How do we know how high pterodactyls were flying?

This seems like one of those things some people are more sensitive to than others. To my eyes, an LCD or an OLED is just as good as e-ink for reading, except in very bright sunlight.

Me too. I honestly don’t understand why it provokes so strong reactions. In fact, I find all of the changes fairly minor. I expected something much more radical when Apple announced a major design overhaul. Things look slightly different, b

Many churches were in construction for over a century, yes. Today? I’m not familiar with any examples other than Sagrada Familia, and even that one is almost finished. These multi-generation building projects seem to be a thing of the pas

I am closer to the first camp than the second, and I don’t understand why I would need longer battery life. The watch charges very quickly, and there is never a day when I don’t have the chance to charge at some point. I usually do it durin

Isn’t that how most coworking spaces work already? I’ve worked from a lot of them, and it always worked like that: I check in when I arrive in the morning, and when I check out at the end of the day, I pay for the number of hours I have spe

That only means that OpenAI have to keep logs of all conversations, not that ChatGPT will retain memories of all conversations.

How did you manage without cash in France? Many places here don’t accept anything but cash for amounts less than 5 or 10 Euros. If I just want to buy a coffee or a baguette, I often need cash.

Even as someone who uses both Helix and Zed, I don’t find Zed’s Helix keybindings very useful. There is still too much basic stuff missing. The biggest one to me personally is that the “gw” command does not seem to be implemented.

I don’t think “I’m too cool to use an IDE” was the point being made. The point is that having to switch IDEs every time the number one AI coding tool changes would be annoying.

Me too. I’ve had some very traumatic experiences the last few years, and the emotional scars will never heal. I’m not the same person I was before, and I never will be. Some people these days are hoping to combat aging and make potentially

What model do you use? I’ve been trying devstral with Zed, and found it rather disappointing.

That “if” doesn’t apply to all of us, though. Not everybody is paid by the hour. I’d love to try something like Claude code, but $100 per month is way too expensive for me, and it probably wouldn’t even give me a single extra dollar of in

I’ve used em-dashes in all sorts of online forums for decades. It’s on the Mac keyboard, and there are also tons of tools that automatically convert double or triple dashes to a single long dash. They were never uncommon.

I use Chessbook and mostly like it, but I wish there was a way to configure the spaced repetition parameters. In particular, I find the frequency of reviews too low to retain well, especially for recently added moves.

To me it’s one of my best tech purchases ever. As someone who travels a lot, having a large external monitor for my MacBook that I can bring with me anywhere does wonders for my productivity. I also appreciate being able to filter out visua

Approximately how much does it cost in practice to use Aider? My understanding is that Aider itself is free, but you have to pay per token when using an API key for your LLM of choice. I can look up for myself the prices of the various LLMs

I’ve never seen women wearing that kind of outfits in gyms in Norway or France, but I see it all the time online. Is it an American thing?

Congrats, that's an awesome average! I wish I was that fast. I don't time myself often, but when I do, I usually end up somewhere around 15 seconds. My efficiency is not bad, but my hands are just too slow. I agree about beginner

Sort of. The 3x3x3 and 5x5x5 both have fixed, immovable centers. Red is always opposite orange, blue is always opposite green, and yellow is always opposite white. The 4x4x4 doesn't have fixed centers. When you build the central 2x2 sq

I generally prefer written tutorials over video tutorials, but cubing related stuff is an exception. Videos are easier to digest. Here's a good beginner tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBHocHmPzgIjnAbNL

Solving by layers is logical, it's what most beginners learn, and it is kind of how CFOP (the most popular speedsolving method) works. Nevertheless, it's not what I would recommend. The problem with solving layer by layer is that

There are a lot of methods, optimized for different purposes. Some are easy to learn, but take a very large number of moves to solve the cube. Some are exactly the opposite: Difficult to learn, but enables you to solve the cube in just a fe

The reduction method means reducing a big cube (NxNxN for N>3) to a 3x3x3 cube by first solving the centers (the central (N-2)x(N-2)x(N-2) square on each face) and the edges (the inner N-2 pieces along each edge of the cube). You are the

That's not the only way to solve big cubes, but it's indeed the most common way (known as "reduction"), and what most people naturally come up with if they try to solve 4x4x4 or bigger on their own. In addition to what y

From a puzzle-solving point of view, these very large cubes aren't that interesting. When you increase the cube size, there are new things to figure out, but only up to a certain point. Figuring out how to solve a 4x4x4 when you know h

I bought mine used for significantly less than three grand. And the thing is, I don’t have a single fixed second place. My life is rather complicated and nomadic, having a portable big screen is very convenient.
