    I think you misunderstand my point. The ancestral post to this thread is pointing out that a normal worker in 1963 -- with probably just one income -- could support 5 children whil…

    It really isn’t though. The median person in 1963 didn’t need say internet or computers or smartphones, because no one expected them to have one. Good luck even applying for a job …

    I believe Haskell did that for decades before C++.

    No one claimed that people just "love popping abortion pills". At least my reading of their comment is that these pills are considered dangerous to take alone in your bedroom, with…

    Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The explanation sounds very reasonable.

    Sounds very appealing. Anyone here have experience with it? If I want to try it, should I go print or digital? How is the writing compared to say The Economist or other more mainst…

    > There are a few of these "maintainer said no AI pulls, so we forked it" in the wild already and I am really interested to see how it all pans out. There are also forks that go in…

    I haven’t followed the news. Sounds like IBM is bad news for Fedora long term?

    Indeed, I did switch to a rubber-like PenTips nib after that, and it made the writing experience really silent. Unfortunately it also felt somehow clumsy to write with – worse than…

    Interesting. I wonder what’s the difference in our usage, perhaps the amount of force we normally use when swiping and writing? Regarding noise, one of the main reasons I stopped u…

    Paperlike is indeed nice for handwriting, but it has drawbacks. The increased friction makes it uncomfortable to use your fingers to navigate the iPad for long, and since it makes …

    Which the parent poster said in their comment?

    In what way? Do you have concrete examples?

    I have no idea what you’re trying to say.

    I also went back to Org-mode some years ago (most recently via Howm-mode). I loved what Logseq had to offer, and setup monthly donations for a while, but after the long period of a…

    Selection bias. The average scientist doesn’t write oversimplified popsci articles that go viral.

    It seems everything has a use if you wait long enough. Number theory also seemed famously unapplyable until modern digital cryptography came along, and same with non-Euclidean geom…

    Yes, you can subscribe to an arXiv RSS feed for your specific research field (or register to email notifications if you prefer that), and get an overview of everything going on in …

    Don’t know about GP, but I’m reasonably happy with chatgpt-shell.

    Note that fast breathing doesn’t necessarily mean high oxygen uptake. Deep breaths result in higher oxygen uptake (since you spend less time just moving the same stale air up and d…

    I guess Norwegian schools will have to use smaller / alternative search engines now?

    Which autocomplete mode? fido-vertical-mode, completion-preview-mode, or something else that I should maybe look into? I switched from vertico to fido-vertical myself, but still us…
