Inventing Snow Crash. Neat.

Hmmm. I select "line > 2 points" and attempt to draw a line. I see nothing when I move my mouse over the canvas or click.

In a default native install, I get a crosshair and grid dots, and when I select "line > 2 points" I can click on the canvas twice and I get a line between those locations.

Edit: All tools appear to be broken and clicking on the canvas after selecting a tool doesn't draw anything.

Google Chrome Version 150.0.7871.46 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I also tried in an incognito tab in case it was an extension or cache issue, still nothing.

Agreed, I have no experience with VC anything, but I was still nodding along the whole time as I was reading.

This is extremely useful and cool. I dream of having visualizations like this for anything I buy that has specifications.

Kind of crazy to me that anyone would block an entire TLD. This timeline is bizarre. How often and with what services do you find zip blocked? Genuinely curious

Yeah. It was so obvious to me I didn't think about it until I read the comments. Makes sense that it would trip some people up, though.

What is the point of this? Apparently a minivan can be built using 170 parts.

At that level of abstraction, this is useless.

It's really funny that the first thing in the article is a graph showing a long downward trend with a tiny, brief uptick circled at the end and then the entire article appears to be written about that.

The browser extension "DeArrow" is well worth a look.

Every once in a while, I try LLMs just to see how improvement is going.

Yesterday I had to explain to Opus what the color white is and what "bottom right" means after it declared problems fixed, repeatedly, that a literal preschooler would have been able to tell were absolutely unchanged from the original problem description.

I am still waiting for this world of redundant programmers I've been hearing about for years.

What a strange take. Does this also apply to every soldier in the armed forces? Seems your criteria is equally applicable there.

The relevant people that can do the research and write future policies based on the data obviously will have the information. Not sure what good you think that you personally having it can do.

I'm so confused. I've resin printed DnD minis for everyone in several of the campaigns I've played in. They all love them. Yes, there were gloves. Yes, there was alcohol baths, but I just dropped them in the automatic washer and walked away for ten minutes.

The entire manual involvement for me from hitting go on the printer to handing out their minis to my friends, ready to be painted, I would estimate at just over five minutes per mini. This includes removing supports. This reads like it was written in 2010, not 2025.

I get what you're saying in this comment. And separate from that concept I'm adding on: "Going to?"

Context is important when telling a story. I say the title is fair.
