Well, the checkmark itself is pretty angular and hard to look at. I think we should take a page out of East Asian visual language and adopt the circle as the "yes" mark. That is, radio buttons and check boxes should look like this

That sounds only slightly less plausible than using it to hack and blow up a nuclear power plant. A scenario against which the MacBook has zero protections in place.

Where are you getting "six killed" from? AFAIK there was one death and that was a protestor shot by a cop.

No program feature should ever be designed to be "friendly to newbies". Easy to use (in general) - yes; easy to learn - yes; hard to do accidentally - yes; low friction - yes; discoverable - yes. However, designing for the person

The problem I see is with having the government be the one that issues your digital id. It gives them more power to fuck with politically undesirable people. Currently I can get one of several companies to issue me with a digital certificat

Man, all these graphical enhancements and they still can't design a proper camera. Off-centre camera systems, aka "over the shoulder" cameras make me motion sick. I need the player to be in the centre of the screen or every

This is why my bank only stores people's names as bitmap images. Simply draw your name in the provided blank on the website. Just make sure the pixels are identical each time. For a password, whistle a melody in your microphone. Your p

Today the transliteration of names is standardised, yes. You can ask for a different transliteration on your passport if you really want, but there is one official (sadly lossy) conversion table used for everything government-related, from

Where do you find these computers with keyboards that do not have the full set of ASCII letters printed on them? ASCII and Latin script are the lingua franca, they're not hard to learn and it's not unreasonable to ask that everyon

So every person needs to be able to read every single script? Cyrillic? Greek? All the variants of CJK characters' reading in people's names? Practically ASCII is enough for information interchange and I say this as someone from a

This is in fact my most favourite feature. Having a selection and a clipboard just feels like second nature to me and lets me copy selected text around without having to destroy the clipboard contents.

It is exorbitantly priced. I would pay 2$/mo for it, maybe 3. Additionally, I have zero trust that "ad-free" will continue to hold. Too many services have promised ad-free and then reneged on it. Lastly, music streaming is th

I am fine with unobtrusive ads to the side, ad banners, etc. But not with peacefully watching a quiet video about the greatest one-shots in Golf history and being interrupted by a blaring loud ad for a crap mobile game. It really is the lou

This seems like a trial that doesn't need a placebo group. We have a lot of data on people being infected with rabies and it's exceedingly rare for them to spontaneously recover. Basically, you could say the placebo trials have be

I definitely would not eat lab grown meat. My own meat consumption is less than 200g per day. I eat one hamburger a month at most, as a treat. I want it to be the best hamburger from the happiest free range cow ever. I'm not going to e

Yeah I was going to say Linux is a strange choice of platform for this project. While the kernel per se is solid, the userland has zero backwards compatibility. I expect his ports will bitrot and none will run two to five years from now, wh

Huh, isn't struct B literally what an implementation of std::box would look like? You would need a nullptr check in the copy ctor and copy assignment operator to make it complete, but other than that, that is exactly how I would implem
