Your Musashi quote reminds me of another relatively well-known quote from philosopher Eugene Gendlin: "What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn't make it worse. Not being open about it doesn't make it go away. And be

A similar one for Kagi: All other popular search engines have an alternative URL that enforces safesearch, allowing IT admins/parents to prevent safesearch being turned off at a DNS level (e.g. forcesafesearch.google.com, strict.bing.c

To some extent they already have this at sora.chatgpt.com. There are likes, "Explore", Top Rated. No comments yet. But seems like an initial exploration into whatever's coming.

For a modern series that does this idea[1] really well, check out the "William Bee's Wonderful World of..." series. [1] i.e. Non-fiction about machines, featuring drawings for kids with lots of accurate little details.

I wonder if your friend's text adventure was itself inspired by Colossal Cave Adventure, the very first popular text adventure game.

It's easy to blame Hoobastank, but in my experience with these issues, most of the time the reason is you.

IRD's phone calling campaign about enabling two-factor auth was also not great.

It does seem to look visually less squished if I flip the image over, so beyond the projection, I would also say yes to optical illusion to some extent: https://i.imgur.com/JPIuvYl.jpeg

For the first few years of let's-make-school-digital it was even worse, all iPads instead of chromebooks. Not even a keyboard to type on.

Only a little bigger but you're right, I didn't think the bezels on the Streak looked that big but I see they're really pretty substantial. It's the dimensions of a modern 6.5" phone, basically.

I remember a coworker getting a Dell Streak Android phone in 2010 and it was enormous. Definitely felt more like a small tablet. The GSM Arena review is mostly about the confusion of whether it should still be considered a phone at this siz

We'll see. I wonder how well the Air will sell. I do understand the Mini didn't sell well, so I'm obviously not the average consumer.

The iPhone Mini size isn't to bad, but I agree to some extent - I think perfect size phone for me would be about original iPhone SE size. It could have a 5" screen if you made it edge-to-edge (for ref the iPhone Mini has a 5.4&quo

The 17 does technically have a smaller screen than the Air, but only by 0.2". Not exactly a small phone. They don't even have a 6.1" phone anymore - smallest now is going to be 6.3".

It's more the other two dimensions that I want shrunk. Did anyone think their phone was too thick to fit in their pocket?

There's a section in Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance (1974) where Persig takes this all the way to the final conclusion that there should be no grades at University, and no degree at the end, and then and only then will every

Reminds me of when someone links to a product on some (non-Amazon) website, I go there, it says "this is the US site, you should go to the [your country] site!", I click OK, and it takes me to the homepage.

Good point about the ~1mm difference. Interestingly on my MIDI keyboard the difference between white key widths is even larger (maybe ~3mm max), showing some variation in style. By the way your two comments in this discussion had been voted

Yep, and if you can pump water back into the lake with excess solar power when the sun in shining, you now have a giant storage battery as well.

There is a good [dead] comment reply to my comment here by user sefn where they point out that in fact the spacing is not exactly equal, it varies by about 1mm (and they're correct). If you've got "showdead" on, you can

Can you elaborate on your thinking here? I really feel C is the easiest (in standard major tonality - obviously C minor, blues scale etc are a different story).

With the irregular layout we have now, some keys are easy (e.g. C) and some are hard (e.g. B). If you make the layout regular, putting a black note between every white note, then every key becomes the same, but also quite hard, because ever
