Yeah, one of the problems with being too abstract is that it's open to many interpretations, most of them incorrect. Also, a few pages or paragraphs won't stick; I need examples. I'm not a computer; installing new ideas in my

Good analogy, I also noticed it in other scenarios, for example when I want it to tell me if I’m wrong in an assumption, or when I want to know its opinion on some approach I’m thinking to take. It is too nice, almost like it doesn’t want t

This site[0] helped me improve my mental model. You can scroll through the solar system at scale (the moon being one pixel). It takes a while!! Then you notice a small button at the right bottom corner, that button allows you to auto-scroll

You just unlocked a nice memory for me! I remember many years ago going to a website like that (probably the one mentioned in the blogpost) and feeling a lot of satisfaction every time I was able to “hack” the exercise. Thank you!

If you are curious about how Christianity in particular would need to react you could read CS Lewis’ essay “Religion and Rocketry”. We Christians would need to answer these questions: 1. Are there animals anywhere else besides earth? 2. If

6 years old and it still performs pretty well, I’m really sensitive to slow tech but I don’t have major complains with my iPhone X in 2023. This is the longest I’ve ever owned a phone definitely buying the 15.

Something similar happens when you use Spanish accent letters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) with fonts that don’t include them. It’s amazing to me that many people seem to not notice or care that random letters don’t match the font style and they keep

There’s a direct link on the article. It’s not available in my country though. Or at least that’s the error message I got. Update: “We're starting our rollout in the US and will expand to additional countries in the coming weeks”

Yeah, I don’t get it, I used to be an android user since the first Galaxy S up until the Galaxy S7, I’m really sensitive to slow devices, so as soon as my androids got a little slow (usually after a big update) I switched to the new shiny o

RAM sells a small truck in Mexico called RAM 700 and it’s getting popular for work purposes (specially in urban areas). I have no idea why it’s not being sold in the US market. https://www.motor1.com/news/447996/20

Wow, thanks for this. I’m loving the haptic feedback. I’m not sure if this is just a placebo effect, but typing feels more precise. Is there anything in “Slide to type” that makes typing less precise?
