I needed exactly this sort of tool for a reverse-engineering project! I was so invested I returned here to write this comment... then spotted the other comments about "no Firefox support". Indeed, visually broken "Browser Not

It's a pervasive Chinese phone problem. I've used many and they all have "Battery saving" features on by default, which means killing background apps after a while apparently. Battery life is great, but newly installed a

Does the "removing dead code" advantage outweigh the additional complexity of having to maintain 2 different confusables lists: one for when NFKC has been applied first and one without? It didn't sound like applying one after

Lift (elevator) sidenote: there are fancy well designed ones where the turnstile communicates what floor you need to go to to the lift, and a "destination dispatch" system assigns/batches groups of passengers with similar&#x2

Curious. I admire the analytic side since it's what I consider myself personally weak at. I have always preferred visual and spatial problems (then again, I spent a long time playing with Lego and making things). I wonder how I ought t

It matches the design of Japanese mainstream shops. Look up images for "Japanese drugstore" to see what I mean here.

It frightens me no more than the possibility of building a flawed airplane or a computer that overheats (looking at you, NVIDIA 12-pin) and "never being able to update the HW". Product recalls and redesigns exist for a reason. If

Why is no one admitting that even though resources like RAM, CPU, etc. are plentiful nowadays, they should still be conserved? Computers have gotten orders of magnitude faster since 2016, but using mainstream apps certainly don't feel

Neat article. I used to daily drive a ZSA Moonlander but it got unwieldy with desk space taking notes on my laptop as well. Recently tried it again, and some of my muscle memory is still here - though all the second layer shortcuts I'v

Neat project, but it looks like you forgot to convert the world into 3D too :P Mercator projection looks really strange when you look at it sideways to see the layers of aircraft, but the world doesn't fall away on the horizon. It woul

As a lifelong Android user (in the EU, where Apple hegemony is not as strong) I always saw Apple as the "pay more for more polished ecosystem UX" option. So it always surprises me when things that are trivial on Android/Linux

Actually doesn't make for a bad reaction time and processing game since you need to think fast and avoid distractions. Mobile offers a speed boost for taps but heavy nerf to text entry tasks.

Neat game! I would like the map to have a scale bar though. It would also be useful to see train station timetables while somewhere else to plan ahead. Floating points for currencies :/ "You only have 306.99999999999994 GBP, you

Neat and utilitarian tool that I've used for a while. I'm always disappointed that it's not open-source though. It would be really cool to be able to run the "viewshed" / etc. calculations locally, instead of h

Possible empirical justification: Non-tech and more "typical" orgs (train companies...) don't spend lots of money on slick-sounding one-word .com domains.

Is consciously rejecting deliberately addictive short-form content and sacrificing convenience in favour of purpose not a sign of self control and discipline? I've often thought the same as you wrote in your comment, but my inner contr

Indeed. It works with infrared light, the same way most TV remotes do.

I'm curious - which firmware version are you on? Just yesterday I got confused when I accidentally entered the "cache" folder (Handy sliced models?) on my P1S, so it looks like my machine definitely supports folders at least.

Unfortunately, I think all these things are externalities - or at least, areas that don't impact revenue enough to get companies to change. I too wish that software would be efficient, robust and long-lasting. But it seems that most pe

Really neat project but - Rust on embedded. Haven't tried it yet - has anyone got experience comparing it to C/C++?

No, interest is not bad. I would say that excessive time dedicated to certain interests is bad, because it might lead to neglecting other interests that have real-world consequences. There are only 24 hours in a day, after all. Which conseq

I've done that before (like many others), and occasionally still do. My current experience is that Wikipedia is decidedly finite (as far as content that is interesting enough for me to stick to, despite it being 3am). The slower pace a

Thanks for your positive response. It's true, we all need to help each other in finding community and human connection again amidst the waterfall of "content". It's taken a few years to get to this point, but seeing the

Agreed, AI/VR definitely offers nightmarish opportunities. At least drugs/alcohol are self limiting: you have to meet your dealer, go to a store, eventually run out of money... TikTok/Reels/Shorts are free, infinite, and

Fundamentally, I think having a source of "free dopamine" on tap is not going to do any good. If I can get distracted from my real world tasks anytime, anywhere, the immediate incentives to work on real things disappear. Effective

Neat simulation, but something seems up with the traits. I have ended up with two lineages with ridiculously high "Predate" scores - one with over 10^22 "percent". Also, it's currently running at 1 tick per second..

Perhaps some overheating would be possible, especially during "fast charge". But batteries have had temperature sensors for a long time (that's what the extra contacts on a removable Nokia brick battery are), and the battery

It helps that USB to serial is a solved problem. Plenty of manufacturers make parts that work well and don't need to try and imitate FTDI.

Intriguing. I concede that I was wrong about Starlink satellite beams. It makes sense that even with phased array beamforming, achieving a single dish-sized footprint on the ground is not feasible. At a 310 mile altitude, a 8 mile radius be
