I, on the other hand, use the keyboard shortcuts to adjust the browser width to achieve the desired line width and line start, because even when the web page takes care to set these, it varies from site to site and rarely is what I want. (F

Maybe by most users, but not by most users who use it for many hours daily for professional tasks (i.e. not just as a kind of tabular list editor).

Unfortunately, the intersection between “modern” and “do this well” is pretty much the empty set.

I prefer “misprovement”, as in “misfeature”.

FWIW, I don’t have aphantasia; I can visualize stuff in my head, but it’s nothing like actual vision, and neither is how I see in what I would call vivid dreams. My dreams and my wakeful “mind’s eye” are pretty similar, I would say. The poi

No, but I wouldn’t expect it to stagnate like with Intel in the 2010s either. Maybe the biggest caveat is that most people will be fine with using cloud providers, so the market for non-server hardware won’t be subject to as much competitio

It seems roughly similar to the pricing level of personal computers in the early eighties (i.e. IBM PC and Apple Macintosh). I’d expect prices to come down significantly over the next few years. Not so much in the next year or two, but afte

I submit that “dupe” is a misleading misnomer if the submission does not link to the same content.

The question is: What makes you trust your own perception that doesn’t make you trust others’ reports? Objectively speaking, how could there possibly something that convinces you of your own perception while nothing can convince you of anot

I’m pretty sure people’s perspective will change when they understand the process in detail, and that the “I” isn’t a singular thing, but an interplay of parts, where some observe the processing of others. For me it’s already non-baffling n

There are applications where you want to run multiple instances but also want to have them use shared state, e.g. for their preferences (editable via their UI). Or think of an editor or something like Excel. You probably don’t want the file

The flip side is that this might become a thing of the past for future hardware/firmware, if AI hardening becomes standard practice. There’s no substitute for having open systems that aren’t cryptographically locked down by the manufac

The rationale probably was that end users primarily identify the email provider by the subdomain, not the TLD, and therefore to prevent spoofing they block all domains where the subdomain corresponds to an email provider, regardless of the

Then people will want to share and exchange their evolved harnesses. Ways will be found to modularize certain aspects to enable mixing and matching. I’m thinking of how in cyberpunk, people are replacing their cybernetic enhancements all th

I’d say that harnesses almost by definition are the parts that you want to keep customizable. That won’t get absorbed into the weights.

It doesn’t make sense for monospaced to me, because the overly wide period character already creates additional breathing room.

It means that they used a photo with unclear provenance, or they didn’t check the provenance. For issuing a stamp, you don’t just take a random photo of the statue and eyeball it and say “looks close enough to me”.

MOND people have become a small minority. In addition to the galaxy cluster observations, MOND doesn’t match the CMB power spectrum, while ΛCDM does, and various very precise measurements within the solar system also contradict MOND. This w
