- Comment on Steam has the best UI 3 days ago:
You say that, but it applies to any store website, and yet most of them are abysmal.
- Comment on Yet they know what dishware I'm looking for... 1 week ago:
Which is not in any way shady or unexpected. Airplane mode is supposed to stop your device from emitting any radio signals. GPS receivers only receive signals and don’t send any, so there is no reason for GPS not to work in airplane mode.

And not so you are not accused of stealing? That’s my reason of getting receipts.
- Comment on New delivery 2 weeks ago:
I presume the detection is so that it can send you a notification for “someone at your doorstep” vs “package at your doorstep”, not for when you are actually looking at the footage.
- Comment on New delivery 2 weeks ago:
I guess “person” would be a useful one.
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 2 weeks ago:
Current self-driving cars
So you agree they exist. You are just saying they are not good. Just like the printer that only works sometimes is still a printer that exists, it’s just bad at being one.
But we are just arguing semantics.

Do you also complain that the movie Titanic wasn’t 30 seconds long? After all that’s all you need to show how the ship.
Thankfully most media isn’t about addressing the literal title.
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 2 weeks ago:
They not working in all cases is a qualifier you are adding yourself though. There are definitely existing self-driving cars. There are no self-driving cars that can handle all situations, but being perfect or finished is not a prerequisite for something existing.

It’s AI slop, there is nothing “supposed” about it, just some hallucinated text.

JWST?

I didn’t say anything about Mars, I only meant the Moon mission, which I assume would slightly push the record further.
- Comment on billions & billions 1 month ago:
If Musk guts NASA, then surely it would be in an attempt to benefit SpaceX and himself, e.g. by removing regulations or funneling more money to SpaceX, and with that accelerating his Moon landing program, not pushing it back.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 1 month ago:
On the sexuality/gender thing. They are actually required to ask this in the UK. It would be illegal for them not to ask. This is because employers are required to report these statistics to the government to prove they are not influencing hiring decisions.
- Comment on Anon shares how they survive 1 month ago:
Do you consider yourself unemployed? I’d say you aren’t if you are already hired for the next job.
- Comment on Anon shares how they survive 1 month ago:
Correct, you can have PhD and be a NEET. What matters is that you are currently unemployed, and not studying/training either.

Brave is malware that should never be used. If you need a Chromium based browser, Vivaldi is a good choice. Otherwise Firefox.
- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 2 months ago:
People say “Pokemon with guns” as if the guns were some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It’s a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
Yeah, the environmental issues that are orders of magnitude less problematic than literally pumping the toxic chemicals into the atmosphere like with fossil fuels, vs comparatively miniscule amount of solid waste to store inert.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
Micronaut and Vert.X also work, and with Kotlin you unlock that ecosystem as well, for example Ktor. One could argue whether Spring is still a modern framework. It works very well, but there is a lot of “magic” and hard to understand annotations with Spring that make it harder to learn and debug than it could be.
Of course the reality in enterprise environments is that change is often very difficult and such changes are a hard sell when you already have millions of lines of Spring code.
But if you are not locked to Spring, there are better options. DI being build in is another negative to me. Spring does everything, and any project using it becomes a “Spring project”. Which robs you of any choice. If you use Ktor for example, it’s only a library, not a framework, and only does the web component. You choose your own DI library that works for you, you choose your own serialization, you choose your own persistence/database solutions, and you can replace with Ktor with something else 3 years down the line, if needed, without touching any of the other parts if the project.

I use IntelliJ Idea. The free Community Edition is all you need.

And GUI is even easier and faster with Compose.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
I thought I like Java until I tried Kotlin. It’s everything I liked about Java, but with everything wring with it fixed.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
And much of the confusion and frustration at “Java” is actually because of Spring, or the “enterprise” nonsense making everything unnecessarily complex. You can just… write Java without any of that.
You shouldn’t though, because Kotlin exists, which fixes everything that’s wrong with Java while still being 100% compatible, so even in legacy projects you can mix and match and write new code in Kotlin without needing to rewrite any of the existing Java.

It’s just a phone number on the website. It’s macOS/iOS that decides that clicking one should open FaceTime, and the restaurant has nothing to do with this.

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.

Have you tried that fun fact? I know there was a meme claiming it, but I have never found any evidence of it actually being true, nor did I manage to replicate it on Amazon.
