The thing that you want was around in the 90s already, and it's called multiple windows without tabs.

Afaik that's exactly what happened with railguns: they were tested at something like mach 11, but it turned out that they just made nice holes in the targets, instead of delivering the energy to the targets themselves. So the speed had

Exactly. Apparently these people don't stop to think why the majority of books are made in portrait format, and magazines, newspapers and some books split texts in columns.

Kinda offtopic, I wonder how's the life of code reviewers and freelancers' clients now with the existence of Copilot.

Eh, sites still just play long videos, but muted—expecting that your attention will be inevitably drawn by the movement, and you'll enable sound. It's just part of all the flashy junk immediately distracting the visitor from whate

We should define a media pseudo-format, or at least attributes for the ‘video’ tag, which would say that the video will play without sound—with it being enforced by the browser and without the option for the user to turn sound on. This way,

Kinda expected to see some elaborate packaging, in the spirit of Les Joyaux De La Princesse, or something like that. https://www.discogs.com/release/200521-Exposition-Internatio... https://www.discogs.com&#x

Wiktionary sometimes comes handy in such musings, because it has IPA spellings and recordings of pronunciations, and marks the dialects—not always but frequently for more popular words. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fo

Kinda funny that if I move the ball out of the water slowly, it generates a lot of waves, but if I shoot it in the water or out, it's just a small wave. A few times I was able to yank the ball in or out with no trace at all—though that

You forget to explain why one would do any of that instead of selling you a newer car.

Well, by now Musk should come out with a plan to shoot containers straight from the factory to the warehouse.

A, and by the way. Inevitably with a decent and widespread language you want to use third-party libraries, especially seeing as there are thousands upon thousands of them by now. Well, apparently you can load ‘compiled’ .scpt libraries—pres

I don't know about PyObjC, but JXA is very awkward when coming from JS: it brings in conventions from Objective-C, and it's not explained anywhere what patterns I'm supposed to use. E.g. with collections, it seems that instea

Guess I've gotten better-than-average at reading fine print, since the word ‘eligible’ is immediately suspect to me.

Wouldn't the CD explode soon after it got to speed? This happened plenty to discs that were just not made uniformly enough.

Yeah, I can see this improving my listening experience or whatever, absolutely. It will be totally rad, yo. I hope I can slap all the 300 V2 skins from my collection onto this, plus dsp_audiostocker—otherwise no deal, going to fb2k instead.

I vaguely think actually that the switch could be DIY-replaced with a button, to obtain proper Fn (or the reverse). Though this would likely entail some soldering on the PCB, and I'm not good with soldering. Apparently craftier people

What you describe is just MS Natural 4000. There's also MS Sculpt, with better keys: still rubberdomed, but less jiggly and way less clacky. The crowded home—pagedown column is actually alright once you get used to it, and I really don

Now I gotta somehow try that with a gamepad. Driving simulation, coming to your desktop. Traverse the lands of hyperlinks, deliver files from window to window.

Rumor is, VMs work in Rosetta. Apparently people run Windows games that way—and are saying that performance is at least not worse than in plain Windows on x64. (Though I'm not so sure now that I remember it right, since VMs tend to use

Perhaps disabled in the GUI, but you can still create a VMDK ‘disk’ file that is just a text file specifying the partition to use. I'm occasionally using this to install Linux on an external drive.
