My Mom got me Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and other tools to help me to learn to type "correctly", but I didn't have any motivation to learn how to type until I started playing the original Starcraft online. I needed to be able to communicate with teammates (and trash talk opponents) in a timely manner, so I was forced to learn to type fast. But as a result, I also developed my own unorthodox style that looks a lot like hunt and peck.

On a typing test where they provide me with what to type I can consistently get 60+ WPM, but when I'm typing something from my head I'm pretty sure I get 100 to 120.

>The way these type checkers get fast is usually by not supporting the crazy rich reality of realworld python code.

Nah, that's just part of the parade of excuses that comes out any time existing software solutions get smoked by a newcomer in performance, or when existing software gets more slow and bloated.

Here's one of many examples:

Best workaround (still ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed) is to set a PDF printer as your default printer.

Every community that tried to migrate off reddit to a reddit clone has failed.

r/drama spun off their own site successfully, and I know of another community that did and is thriving using a fork of r/drama's server software (won't say which to keep the normies away)

And the Zizian murder cult sprang out of the bay area rationalist community and trans rights advocacy, what's your point?

Funny you should mention that: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/10/trump-tik...

Yes, Tik Tok still needs to divest ownership or be banned in the US

Doesn't really save 50% of the time if you have both a drill and an impact driver. And I'd rather use a drill to drill and an impact driver to drive, even though both tools can technically do either task.

No it's wrong because of the mess it makes. Which makes even the things that that crowd of people wants to focus on, like wuick scripts or data science, harder.

I used to go out not-drinking with my coworkers (I've been a teetotaler my entire life). The place we went to had free refills for sodas so I downed half a dozen glasses of Fanta while my coworkers were paying $3-$5 a beer. Seems ridiculous to me how much people pay for alcohol.

Or you could just... require proof of citizenship/legal residence for housing, jobs, etc.? No need for Gestapo checking papers.

There are preprocessors like PRQL that help with some (far from all) of the pain points of SQL as a language

>I think it makes more sense to disqualify abusers from the entire takedown system.

The problem with this idea is that there is no "system" you literally just send an email/letter/whatever claiming that you're the rightsholder.

> don't know of any computers that have 64 GiB of RAM.

It's the other way around, most computers have ram in gibibytes but list it as gigabytes. It's mostly hard drive and other storage manufacturers that treat gigabytes as actual gigabytes as a way to skimp out

I like angled brackets for generics but hate double colons. I assume it's because I'm coming to Rust from C# though? I wonder how C++ devs learning Rust feel.

How is it stealing? They don't suddenly not licenses of their software to sell anymore because someone made an unlicensed copy.

Where is sideloading "mandated" on Android?
