it would be helpful to know why this was developed!

running data science tasks on constrained systems may be an unfamiliar goal for many on hn, but i can imagine reasons for doing so.

i don't think time moves faster as we age, i think our perceived duration of early life grows because we keep thinking about it.

an icon for "save" will suffice to help me find the portion of the menu with "save as", "save a copy", and "export". when all four have the same icon, or slight variations, i'm back to reading each one to discern the difference.

i'll never give up the em dash. and i will continue to evangelize the en dash from now–forever (hint hint, ranges should use en dashes instead of hyphens).

i had ONE cassette unwind. my less careful friend was always winding them with a pencil. the culprit? button mashing between fast-forward and play.

clarity is good. i believe that was a reference to the futility of posting "i do not consent" messages on social media.

sometimes we make silly errors for years or decades and no one spots them. if you've been saying you hate java bloat/frameworks/whatever and meaning you hate javascript bloat/frameworks/whatever, people would probably agree with both. no one would be the wiser.
