I spent forever trying to drag the year slider, until I realized it wasn't a slider but a text box.

How would one go about creating Obsidian support for a timeline that was scattered across multiple files? I'm thinking like the network visualizer that Obsidian has, it would be great if it could find tagged dates in any file and displ

They're is no evidence that Russell's Teapot is floating out in space in orbit around the sun, AND I don't believe that it's there. If I said "I STRONGLY believe that a teapot is out there," it would be reasona

And while you're shaking your wrist, the die keeps rolling, and it only settles a half second after you stop. The same way people will roll a die for a while in their hands, especially if they really want a good roll, even though after

I don't see this as "labor having for the human" but rather as a way to immerse yourself into the fantasy that you're playing another being.

Reading your comment I had no memory of ever playing that game, until I remembered mastering the hock-a-loogie minigame. Thanks (I guess?) for the memory!

You're right, I think they would be fun. Part of the appeal was definitely the retro look, but this is a very-specific retro look that the author worked hard to put into 3D space. If people tried to make a "retro" to VR games

I've only played Obra Dinn, but I similarly had a notebook filled with notes that I used through the game.

Seems like it would be a lot more accessible for a lot of people if it were a set of HTML pages. I expect that whatever was used to create the PDF could be configured to produce a website...

All locks ought to work that way. Some don't, and it pisses me off every time.

Kind of like APs, except that you typically study only 3, sometimes 4 subjects for the final two years of high school and then take final exams. So for my final two years of high school, I only studies math, physics and bio. In the same way

Klimt is one of those artists that I feel primed to dislike, because it's so reproduced that's it's turned cheesy. I've probably seen more Kiss posters and fridge magnets and whatevers than any other painting in the wo

Very cool. Although I wonder if the analysis really answered the question it set out to ask. The author's hypothesis was that the "entirety of contemporary Italian music rests on the shoulders of Gianni Maroccolo." He then tr

I think GP's point was specifically Google's famous history of starting projects and then shutting them down within a few years. Old Rokus still work. My Roku 3600 is eight years old.

And famous art that's much smaller in person than I expected: The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. For such an epic image, it's only 25x37 cm / 10x14".

Indeed, "artificial diamond" is one of the top examples of the first definition of "artificial" at Merriam-Webster, which is "man-made." [1] Etymologically it means "made by skill." But I understand t

It's not about how an RGB monitor produces the color, it's about how it's perceived. #00ffff ("Cyan" or "Aqua" [1]) looks bluer to me than green, while #008080 ("Teal") looks significantly greene

Agreed. I think that chatbots will be like a short circuit to the brain's centers that seek out socialization, making one part of the brain happy to keep up the stimulus by chatting away, while the rest of the brain shriveles into lone

Yeah, I think the LLM for everything crazy is stupid, but I do wish there were a little more of it in the Google Assistant. Then I could finally say "Text Bob 'Home in 5'" and not have it reply "Sorry, I don't

There are only about 2300 words in regular Wordle's dictionary, which makes a pretty obvious ceiling. We can shrink that further by picking a starting word like TRACE, because the largest possible group the also could fall into after t

How would you prove that you voted how you said you did? If you took a picture of your ballot, or even if you filmed yourself putting it in the envelope and putting it in the mailbox, there's nothing stopping you from taking it out lat

I was going to say. AFAIK, no one has worked out a way that you can verify that your own vote was counted, while preventing you from being able to sell your vote.
