@nikitonsky had to boot into windows 10 for cross-platform development reasons for the first time in months, haven't seen anything quite this bad but the whole experience is similarly shoddy. Thankfully I learned you can turn off their "periodic welcome experience suggestions" in the settings. Absolute dogshit OS, can't believe I stuck with it for so long.

@nikitonsky Sorry, it seems you picked on a not a real or not-so-relevant reason for closing our app. We have restarted our app on your device automatically, have a nice day.

@nikitonsky It's funny to see that the Cancel button is on the right side.

Totally forgot that java.sql.Connection is not multi-threaded. Datomic makes everything so easy it’s hard to go back

Wait, Mexico isn’t yellow in real life?

It’s rare in our field these days, so I think it’s worth calling out:

macOS AirPods autoconnect feature used to be terrible, and now it’s great. They changed the logic and it does what it needs to now.

If you disabled it in the past, give it another try

@nikitonsky well, in 14.2 they stopped to automatically connect for me at all, now I have to manually select audio output device each time :)

I rotated some labels in Dan Gulotta puzzle devjoe.appspot.com/huntindex/p so that you can solve it without turning your head upside down. Enjoy!

1. YouTube shortens link text (why? I don’t know)
2. They put shortened URL into href (!!!)
3. Links stop working
4. They write custom javascript onClick handler to intercept clicks
5. Intercepted clicks work, but right-mouse clicks or middle button click still don’t

This industry is beyond saving

Babar :emacs:

@nikitonsky probably because they want to intercept user click for analytics. That would explain why the text is shortened and why you can’t right click to copy link.

I never thought I’d hold the entire Unicode in my hands, but here we are. It’s huge!

Thanks to Johannes Bergerhausen and his decodeunicode project typografie.de/produkt/decodeun

(Technically, it’s just first plane, so about 1/3 of it)

Niki Tonsky

Unicode is a solved problem, they said

@nikitonsky A couple of forums I participate in use this "the future is stupid" potato for things like this.

@nikitonsky probably didn't pay for their web hosting

Wow. How well-chosen quote can change the point of the source for the opposite. Read the quoted part, then the original daringfireball.net/linked/2023

I’m with you, George, I’m with you

@nikitonsky both of them are “finished software is good”, no?

@nikitonsky Грубер умеет писать хорошие материалы и я частенько с ним согласен, но тут он вырвал из контекста совсем не объяснив, настоящий смысл статьи.

BTW these large scary for-loops are just simple mathematical expressions

Video came out 6 hours ago. Marked as fully watched. The funny thing is, it’s been at least a week since I last watched that guy.

It’s crazy how brittle YouTube progress tracking is. All you need is to reliably store one integer per video. Impossible

Alex Zakhlestin

@nikitonsky did you consider human factor? (some other device with your authorization used by family member, etc.)

@nikitonsky I'm not surprised about such bugs after I downloaded my files from google docs and half of them were missing in the archive

You wouldn’t believe the year I’m living in
