All three physical buttons, at that. My work laptop has a trackpoint and the right/left click buttons, but it's missing the middle button that lets you scroll with the trackpoint. The same button works as a middle-click for pastin

I think having sets that you like to keep together and you don't want to mix up is fine. Too many people saw the Lego Movie and took it to mean that keeping sets as sets is bad. Note that the person you responded to isn't stopping

There was an article posted here earlier this year[1] that pointed out the flaws in modern LEDs, and just how hard it is to get one that matches the color you want. It's a pretty long read, but the author does a really good job of show

The whole concept of Third Places[1] is kind of dying out. Like you said, bars don't work for kids, and other common places are either dwindling or just don't allow loitering - which is basically what teens are doing when they go

The article mostly seems to blame social media, but I also think that the lack of good social spaces is also key. There's fewer and fewer spaces that a group of teens can just hang out without spending money (due to "no loitering&

A lot of the ones I've seen have said they're shutting down for _at least_ the two specified days, and a lot of them do use the term "indefinitely". I think that the two-day time span is just to give a starting point, an

I have almost 70 hours in NMS, and what eventually made me stop playing was having too much to do. While it started out very sparse, it has absolutely become an exploratory sandbox that actually has stuff to do. Like any sandbox it can be r

In my limited experience with BSD over the years (I tinker with it every year or so), a lot of the core experience remains the same. Additions to rc.conf should keep working, as well as configuration files for things like jails.

Personally I thought that Spirit Tracks was much worse than Phantom Hourglass. The whole train mechanic and being restricted on how you could move in the overworld really wasn't fun. Between that and the re-implementation of the recurr

Why would I want remote access to my car? Why should my car need security notifications? And if I'm charging, I can use that as an opportunity to get out of the car, or catch up on notifications I've ignored for the last several h

They meet crash standards, yes. But the interior design of them encourages unsafe driving. Between putting almost everything inside a touch screen and pushing autopilot (which encourages drivers to pay attention less), they are creating mor

The design is the same, but are the materials, manufacturing tolerances, and QA the same? That cheaper model is cheaper for a reason. While you're right that most people won't need the $15,000 industrial biscuit cutter, I'd h

Thanks for the correction and explanation. I haven't used Ubuntu in years, so all of my knowledge of its issues comes second-hand and I don't want to spread FUD about things that aren't actually issues. Sounds like the proble

Unlike Javascript, this isn't a whole new framework that you have to learn all over again. This is just a set of configurations that change the look and feel of NeoVim - which doesn't take re-learning if you're used to Vi&#x2

I recently purchased a Quartz64B, which turns out to be a very new model. If you're looking at a board from Pine64, I'd say go for the Rock64 if you want something more likely to work with your preferred OS.
