Hire a goddamn designer you nerds they're more valuable than arguing about abstract methodology no one else gives a poo poo about. That's my take on 90% of arguments with software, especially open source poo poo. People will use a worse program with a nicer interface and they're goddamn right to do so.

While not an excuse, the reason is that the tab spawns a whole new web page instance and wraps your image in some dummy HTML. You can go "inspect element" on the image and see that it has lots of cruft added because treating single pictures in a tab as a special case is hard or something

So, I haven't had the time for a few months to check out this thread, but having scared up 15 minutes tonight, I came straight here, to the last page ITT. Now, for someone not into old skool text editors, and without the time to read all the pages I missed, someone pls tell me, what's happened in the crypto world, in brief? I see that Bitcoin has more than doubled in price since I last looked, but I'm not ignorant/brainwashed enough to think that means it's going "up Up UP!". I think I read the probable reasons for the price increase in a newspaper commentary article some weeks ago, but I forget what it said exactly. Any major exchanges gone bust in the last 6-12 mo.? New scams? Any other notably funny stuff happened? BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Apr 17, 2024 |

Slow news days recently, OP. Mostly just SBF going to jail and now your retirement portfolio has buttcoins or some poo poo where your broker speculates on the price of a buttcoin without having to actually transact buttcoins on the blockchain, I think. People swear up and down this is different than betting on horse races but I just can't understand how. We're just killing time until everything comes tumbling down. I don't think any of us thought you could build a tower this tall out of playing cards.

Neito posted:SBF's in jail for like 25 years or someshit.  Thanks, best laugh of the evening for me.I see there was an article in The Guardian three weeks ago mentioning SBF's sentence, and giving the author's opinion on how it has affected crypto prices. "[Crypto] evangelists are preaching the good news that the industry has been purged of the Sam Bankman-Frieds, the Alex Mashinskys, the Do Kwons and the Changpeng Zhaos of the world. They proclaim that crypto can finally ascend from its purgatorial, 'wild west' days to become a respectable sector of the financial world blessed by regulators and speculators alike. That exultant attitude has contributed to surging cryptocurrency prices, which surpassed previous all-time highs in the weeks leading up to Bankman-Fried’s sentencing of 25 years in prison on Thursday. This relief is unjustified, as is the faith that the cryptocurrency industry will get better and be different. Since Bankman-Fried’s conviction, there have been no changes that would prevent a new crypto mania just as devastating as the last. https://www.theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/2024/mar/28/sam-bankman-fried-prison-crypto-regulation"

People spend too much time wanking about the Unix philosophy, it's not a fuckin dogma that'll get you excommunicated and you can't log in anymore, it's just a good way to make flexible tools. And is there that much difference if the little small tools are compiled C programs invoked from an interactive shell, or interpreted Lisp functions invoked from an editor? Is piping a command to another command that different from invoking one function as the argument of another? Poopy Palpy posted:More interesting to read about than emacs.
