I had my mind blown by the same functionality in Android. Being able to select text from an app in the app-switching context is amazing. I will definitely use this.

I have a feeling something has happened to search. Previously I didn't have to bookmark stuff. I could just search for whatever I wanted to find. Since a couple of years that is no longer true. I can't find basic information relat

Only in languages where they are umlauts. Look at, for example, Ä and Umlaut-A: they have historically been written differently. They were simplified to mean the same thing in handwriting a long time ago, but as recently as in iso-8859-1 th

He managed to fudge a largeish consensus to close Gitmo. When he became president, the former president and McCain had voiced will to close it He could have let them be tried in civilian courts, but chose not to do so because some of the in

And you don't think the FAO reports that are most often quoted (Livestock's long shadow, and Tackling climate change through livestock) didn't take the biogenic carbon cycle into account? Come on.

I think you are VASTLY underestimating the amount of pigs cows and chicken. The domesticated chicken is, for example, by far the most common bird with a population about 15 times larger than the second. Humans make up between 30-40% of land

In a circular ecosystem that sustained that population. Any co2e they produced would be offset by natural processes (and in some cases they would store co2). They moved over almost all of the US and a large chunk of Canada in a system that

When Obama visited Sweden a long time ago I protested against Guantanamo by calling for him to be sent to the International Court of Justice in Haag. When I explained why people just didn't think it was a very big deal. Most people, ev

There are enough people becoming b12 deficient on a diet that actually contains b12. Take a b12 supplement. Don't risk it. Fortified products are not enough. Deficiency can take years to develop. Personally I take a vegan supplement th

Hangul in general is pretty smart in general. You can get the hang of it in an afternoon, which is something you cannot say about the Korean language in general.

The audio war sort of faded out of the collective conscious. I have no idea what happened since at least 2016. Did opus win? Why haven't I seen anything by xiphmont for what feels like a thousand years?

At the same time things like proper macros are a great way to try new language features. Iterating on something like an object system or miniKanren becomes a lot more simple.

I have no mathematical background at all (I am an orchestra musician), and I did get it to mostly work. It was just that it didn't work for some inputs, and I could never figure out why despite having access to a proper debugger and a

I laughed when I read that GCM is hard for library authors. I remember trying to implement GCM but failing, so I decided to transcribe a "simple implementation" but failed at that also. Then I decided to try OCB mode and it worked

Germany has been reaping in lots of money due to it's position in the eurozone. They were by far the strongest producer of goods, and not allowing other countries to compete using low valued currency means they gained an astonishing am

So these people should just stay ill as decided by fate? You can't decide your genes or luck or whatever, and you shouldn't be granted treatment just because you happened to have money. Social mobility stinks in the U.S., meaning

That is just individualizing a societal problem. A sick person has already qualified for care. The U.S. has, by FAR, the highest healthcare spending in the world, yet some people are to poor to not be blind. Chances are that these people d

Isn't this the same old discussion that was recently ignited again by the Mr beast's glaucoma video? The US is a country where some people just can't afford not to be blind (or mentally ill). Their largest hope is for a mill

I think it is because it benefits workers differently. People with high salaries would usually get even higher salaries in the states, whereas people with low-earning jobs would get less paid with a less stable employment. The HN selection

I have seen this in many, though. Diet cures a lot of diseases of affluence, but once you start thinking it is a cure-all, you will start seeing enemies everywhere. I stay far away from the raw vegan community in my town for that reason. I

I think a language where it is an expression should also let the loop accumulate a value. In those cases you could just have it return the identity/base type of whatever you are accumulating. Say like the for loops in racket, or my own

It isn't more flexible. Maybe more expressive or convenient, since you are only describing the flow in a cursory manner. Sometimes you will need to be explicit about what you want to happen, and then a proper loop facility will let you

The more I read about the Iran-Contra scandal, the more convinced I am that Reagan and the people he surrounded himself with (including bush) were/are crooks.

600.000 was a bit too much for my 3 year old low-end android phone. 400k workes OK. when I sorted everything into folders I could bump it up to 600k probably due to time saved rendering.

I have had this idea as well but for me there is too much space wasted by the space bar. I feel I have to get the thumb to far in under my hand for that setup to be comfortable. I would like a 3-4 unit space-bar.
