It’s not a general color for everything, it’s more like a default color for things that could work with any color. Something you may use as the accent color on your phone, for example, if you go to the trouble of customizing that. Or even the protection cover for your phone itself.

Basically, some color that you find visually pleasing by itself and wouldn’t mind using anywhere as long as it doesn’t feel out of place.

Teal.

And the sad thing is that there’s apparently no name for it in my language (Portuguese). I have to say “green-ish blue” or “blue-ish green”.

Eating Asian food using forks. Preparing meat well-done. Cutting pasta with a knife. Using cutlery when eating pizza. Basically everything that people say has a “right way” of eating. What difference does it make to you if you’re not the one eating?

They are fine now that a million other bands copied what they were doing and tried their best to improve on their formula. The fact their music is still fine today means it must have been out of this world back then.

(I personally don’t enjoy their music at all though)

For me it’s muscle memory. I’ve grown used to all sorts of features and shortcuts over time and I can work faster when I can use them freely without thinking about it. If I switch tools I need to adjust to everything that is different about it and that takes time - and I can’t really develop muscle memory for two different tools, I need to forget one to get used to another.

As a quick example: I’ve been using alt+arrow for two decades to navigate between individual words within variable names in camelCase. Every text editor I’ve used over time supported this as the OS itself implements it. Then comes VSCode with its own implementation overriding this and removing this capacity and then every time I need to navigate between words I’ll either have to use a mouse, move one character at a time or even worse: press this shortcut I’m used to and trigger some other feature that is assigned to it that I didn’t want to trigger.

I generally agree, but I can make one exception: when there’s a clear power system it can be fun to talk about how one power would fare against another. Not so much scaling the characters themselves but pitching their powers’ themes against one another, like some advanced rock-paper-scissors thing. One Piece used to allow for things like this at one point, (before new power systems were included) like rubber > thunder > ice > rubber.

1. Scary to hear that it all started with someone trying to download Homebrew, but at the same time who the fuck clicks on Google ads when looking for development tools?
2. I wish they would have given more details about how the hackers managed to spread from the second dev’s machine into the third and fourth’s, which they actually used in the end.

There’s no pressure to act fast

I generally prefer turn based, so no specific game

It’s been decades for me too, the way I remember it is that the password just didn’t work unless you knew you were typing the right one.

It was also the first time I heard of the NSA (I’m not American) - and then later I saw it mentioned on the Simpsons too in an episode where they were hiding in bushes listening to people. I was really surprised by people’s reaction to Snowden because I thought it was just common knowledge.

I think that Dan Brown book about computers also had something like a password that was immune to brute force, that ended up being a single digit password. (it was immune to brute force because the password had plot armor).

I’m a man myself btw.

Nearly four decades on this world and I’ve met maybe a handful of men who do that.

One guy I used to work with (long before LLMs) built a website for his company and listed a bunch of software there for sale. Except he hadn’t built any software product yet. Once someone contacted him about buying one of the products, then he would build it.
