Every feature is an eternal maintenance price until the company goes bankrupt (or an opportunity to piss off the handful of users who use it when you cut it). I'd much rather they focus their limited time on polishing things that matt

No. I don't use the dictionary on my Kindle. I've never missed it on my reMarkable. Not while reading and definitely not while writing.

The reMarkable isn't an e-reader. It can display books, but that's not its primary purpose. If you want an e-reader, there are many significantly cheaper options.

The value is in the lack of features. This is a hard concept for most people who haven't used one (or a similar device) to grasp. Running Android or iOS apps is an anti-feature. Having cellular data is an anti-feature. Our world is

The Iraq was was entirely unnecessary. It cost $3 Trillion[1], the lives of more than 500,000 Iraqi civilians, the lives of more than 8000 US troops and contractors, and so much more. It built a wave of anti-American sentiment in the midd

It could not have "gone even worse". Anti-competence regimes are a disaster. Destroying America's alliances, international relations, leadership, soft power, environment, leadership in renewable energy, and more are all dis

We could start by banning things that explicitly waste resources such as proof of work cryptocurrency and adjust tax incentives to punish huge energy consumers for things like AI. Make the energy cost factor in the long-term externalities

Not without extraordinary cost that no one (save NASA, perhaps) is willing to pay. Even if you can formally verify individual methods, what you're actually looking for is if we can verify systems . Because systems, even ones made o

This is a really weird hill to die on. HP tried hard to make RPN a thing and even among engineers eventually lost out to notation that is easier to work with. People read in one direction - in English left to right. They read faster and c

It's miserable to parse C++ and that's fine, because only a few people have to write a parser while 5 orders of magnitude more have to read and write it. Same thing with markdown - the user experience is what matters. Edge cases

Over geological timespans, everything decays. Over many decades things can remain unstable or volatile. Even if most of it becomes ineffective, some may be volatile so disturbing anything will be dangerous for many lifetimes.

This is malicious nonsense. Anyone who claims there is no difference between the parties at this point is trolling or sufficiently ignorant as to be indistinguishable from a troll. The Biden Administration got inflation under control, stre

I've given blanket forgiveness for anyone in my life who voted for Trump in 2016, but anyone who voted for him a second time after watching his hate-driven anti-competence regime the first time around is written off in my book. At tha

A fair point that I hadn't considered. The second quote still consists entirely of things we knew in 2015 before the author voted for Trump a first time and comes across as disingenuous.

With every lithium-ion battery needing to go in carryon, and everything in the world having a lithium ion battery, this simply isn't reasonable. I can't even put my toothbrush in a checked bag anymore.
