Right. I don't find that clear anymore. Seems more like a puzzle to me. The 3D one works somewhat well if the spheres are translucent and animated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram#Extensions_to_hig...

Of course nice / "proper" / usable Venn diagrams use only round(-ish) shapes so they are easy to decipher. If you stick to this limitation, you can visualize up to 3 sets in 2D (using circles), 4 sets in 3D (using sphere

Or watch the full credits scroll by after a movie. Once they stop, the whole world scrolls in the opposite direction. It seems like the visual cortex is especially quick at adapting to patterns and needs a second to "unlearn" agai

For me it was Rainbow Six Siege. I started heavily focusing on sight lines in every room I was. It was very unpleasant and I soon stopped playing.

Of course. But I have hundreds of user accounts, as probably many people do. I would not enjoy changing all those email addresses.

And one day you've had it with Apple's latest user-hostile shenanigans and switch to Linux. What now? Do you just keep paying for iCloud+ forever?

Yeah, "more slower" is indeed a weird way to phrase something. People should just refer to the absolute values, not to the differences. E.g. "1.4 times as fast as …" or "1/2 as heavy as …". If I read &quot

The assumption, that being good at making plans, learning from mistakes etc. leads to more happiness, is wrong. It leads to higher achievements. Happiness is a different dimension.

It's not about enforcing this, it's about OpenAI having their asses covered. The blame is now clearly on the user's side.

300% faster = 400% original speed = 4 times as fast = 1/4 the time

Yet manufacturers give us thinner and thinner phones every year (instead of using that space for the battery), and make it difficult to swap out batteries which have degraded.

Or just 2. I like my screen aspect ratios in decimal representation. The "wider" the image, the larger the number. Square would be 1. It makes it easy to compare ratios: for example the aspect ratio of a movie (say 2.39) to my scr

But it doesn't. You can talk about micro-motors, implemented on a PCB, like [1] and get a number in the same ballpark. That's the whole point – it's a ratio, it tells you nothing about the absolute size of the motor. [1] htt

> 59kW/kg At this point why don't we get rid of the k prefix and write 59W/g? Edit: I was half joking, but various answers mention kW being standard for motors, kg being the SI unit for mass etc. All true, but as used here

Just round up. The countdown is done as soon as 0 appears (0 doesn't linger for 1 second).

macOS is by far the worst gaming platform. I think most macOS users are fully aware of that.

Nice story. I guess it can be looked at as some sort of parable. But if I take it literally: I never had a power outage at work, but SAAS downtime happens every year (probably multiple times).

I think it's annoying and patronizing. When exporting, I have to use the file browser to pick a directory and filename to save, when all I want to do is overwrite the file I have open.

Can I now finally open a png or jpg file, make some edits and hit <Ctrl + S> or do I still have to go through the "Export" dialog?

I want both! I strongly believe the computer should relieve the user of all the obvious, tedious, boring tasks. That includes figuring out types, if they can be figured out by inspecting the code. Obviously this isn't an easy problem t

This makes me wonder: what do developers, who completely rely on LLMs to write their code, do when the service is down? I realize this is already a problem for other jobs, which require working with SAAS, but it seems odd to me that now som

I love the clean syntax of Swift, which allows you to omit a lot of syntactic noise. It's so much nicer to write and read than for example Rust with it's ugly wordiness. But the type checker performance really is inacceptable.
