Dogs and humans can clearly communicate. They recognise words and signal things they want all the time. And I don’t doubt the dog is pressing the buttons to interact with the owner. That is all pretty ordinary dog stuff, just with unusual e

I just watched a few videos and it’s seems obvious it’s all down to cherry picking and confirmation bias on the part of the owner. I’ve no doubt the owner believes the dog is deliberately constructing sentences, but that isn’t what’s happen

Maybe Tinder and some of its competitors will all self-destruct in that way, or retreat into being a kind of lowbrow spamware network for loners. But if so, there will still be a market demand from people who want to meet other humans to re

This seems unlikely. Even if this were their plan, they surely would do it quietly and not make a press release about it.

My sense is fewer Zoomers are interested in the grimy/underworld/rave vibe compared to Millennials and Gen X. It’s all the same to them. My theory is that when Millennials were growing up there was still a strong ‘default culture’

I’m definitely talking about the actually reusable bags, which is often all that is available these days. It’s got more and more extreme over the last couple of years. The two supermarkets near me (Morrisons and Waitrose) only sell these st

I almost always have to buy bags. I tend to pick up groceries on a whim while already out and about so I don’t have bags with me. And even when I go out specifically for groceries, I usually forget to bring bags. I consider it a tax for bei

> Arguing that plastic bags shouldn't be tackled because something else could be done is an argument to do nothing. How does that follow?

This is my question too. I think I’m going to have to try both. AFAICT so far, Lapce is ‘just’ someone’s open source project that has got popular, while Zed is made by a funded-looking startup with several employees that announced they were

Did you know you can also use a data-URI as a favicon? And if you use a <text> element inside that SVG, you can set any text as a favicon - including an emoji. For example, this sets the favicon to a little picture of the text "!

This doesn't make sense. Assuming it's worn on the left wrist, and the crown is on the right of the watch face, then the crown is _always_ facing down (when hands are down) - no matter if you're wearing it on the inside or ou

I thought that was gone but you’re right, app.ft.com still works and can be installed as a full screen PWA. But the main site, ft.com, isn’t a PWA (or at least, it doesn’t install as a full screen web app). I had assumed they had shut down

I think it's pretty feasible for a web app (assuming the user trusts it) to prompt a user and explain how to add it to homescreen from iOS Safari. I can imagine, and think I've seen in the past, a nice-enough UI flow to get people

Are you sure? I just looked at ‘inactive’ data. [0] It was ~8.6 million at the start of 2020, and ~9.2 million at end of 2023. That doesn’t seem like a big jump, in fact zoomed out to ten years the pandemic doesn’t even really jump out at a

The judge’s point is that if they want to sue anyone for misleading them, it should be whoever sent them the message. He’s not saying they would necessarily win that hypothetical case.

The situation with homeownership and rent is undoubtedly much worse compared to generations past, as that article argues. But that's looking at changes over a decades timescale, during which the economy has gone through many periods of

Weird. It's a technical recession (GDP falling two quarters in a row). Yet unemployment has dropped to 3.8% [0] and real-terms wages are still going up [1]. I feel those figures are a better indicator for economic health than GDP growt

No numbers, no estimate of what % of buyers have returned them or are considering it? It just says there has been an ‘uptick’ of social media posts saying people are returning them. An uptick since when? Since a couple of weeks ago before i

Some rules are just very hard to enforce when a new technology comes along. And when that happens, breaking the rules becomes widespread (eg, downloading MP3s back in Napster days), and industries are eventually forced to find new business

I've had a stab at decompressing the code by hand, adding comments and meaningful var names where possible. I still don't understand the maths in it... https://github.com/callumlocke/bitwise-liminal-expanded
