How well does text conversion work for joined handwriting? All the examples I've seen appear to use carefully segmented handwriting, which is a bit of a red flag to me. Bonus points if someone could answer this for languages other than

Kotlin provides pretty nice syntax sugar for that: num.coerceIn(min..max) That's it. This human reader finds it considerably more readable. It also has coerceAtLeast and coerceAtMost

Al Gore is another example that comes to mind. The EU was rather dubious too.

Corporations are also theoretically accountable - you don't have to buy an iPhone if you don't like what Apple is doing. Are there clear practical limitations to how customers can exert pressure on corporations that way? Limitatio

But it's not code all the way from side to side; I've got project structure on, etc. Meanwhile on the screenshot in the comment I responded to, the vertical monitor is shown only to display a long script or program of sorts, nothi

With modern monitors being as large as they are already, I'd say the need for a vertical monitor is likely an indication you're working with spaghetti code.

Has it really changed that much in 10 years, or is part of it just the sense of alienation everyone experiences getting out of jail after a long time? I mean, 10 years ago people lamented over the exact same thing; and before that, and be

I don't think it depicts (conveys, draws from?) a specific stereotype. It's just self-disparaging humour. There's an opposite self-stereotype, captured by the phrase "Polak potrafi" (a Pole can do it), which actuall

Contrary to popular belief (and to dismay of some users downvoting my comment for merely putting the historical facts straight), it's not just "Hitler times" . Eugenics went on for considerably longer. Eg. compulsory sterili

I'm a quite fast typist, typing at around 120-130 WPM (on short distances obviously) when using QWERTY. This skill is lost if I switch to a new layout. I once tried switching to CarpalX. I was able to get to about 80-90 WPM - it had in

I'm long aware of this website. Fascinating stuff. I wonder how this Workman Layout would fare, evaluted by their algorithm?

This. This idea is exactly something I picked up from Colemak (while didn't really enjoy the entire layout). The ability to just press ctrl + capslock (remapped to backspace now) to delete the whole last word with a single hand is by i

The code it generates leaves a lot to be desired. It's highly non-idiomatic, and has the marks of a computer-generated structure all over it. This being said, it certainly facilitates the transition from Java to Kotlin as it makes for

Activities and Fragments, whatever one finds to be the problem with them, are an SDK thing, not an IDE thing.

A non-native speaker here - what does "debacletacular" mean? The word only has a few hits on Google. I understand it's a neologism of sorts, a conflation, but what's the meaning? I'm guessing "a spectacular deb

This is how one goes about understanding (or extracting a meaning from) a point. By poking at it with scepticism and watching how it holds up to scrutiny.

Of course there are Rimbauds, and there are Monets. That's beyond dispute. The implication I'm not sure about is whether the former outnumber the latter. It's psychologically understandable for someone who's accumulated

Frankly I find it difficult to figure out how the essay relates to the subject. Care to expand on it a bit?

You're correct, but anti-intellectualism (as defined for the context of this thread) doesn't belong to its targets.

Obviously all culture, and certainly mass culture in the Soviet bloc was controlled for "proper social message". I don't suppose Romania was more lax in respect to that? A movie cheering for, or even trivializing anti-social

Based on my experience (Poland) bullying typically targets social ineptitude and sycophantism towards teachers, which tends to be somewhat correlated with good performance at school. But I've never really seen anyone being persecuted f

He might have been fazed for sure. Carlsen is famously grumpy about losing. And there's a big difference between losing a single game, and losing a match consisting of several games. It's much more difficult to dismiss the latter
