  • What I meant was (and I was being a little humorous) that your normal type is the one you’d rationally want to like intellectually and emotionally and this dude is the one you.are physically attracted to. I was thinking you were crying over the men you wanted to be similarly physically attracted to and the strong emotional reaction was a result of your surprise at how intense the physical attraction could be.

    It’s OK to have more than one type and be attracted to different people for different reasons. I think you have just discovered a new aspect of your own preferences and are trying to reconcile them.






  • I think for most web apps it doesn’t make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it’s a pretty marginal benefit.

    What I’ve done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.

    Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking ‘he wants two chopstic pieces?’ and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.

    Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.




  • I feel like there are some missed opportunities

    • Sensors that don’t work because a proprietary driver is missing
    • Having to add repositories to get wifi working
    • Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
    • More tool windows
    • More xorg.conf to get displays working
    • A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
    • 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
    • Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s
