Fine. Give up. Don’t chase a dream. Just go find some drudgery for a paycheck. Don’t bother saving. You won’t need it. You never had a shot anyway. Your ideas are stupid. Any time you think of a thing, someone else has thought of it first.

Eh, I’d always know who I am as a person… and who I was holds little value, frankly, because the past is the past. And it’s not like I’ve ever had a ton of control over my personality. I didn’t decide to be a pedantic nerd. I didn’t dec

Depends on your localization norms. Admittedly, though, I don’t recall ever seeing a scheme that uses commas throughout. Usually if the decimal is a comma, the thousands separator is a period, in my experience.

Pitch it as an Accessibility improvement. As someone who is -12.5 diopters in my good eye, I’m excited by the prospect of improvement.

I’m a 46-year old former LARPer, D&D nerd, etc, and I don’t know what a pappenheimer rapier looks like… it might be a bit niche. :)

Could be that they’re all generated from the same seed. And we humans are really good at spotting patterns like that.

PG&E is Pacific Gas and Electric. It provides utility services to tens of millions of people. They’re one of, if not the biggest single utility companies in the country. It’s not like MomNPop, LLC.

Yeah, it’s a whole different kind of noise. Rather than a monotonic chorus of clicks, it’s a polyphonic cacophony of clicks, clacks, plonks thunks, rattles and the occasional twang, like only a buckling spring switch can offer. I love min

I daily drive one of these. There’s nothing quite like the crunch of an actual buckling spring. I wish there were a bit more of a customization market, but I’m pretty happy with mine, despite it being beige on beige.

To clarify here, the VATSIM controllers are real humans. The traffic is simulated, but also “real”, in that it’s human sim pilots flying “on network.” And the network is sim-agnostic. I’m still working on being good enough with my plane in

GPS-enforced speed could be done fully internal to the vehicle. THe jurisdiction data would have to be accurately stored internally, but that’s not incredibly difficult; e.g. Apple Maps has speed limit info for something north of 90% of US

I read an article about this recently, but can’t find it to officially cite it. However, the thrust was something like this: Despite unemployment being low, the reality is that many of those “thousands of positions” are either geographical

Companies announcing that they’re not going to do work, and actively doing work to hamper said platform (e.g. Netflix disabling the iPad app from working on the VisionPro) sure comes across that way.

You don’t usually announce a wait-and-see approach. You just wait. This feels like a calculated, possibly coordinated attack.

I’ve known several people whose surname was Van<something> who simply went by “Van”. They were all older gents, but it’s not outside the realm of plausibility that “Van” could be what van Sabben was called. :)

Autocomplete got worse because the new system in iOS17 didn’t retain training data from prior versions. It reset everyone back to untrained. I’ve been manually correcting specialized language I use daily (e.g. “iRacing”) on my 12 (non-pro)
