MacOS also has this issue. The thumbnails are so small as to be useless. Especially if you have multiple similar images. In the Finder you can choose larger thumbnails but not in a file open dialog. Used to be able to several versions of t

I don't know if "right bias" is enough to simulate my experience in traffic which includes trying to get in the fastest lane and also trying to get over to the exit for my exit. As well as when my exit is backed up a couple o

almost entirely unrelated but I would love some way to play Synth Riders with AR goggles instead of VR. On expert/master levels a good song is a serious aerobic workout but I can't do more than 1-2 songs at a time because sweating

On many mobile sites (amp?) an ad is inserted every screenful of text so the longer the text the more ads. Not sure this is related but go look at english recipe sites. 10-15 screens of fluff to get to the recipe. It's clearly some kin

I am not a parent but I am a product of parents. I have friends that were pushed to learn a musical instrument. They hated being pushed as a kid but as an adult they are so happy to have been pushed. My father was a musician but his POV was

I would certainly think so except I live In Tokyo and people commuted in some of the most crowded trains in the world all through March 2020 until now. The numbers finally started rising in November 2020 but the morning rush hour trains hav

I feel like it's an exaggeration to say 堂 mean "sacred space". Maybe in some historical sense but it's used for common places. 食堂 (cafeteria) 公会堂 (public hall). If you put 堂 in Google Maps you'll find 1000s of place

I have the opposite pov. The anti-lockdown people always seem to argue that without lockdown there would be zero economic consequences. They argue in some fantasy alternate timeline where everyone under 60 just goes about their business as

I'm a little confused. That feature has been built into Photoshop since at least CS1 (2003), maybe earlier. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/slicing-web-pages.ht...

Even if you did that it wouldn't repo flash. Flash streamed the file, executing it and making it interactive to the user long before the entire file was downloaded.

People still do this even without flash. Lots of people post tiny online games that require dragging the mouse with the left mouse button pressed and it's clear they forgot/ignored that the majority of people are on laptops

Typing "Hey Siri, set an alarm for 10am" doesn't sound remotely like an improvement over the old alarm UX.

It's not that hard ... Or rather it's almost all solved problems. The proof is the number of 1-4 person indie teams making games that look like AAA games. Two examples. https://store.steampowered.com/app/41729

Asking siri is noisy, (people sleeping next to me).

I'm not so sure that's true though. Me, I don't buy any clothing that has a visible logo on it. I won't pay to advertise for someone. I know others show off brand logos for various reasons. For laptops I don't have

I said 50-75% not 100%. How many other things in life would you lower your chances of success 50-75% if you could easily avoid it? The polls show 75% to 44% of women don't find bald men attractive. I'm going to guess those numbers

I'll consider text to speech done when I can give it a novel and have it sound like the best voice actor audiobook performance.

I'd argue this is basically impossible. Choosing what to report and how to report it. Which facts, how they are presented, etc. Listening to mostly left leaning shows, even when they think they're just reporting the facts I hear i

There is considerable debate on if the placebo effect is real and for what situations it is. For example apparently it can cure a headache but AFAIK there is no evidence it can cure actual physiological issues (cancer, sickness, ...) It mak

Google Docs and Mail both have this. I mostly hate it with a fiery passion as it tries to coerce all my writing into some standard bland style. I like it when it truly catches a real mistake but grammar is more flexible than it believes it

I just wish there were better UIs for much of this stuff. Most code editors have a regex search and replace figuring out the regex requires too much regex expertise. I can't think of a good example off the top of my head but for exampl

Japan has a culture of obligation to take care of your parents but it has side effects. Dating sites for example you list if you're the oldest because people often don't want to marry the oldest since their obliged to care for the

It's not clear the Japanese system is going to survive the aging of Japan. It's also not clear to me the Japanese system works that well. People point to live expectancy but don't factor for culture, life style, diet, and gen

I would add to this, why even have "phone service" anymore. I call my family via Facebook Messenger or Zoom etc... I'm surprised that more more companies don't let me call them via these services or that some new startup
