Nothing on this site explains what exactly is "paperless debate."
Calendars are a prime example of Metcalf's Law. (The influence of a network is the square of the number of elements participating.)
https://hankehenryontime.com is another alternative calendar, but doesn't attempt to also "decimalize" time units shorter than the day.
Fantastic. I love that this is brand-independent, like buying a mechanical keyboard.
This is interesting... but I can't help but think how much better it might be if instead of a video background just had a simpler e-ink display for indicating
what the transparent key caps were for. The animation/videos are very distracting.
I never liked the Apple TouchBar or anything that required "active" attention away from the main screen.
Even though it's obvious from the examples, SSG=Static Site Generator, for those who are unfamiliar with the acronym.
Could be 8-bit posits may be enough. Has that been done? At scale. I do not know.
I agree that trying to use hue for encoding magnatude information is not great, but man, how many times have I given up on someone's infographic that decided to use four different shades of blue and purple you can't tell apart when the markers are only eight or sixteen pixels on the screen.
I should hope the 12-bit rainbow palette would be adopted for those kinds of visualizations.
This isn't my experience with Co-pilot's suggestions. I've literally been able to have Co-pilot suggest a complete unit test based on a novel structure I hand-coded myself and a few words describing the unit test. The constants are often wrong, but it saves minutes of fidgeting with the syntax for unit tests and assertions.
These are not quotations from other people's code but something about the deep structures of language and programming language semantics. However, I suspect if you knew enough of a snippet from other source you could coax Co-pilot to suggest code learned from that source, but it would likely be washed over by other code in the corpus where it coincided with meanings.
When I was in school reading coaches encouraged the awareness of subvocalization (where you mimic the text as if you were speaking it, but not aloud). If you find yourself doing that while reading, stop/suppress that.
Oddly enough, the first time I ever had gummy bears was at the Smithsonian.
SEIKO Vision by their website does not appear to be available in the United States (no providers are listed in their directory)-- do you happen to know anything equivalent available there?
Bluetooth audio is a burning dumpster of monkeypoxed clown corpses.
I have two sets of BT headphones, and I avoid using them b/c of the unpredictable pairing behaviors.
It needs to be replaced with something dedicated to audio-- because I think the attempt at generality (object data transfers, mice, keyboards, etc.) and backward compatibility has made for a standard that isn't capable in a multi-device world. When buying hardware, I look at Bluetooth as a feature, but at best, just for input devices. Audio is a lost cause.
Usable in direct sunlight?
When will this product ship?
This is pretty much why 1/5 of packages I'm getting via FedEx Ground are smashed or damaged. They aren't even supposed to be "overnight" and mishandling is rife.
I'll propose that it could be the glyph to represent "cutting corners":
> To skip certain steps in order to do something as easily or cheaply as possible, usually to the detriment of the finished product or end result.
If anything it should be the "red herring" password that locks the account if retried too many times.
I got curious about this and found
https://github.com/danr/kakoune-easymotion which I'm going to give a try.
I haven't tried helix in a while, sometimes they have chosen not-quite default-kakoune like bindings which trips me up for certain kinds of selections.
kak is my daily driver. About the only customization I do for it is the integration of fzf for file picking-- althought its window management with kitty seems to be broken, I have to run it inside tmux for this to work. Recently I more often than not use broot as the launcher for kak instead of directing kak to open files from inside kak.
Multiple selections with the visual preview before action was the key feature for me-- it is a nice affordance compared to having to mentally model what an operation would do with a vim movement.
The news media is kind of fickle about coverage about anything that doesn't get more ad revenue/impressions. Everyone's filter-bubble affects what they see. At least last July it got a minor boost of awareness from the White House:

Medically it just seems to fall outside the flowcharts of modern medicine where an "easy fix" or "procedure" is not prescribed. Going outside of the "acceptable medicine" of what insurance will cover is practically a unicorn event. So you'll see a lot of doctors just calling it "anxiety." Functionally, Long Haul Covid has become a huge cash bonus to medicine as sufferers get referred (passed around) from specialist to specialist for more testing and diagnostics that nearly always comes up as "normal."
About the only good news about this situation is very likely once they really get the studies done (and they're going to have to do it, because there will be millions of people suffering from this) they are likely also going to find how to help people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) since all the long hauling symptoms appear to over lap. CFS sufferers already have had the feeling of being ignored/ridiculed by medicine for decades.
The notifications come back in just about the same way the Algorithm scrambles timelines on the social media apps--its just like they're trying to keep you engaged in using the phone.
Ideally, the notifications should have two very simple views: a linear list by time, a grouped-by-application list and the ability to mark and sweep them away.
Or maybe at the most, an archive all notifications sweep that you can re-open if you remember that you wanted to see an old notification.
Dwarf Fortress was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. It does do a geology sim for map setup.
More and more, I'm finding its all about the homocysteine. It's correlated with all kinds of neurological problems with different names.
Something about it gets out of regulation by the body and the sufferer falls into the incident pit. Can be something as innocuous as antibiotics wrecking your digestion or a bad diet from being poor that begins the decline.

I think this confuses manufacturing/operations and problem solving/analysis. In manufacturing and operations, the thinking has already been "baked" into the activity and you make it faster by adding more people, materials and equipment. (More cashiers, more assembly lines, more factories, more CI compute/memory/storage/bandwidth) With problem solving/analysis context switching would exhaust concentration from the thrashing of unrelated patterns/predictions. If you add more people to a problem solving/analysis context you increase the amount of coordination work for everyone to achieve "shared understanding".
If you add a _lot_ of people to a problem solving/analysis context (e.g. open source/crowd sourcing) you throw out the constraint of "shared understanding" and win by probability with many different minds partially thinking about the problem. This takes longer of course-- because the project maintainers then have to sift through the crowd's input.
The goal has to be understand the form of work, and adjust the levers accordingly.
I think that's related. I think also for a lot of web pages, they have ephemeral state that would not be captured by a bookmark, so they get left open and accumulate. One can never know sometimes which page will succeed as a bookmark or just fail.
