Yeah, they're also going to get sued out of existence by publishers if they try this. https://x.com/markhardware/status/1894829887304933626

I can't overstate how important it is that a real bookmark stores itself by simply tucking it somewhere else in the book while I'm reading. A titanium dongle with a battery in it can't beat that for UX....

This is increasingly not a thing. I haven't had to do this in a very long time and my primary credit cards don't even have it in the apps/website anymore.

The relative clause "which is the worst form of unlucky" is embedded, among other complexities here. Obviously this doesn't make the text less readable, so I don't think nesting per se is the problem.

You can double up on a lot in high school (AP, IB, dual enrollment) or CLEP out of a good number of GenEd classes, but not everybody has the access and support they need to pull that off. There's potential value in going to college (as

Do you mean "more appropriate for" businesses? Because 365 is definitely targeted at individuals, nation states, and everything in between. Microsoft's home page is advertising Microsoft 365 "For 1 person" literally

I'm curious why Amazon doesn't show you in some obvious way what affiliate code your purchase is linked to, if any. I'm imagining something like the way they used to display your Amazon Smile charity if you used that option.

So it either only caught a single cheater among some unknown number, or only a single student cheated? Neither case seems to justify the expense and hassle of subjecting everybody to this process, not to mention everything else wrong with T

This is an incredibly popular opinion! Unless the "unpopular" part is that this is somehow fine or justifiable.

I'm on Fedora and it took essentially no time for me to apply FW's recommended battery life configs[1]. (I think on Fedora they just recommend default settings.) I don't feel the need to play around with anything at all; I ge

If you have a chance to see Memoria by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, you definitely should. Tilda Swinton plays a woman with this condition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoria_(2021_film)

It's absurd that the most consequential part of this entire ruling is treated as a literal footnote and given no more due consideration.

Do you imagine the suits in Amsterdam are actually responsible for the quality of any given Elsevier journal? Most of the genuinely prestigious titles they publish were acquisitions. It is as clear an example of rent seeking as anyone can c

"Big bucks" is the last thing I'm talking about. I'm not talking about symphony subscribers and other blue hairs in a concert hall. I'm talking about an audience of creative peers.

Okay, and supposing an artist doesn't want to be a hobo or a hermit?

Why not indeed? If there is an orchestra's worth of musicians available and an audience there with the taste and curiosity necessary to support avant garde performing arts, anything can happen. It's easier now than ever to put a b

If Philip Glass had had to live in "rural nowhere" in order to afford to make music, we would have never heard of Philip Glass. vatys isn't asking if you can make any living this way, because of course you can. The specific

For me (writing in mixed English and Spanish) it's never necessary to actually change the keyboard unless I just want the ñ key available. I wrote half of this with the English keyboard and half with the Spanish keyboard and it didn&#x

That's generally exactly how it works for me. I don't think I've done anything special with my configuration apart from enabling two different language keyboards.

by joe5150 2y ago
I never have to switch languages just to type a word or two in another language into the keyboard. Switching keyboards is very fast from the button on the keyboard, but switching isn't even really necessary to type in multiple Latin al

that's good to know but disappointing to learn!

I agree that's a poor analogy. Nonetheless, millimeter wave scanners don't use ionizing radiation.

by joe5150 2y ago
Not to suggest that you shouldn't opt out for any reason you want, but the mm wave scanner doesn't use x-rays. I don't think the x-ray scanners were ever widely deployed and none of them are in use anymore. You're expose

I'm sure it varies a lot by type of job, but in my field it is not the first or even fifth place I would look for a new job. There's a lot of noise and postings can often be stale or in some cases are missing details, maybe becaus

I believe the OP was using figurative language. The point seems to be that _something_ is hampering their engineering department and they shouldn't be lobbying the government to have their software so deeply embedded into so many syste

Not in my experience. For my typical dual boot situation where Grub is installed as the bootloader, I have to update the Grub settings like so to allow Windows updates to go smoothly: GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

Reproducing a quotation from a book is likely always fair use in the US. A database of quotes is also probably not copyrightable in the first place though of course the software is.

It seems willfully obtuse to read "understand the impulse" as "excuse the behavior" in this context.
