In older VW Polos (at least) it was easy to disable that feature with two clicks on a physical button located on the steering wheel. Not so on the ID.3, and other newer Volkswagens…

Don’t forget the “New 3DS”.

Why does it matter how humans _felt_?

Well, they had a point, and we've got pretty close to that outcome. It didn't happen, thus today we're able to discuss the fact that it didn't happen.

There are almost no new physical releases on PC, sadly. I’ve been collecting older games on CD and DVD.

Anyone who lived in USSR, or otherwise familiar with the way soviet authorities operate, would know not to trust any official data from USSR. I personally treat any statistics and …

Stock Android on a Pixel 7 felt the same way to me.

I could never get rid of the feeling that Material design looks like some stylesheets failed to load. It feels unfinished, raw, or temporary.

There's a way to compile HL2 on ARM Macs, I've written a guide here: https://rakhim.exotext.com/how-to-play-half-life-2-on-mchip-...

Nice. Glad these kinds of projects exist. Obligatory mention of Minifeed, a curated directory, reader and search engine for personal blogs: https://minifeed.net/ I’ve been running …

That's also years of top tier PC gaming, if you're into that.

That’s strange. I was able to renew a work permit in Canada while staying (and continuing work) in Canada. Same for study permit. This was over a decade ago, so perhaps things have…

Nice project! Thanks for including Minifeed!

Every single discussion thread about any announcement in quantum feels exactly the same: 1. this is not what you think it is, there are caveats and the title is misleading. 2. I fe…

I remember watching an interview with Marco Arment (creator of Overcast and Instapaper) where he mentions that he listens to Phish a lot [1]. He collects every single recording and…

You sound like Guppy. Nice touch.

Very cool! Love the minimal design a lot, unsurprisingly. My Minifeed [1] started with a similar goal of having a "HN for blogs", but then it grew to include search, related recomm…

Quantum networking is a lesser problem than changing the state and keeping intact long enough. You can already move quantum state over fiber optics pretty reliably, so transport ex…

The meme refers to the notion where an observation (i.e. interaction) collapses the wave function to a single value. As in, prior to observation, a system in a quantum superpositio…

I've started putting together a curated directory of (subjectively) good YouTube channels and videos [1]. It's literally the 3rd day, so not many entries yet, but I plan to continu…
