I'm going to be honest, and say that I have no idea if this comment on that page is relevant to the article in the OP. But if it is, it's hilarious: > OK, point taken. But if one has any experience with experiments in the found

I agree, you shouldn't try to get someone's attention before typing a complete thought. But it's the original attention-seeking message that's the problem, not the complete thought. Maybe what I'm saying is that we

That's really interesting! The new steam controller keyboard takes advantage of the dual touchpads to give you the split hunt and peck as described in the study. You can see how there are larger targets for certain letters, and more to

The old steam gamepad keyboard was also predictable in this way; I don't know if it's still used, I just remember being impressed by the concept. With two sticks and shoulder buttons I think you could really get somewhere with thi

I can think of two reasons that they might think the new version is better: - The new snippet might be more useful to a majority of the people searching. It shows you the keys on the keyboard, it explains how to input it instead of relying

Do you have examples of the backlash to this essay? Were there any actual consequences to expressing his opinion, or did people just express their own opinions about his?

"people agreed on things in the past that we don't agree with today" - arguably true, but historians get mad sometimes depending on the specifics, they might have a point "therefore anything we agree on today is 100% arb

Colored e-ink displays are discussed at around 8:00 in this video; there are probably better sources, but this is the one I'm familiar with, so I figured I'd link it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsbiO8EAsGw Th

I wasn't referring to that, thanks. I was referring to your own irrational willingness to hand over the same data based on how they ask for it. Maybe it is rational; you know they're not getting any useful data with an opt-in, so

Well, I don't like being lied to. In July of 2020, has there actually been a lot of talk about privilege? Is that really where this thought process started? It seems way more likely that he started by complaining about cancel culture,

I suppose we can put "privilege" in the bucket next to "fake news", along with all the other words co-opted to mean the exact opposite of their original meaning..
