"I still do. But I used to, too." -Mitch Hedberg

A favorite joke of mine with a similar structure was Dave Attell's

"I used to do drugs waaaay baaaack - there!" And he points to the side of the stage.


Genuine question, do you really own these ROMs or rent them from Steam? Practically speaking, as long as you can move the ROM files, sure. But legally?


You licence it.

In response to California law requiring this to be made clear, they have updated the purchase screens thusly: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/10/steam-now-reminds-you...


enshittification? No papers as far as I'm aware


I'm out of the loop, what was the fiasco?


These may help:

Basically the P CPUs are much faster than U in previous generations but are also much more power hungry. The battery life is noticably shorter on laptops with a CPU like i5-1240P. And they produce a LOT of heat. I think one CPU option for framework laptop is i5-1240P.


Offtopic, the cookie screen on this site is one where you have to unconsent manually for each vendor


Block all 3d-party content and you won't have any such problems. The site still works as intended. Use this as the default for uBlock Origin and you'll be spared many if not most of these obtrusive dark-patterned "consent" things.


No, that’s not the point. It’s simply not compliant with GDPR, and they expose themselves to litigation with it.


I have listened to Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner soundtracks countless times while developing or just spending time behind the computer. Thanks for making the time go by better Vangelis!

What's the carbon footprint for these services? Would be interesting to calculate how much would an average free tier usage pollute. Are there any available numbers from these products?


This seems like it would be hard to pin down, since it would vary widely from project to project. It would kind of be like asking 'what's the carbon footprint of a dev running a test?'. Well, that depends on the complexity of the code they're testing, what computer they're using, what language they're using, the climate of their workspace, and so on.


There's a Finnish stand-up comedian who also pondered on the many possibilities of the English word "ass". This is him on Conan's talk show: https://youtu.be/RAGcDi0DRtU

Funny enough, he mentions the same things the article does, especially the end of it.


All this, and yet you can't move forwards or backwards, when there are other files in the folder. I would be gladly wrong if someone could point out how to do this in Preview


It seems like you can move to the next or previous file with tab + up/down arrow keys.

I just found out by mashing all the buttons I could think of. :-)


This is not exactly it. What I meant was, something what IrfanView does: when you open an image (or any file the program can read), you can press a button to open the (alphabetically?) next or previous image in the same folder.

Looks like Preview only has this, when you select all files and open them (Cmd+O). Wish it was like IrfanView.


I’m confused here , so like if you’re in a folder with a file selected and hit the space bar , does pressing the arrow keys not preview the next file for you ?


It does not


Try up/down arrows, not left/right.


Nope, does not work.


To scan the files in your folder like that you can use quicklook. Just press space to open the first one and use the arrows to navigate. Another super power of macOS.


And I can add additional information next to the todo:

  // todo: todo


This is my real gripe. Let's not pretend "TODO" is the end of the comment.


Nobody did?

The article's goal is clearly to provide a quick categorisation of the TODO, rather than require reading the description to discover it: if I'm trying to debug something and reach a bit of code with a bunch of TODOs it's not going to help me much, if I see a FIXME or BUG I'm going to be a lot more interested.

Sometimes the TODO us sufficient through it context (e.g. a docstring empty but for a TODO stanza is obviously a missing doc), but often it's not and is the documentary equivalent of a goto.


The article is clearly to break our tools and search capacity. If you want to add categorization, do add, instead of replacing, like the GP does.


> The article is clearly to break our tools and search capacity.

Get yourself tools which are not hot garbage? All the ones I use let you customise markers however you want.


> All the ones I use let you customise markers however you want

Customisation requires everyone who ever works on that codebase to also do the customization. Defaults are important


> Customisation requires everyone who ever works on that codebase to also do the customization.

And they can go on the pile of all the others customisations necessary when you don't mandate all the tooling by fiat.

> Defaults are important

Defaults are a tool, when they hinder improvement you discard them.


As long as the second todo is also standardized (TODO: FIXME), so it will play nicely with grep.
