Interesting. OK, so I think two things here, if I understand you correctly: – Bounce effect IS disorienting for some people in some contexts. Hence the decision to disable it in line w/ "Reduce motion" pref. – On YouTube, Saf

It's gotta be a choice, right?, since they're enabling or disabling the bounce scroll based on the pref. If it was just system-agnostic the pref wouldn't make a difference. My understanding is all of the browsers contain a lo

Huh, yeah, turning on "Reduce motion" does indeed disable bounce scroll in Firefox. Definitely a strange choice on their part! (It doesn't affect it in other apps.) > I changed my system settings, as I don’t like the defau

First time in a while running Firefox on Mac, and I'm happy to report it finally supports bounce scrolling! In general scrolling is very smooth and performance seems excellent.

It's funny, but in a different genre, because we should expect Krugman to be clueless, whereas in theory people on geeky tech websites would be better.

That's pretty sweet, I didn't know C++ could do this now! Zig's still got it beat handily in simplicity though -- I think what's really cool about Zig's idea of comp-time evaluation is you get something like the pow

If you're trying to support a claim, it's more useful if you specifically point out which facts you believe support the claim, rather than linking to a many-page summary, with some 183 footnotes. Usually if someone does this, I ta

It's reminiscent of socialist realism -- with a modern, tech twist. The favored art-style of woke companies. It's their vision of utopia: a rainbow of skin tones, but everyone belonging to the same global monoculture.

Just looking at macro fat breakdowns (per cronometer.com) it's definitely one of the better vegetable oils, but still not awesome -- 28% PUFA, 2/1 n6/n3. Which isn't terrible, but like 2.5x the PUFA content of olive oil,

Does an app staying resident in memory but suspended use battery tho? Also, I'd wonder if restarting an app wouldn't be more cpu (and thus battery) intensive than just unsuspending it.

Yep. Another example of this is scrolling views w/ buttons. Apple put out a whole whitepaper on how you have to take care to get this problem right: it's a subtle thing where you need to figure if the touch input is intended to be

Well, it works great if the apps aren't flushed -- but after an update about, I dunno, I wanna say 12 to 18 months ago, apps get terminated all the time (at least on my iPhone 12). Since modern apps sort of expect not to be quit, the

I think not everyone is going to be sensitive to this, but apart from battery life, it's super nice having a computer that's not spewing out heat or running the fans loudly.

Yeah Glen can be pretty over the top / grating stylistically recently, but he still seems to be rigorously honest, which is definitely more than you can say for the NYT or Guardian.

You need more than just raw calories, though. How much plant food would it take to match this in terms of protein and B-vitamins? https://imgur.com/a/8zzvcrq So that's just 1 pound of beef. You could get about 500
