What a classic non-apology that was. > I feel terrible that my rallying cry seemed insensitive. What I’d hoped would energize the team to meet a challenge we’ve met many times before landed in a way that I did not intend and for that I

Whatever strategy is implemented it absolutely should respect the user preference for which wifi network is preferred. How can you defend getting in the way of a user connecting to their home network when at home? Seriously, address that pa

Just because a service is marketed as having a feature doesn't mean they have an excuse to undo a user setting in their OS that explicitly says they don't want to use it. Maybe they do want to connect to the advertised network whe

I think the Gemini FAQ[1] has a good answer to this that I imagine is pretty in line with the Kyuweb proposal author's motivations. Using an alternative protocol is completely optional for you as a user so I don't think calling it

Ah so that's why Quora no longer shows you the first result before blurring the page most of the time. It's a shame. I've really enjoyed a lot of the well written responses there but I can't be bothered to create another

Just to add a bit of constructive criticism if I may. I think the presentation on your site and especially in the screenshots is an overload of color and busy graphics to the point that it is very hard to look at let alone decipher any of t

The animal search[1] even returns results for some categories of animals like "crustacean", "bird", and "feline". Nice attention to detail. [1] https://www.oreilly.com/animals.csp

I'm in the same camp, thinking I probably have aphantasia. Before I read about it I didn't call it anything because I had no concept that there was anything lacking in my experience. I thought it was just how everyone's mind

Is “signal” the correct word to use for naturally occurring radio bursts? I thought that word implied radio waves used to convey meaning.

They kind of miss some of the charm of this word in translation. Yes “tsumu” is pile up and “doku” is reading but “(v)de-oku” is to do that verb in preparation or “for later”. So tsunde-oku which you can contract to tsundoku also literally
