swipe typing is great until you fudge it just a little bit. Then it gets hilarious horrible really fast.

touch type is just muscle memory - you absolutely can touch type with physical keyboards once you learn how. touch typing on a virtual keyboard on a flat glass screen is hard because they keys are less accurate and don't give you feedb

But it is far more likely to actually work. Obsolete sources or not, they're further ahead for actual phone stuff than basically anyone else.

It seems more reasonable to me, and with a roughly equal amount of evidence, that lawsuit culture was created by a mixture of media sensationalizing a couple of lawsuits and lawyers capitalizing on the fear.

yes, that is what I meant. It's been a long time since I've used that info. The story I remember was that Insulin was the first protein that was sequenced, which is funny because it was before they made the distinction. It's

I will wholly disagree with this point of view. Telling people that their whole category of thought doesn't exist based on your own personal variants of definitions is belittling. I put in a different comment that this isn't that

I'm estimating roughly 90-ish characters in a row, roughly 40 rows encoding the spike protein. So about 3600 base pairs. There are 3 base pairs per amino acid, so That's 1200 amino acids. For comparison, the smallest chain that th

the "rhetorical technique" is a softer way of saying "manipulative and dishonest" in this context.

Trying to steel man David Foster Wallace here, I would say his point is that, if you define "religion" instead as a sort of personal philosophy, then we all have one. And because we all have a philosophy of some sort, we all have

This is obviously incorrect. If someone is making an argument then there is a higher bar of what word usage means than stories about santa clause. And using words like "religion" with completely different, fuzzier, less meaningful

So... to break down the idea, it starts with redefining energy, then leans on that definition to justify making more bitcoin. What this means has nothing to do with energy, and everything to do with cost savings on bitcoin mining by intenti

This seems like the equivalent of saying "prosecutors aren't going away, and adding defence attorneys on top of that is not an improvement if they share the same flaws". Lawyers are famously hated around the world. But it&#x2

This is true for some people, but not for others, which is why this is so hard to generalize. a "linux phone" means different things to different people. In a perfect world I'd have a phone that is analogous. As iPhone is to

I know Elementary does something similar. Every time I hear about it, they make it sound like it's successful, but I've never actually seen any numbers.

Consciousness... from a physics perspective. Well that sets off alarms already with the title. goign through the article, it does get better, but not much. the first step they go through is redefining consciousness. Well, most definitions o

This comes down to reputations largely. I'm sure that 1943 paper tried very hard to keep their reputation. But there is a whole term for thteh sensationalist style of newspapers called Yellow Journalism that's been around for a VE

Question then - does flatpak require an explicit flag when installing them to access those files? Or is it as I assumed just "flatpak install"

If you need excess permissions, then why use a package format that promises sandboxing?
53.
by andagainagain 6y ago
Of course, in "classic" apps, there is explicitly no protection. They don't promise it, and you don't get those by default when trying to install a snap.

by andagainagain 6y ago
One thing that gets me about the sandbox of flatpak is that it doesn't seem to be up to the user. If the developer of the app chooses the permissions, then there isn't a fundamental difference for security from having all permissi

They do this consciously, absolutely. And they have for over 100 years.

Math mysteries like this fascinate me, because my first thought was that the problem is so simple it can't be that hard to solve. Then, within 1 minute of trying it reveals itself to be something close to impossible.

Or physics is perfectly fine, and so is materialism. Quantum weirdness, remember, is defined by physics. It's tested by physics. And it's perfectly compatible with materialism. The problem is in people's understanding. Full d

The problem isn't "we can't come up with a definition of life", it's "every time we define life, we don't like the results". We could make up any definition. The problem is that we instantly think &qu

Most people consider themselves generalists. And it kinda makes sense, because most people, when you know more about them, are generalists.
