well, they made Lore real. Data was better at arithmetic than poetry, but our AIs are weirdly the other way around

Learning to program was a combination of this, "that was proven logically incoherent", "that was solved in the '70s but we'd have to rewrite every computer program ever", "that's a problem only novices have, so by the time you're good enough to solve it you'll have forgotten", and "wow, great idea!"

Among the oldest surviving works like The Epic of Gilgamesh and Utterance 373 from the Pyramid of King Teti say outright "death sucks, it would be so great not to die."
Popular today to hide from this obvious and painful truth with sophistry to accept what we can't change.
We shouldn't give up.

The rules of hooks are untypechecked invariants that the programmer must maintain. The state monad is usable in Haskell because of the type checker.
It also undermined ecosystem interop by being the last significant library to support rendering custom elements. It was years slower than others.

Popularized the UI = f(state) paradigm with JavaScript people, for which I will be forever grateful. Made a number of choices that undermined the principles I value (the spooky action at a distance of hooks, the magic on top of magic of Next). The current undisputed champion of web frontend.

Excel helpfully converts values by making a guess as to their type. Some genes kinda look like dates. Data corruption ensues, much embarrassment, and geneticists actually renamed the genes to work around the misbehavior.

you replied to my post contesting "if it can be wrong why use it," so it being useless is under contention
excel is a calculator and has bugs and misfeatures that mean that people get wrong answers. people still use excel because it is very useful and saves them time. the same is true with AI

for myself, I'll continue using computer programs, which have made mistakes before, will make them again, and can't be held responsible. I do this because they enrich my life

Better support for play / pause. Flash technically had that, but it failed more often than it worked.
Better sound control. Reliable, easy way to control sound in and out. Web supports this now I think.

Right-click download for preservation. Interactive social media cards, so an animation or game can play inline when linked in chat or a post. Super easy embedding that doesn't let the user-gen content do naughty things with cookies in the embedding site so boorus, boards, forums can natively support

Don't skip the aftercare! Once the scene is over, relax together in a cozy way and talk about it a bit. A chance to cool down from the highs, and to reflect.
It's vulnerable, so you need to take your time, and give room for each other sometimes to build up to what you want to say.

An American landed gentry. One of the best bloggers on tumblr. Kinda right wing but in his own way of it.
His special interest was American culture. I started following him because he saw Trump coming when everyone else dismissed him.
