It does feel unnatural to me. I want to be frugal with compute resource but I then have to make sure I still use appropriate language in emails to humans.

Is that how you approach debugging? :)

Funny to think of the author sending documents to a computer-to-fax service and the recipient doing the reverse.

I was particularly referring to Office applications which have a first stage save dialogue with some folders shown but if you want to navigate to another location you need to browse which opens another window. In the physical office metapho

It should be possible to get creative and business work done on a computer while knowing almost nothing about an os but I use Windows at work and the situation with the file save dialogue in office is a farce. I can't imagine how confu

If I'm spending at least 12k USD on the machine then doing some electrical works to accommodate it is not a big deal.

The UK NHS is one of the biggest employers in the world. It absolutely could choose to hire and cultivate that level of expertise but then how would senior management retire into Palantir sinecures? (It actually has quite a few expert staff

You learned that such things are even possible, and you learned that other people saw you as the cool tech guy just because you took time to memorise that stuff.

Quite a few people on here are neither math nor CS grads and some of us don't work in tech for our day jobs either.

Glad you said areas rather than countries. It is quite common to degrade the environment within rich countries as long as it isn't near where powerful people live.

London buses are tap on entry only. For pay as you go riders the fare is not linked to distance travelled.

"whose ridership has bounced back more quickly after Covid than rail." I suspect that's because rail users are more likely to have jobs which can be done remotely. The writer might also consider that short distances between b

This is true but seems to be orthogonal to the post you replied to. At a further tangent, I encounter people saying "well it's on Google" as they seem to think Google has some authority or quality threshold.

I want Facebook to be like the current top post on here: my family and friends social stuff. I can come to hn to get out of my silo.

If you are comfortable using the laptop keyboard what was your motivation to buy the glove80? I use that as my daily driver but if I didn't get tendonitis from normal keyboards then I wouldn't have bought it.

You use emacs so why should anyone else need MS Word? A large number of people use word processor software because it has advantages over typewriters or handwriting for their purposes rather than because they lack training in something more

This sounds like I need to host my PDS. Easy for me with no public profile but if I was someone famous wouldn't that mean I needed enterprise class hosting?
