Can I ask what your native language is?

I found Requiem for a dream boring and depressing but the main soundtrack is pretty good.

I agree, I also prefer Typescript, but I don't think I've ever seen a meme about JS not having strongly typed variables.

They either don't center around any specific problem or things that are also mostly true about TS.

You misspelled pacman

I dislike Mastodon for the same reason I dislike Twitter. It seems to me like it's more centered around individual people and what they share rather than building multiple communities around multiple things that interests me.

Sure, I can craft my own community, but then I have a feed where I only encounter posts from the same people, and chances are, opinions that I already agree with. It's not as easy to switch from a tv show to programming, for example. Yes, hashtags exist but they don't even come close to communities on Lemmy.

The worst part are the types of posts that only reiterate how stupid "the other side" is without seriously trying to understand their arguments. This is not only true about politics but many other topics as well.

I'd bet that most people who think this way either haven't used it in the last 10 years or they only know it from the memes.

One of my favorite languages, it's everything that's good about Javascript plus the one thing that's missing: types.

No, at the time I didn't know that it was possible to dispute a charge.

In the early days of smartwatches I ordered one from the manufacturer directly. The price tag and its features all sounded too good to be true, and it was. I don't even remember their name but I was so hyped that I didn't even do basic research.

I waited and waited and after a few weeks I did a search online. Turns out the whole thing was a scam, I found tons of blog posts about people either not receiving theirs or getting something that barely worked.

It was too late to do anything about it but I learned my lesson the hard way.

It seems like you were right, it was the theme that I chose that didn't support showing the long press symbols, even though I enabled them in the settings.

Regarding the voice to text, for me it just opens Google's voice input, it doesn't seem like it has its own built in VTT.

Spends all his life inside the simulation, trying to find dead futurebillgates' keys and portals.

I tried SwiftKey for about a week or so a month ago but I'm too used to GBoard to make the switch.

What I like about GB that SK doesn't have or is too different:

• speech to text integrated into the keyboard. The Bing app is probably the best at this, especially for my non-native English accent, too bad SK doesn't have its own implementation
• I can set up the keys to show their long press symbols
• the colon character is at an awkward place for my finger to reach
• GB's swipe function can figure out much more easily what language I wanted to type in
• SK shows every possible accented version of the character that I long pressed on, and the one that I wanted was usually at an awkward place to reach. GB on the other hand sorts those of my native language right next to the original character, and only offers a few that I never use.

It took a few seconds to read them and about a minute to search for the package on npm, another minute to come back to Lemmy and type out my comment.

All in all, not the worst case of me wasting my time.

One of your dependencies are broken, you probably never installed them in the first place or tinkered with the node_modules folder, which you really shouldn't do.

I looked at index.ts in the package api-ai-javascript and it's there. Just run npm install and try again.

If you're not 100% sure that you'll be able to comfortably pay that $350 each month for the remaining 3 years then pay it off now. Otherwise keep the loan.

I was working on an enterprise web application, there was a legacy system that everyone hated and we replaced it with a more modern one.

We got a ticket from our PO to introduce a 30 sec delay to one of our buttons. It sounded insane, but he explained that L1 support got too many calls and emails where users thought said button was broken.

It wasn't, they were just used to having to wait up to 5 minutes for it to finish doing its thing, so they didn't notice when it did it instantly.

We gradually removed that delay, 10 seconds each month, and our users were very happy.

Poland had two of those "friends"

This is true.

It's caturday already?

I use Bing Chat a lot when researching things but for regular searches I prefer Google. Bing seems to be great for US based users but I have a hard time finding stuff in my language or my area.
