Tearing is 100% a matter of whether your video drivers are tuned for benchmarks or desktop use; just set an environment variable.

Laptops are pretty fragile, especially with how a lot of people treat them. Replacement is due to breakage, not obsolescence.

That's like saying "my car has most of its components working", when it has no engine, only 12V battery power. For me personally , the first dealbreaker I keep hitting is the fact that input-method-adjacent keyboard logic

Yes, Wayland is broken by design, since a single crash takes down the whole desktop; unlike other Wayland complaints, this one fundamentally will never be fixed. This is unlike X11, where it was very common to recover from the inevitable si

Well, it's been a nice run. I've loved KDE since 2008 because it provided a lot of useful features (though its advantage over GNOME 2 was minimal at the time; it only became the obvious choice with the self-inflicted fall of GNOME

So, the answer is "no", since that's just old-school finite depth counting.

Do CSS variables let you count arbitrarily-deep nesting levels? That is, can a rule for `x` defined a variable that matches the number in the immediate text here? <x>1<x>2<x>3</x></x></x&g

It's always a mistake to look at numbers for consensus, without also considering how strongly the positions are held.

That is, unfortunately, a tiny niche where there even exists a way of formally verifying that the AI's output makes sense.

Obviously the solution is to bring back manual typewriters.

Some solutions include: add a hook to node on the command line, fake a `node_modules`, try to make an import map work, just hard-code the path ... most of this is quite intrusive unlike the simple `require` path. I really don't have a

Let's say a gallon of gas costs $4 and your car gets 40 MPG. So $1 gets you 10 miles if you only consider gas (which very many people do, even if you think they shouldn't - much maintenance is imagined as time-based, and this is n

I know that the word was used in non-sexual contexts, but was it really original or by analogy like it often is today? And that source seems wrong when claiming sexual use is modern, since it absolutely is used in sexual contexts in Latin

Edge case: what if your phone does while in transit, and you can't charge it?

From experience, $1 is not enough to keep out the people who spend the whole trip talking about where they want to go to jail for the winter. And $1 is already expensive enough that if the destination is within 5-10 miles, driving is chea

> The devil is a seducer This use is strongly derived from the sexual sense. E.g. the Bible is full of "Thy Maker is thine husband, and you are cheating!" Maybe someone more versed in Latin than I am could look up "seduco&

I'm finding "smartphone, but with Google Play disabled" a pretty good compromise.

Tbf in a post-scarcity society, that should be expected, if historical inertia doesn't prevent it.

I'm not familiar with that particular problem, but I did use a load-bearing "when".

Matrix multiplication libraries are ugly. They either give up on performance or have atrocious interfaces ... sometimes both. Using matrix multiplication is also ugly when it's literally millions of times less efficient then a proper

Honestly, I don't see the value gain, given how many other problems the JS tooling has (even ignoring the ecosystem). In particular, the fact that Typescript makes it very difficult to write a project that uses both browser-specific

The whole point is that the studies explicitly did look, and found a negative result.

To avoid arguments about the definition of "be", the clear conclusion is that if it exists it's indistinguishable prior to that age, so any claims before that age can only be considered noise. It's critical to remember

The problem is that homeschooling is extremely bimodal (and the split at least used to be pretty even). It tends to be either very good or very bad. In particular, the "unschooling" approach (not always named such) is almost unive

The 'N' in particular is very worth watching. There are really no good answers, but at least an intentional answer is better than an accidental answer.

From the Conservative part of my social group, the main one applicable here is pushing elementary school kids to identify as trans. Because young children are very impressionable, and it is forbidden for staff to push back on on it at all

Locally, you can do: apt-cache showpkg 'node-*' | grep ^Package: which returns 4155 results, though 727 of them are type packages. Using these in commonjs code is trivial; they are automatically found by `require`. Unfortun

(possibly the limit is 8k or 10k characters) A brief note on Bible translations. All translations are biased. Some translations have their bias obvious (which is good) or aimed at a target that is no longer applicable (also good); others ar
