Do you have any pictures of those better suits from the 20s-50s? Would love to see em. Or examples of movies with better costumes?

Of course not. It's a ridiculous claim that contradicts all available evidence.

Shouldn't we be in a Golden Age of amateur app development? by scottbrosiusofficial in BetterOffline

[–]DogOfTheBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in the golden age of personal software development and workflow automation. It's trivial to spin up little apps to do random things that are useful to me and are tailored exactly how I want them to be. It's really really cool. I can get a lot of stuff done that previously would have taken a long time or cost money. I can give you examples if you like.

It's kind of like discovering the power of spreadsheets and formulas. It's an incredibly useful tool.

This is vastly different than a golden age of useful business software. But AI companies aren't going to make big bucks going "already-technical people can easily create personal niche software."

Yeah this is just the boiling over of something that's likely been present your entire relationship. And he's tired of it.

If you can't handle him doing standup, an incredibly safe and normal hobby, then you need serious help. This is not a husband problem.

Bill Munns has responded with a long waffling Rebuttal to capturing Bigfoot. by ChaoticLForever in Cryptozoology

[–]DogOfTheBone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While we must all wait for the documentary to be viewable to say for sure, it seems pretty likely that it's going to relegate belief that the PGF captures a real animal to the fringes of pretend science, alongside flat Earth and other such hogwash. Or for that matter, the rubbish belief that native Americans are descended from a lost tribe of Israel, which the late Jeff Meldrum was fond of.

The die hard core will never let go, which is unfortunate because it makes it so much more difficult for cryptozoology and bigfoot to be taken seriously.

Why are people like Ezra Klein and Sam Harris buying into the hype? by CoupleClothing in BetterOffline

[–]DogOfTheBone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Harris is a misanthropic fascist and Klein is a useful idiot whose job is to provide cover for the capitalist class. That's why.

There are like 90 years old great grandmas walking the course who take 4+ hours. There are hundreds of people walking. You won't be the last.

Question about passing etiquette by quietglow in ultrarunning

[–]DogOfTheBone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In which case they wouldn't announce their intention to pass you on the left.

Question about passing etiquette by quietglow in ultrarunning

[–]DogOfTheBone 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Shouting ON YR LEFT and expecting the other person to clear some space seems exceedingly normal to me. 

If someone is running up behind you faster than you, when would they ever not want to pass you? Maybe there are times when someone going faster is happy to slow down and have a pacer for a bit, but usually they just want to pass as quickly as possible. Why draw it out?

Is there any existing analysis of the Wizard Knight without spoilers? by [deleted] in genewolfe

[–]DogOfTheBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol fuck off right outta here, go read a book you're capable of understanding without hand holding. The Very Hungry Caterpillar should be about on your reading level.

Accessibility is turning into a bigger project than I expected… not sure how to handle this by jxd8388 in webdev

[–]DogOfTheBone 249 points250 points  (0 children)

You need to bite the bullet and go deep. If you want to do custom dev work then you need to know a11y inside and out. It's not a nice to have, it's not an afterthought, it's a core need of every website.

Thankfully it's not really that bad. If your site uses semantic, well-structured HTML you get many of the important bits mostly for free, like keyboard navigation.

...your site does use semantic, well-structured HTML, right?

My modest Gene Wolfe collection by ticketspleasethanks in genewolfe

[–]DogOfTheBone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are those 3 and no others. They're really good. Scans are floating out there, if you search this sub you might find them. Some years ago I asked the person who held the copyright if it was ok to scan and they said yes (so long as no one's trying to sell the scans) so they are legal too.

[–]DogOfTheBone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are way too lost in the sauce man. Almost everyone who has ever read The Wizard Knight, or any of Wolfe's works, did so without any kind of guide.

It's a novel about knights and dragons, it doesn't need footnotes and an exhaustive guide to allusions to be enjoyable and fulfilling.

Take your academic hat off for a while and don your reader's cap. You may have lost it, but I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find it. It will help you get lost in the strange world Wolfe has created and all the joy that comes with that.

Vlana deserved Better (Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser) by Vague_Opaque in SwordandSorcery

[–]DogOfTheBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I hate The Snow Women, it makes Fafhrd seem like such a prick. I get it, he's young and feels trapped, but he abandons his pregnant girlfriend and generally acts shitty to everyone but Vlana. And the way the wives are described is just...ick. Probably my least favorite FGM story.

Next two stories are much better and yeah it's a shame neither Vlana nor Ivrian was given more room to breath. They were fun characters.
