I accept my load of hallucinations and disguised approximations in exchange of relatively adfree neutral answers. That’s the only reason why I don’t go back on Google/DuckDuck for now. But as soon as I’ll see corporate bullshit forced into my chat, that’ll mark the end of my chat bot use

Very good explanation.

Remind me the deadly heat wave told in the book The Ministry for the Future when the whole town go to the lake to find freshness and only found jacuzzi conditions

At the time computers were totally useless for everyone but big firms, banks and military. Ads for computers were rare and confined in specialized magazines. For mundane people, computers started to be actually useful (like money earning useful) 20 years latter at least. That’s how I understand your approximative comparison

Yeah I feel old too.

That behind said, I don’t think a modern drawing tool is inherently less capable than an older one to produce magic. Digital painting used to have limitations in comparison with traditional technics, but a good 2d illustrator can do gorgeous drawings with a tablet nowadays.

When I see magic in animated movies, its when people do things by love and passions, and not for seeking additional profit. Flow and Arcane are examples of animation with such ingredients.

I’ve seen code in my workplace using parseInt to round JS Number. Made me cringe coming from system programing but I didn’t see the danger.

It’s sad the only way to prevent such a bad code in production is to use transpilers.

The post refers SSHFS which is based upon FUSE, a very neat technology in the Linux kernel which allows a non-kernel develloper - says a python developer-to turn anything into a hierarchy of files and folders, that you can access and modify with your regular local applications. When I says anything, I’m dead serious, FUSE may turn the whole internet into a fake browsable tree of local files on your system. On windows, you have to write a fake disk driver to mimic a fraction of the feature. I don’t know ios but I guess Apple wouldn’t never allow such a wizardry by design.

I had to read your comment to get it was a crossover. Yet I love it.
