Would they? Why not just shape your ship like a big torus so as you fly the bombs go right through your central axis?

I'll probably buy and sell on opening day. The hype train is worth making a quick trade on.

Long term? Way, way less interested.

Disney+ is truly unmitigated dogshit. It constantly chokes and stutters, seems to cause my NVIDIA Sheild to peg its CPU and/or page to disk, or something, to the point where it becomes unresponsive for multiple seconds at a time. I genuinely cannot understand how you could so utterly bungle software that's been a solved problem for over a decade.

Zed's not a VSCode clone, and it's fantastic and OSS. They don't really have a business model that I see working though, IMO. I pay them purely because I love the editor, but the editor is free. The AI integration is what you pay for, but I just run claude code in a terminal.

> Regardless of what I do, the days I decide to wash my car, it ALWAYS rains the day after

Undeniable universal truth. I sometimes find myself making plans based on the fact that the most annoying possible outcome is also the most likely one.

Bikewear in particular is a bit hilarious. I'm 5'9", 150lb, so a bit smaller than you, but I have significantly more muscle in my upper body than the typical serious cyclist build. In my experience, the more high-end the bike clothes, the more they expect you to be shaped like a TDF rider, which is to say literally zero upper body mass.

So I have almost the opposite problem from you, where an M is usually reasonable for me on the bottom, but _comically_ tight on top. Even an L is usually way too tight through the chest and biceps for me, but now not long enough in the arms.

I just live with it, because whatever, I don't mind the top being a little tight, but it is frustrating.

I dunno if you are aware, but you can use the diff/merge standalone. My gift to you:

     [mergetool "intellij"]
     cmd = 'intellij-idea-ultimate-edition' merge "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$BASE" "$MERGED"
     trustExitCode = true

Really cool project. Any plans to port the API to other languages? My use case for something like this is to represent types that are used on either side of FFI (Rust <--> Some other language). Pairing this with a code generator for the shared types would be great. That's something flatbuffers/capnproto do well that isn't just pure speed.

Seriously this explains so much. I thought I was going crazy, or just becoming an old man who can't type on a phone any more.

That's super duper cool, but, it doesn't refute my statement. If what you're saying is "you can do anything you want at a level that will challenge you". Yeah, sure, but not at a level comparable to the best of the best.

I mean that's just obviously, objectively, not true. If you're born with 12-inch legs you are _not_ going to be an elite marathon runner. Heck, even if you're born with average genetics, you're not going to be an elite runner.

What would make us think the same thing isn't true of mental activities? Obviously there's a lot more noise in the signal, and it's a lot more subjective, but there's pretty much 0% chance that if anyone just "tries hard enough" they can become a genius.

+1 to this copy being a little bit over-the-top. This is neat, but, as you pointed out at the end of the day this is still computationally equivalent to normal 2d cellular automata. I suspect (not taking the time to prove this) that it's equal in a fairly obvious way, which is that you could just replace "links" with 8*<num link states> additional sub-states per cell. The only real difference is just in how it's visualized.

So, neat, but not exactly mindblowing.

You probably do. Many people just never notice that. It's not about typing or reading fast either, it's just about how it feels. Typing into something with shitty latency feels like dragging my fingernails across a chalkboard.

It's the same with high dpi monitors. Some people (me included) are driven absolutely insane by the font rendering on low density monitors, and other people don't even notice a difference.

Honestly, consider yourself blessed. One less thing in the world to annoy you.

When I say "any language" when interviewing candidates, I mean it. I would be stoked if someone busted out J in an interview.

Of course, my team also writes SDKs in a bunch of different languages, so it makes sense. Even if that weren't the case though, I'd be stoked. To your point though, early in your career, I get your viewpoint. It's hard out there to get a foot in the door and you have to seize opportunities.

Would be a massive win that's fairly narrow in scope. More generally, being able to send arbitrary LSP commands to the server and see the response, even if it's just a text dump, would be super useful.

Love the project! I would say the only thing stopping me from moving over full time is a Git porcelain, but I'm sure you guys know that. Keep up the great work!

It's crazy to me that more people don't realize this. You're working crazy hours, have no meaningful hobbies or life outside of work... and for what? No one's going to remember that you built some nice feature in some bit of software in 100 years, or even 20. Enjoy your life, enjoy people and community and activities. You can still get paid incredibly well as an engineer, more than enough to live comfortably, and work a normal 40 hour week (or less).

People prioritize weird shit.

This kind of exactly misses the point the comment you're replying to is making. The point isn't that just complying and handing over your info is the ideal goal. The point is that, pragmatically speaking, it's a lot easier to just do that and move on with your life than making a big scene about standing up for your ideals - because A) You're not going to change shit in that situation anyway and B) It's just going to make it harder for you.

> Something a schoolyard bully would say to the kid who's too small to defend themself but refuses to comply.

Yeah, probably right. But, also, yeah, easier sometimes to just appease the bully and move on with life.

> as if the Roman empire wasn't on par with the western empire today

Huh? I mean, no, technologically it... definitely wasn't. Remind me how many teraflops the most powerful Roman computer was capable of?

The Romans were plenty advanced, sure, but that's just a nonsense statement.
