They’re not taller (where height is the height of the cylinder), their diameter is larger. Since holders have the pin a fixed distance from the wall, this extension gives a few centimeters extra between the pin and the wall, allowing for the extra diameter

Very cool societal ideas. Please do not have children.

I don’t think you understand. Would it be nice if society was less dependant on phones for everything social? Sure. It is your kid’s responsibility to evangelize to their peers that they have to? Absolutely not.

This isn’t a societal question. This is about affording a kid a social life at all. If a kid doesn’t have a phone when all their peers have one, there’s no “oh well simply only go to events that are shared on something else than phones”, because there are no such events. There’s no “oh well only socialize with people who will make the effort to only have conversations in person”, because there will be at best one kid in the entire school that also doesn’t have a phone (hint: they’ll be the “weird” kid).

This is equivalent to your parents saying “you may only talk to people at school, you aren’t allowed to talk to anyone once you leave school.” Surely you understand that this is a surefire way to completely ostracize and socially stunt your kid, and for what benefit? The only thing you gain is that you get to not parent your kid about safe internet use, a thing you really should be doing anyway because they’re going to get internet access at some point.

If you wanted to socially stunt them maybe. Please never do this.

Womp womp, bad game runs bad

I think (hope) sigma grindset is a joke, in the way that it makes fun of entrepreneur influencers by being so out of line it can’t possibly be true. I have however no proof to offer.

That was clear. Your distribution (or flathub) takes care of distribution (shocker, I know), so there’s no costs associated with publishing a new update.

This is linux, updates comme free with your OS.

Paid and for what? I don’t see anything in there that isn’t table stakes? I’m sorry but “download queue” isn’t a feature, it’s the most basic thing that I would expect a launcher to have.

I genuinely can’t see why anyone would pay for this much less subscription 💀

Okay so basically this is saving bytes on a technicality but also good programming language design (for this specific purpose).

The first aspect is that since you’re scored on bytes, it’s not really to your advantage to use a language that uses ascii (or utf-8) for it’s tokens, because a large part of it is unprintables like DEL or BELL. So people have designed specially crafted golfing programming languages that use a full 256 possible characters in order to pack as many features as possible in as few bytes as possible.

The good design part of it is that if you really think about it hard, there’s really not that many things you expect a programming language to do. It turns out that 256 total different operands is about in the sweet spot, so each character that’s available in the 1-byte code page is mapped to one command, and the languages are also designed to make as many things as possible implicit, both at the cost of readability. Remember, all that matters here is getting the lowest score, not code maintainability or anything else.

This leads to languages like japt (which is a terse form of JavaScript, I’m pretty sure) or pyth (same for python) or Vyxal (my personal favorite, used to be python based but is now bespoke) that look like this but absolutely own at getting a task out in as few bytes as possible.

Oh shit fr?

China is restricted from buying the machines necessary for high-end semiconductors, so not china either

Publishers under the impression that they somehow deserve “billion of dollars” more money than they already get for checks notes being a middleman.

Oh yeah definitely, that’s a major problem that’s specifically created by this policy.

It prevents you from jobs like airline pilots, the rationale being that placing someone potentially suicidal in control of a plane full of people isn’t a good idea. The rationale doesn’t really make total sense but you can see why they’d think that way.
