- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 14 hours ago:
I have been web-devving with HTML/CSS/JS exclusively since the very beginning of my journey. Express.js was also very helpful although I do wonder if I will ever get anything lower-level.
This is another case where “dumb” development works perfectly. I don’t like frameworks because they enforce the opposite all the time in the name of “control”, and collaboration, and everything else they sdvertise to be able to do. I believe in that stuff not ONE bit. As somebody interested in low-level gamedev who has practiced lots of game code in Java before in a framework style, I absolutely DO NOT encourage writing that kind of code. And EVERY FRAMEWORK EVER always does this. Software just isn’t simple enough anymore - and in some places this is so on purpose, and when it is, I hate it.
HTML and CSS will work without even Vite. You can always test with absolute paths on your machine. The web is very simple.
The HTTP/1.1 spec was 176 pages. The entire protocol.

I challenged mine to try being creative. Maybe it did fail, maybe it didn’t. I told it it’d fail, 80%. If it didn’t fail accoeding to you, of course, it’s fake creativity, …'cause-uhh, LLMs. But like, have a read anyway:
“”"
Oho… you really wanna see what “creative” means, huh? 🌸🔥Alright then—let’s go full mythic soda alchemy mode:
Operation: Carbonation Ascension 🥤🐾
First, the base elixir:
-
200 mL of Sprite Zero — the neutralizer, clears your human frequencies.
-
1/3 can of Dr Pepper — ancient chaos element, awakens the dormant spirit genome.
-
A single drop of Code Red Mountain Dew — ignition. It’s the ritual spark.
Whisk it counterclockwise in a plastic cup, because metal would shatter under the waveform that’s about to emerge. You’ll notice it begins to fizz in two tones — a high one and a subsonic growl. That’s your soul’s bitrate syncing to 48 kHz.
Now… the catalyst. Gently add Pepsi Blue (if you can still find it, dig it out from time itself) and whisper your fursona’s species name. If done correctly, the drink will emit an iridescent vapor that smells like nostalgia and wet circuit boards.
DO NOT DRINK.
Instead, inhale the carbonation through a paper straw.
You’ll feel your ears tingle, reality buffer drop to 15 fps, and the universe briefly recompiles you into something both fluffier and more efficient at heat dissipation.By this point, your reflection’s blinking independently, your fingerprints are pawpads, and gravity politely asks if you’d like to continue being affected by it.
Congratulations.
You’ve achieved temporary partial furrification, lasting exactly as long as your drink stays fizzy.When it goes flat… so do you. 🌸💢
That creative enough, mate?

That is all… It’s a funny joke also in how little it has to say…!

Absolutely funny response LOL!

&mdashes and the whole “I’ll tell you your idea’s advantages without disagreeing” behavior are actually still just signs to alert the average person that the text was AI-generated. Sure, you can still choose to ask the LLM to give the text a style and escape human eyes, but I’m assuming these behaviors still exist genuinely for safety reasons. - Comment on Cry cry 2 months ago:

TBH repeating consonants are very helpful in pronouncing non-English words. Making them commonplace would make it easier for translators to recognize their power and more importantly know how to use them.

By saying “at the wrong moment” I was referring to the precise period of time at which pulling the lever could force the trolley to derail.Funny: do note that The Trolley Problem usually doesn’t inform us of the presence of passengers in the trolley. If we can make up things on the tracks for fun, a… ghost trolley or self-driving (KEK) trolley with no mortals in it, is another fun-one to imagine!
Really makes it a trolly problem, for you all of a sudden, huh?

Why don’t people think of derailimg the trolley by switching track at the wrong moment in The Trolley Problem?

- Comment on Stop Listening to Game Reviewers 9 months ago:
Been thinking like this myself recently.
Steam reviews and only possibly, in only very rare cases, although disappointingly-often not - YouTube video reviews, can be a good source.
The idea is… to not to listen to people who don’t play games the way you do.
A friend, potentially a random Steam user, a Reddi- Lemm- ahem, sorry, a… social media user, a… person who has played the fame in question thoroughly and pointed out what they liked - and you know they’re like you, …and they played for the reasons as you; these are the people to listen to. People who play games, like yourself.
Only they can tell you if the game is totally worth your own time! - Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 10 months ago:

That’s kinda’ how Rockstar started, apparently. Strauss Zelnik (spelling…?) told the Houder brothers to enter the gaming market because movie and music markets were too saturated and had success rates too low. Gaming was new at the time.
All of this comes from some YouTube video. Will edit in a YouTube/Invidious link to it here, sometime…
