Anything by Tolstoy.
He definitely meant a different type of healthy solitude, rather than the one on which newspapers and studies report when they assert loneliness and isolation among young people is at an all-time high.

I wouldn't care if this weren't a .io site. But now I am intrigued by how cool this looks.

Very interesting! Also a great reminder that AI is just a program that solves a problem in a certain way that may not need the most talked-about techniques, like deep learning.

I wasn't even talking about the hardware, that's a separate story. Apple's old hardware also looks and feels wonderful.

Apple's design of 10-15 years ago looks excellent even today. Truly - good design does not lose its attractiveness as styles and standards change. Most icons, fonts, panels, colors of most of their old software and promotional materials look very pleasant, even in low resolution.
Re:Why I Quit Using Google on Saturday January 11, 2020 @06:03PM (#22023018)
What's reasonable is if you want to avoid using Google services (for whatever reason), then you do not need to be fanatical about it. Move off gradually, one service at a time, and keep using some Google services, if you really must - why not?
Re:Chime – A Go Editor for macOS on Sunday January 05, 2020 @04:26PM (#21964228)
This one seems to be a native app for macOS, not an Electron app. So, hopefully this allows to achieve higher performance with much lighter resource utilization.

Sounds exciting! The greater the variety of editor/IDE options for Go, the better!
Re:Software Disenchantment (2018) on Wednesday January 01, 2020 @07:12PM (#21931801)
To be honest, I have never seen any phone or computer that could boot in about 2 seconds. 6-7 seconds is the absolute minimum I've ever seen, regardless of hardware or OS.
Re:Firefox 71 on Tuesday December 03, 2019 @09:40AM (#21692578)
Firefox is wonderful! Still hoping for much-needed general UI improvements, though. The tabs look bulky and have animation performance issues. The bookmarks manager is outdated and inconsistent with other tools in its look. Same with the downloads manager. All these things aren't a big deal, but Safari and Chrome seem to have a more pleasant overall graphic design.
