As a reflective display, you want to optimise for the percentage of useful light reflected back to the user. Switching the white (or black) out for another colour will necessarily reduce the contrast ratio of the display, which is of course

I'm forced to use a Mac for work, and I use yabai. It's far superior to the default mac experience, which seems to be designed to actively hide windows and make your life more difficult, but it's still a pain to use. It'

This is a good move but several years too late. Google has already squandered it's lead in shopping when they replaced an excellent shopping search engine with a crippled advertising board that neither shows the cheapest prices nor a w

In technology, it seems to be the case that once some fact is old enough to be known as gospel, the world will have moved on enough that it's not true anymore. And when challenged by the new norm, the old guard repeat their gospel loud

The server doesn't support java plugins for bukkit/spigot. Because none of the internals are shared any interface layer would be needlessly complex and a drag on maintenance. The lua plugin system is well-developed and documented

No, plastic can be very tough, but is not generally very hard (although there are exceptions to both). Since plastic can stretch a large amount before breaking it absorbs more energy than a (inverse of tough) object, so it is tough. Since i
