TIL the Signature Model S & X only have their actual number out of 250 on the screen. $160k and they can't individually number them physically on the dash. They all say "1 of 250" πŸ˜‚

pacman should just be *the* package manager because everything else sucks
>Buy piece of professional software on linux "Ey whatchu got for installers, boss" "self extracting .run file, only works with 'buntu. specifically 20.04 LTS. If you update your system it breaks, annoying to uninstall later on." "why not flatpak, boss?" "that would require we pay someone to implement proper portals support in the application... and a yaml file"

hilarious how the hemi absolutely sucks yet it just won't die!!
Ram buyers are odd They won't buy a I6 1500, has to be a v8 They also won't buy a V8 2500, has to be l6

coming from a car guy: society should absolutely not be more accommodating to cars.
Replying to @alisha_hg
Thats a horribly inefficient waste of time. You probably end up spending close to 5 hours just in grocery stores every week if you do this (nevermind the extra hours spent walking there and back as well), when you add up shopping waiting in line. I'd rather just do 2-3 weeks worth of shopping at once in <2hours, drive my groceries right to my front door, and then not have to go to a store again for a few weeks There's a reason no one who gets a license ever uses public transit or walks anywhere ever again if they dont have to - its way worse in every way. Society should be more accommodating to cars, not less. Bike lanes for example, should be illegal

electron is like if you bought a hairdryer and it came with a generator because your wall power apparently just isn't good enough
May 31
Electron hate is one of the most confidently wrong opinions in tech. People say it like they've cracked something open. "Discord is just a website." "VS Code is Chrome with a titlebar." Yeah, and your kitchen knife is just shaped metal. The framing tells you nothing about whether the thing is actually good. Writing a real cross-platform native app is brutally hard, and not because the logic is complicated. Every platform has different UI conventions, different system APIs, different accessibility models, different font rendering, different input handling. Write a macOS app in Swift and it looks great on macOS and doesn't exist anywhere else. Want Windows? WinUI, WPF, take your pick, each with its own learning curve and its own special set of things that don't quite work right. Linux? Qt or GTK, both of which produce apps that feel slightly wrong on every platform they target, and you're maintaining all of this in parallel, same features across three codebases, three bug trackers, three build pipelines, three sets of platform-specific nonsense to debug Or use Electron with just oneOne codebase. "Electron uses too much RAM." VS Code idles around 150-300MB on a typical project. Sounds bad until you check what else is open. Chrome with four tabs is using 800MB. Your JetBrains IDE, fully native, compiled to the JVM, is sitting at 1.2GB before you've opened a single file. The native Slack alternative someone built in Qt uses 90MB, sure, but it also hasn't shipped a new feature in two years and the emoji picker breaks on HiDPI and nobody is fixing it. Memory is cheap. The RAM argument is almost always made by people who don't look at what their "good" native apps are actually consuming. Chromium is good. It is one of the most tested, most optimized pieces of software running on consumer hardware right now. The rendering is fast. V8 is fast. The security model has sandboxed processes and site isolation baked in, which is more than most native apps bother with. Embedding it in a desktop framework is not a betrayal of some pure native ideal. It's using a genuinely good piece of engineering for a job it's good at. The app is not slop because it runs on Chromium. The app is slop if the team who built it didn't care. Those are different things. Maybe stop confusing them.
