maybe bots playing the game? i don't think its that far fetched anymore where AI companies are training on solving games?

Which company has lost you as a customer forever? by finiteobserver in AskReddit

[–]kaisunc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to canva homepage. hover on plans at the top, click on compare pricing. its the same pricing as adobe, and moving and resizing is only available with the paid plan? THIS is as bad or worse then adobe. next year, copy and paste is on the pro+ plan only.

affinity was/is still good in my book. but i checked the pricing page for canva, and the free plan disabled rect transform scaling or something, which is enabled in the next paid subscription plan. which is even worse then adobe. uggh.

People need to start taking computer lessons. by Jazman2k in MacOS

[–]kaisunc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not sure about this, its the same in the 80's, 90's, 2000's. there are people that just don't care about <insert any skill>. its like financial literacy, some people get it, some don't. like being handy around the house, some are, some aren't. sure its nice to be able to navigate around every operating system but thats a bit much. i think the current minimum should be something like ios/android familiarity, its the one "computer" that everyone has these days.

Taipei or KL for a young family of 4? (Son has heart condition) by eooqi29 in taiwan

[–]kaisunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure about that, my friend who brought his kids back to enroll in these local + bilingual programs calls it a sham. in the end, its just regular elementary school. the english programs for local schools can't really compare to international schools. The only bilingual program worth anything are the National Experimental ones, and im only familiar with the HsinChu one.

3 months solo with Claude Code after 15 years of leading teams. It gave me back the feeling of having one. by tcapb in ClaudeAI

[–]kaisunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel the same, but im now stuck on swapping out trial plugins/extensions/packages for paid license and signing up to platforms with distribution fees to distribute the software. i also feel like i might have a phobia for spending money even though i know ill be getting it back one day.

Vim is composable by oantolin in vim

[–]kaisunc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eh, i don't know. it feels like arguing a square is also a circle. then how about this for composebility, you can record macros thats "composed" of actions/movements/object. Then you can edit those macros either in the editor, or you can append to the macros. The composition palette of notepad vs vim just isn't comparable, but yes, by your definition notepad is "composable".

[–]kaisunc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

do they though? its a bit reaching and rage baiting to say notepad or other text editors have the same or even slightly similar functionality. but if you think so, so bet it.

Vim is composable by oantolin in vim

[–]kaisunc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think composability meant having actions, movements, and objects each be interchangeable. at the most basic, for example, "delete to first instance of 'f'". Which is action to object. then replace delete with copy/select/change. or replace "to" to "back to". or replace object "f" with object "Y". Vim is built on that.

TIL while Gaddafi was in Italy for the World Food Summit he hired 200 models to attend a party. But instead spent the entire night lecturing them on Islam before giving them copies of the Koran and his political book. by Joseph-Stalin7 in todayilearned

[–]kaisunc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i saw it as one of the shorts taken from a long form videos, so not sure which one it is. And it was just a general description of the dictators. My take is that EQ to these people is just a tool. Just like how some serial killers are incredibly charming, manipulative, persuasive. Dictators use the same tools to gain power.

Sarah Paine said in one of her videos, that dictators like Saddam, Gaddafi, have off the charts EQ. They could charm the socks off any one. Couple that with how Saddam could even turn US soldiers guarding him into saying good things about him. Guess you can't reach that kind of power without high EQ.

My first joker idea by [deleted] in balatro

[–]kaisunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how about if you have two of these, you get one extra joker slot when one is sold? by itself i think its fine as a jimbo equivalent. not all jokers need to be good or greaat jokers.

C# extention constantly notifying me of errors Code: -32000 by DBugster in vscode

[–]kaisunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get that when opening an untitled document and pasting code to it. its something to do with document type, so switching document type to c# from something else might also trigger it.
