There’s also the phenomenon where you make a forum post and then immediately solve it after (or even before) you submit it. Although that is more because it forces you to think through the problem systematically.

once you know how to use linux, you can stop fixing everyone elses problems for them.

I know you meant being able to claim “I don’t use Windows” but just installing Linux has massively lowered the tech support requests I get from my parents.

…I withdraw my question.

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

My secret shame.

In Rand McNally, people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people!

four- or five-episode series.

It was six episodes. That’s how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.

True, but being the only person willing to do something is kind of laudable in it’s own right. Like all of the open source projects relied upon by millions that are sometimes developed primarily by one person in their free time.

DDG results weren’t too bad, although repetitious and focused on the history of the gag, and not particular examples.

absolutely grotesquely bad Apple Maps they integrate

You can use !maps query to workaround that. I typically end up using DDG as a frontend to other sites through its bangs syntax.

E.g.

!maps x location to y location

But yeah, if normal DDG results don’t work for you it’s probably not a huge gain.

In fact, if you are capable of the admittedly high bar of self hosting, use bit warden instead.

Vaultwarden, typically, because it’s fully free and more resource efficient. But bitwarden as the client of course.

Shh Lisa, the dog is barking!.

At first glance, sure it would be easier to read, but if you have to look for the types then things get much harder. Either the types will be in comments, on different lines, or in a different file entirely.

This is pretty much how OCaml works and you can omit the types altogether if you don’t specify an interface file, in most cases. But it’s not hard to deal with in practice since IDEs (and text editor + LSP plugin) can easily show the inferred type on inspection.

Nevertheless, I don’t really find Rust to be ugly either.
