  • Browser compatibility. Design flaws can't easily be fixed like how other languages can just switch to a new major version and introduce breaking changes. ES must keep backwards compatibility so has had to do more additive changes than replacing behavior altogether so that older web pages pages don't break.

  • I absolutely love using git on the command line. I'm comfortable with the commands, and there isn't much need for clicking since a lot of it is just typing commands, viewing files/diffs, repeat until files are staged, committed, and pushed up. Who needs a GUI for that?

    OTOH, I really like postman for constructing and templating network requests. There are a few helpful panes and forms that just fit better on one screen that I can interact with.

    To say working with GUIs makes someone a worse engineer sounds very short sighted to me. IMO the best engineers are the ones who use tools that maximize their efficiency.

  • I waited a while for sekiro. Finally broke down and got it on sale after it had been on my wishlist for 2 years.

    I found it too challenging, even as a fan of their other games, it just didn't click. Finally I hit a wall on some enemy who I couldn't kill and gave up. Sad cuz I really wanted to like it.

  • This is the way I do it too. I also factor in cost by hour. Like if I think I will put 50 hours into a game then I wouldn't mind paying $50 cuz that's only $1 per hour of enjoyment. Most games are 5-25 hrs though so that's the price range I tend to stick with.

    There's also quality of enjoyment. Like if I take 4 hours to beat a game but it's so good it changes my life or is unlike any game I've played before, then I don't mind a higher cost per hour. For example, Outer Wilds.

  • I enjoyed this movie but I generally get where OP is coming from. Unlikeable characters can be a put off even if that is the charm of the film.

    It's always sunny and arrested development are two examples that I've tried many times and never got into because of the characters. But anyone who likes those shows would be like "that's the whole point!"

    I don't think it's a sense of humor issue. It's more that the characters being annoying is a barrier to enjoyment, funny or not.

  • For sure. The key to getting into budgeting is to base your budget off current spending rather than desired spending.

    Setting a goal to budget and cut spending at the same time conflates the budgeting with "I can't spend money anymore" feeling, and adds a hugely unnecessary, negative connotation to it.

  • I think making a budget for bad habits is a great thing. Better to know and be aware than not be.

    I have a budget for weed and alcohol, like I do for everything else. I also have a budget for savings, charity, portfolio contributions, gifts, retirement contributions, emergency fund, and other "good" things.

    Being a human is hard, no need to disparage an "unnecessary" pleasure budget.

    I would TL;DR your post with really the idea that you must save and avoid debt. However you do it, budget or not, spending money or not, does not matter. You can be super frugal and save, or not be super frugal. You must save, though.

    You actually gloss over saving and focus on budget, when really I see the budget as a means to the end of controlling your spending so that you can save.

    If saving was not the ultimate goal, there really is no reason to budget in the first place.

    All that said, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. We've been using YNAB for about 5 yrs now and it's been wonderful.

  • Does wefwef (voyager) support kbin? It sounds like that's what you are implying, just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding.

    If so, I may make a kbin account and see how that works. Mostly I am looking for a familiar "post/subscribe into categorical communities" solution with no extra fluff. That's why I like Lemmy, but I haven't looked into kbin at all, in truth.
