Looks like a very developer/product-owner-sided opinion, not being able to select text and other "trivial" things are what makes software tolerable and actually usable, as listed by sibling post by kevincox, I'll quote:

Not a spreadsheet, no, (it is more of a freeform worksheet) but SMath Studio is a breeze to work on with units. It has complete support for units of measurement and comes with most built-in. It can also decompose derived units into simpler

It has a quality indicator on the bottom right, and if you click it there's a nice chart that shows the latency. https://i.imgur.com/vR7NSpG.png Or are you talking about something else?

Absolutely second on Gartic Phone, it is brilliant. It is a drawing game, but it has no scoring, so it is very welcoming for all skill levels, including zero! Among Us also has a desktop version if you prefer, but it is paid. (cheap though,

And even if you use English, any kind of non-US accent is pretty much doomed. And even if your accent is 100% Silicon Valley denizen, any app that uses your input for searching will possibly have ambiguities or incorrectness on the results,

Not who you asked, but there is something amusing about fiddling with a physical system, plus you can keep it on regardless of your main computer, and doesn't take up a window/tty/otherwise clutter the host.

Looks to be some sort of vaporware, there is no example code, no links to the book, documentation, or SDK, or if it is proprietary, contact information for licensing or whatever. I feel like it's supposed to be a joke but I don't

Is it not reasonable to demand interoperability for one of the main methods of communication in the entire world ? Forcing a specific standard is problematic, but it would be reasonable to ask any communication service to provide a fully d

Perhaps because it prominently says that it isn't even a license at all? It is just a made-up term/category to identify licenses that restrict direct commercialization of software. Like how "open-source" isn't a lic

Not really, it's just a bunch of boxes with borders, and each box has an animation saying when each border is white or black. The only notable technological "gimmick" is that it doesn't use any more HTML elements than th

In principle it could be, but usually browsers snap element rectangles to the pixel, thus protecting against that (have you ever seen a blurry border on a box because its contents had 0.5px size? nope, even though it is annoyingly common in

It's called "limitations of display devices"! The high contrast of the pictures, modern smooth scrolling, reveals the inherent ghosting (or overdrive) of most computer screens. While decent monitors are usually not noticeable

Flow's model isn't directly as an application, I suspect, but rather a browsing engine. Since the article mentions set-top boxes, that means deploying to fixed hardware which is usually the case for things like integrated browsers

Which is why I compared to legalese rather than arbitrary natural-language. My argument would be that legalese with its strict "May" "Should"s and all that could be sufficiently similar to a (verbose) programming languag

Psst, if you like the investigative aspect of Outer Wilds, do check out Return of Obra Dinn. And Disco Elysium, though that is a bit more RPG-y. (no combat though, but it has stats and "character progression")

Not sure about ConEmu itself, but Cmder (which uses ConEmu behind the scenes) offers a Quake-style dropdown terminal, and this is reason enough for me :) (If you're on Linux, there's also guake, which I used to use)

That is true. I also do the same with my screens. (though as I'm not a designer by trade I couldn't justify to myself buying a pro-grade screen)
