I can use Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E, and Ctrl-U in text fields in the lynx browser, but not Ctrl-W. I just checked to see if Ctrl-F and Ctrl-B work, and found that the former kills one word forward and the latter acts like Ctrl-W ought to?

There was a recently a review of Apple Classical in The New Yorker [1], which compares it to a few other services, some also mentioned in this thread. Apparently, many fare better on grouping compositions as an serious listener would appr

The article being reported on does not make this conclusion. The study authors are interested only in the time it takes for (human) users to complete CAPTCHAs, and did not examine the speed at which bots solve them. The fact that bots can s

My introduction to roff and co. as a typesetting system was the 1997 edition of Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins's Sed & Awk . Many of the book's examples are geared toward automatically inserting/correcting roff macros

This reminds me of an article in the Atlantic I liked [1], which argued that the real problem for American education is that it places too much emphasis on the mechanics of reading comprehension, leaving content-oriented coursework such a

I love hating on how bad the modern search experience is -- SEO spam has ruined everything. But I'm a little confused by the exact wording of this post. Google's Bard is in competition with GPT, isn't it? Is it not? Was there

I'm a bit perplexed by the title. The article distinguishes between an early, anonymous, unregulated internet culture -- which the NFT club seems to resemble -- and contemporary internet people who "decided to make the internet bo

I hate commuting, I don't much care for my coworkers, I'm fairly antisocial in general, and I love hanging out at home. Remote work seems to have solved a number of work-life balance and accessibility problems. So while I can&#x27

Not only is the content on these "flip shop" sites lazy and plagiarized, it seems to have a high signal-to-noise ratio. The answer to a simple question is buried under unnecessary prefatory material. ("If you have ever wonder
