I think it offered some capabilities to free up disk space but Storage Sense is now part of Windows. The idea that Windows is some kind of nightmare to work with just isn't my experience at all. It is stable, and the performance is fin

But it is a gradient. There are simple "adaptive headlights" that try not to do anything too fancy. Just aim at the road, adjust for elevation, and the direction you are turning. Could imagine a hinge and a gyroscope controlling t

Also the response time is probably better with a shorter nerve length between sense organs and the brain.

Yea, and the headline of the article also gave me low expectations. But the dev does seem to have a proven track record, and the feature plan seems somewhat appealing while not being over ambitious. It is similar to a lot of distros already

Some microbes really do float in the wind like that. But apparently viruses tend to get destroyed by sunlight or desiccated fairly easily. Bacteria are more complex, and become world travellers. https://www.smithsonianmag.com

Agree with Workman's criticism of Colemak, that the letters D and H are placed sub-optimally. I find moving O to reduce the use of the right pinky to be pointless, and self-contradictory since A is not moved, and remains under the left

Very accurate division between the two mindsets. Considering the overwhelming base-rate bias, the contrary growth bias is the one that is in need of a larger voice. Also, there's some reasons to think this may be different than these o

The annual flu was worse in terms of numbers, but this illness is still early and was showing a much higher mortality rate, in proportional terms. Of course, from what I can tell, growth in mortality has been shrinking in percentage terms.
