  • There’s a small learning curve I wish some bothered to understand first. Does this app help? The part of this I don’t like is vacationers leaving useless names like ‘Mango lady’, ‘many street vendors’ for a block, or ‘local restaurant’ since they can’t read the sign as opposed marking up the cuisine type, maybe adding an English description, & leaving the name blank. Nobody expects uploads to be perfect but Bangkok is littered with this noise that makes it hard to follow or find things.

    You lost me at tea bags. What are you doing‽ Loose-leaf hea is cheaper, easier, is almost always high quality, doesn’t impart a taste of the bag, better flavor on multiple steeps, & isn’t literal trash (plastic ones are real bad for the environment). You get higher quality leaves & now you don’t need to carry around milk or sugar to mask the bad flavor too.


  • I literally used to say this last decade, but as I grew experienced with more languages/paradigms/systems, it became 3rd best, then 4th, until I realized it actually not really great at anything other than there is an large ecosystem around it (wildly varying in quality). To some that might be enough, & going outside what you know isn’t typically the most wise thing to do, but it’s not particularly simple, or readble, or performance, or composable, or offering great patterns. Anything that used Python in Nixpkgs tend to be the most unreliable software for actually building & using.

    I mean we have a generation that thinks XML is bloated & JSON is superior but those two formats are about the same on performance & compressed size–which was the point. The non-plaintext-readable formats are superior along a lot of metrics but harder to debug & ultimately less common.
