I think the variations are intentional. If I were a designer and looking to match backgrounds, I wouldn't eyeball it. I'd screenshot the target and eyedropper the color - that's independent of panel differences. But maybe I&#

This is unlikely to happen for the same reason that we don't apply a tiered system to larger SUVs and pickups, which are clearly more dangerous than smaller, practical cars. People will subconsciously fight any self reflection and resi

Now you have a new problem of no one agreeing on a standard saturation level. I'm noticing this more with "dark themes": everyone has a different idea of dark gray. Since dark themes naturally lead to subduing all other color

Laws (de jure) that are not enforced, do not exist (de facto). For example, Massachusetts may have similarly tough laws but 85% of Massachusetts' drunk driving cases are dismissed. And that's 85% of the ones that actually make it

It never ceases to amaze me how much free engineering effort is expended to work around Apple's resistance to open source and power user hostility.

If we eliminate drunk driving (10k deaths per year, many more injured) in exchange for every single person in those fantastical scenarios dying, lives will be saved by many orders of magnitude. And that's granting that your drunk pregn

That is the root cause of why this is being introduced and why there's a fight. As a society, the US absolutely refuses to prioritize safe driving over access to driving. We accept road deaths as the cost of business for our suburban s

License suspension or revocation is de facto not a thing in the US. Okay, on paper, yes, it exists but then you have: - "Hardship" exceptions for going to work/groceries, which are totally abused. - Driving on a suspended lic

When this came up before, I was reminded of this video: https://youtu.be/vMed1qceJ_Q I love using a bike to get around and do all of my daily activities. But I hate just riding around in circles for no purpose other than ex

Encryption is a nerd sniping/clickbait topic. I would argue there are other rules with worse impact: - Baud rate vs symbol rate vs bandwidth occupied - No spread spectrum south of ~2.4GHz - New protocols/modes are a catch-22 of ne

I must be crazy because I still prefer regular Make to CMake. It seems like CMake tried to fix autotools problems (which were not Make's problems) but then created new problems of it's own. Why is setting an install prefix so comp

I can't tell if this is a defense or outrage? 1st party seems worse as, depending on the purpose, it might be harder to remove.

Removing seat belt laws will not curb police abuse of power. It's treating a symptom, not a cause. Accepting a philosophy of withholding medical care in cases like that would lead to a society of cripples and dead. I don't see how

And maybe I can trace my family back to the 1600's? Thanks for your "explanation". I know exactly how people see cars. My great-grandfather, a Boston driver if there ever was, raged against stop lights when they were introduc

Meta: The title of this post was different earlier this morning. The change doesn't quite conform to the rules, using a subtitle(?) rather than the actual title. But more interestingly, the bizarre bird name and lack of context actuall

Oh God yes. Computers don't get impatient, don't let their temper spiral out of control, don't "bravely" try to get to work on 3 hours of sleep, don't display crab-bucket jerk moves, etc. Cars bring out the wor

Putting Jitsi aside for the moment, Zoom and other video call systems saved lives during the pandemic. It enabled fewer in person gatherings, staved off depression/suicide by maintaining social connections, and enabled remote work. Les

You're missing the dissonance part: all the people around me, who are high risk, are at work or school . I am classed as low risk (= no booster) yet I'm perma-WFH. If it's not about me, what is it about? Also to clarify, I&#

The CDC guidance can be generously interpreted to include anyone who works in person and not remotely as well.

Yeah, actually. I biked to work. It was great exercise, physically and mentally. The change of scenery was a good shift and being downtown with lots of coworkers and people was invigorating. Biking was also pretty core to my identity. Not i

Booster and office access has been such a ringing dissonance for me. For boosters, I'm "too healthy" and do not qualify under even the most generous reading of the CDC guidance. On office access, my office is still not open w

I don't think you need to defend yourself so vigorously in this thread. But I would say that what you're seeing is distinctly the American experience with e-bikes and bike enforcement. Americans are generally clueless about e-bike

Anyone using Rust on ESP32? I'm 24 hours into trying and it's dredging up memories of old cross-compile toolchain problems, like trying to compile dependencies as x86 :). Either way, it's a fun project so far so I'm not

I don't see what your point here is. Apple forces developers to do something. Google does not. Information on alternative Android app stores is trivial to come across. They're just not very popular or worthwhile because Google isn

I don't know why we keep building (= paying for) carriers the way that we do. A tanker hull conversion is about as strategically useful and would be a fraction of the cost. Survivability is a moot point when you can swarm a big radar t

I don't know if it's too late for that group. Macs are fashionable and I think people will feel they're being treated poorly if given a Windows laptop instead. You're right on with WSL2 providing a standard usable enviro
