It's debatable whether it's bad that the user knows where exactly they are. The problem with just showing a bar at the bottom is that iOS already uses a bar at the bottom to invoke the app switcher. Maybe a small triangle in the c

With the proliferation of different screen sizes and zoom factors, these kinds of usability problems will continue to happen. The only way I see around this is by re-introducing the 'obvious scroll bar' element, or alternatively a

The most unsatisfying but realistic answer is probably that you're best off working on whatever sparks your passion, because making dent in the universe seldomly happens intentionally, and if you don't succeed hugely at least you

I agree, and I would like to add that going out in small groups may work better for some people, because it takes off the pressure of having to "perform" or to make a "good impression" when people are not feeling up for

That doesn't address my criticism of the premise. I chose to critique the assertions made of why prayer helps. You address the question of whether it helps. It's one of these "distance healing" prayer studies, and a

I know it's maybe even the norm, but I can't get my head around this disconnect between doing deep scientific work on the one hand and having such a profoundly mystical world view that seems to sometimes eschew rational reflection

I'm confused by the intent behind this question. The point of my post was that being able to work in terminal sessions is not survivalism , it's standard tools knowledge.

Thank you Dave Winer for creating RSS. For a while there, it seemed like we were on a path of making all data free, a truly decentralized web of information. I wish the internet would have continued on that route.

I wonder what a minimal version of this would look like for x64 UEFI machines. Does anyone know whether such a project exists?

In short, yes, I do find it concerning. Germany at least has a social safety net (as opposed to, say, the US), but making use of it is often dehumanizing and complex by design. Of course owning a nice house and an upscale car is a few rungs

Of note is that "upper class" in this context is questionably defined as being in the top 10 percent of earners. I think this is misleading because I don't see someone making 3.5k as a single or 5.1k as a couple necessarily e

That's a very generic dismissal. Are you saying that I can't contribute to the discussion because I'm ill-informed or because I failed to grasp the significance of the concept? Could you be more specific about what it is that

This concept seems unhelpfully reductive and transparently targeted at people who feel a need for self-congratulation on account of being alienated by the "normal" people, although alienation is paradoxically also portrayed as one

Now there is only the "small" problem of constituting a dictatorship that is selfless, humanistic, and relentlessly benevolent. If you say that, in the face of existential threats such as climate change we don't need it to ha

I don't disagree with your assessment from a PR point of view, I guess I was just hoping the open source community would hold itself and others to higher standards. Being technically not provably guilty in a court of law is not exact

Never having had access to the NT kernel source, I don't actually know how deep these similarities go. When MS kernel engineers say those are not only superficial, I'm inclined to believe that until ReactOS have at least conducted

This is an utterly insufficient answer to the allegation that you copied internal data structures entirely from the NT kernel, including (why?) their names. Brushing this off as a free "PR campaign" only works if those NT programm

Indeed. I'd go further and say that it's generally a good idea to make backups of all the cloud stuff you're using. The assumption that it'll always be there is fundamentally flawed. While there might well be outliers, c

I liked the original form of this idea better, when it was hypothesized that universes are packed into a stack-like structure of membranes, although the mirror hypothesis has the benefit of being theoretically accessible to experimentation.
