It comes down to what is considered "windows". When the whole external material is glass, glass panes aren't just windows anymore. That's the full glass buildings returned in your windowless query.

I am amazed at the amount of things people are willing to treat as "solved problem". At a point there was a TED talk explaining social networks were a solved problem now that facebook was dominant. Recycling was seen as solved pro

So they are trying to automatise a system so people don't have to think about it, but a bulk of reactions are about finding ways to make it behave better in their specific use case. Doesn't it mean Apple basically half-assed it ?

On of the appeal of a GoPro is the simplicity and ruggedness. When planning to go on vacation for instance, a GoPro is ideal for kids to shoot whatever they want without having to borrow parent's phone/camera or some expensive poi

My 6S works surprisingly well with thin transparent gloves. They're white color, but it seems they're thin enough to expose the ridges.

I guess you are really comparing screen sizes ? The physical size of the 8 and this new SE is pretty much the same as the X/11 Pro (it's only smaller 5~6mm in height, 4mm in width, 0.4~8 mm in depth). If you were holding up on you

You seem to be complaining more about the browser than HTML per se. Why not use another browser ? or even a lynx like browser then ? I think despite all of these most of us stick with modern browsers because the tradeoffs are worth it. Remo

To clarify a bit, I didn't mean cheating in a much negative way. Using physical goods as reference to color is the basic evolution for everyone. As I understand it "blue" in english for instance was initially pointing to a co

This is super cool. It's interesting that a lot of color names listed here are pointing to actual things. Just like in english we'd have the "orange" color backed by the average color of oranges. I also think they would

This feels like the equivalent of sending tweets by sms or dialing by tapping tones. People use it mostly because it’s supported, they’d use different workarounds otherwise. Then it’s cool when it works and allows niche uses, but you can’t

To be fair, what they ended up with seems far from a standard round robin system, and the amount of manual tweaking they acknowledge doing indicates it’s more complicated than picking an algorithm in a textbook.

Wouldn't it be Orwellian if it was the elected president censoring/redacting people's tweet ? I'd be on board with Twitter on this one, hoping they use it as a precedent for dealing with the other living policy infringe

We could try the glass half full angle: perhaps it's a baby step towards doing something about life threatening tweets in the US.

It’s hard to argue an entity does terrible things while putting aside all their terrible deeds. How would you judge if what they’re doing regarding Huawei is not one of them ? To my knowledge nothing of interest has been put on table as pro
