You're on Android. If the keyboard is censoring you and you don't want that, install a different keyboard from any store/repository you like I've also got a Pixel from work and the keyboard doesn't even support swip

Swiftkey on Android does this also and it's a very nice feature. I sometimes see a key lighting up that I didn't mean to press. I was just barely on that key, and it figured out that I didn't mean to press it Not sure how it

I wonder if the license dictates that you must use a specific language, or if they could ship that proprietary component in Javascript. My understanding is that well-written JS with a JIT runtime can be very close to native performance. Not

TIL English teenager isn't necessarily the translation of Dutch tiener. Wikipedia at least says 10–19 for us and 13–19 for English. In German the word teenager is also used and the page gives both definitions on the same page without

Yeah, I guess that exact wording was meme of the year 2023, but have you not seen the sentiment that e.g. developers need to learn to work with LLMs or get left behind? As though it's some skill you need to acquire

Not a lot, but yeah I guess I've seen it. A bit harsh but I don't remember enough specific instances to say whether it's typically warranted or not (The nerd joke btw is that both of my replies so far started with "No&qu

Not sure if culture is different at other conferences but the ones I've been to had talk status recorded or not recorded. Requesting that pictures of you aren't shared online seems to be a common enough request

I tried to place an order on amazon for the first time last week. After creating an account and going through all the steps including paying with a non-refundable payment method (iDeal, similar to bank transfer), I went to bed, only to noti

That's how I read it as well. I think it's wrong because I've learned the most from people one step ahead of me. Experts who are ten steps ahead have the curse of knowledge: it's extra hard to figure out what things make

I don't want videos of me online. Would an audio recording + slides suffice in your opinion? Or would you doubt it was really live in front of a sufficiently large audience? Idk how common fraud here would be

The conference typically does it anyway, and otherwise you can ask a friend in the audience, or make a new friend who's willing to, or put a tiny tripod somewhere with your phone in camera-from-lockscreen mode. The point is showing tha

Now I'm curious what kinds of comments you mean
615.
by Aachen 11mo ago
If you plagiarise text from a source that is objectively (measurably, systematically) unreliable, without vetting, adding commentary, or doing anything else to add value, then 100% yes that's the same issue

You're like the 9th out of the 10 top-level replies I've read so far that says this, with the 10th one saying it in a different way (without suggesting they could have asked it themselves). What I find interesting is that everyone

Ah yeah because everyone in England says hypo the sofa instead of under the sofa. Definitely not Greek > not every language uses Latin and Greek root-words like this I was responding to the text above where the person was amazed you can
618.
by Aachen 11mo ago
Basically every language works that way? You can say underquake in English if you like, doesn't have to be Greek. In fact, it might make sense to pick a widely understood language rather than one with ~13 million speakers

Put yourself in their place for a minute. There's a thousand to-dos, including this Bluetooth pass-through feature. If you try to get around to all of them, you need to hire more people, either telling them up front that you won't

How is Bluetooth used in public transport? I don't think I've ever seen that so I'm curious what nifty solution this is. Are you meant to check in via Bluetooth so you can't have multiple people use the same subscription

My banks have always provided hardware 2FA. I think it used to be free and was surprised that I had to pay for the latest one, but I've had the previous one since my parents paid for everything so idk if that was maybe always the case

The case argument really solves everything whenever someone brings up poor choices - Annoying glass back that scratches immediately and slides out of your hand- "just put a case on it" - Undersized battery that won't last a d

Would you like this phone to run your own apps? If you spend development time on the ecosystem, I could maybe pay your voucher (the 99€ downpayment part), then you can get the hardware on release at the discounted price they offer for backe

Jolla is saying they'll try to make it work on as many frequencies as possible for global support. I don't know the brand and how seriously to take that but usually English-speaking countries support are among the top priorities

You "welcome" this because the market needs to be shaken up "so badly", but won't buy it? What does that mean then, that you'll allow it to exist "no matter how flawed"? I'm genuinely confused as

From a hardware point of view I've also noticed that speakers work like poor microphones (and LEDs like poor solar panels / light sensors), but is there any way to actually make this work on most devices without physically changin
