I've heard both the "saving" has something to do with farming in the summer and candles in the winter, so either one could be daylight savings time. So I haven't been able to keep them straight and use "summer time&

I'm guessing they're referring to the unexpected finding that most people don't have an "inner voice" - they don't think in words. It at least partially influenced the NPC meme.

It's also in the US. A consumer protection law in California started it around a decade ago and Google applied it to everyone instead of letting us opt out of the state (it's why I let my Android app die), and since then they&#x27

I do multiple times a week, with repos that have barely been touched in a decade and all the original devs are gone. Squashing would make figuring out why something is the way it is a lot more painful, so I'm glad these repos are svn w

...this is a completely normal thing to do in linux, it's the most basic form of access control. There's like a dozen non-human accounts in a clean install before adding your own like this, and a lot of software adds their own. Ed

The singularity is when an AI can improve itself, which among the results include humans no longer being able to understand its code and exponential improvements so we can't catch up either. It requires a level of self-driven intent LL

It was established pretty firmly by the end of 2021 or early 2022. There was even at least one site that gamified it, by showing graphs of infections/deaths for similar US states and similar European countries and having you guess whi

Yeah, it's a rebranding of what we used to call "post-viral fatigue" or "post-viral syndrome", except specific to this one virus.

Decades ago, really. Before IDEs were remotely as capable as they are now, it was just generally assumed you'd advance from a basic text editor like notepad or nano into vim or emacs.

Sounds like smart glasses might do it, if you normally wear glasses. Don't know how visible the display is from the outside, but I imagine if it isn't already they'd eventually be made invisible for privacy.
