I think of it is the level of regulation I'd require / desire in an endeavour. On one side there's things with very little regulation required, private companies go crazy (and they will!:). On the other hand, there's thi

That's fair, but context is everything :) I approached it as a discussion on Hacker News, and I think my implicit assumption (which can be challenged!) is that taking a structured, logical approach benefits us all. When I saw what I pe

That's a trick question though, and it cunningly pre-supposes / takes-for-granted there IS an "immigration problem", and implicitly that "the immigration problem is the root cause of other problems" (as oppos

I think typically the term "Far" is meant to denote where it lies on political spectrum, and has fairly well understood typical brew of populist/authoritarian/nationalistic/xenophobic, with themes of strength, unity

My experience is different ; Somehow I befriended a bunch of professional opera and orchestra singers in my mid 20s. It is now 20 years later and they absolutely all have side gigs. We need to distinguish "professional opera singer&quo

Took me a while to figure out what you're saying, now I assume you're using the "up is direction of motion"? I use map view / north is up, which makes it reasonably easy to get he big picture - I encourage everybody

The anti vaccination movement was strong before AI. I would correlate it more with rise of social networks than AI. It'd be interesting if there was a data based graph but I wonder what the source data would look like - antivax is exte

Like it, but would love a "No Undo" option, or at least, "don't force undo". My friends and I share our wordle results daily. Would like to add this, but so that if you guess in three or four tries, that's OK,

First and foremost, massive sympathies on your partner's plight. It sucks, it's stressful, and has real world impacts. To your general question, I feel it's a variation of the "why do bad things happen to good people&quo

It's possible I'm just less adventurous now. Nvme drives just plug in on mobo and take zero space. I don't have to navigate and bend and fit massive ribbon AND power cables from one end of case to another. 3-4 Nvme fit onto m

That's just it. My 12700k has maximum turbo of 190 watts. But it has giant air HSF that was trivial to install and I don't even HEAR the thing. No problems! Same with the 300watt gpu. My Athlon 1100 was barely a third tdp at 60wat

9000rpm?? And I thought my alpha pal 6035 was a screamer! I think it did 6500-7000rpm though I could be wrong. How did it sound? :)

I think yes - everything was just more breakable. It feels today's heatsink, CPUs, motherboards, can handle the load and installation they're designed for (rtx 5xxx power connectors notwithstanding). I started building PCs in earl

Yup, I killed an Athlon XP in a ridiculously (over-)expensive Voodoo Gaming computer in a similar fashion while updating the HSF, as careful as I was. I've been nervous and anxious every time I update a chip or hear sink ever since eve

I would've assumed it's small scale laundering. What you're saying is it may just be a very cheeky and brazen sales tactic? "Doesn't hurt to try"...

#20 indicates "breaking rapport with body language" which I interpreted as looking away, shifty, crossing arms, standing at angle, fidgeting, and other behaviours neurotypicals may construe or indicate as not paying attention. In

These are excellent notes for neurotypical people, particularly those who are extrovert or can mask / fake it without undue cost :) Addendum rather than correction - neurodivergent and or introvert behaviour may differ - I'm AuDH

The basics of PalmOS were fairly touch oriented but resistive rather than capacitive, which made a difference usability wise. Menus though could get desktop-y. I think the big diff was assumption of handwriting as the UI. Latter palm treo h
