You're right, It presents an argument that we shouldn't teach them 'the obvious' arrow keys at all.

The reasons I still use vi-style editing in editors are: 1. Efficiency, so I can be fast 2. Minimal stretching and whole-hand movement, so I don't get painful wrists and so I can b…

It sounds like you're assuming a few things: 1. Where you've written "smartphone", you're using this as a proxy for social media, which is what this legislation purports to target.…

The WSJ and Daily Mail both ran stories with headlines explicitly stating that they generate more particulates. I can't find any credible source stating the same, so I'm assuming t…

“Just go grab the data breach from some other location” Do you have examples you can point to where this has happened? I would be interested in cases where this kind of approach ha…

Any chance of a sensor that can detect whether doors are locked (rather than open?)

The Elixir add-ons for VS Code provide this too.

Ads, or suggestions for content you could watch on the device you just bought, one of the main features of which is allowing you to subscribe to content providers, rent content, an…

I have Spotify at the top left of the clickable icons and the top row of the screen shows Spotify’s suggestions.

If you use Elixir for a while you may find that there is a lot more consistency, and almost no ‘cutesy’ code around. Elixir’s syntax only looks a little like Ruby at first glance.

What kind of features? With Elixir, I use the ‘click in stack trace to go to error’ feature, do some debugging, use code completion, test running - and not much else. I’d be intere…

If you look at it that way, yes, it’s not expensive. I would say that the Fiesta is 10k too expensive.

“when rendering faces […] it still doesn’t look realistic to me” This gets to the heart of the matter for me. No matter how much hair sways like real hair, skin wrinkles like real …

Yes, though I don’t use the symbols suggested on that page as they don’t connect with people’s mental models very well. I just overlay the flows of data on other diagrams, adding n…

Last night while I was choosing something to fall asleep to, Spotify suggested Nirvana’s Nevermind. Just getting as advanced as “this human normally puts chilled music on at this t…

I think about what could have been, how it should work, whether we could fix this, every time I go to click or touch or type and the system I’m using directs my input to somewhere …

More of this could be great for corporate machines. Currently they are often bogged down with poorly behaving third party security software, some of which causes real problems for …

I used to install qmail fairly often on different Unix-like systems. I remember the installation instructions clearly setting out the limits that should be set on its processes, an…

I’m right up next to a limit on live (easily-accessible, always visible in photo apps) cloud storage, with years of family photos and video taking about 95% of that. I definitely d…

Perhaps they measured the temperature of the espresso shot post extraction, in the cup (or more formal receptacle!), where it would be cooler than the water meeting the ground coff…

I only use the plastic lids (on the glass containers) for storage. If I want to heat the container, I just use a plate or bowl as lid.

Did you try asking it to write the function?

What makes you get a Google captcha? My default search is set to DDG. Perhaps that’s why I don’t get one?

The hyperfocus which is a symptom of ADHD helps give the tenacity needed to make progress when faced with frustrating challenges. In engineering, tenacity is absolutely required to…

They do have a Safari extension on iOS, which directs searches to kagi.com
