If it makes you feel any better, I don't know Cypher and SQL still feels like an outdated monster.

Yes, unironically. The computer should adapt to me, not vice versa. It exists entirely to do things I tell it to do.

Zoom also doesn't require an account for everyone.

And a few other mental disorders, yeah. "Depersonalization" is the relevant search term. This was the real "sudden insight" I got from trying meditation off and on for a few years: that the complete detachment they try t

It's almost like font size should have been solely a per-user setting in the browser, and not a per-page setting.

In fairness, a lot of us have been grumbling about that word since it caught on.

That's... not really useful for those of us who need to talk to other people using Zoom.

But a set is plural. We say "the set of things", not "the set of thing".

I was totally expecting the answer to be something like "the EU passed a law in 2013 requiring all cans to come with pull tabs".

> You can see charter schools in the same neighborhood which get less funding radically outperform. Per student, or total? Legitimately asking, because this is surprising to me.
