It's a relief to see something other than ‘Doom running on a cinematograph projector’ where the device only acts as the video output.

I'm impressed that they managed to shove in some weird Powerpoint-style formatting at the beginning of the readme.

I have to wonder sometimes, what if the West finally has enough and shuts China off from all its trade? Sure, prices will rise, but that's the cost of staying alive anyway—I'm convinced we'll have to scale consumption back at

Kare's art is full of character. The Solitaire cards are different from everything else in Windows. I recognize the Chicago font immediately upon seeing like three words for a split second (it's still used a lot in headings on vid

Well, that ended up centralizing email, so basically the beginning of the end of the old web.

I had a Samsung NC10, 10-inch, and touch-typed on it just fine. Perhaps 10" is larger than what some people mean by ‘netbook’, but it fit in a shoulder bag and weighed about 1.3 kg, so was pretty light. Guess Macbook Air and copycats s

Ah! Never drew the parallel, but being an uber-introvert with no desire to be involved in any social conflict for the rest of my life, I naturally gravitated toward that behavior. “When people grow tired, they call it wisdom”.

Perhaps because the proper honest statement that vast majority of people can make is ‘I have no clue about any of this’.

I mean, what do you expect of someone who posts a social-media-style PR article as a PDF.

It seems this is the ‘marking menu’: https://lesterbanks.com/lxb_metal/wp-content/uploads/2014/02... But it looks pretty dubious from the perspective of Fitts' law. The items to the left and right a

You'd probably want to use ‘native messaging’ from the extension for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web... I think it's sufficient to override the ‘contextmenu’

It omits shift-cursor inputs, however it seems to finally answer for me the mystery of what those weird modes are that are entered by shift-selection: ‘select visual’ and ‘insert select’, if I'm not mistaken. Also apparently I forgot a

The most useful command, in my experience, is ‘:s’—it alone justified the use of Vim for me. I occasionally drop some lines in Vim, use ‘:s’ and paste the result into the terminal—simply because it's much easier to edit multiple shell

One downside of Moscow and SPb metro that perennially bothers me is how loud it is in the trains. In Helsinki or Stockholm metro (iirc) you can easily talk to someone at nearly normal indoor volume. Notably, the noise almost disappears if t

Wasn't the Aegis system designed with this very kind of modularity, though at a higher level? Want different missiles on your ship, no need to build a different ship: just lift the module out and put a new one in.

Tip: if you're curious enough to watch a video of Rossmann's, do that in the incognito mode. Otherwise you'll be pestered with recommendations of the other two thousand of his videos, until the end of your days. Perhaps you&#

Another fun fact is that Quake 1 fits on a floppy if you throw away the single-player maps and most of the character models, leaving like six of the models and a handful of multiplayer maps (wasn't there also six of them in total?). Wh

Only one of five mirrors works, but then I discovered that the last version is from 2002, so I guess it's surprising that Ibiblio still holds out. I vaguely remember the name—however from some time recovery tools changed to mini-CD for

I doubt it very much that this customization will be implemented consistently and fully by developers, unless Google themselves solve everything for the programmer and require next to zero changes.

Yeah, afaik that's right. To my knowledge, the en dash is raised in some fonts compared to the other ones, so that it aligns better with numbers—which are usually always ‘uppercase’.
