This idea also helps when thinking about local/global (I'd argue most of what we do is local optimization of minima, and what challenges us is when the assumptions about locality of the phenomenon are challenged enough that we can

I wouldn't really call it the "wisdom" of the era. It's much more defined by the lack of wisdom than by its presence, meaning we do a whole lot of short-term work on confirming biases and antagonizing and only on larger

It might be a bit preposterous to say what humans were meant to do or not to do, especially given that with a sample size of n = 1 we have humans actually wondering about such things. Existential anxiety isn't per se about the relative

Scott Manley made a good youtube video about just how much of the "basic" stuff one can already see around the earth by recording the sky in a 360-degrees video from a deserted place[0]. The current trends in launches with little

I should be responsible for where I put my money, and to the extent of the support I brought to whatever entity committed something illegal I should be paying for it. Isn't the market supposedly full of rational actors? Those people su

"Companies are not people" is the best way the world has been swindled into this sort of chaos. If people profit from the company, the company is people. Purdue could entirely go down or not, but I'd much rather see the peop

If you're talking about Start, Tekksavy, Tbaytel and similar, they're all bound to Rogers or Bell. I think the user you're replying to is pretty much right when it comes to Canada, and it shows in the prices you get. Same thi

This looks really nice, and I do think it fits an increasing need in a field where typically only major universities or brilliant individuals (putting in a ton of time) on youtube usually find a place. I have a couple questions for you: - I

I must be misunderstanding your example, because as a francophone living in Canada, google still shoves English-Canadian and French-Quebecois results + articles + maps my way when I search for information on Google.FR.. so I fail to see how

It also works to do text selection without clicking+dragging, same with moving files or folders. I've mostly stopped clicking outside of browsers thanks to the 3-finger drag option.

This reminds me of the (live-action) show Tiger & Dragon[0] is pretty great, although I watched it a decade ago and can't fully say whether it still lives up to my expectations. [0] https://www.imdb.com/title/t

I think you can actually lift two fingers as soon as you've started the 3-finger drag and it'll continue dragging. If you're quick enough you can lift all three fingers and reposition them, too. They really put in a lot of wo

I agree. It's great to see that there are different paths a user can take towards being satisfied. If I remember correctly, once you hold the key you can also use the number underneath to select the character (as in "long press e,

Levi Niha is really underrated. He makes music out of everything, takes on the weirdest challenges with a healthy dose of optimism, and manages to teach some stuff along the way without really trying. I don't watch his videos that of

Thanks for the advice. I'm far from being a good guitarist but I've been playing for over 15 years now so thankfully I've managed to learn a thing or two about at least the minor improvements that can change a lot of things,

I can't be sure it wouldn't have arisen, but it has indeed been confirmed to me more than once (kinesiologist, physiotherapist) that the shoes had been problematic because they led to wrong posture correction and that led to a tra

I agree. If you're leading a team of one, you're better off re-structuring things so that both you and the other person fall under your manager, and you can instead offer to mentor the other person if necessary. This strategy even
