s exactly 90%!

  Sublime Text is great not because it froze in time, but because the time it froze in was the best time for software. People were making products good for users, and corporations haven’t figured out yet how to exploit or sell users

  I’m not sure what this means but Gregorian calendar kinda fits nicely on a traditional 12-hour watch face. 12 months, 12 hours. This shows Oct 4, for example
