Careful, the mechanical keys are of the clicky-clacky kind.

Go-app (unsearchable name, https://go-app.dev/ ) has been doing something similar for a while, I wonder how it compares.

Gary Burton? Oh, no one special. Just the guy who invented modern two-hands vibraphone playing, played and taught jazz for half a century, and nurtured jazz musicians like Pat Metheny, Makoto Ozone, and Julian Lage.
Thank you, very detailed and useful.

I’ve been prescribed, and taking for a while now, daily Dutasteride plus Silodosin (Urorec). However, the latter has the unpleasant side effect of suppressing ejaculation.

Tadalafil (Cialis) does not seem to do the same, however other potential side effects involving sight and hearing are listed.

I’ll ask my doctor if such a swap would be advisable.

The game should not be available for purchase from an iPad. I can’t believe I only now found out that iPads have no vibration hardware, after using them for several years. Too bad.

I have one too, nice little car.

Unfortunately Volkswagen stopped making them, and the new ID line embodies many negatives of new cars.

Any details about the open source replacement for controls?

Re:Scripts should be written using the project main language on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @11:51AM (#39840854)
Well, it depends. If your project uses Zig, you obviously use the Zig build system.

If your project uses C or C++, you also use the Zig build system.

Agreed, those ideas should not rise to the top.

It’d help if more people asked themselves a question more often:

“Am I being a useful idiot right now?”

Or they could be usefully malicious, hard to say.

Re:Cars Suck, Man on Sunday January 14, 2024 @09:39AM (#38990794)
I've been driving an e-Up for the last two years and am happy with it. It's a small car, just 240 km in the summer and 180 km in the winter though.

The battery pack is not temperature-controlled so it gets hot in long trips, and recharging becomes excruciatingly slow. Then again, it was not designed for long trips.

The new Citroen e-C3 is a modern, cheap(ish) car with a similar concept: optional touchscreen and many physical controls.

Shortening “United States of America” to just “America” is not good. Brazil is part of America. USA is part of America. USA is not America.

No such safeguard in Italy: people are regularly tried from three to up to five times.

It’s not rare for someone to be found guilty after having been found not guilty once, and sometimes even twice.

I too have the HD598, great open headphones: you can hear environment noises perfectly well, and they sound great. When I need some insulation, I use the Audio-Technical ATH-M40X. Also sounding great, quite faithful, like the HD598. The price is similar.
