Just tried installing Firefox on my mac and pinch-to-zoom doesn't even seem to be enabled by default. I had to insert 4 obscure config values in the right place [1] to get it to even start working, and as you say it's very jerky.

I've been doing this for the last few months, along with taking a picture every day and attaching it to the text. I've found it has noticeably improved my short-term memory of events, which has always been a weak point of mine. I

Just googling around, I found this test: https://www.arealme.com/vocabulary-size-test/en/ No idea about its accuracy, but as a native English speaker it's telling me my vocabulary size is 30k words, which sou

I'm 23 and have been using computers very heavily for the last 10 or so years - probably an average of 6 hours a day. During a particularly intensive day of typing last week I started getting pain in my right hand. I had to resort to h

They'd have your stunnel server IP, so if they were really, really determined they could probably track you down by forcing your ISP/VPS provider to identify you. I doubt they'd bother for $45 worth of WiFi, but personally I

Essentially it means that City Skylines could compute anything that it is possible to compute, given enough time. Therefore it is functionally equivalent to the computer you're typing on. In reality, like all computers, it has memory c

Cognitive decline happens to everyone the longer they live, if that's ageism then I'm afraid it's also reality. Testing everyone yearly would be prohibitively expensive. Hopefully, self-driving cars will eventually render the

I know this is quite selfish but the more accessible youtube-dl is, the more likely Google is to see it as a business threat, and the more likely they are to add some sort of content DRM. Just something to think about

This is very far outside my realm of expertise but isn't it possible they're running some sort of obfuscation on the binary before releasing? 40k LOC seems unbelievable to me, surely even scrolling around in a text editor would be

I love the idea of using OEIS to automate finding mathematical patterns in the solution. Also, plotting the search space immediately is something I know is often unreasonably effective, but I almost never take the time to do. This is a fa

This makes me sad. Wikipedia is surely one of humanity's greatest accomplishments to date. Having such a resource be off limits to a large section of our population is truly depressing. Of course, there was always the language barrier,
