I can't help but notice the new Apple laptops rate "Video Playback 22 hours, Web Browsing 15 hours" under battery life.

Congratulations web developers everywhere, it's now more computationally intense to render a webpage than video playback!

@kkarhan @fuchsiii i have a green one "donated" by a friend. it looks great, but

  1. the keys are very easy to miss. the space in between each circle keycap is enough for your entire finger to fall into
  2. you need a screwdriver if you ever want to take the batteries out. it has a very quick standby mode (giving you random dropouts) but no way to actually power off
  3. there's nowhere to keep the USB receiver in the keyboard so you will lose it unless you like, tape it to the back or something

    and are you working 100% of the time?

  • "but xyz only works on chrome"

    i wish i still lived in 2010 too

kerning matters because sometimes you actually wanted to buy 10 fuckering lights

@andrewt well i wasn't trying to be too serious :blobtongue:

personally, i think python's negative indexing (and slicing!) is extremely useful and i grok that lua's index-from-one stems more from historical reasons (and i prefer to be able to use rather than -1 to get to the last element of a list)

@andrewt does it help knowing that lua doesn't have arrays and you can index tables with whatever you want, including the number 0?

@madewokherd oh! yeah, we feel a bit the same

but also it was something that like, didn't occur to us until it was put into words and was a "oh" moment

especially in how in the larger context of where i saw it it related to trauma
