I’ve always considered Apple’s scrolling acceleration to be among its most important features. For, like, 30 years. Since the Mac debuted. But I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that someone out there wants to disable it.

As @transitus said, some quantitative statements about results would be really helpful here. I hope you can get some. Other than that, what you’re saying is very convincing.

I dig that. I’ve got two boxes of Apple ][ 5-1/4” diskettes sealed pretty tightly. I think the sight of their labels and _the smell_ will be tremendously evocative whenever I choose to open them next.

First sentence: “ An iterator is an object that points to an element inside a container” This is not the primary purpose of an iterator. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to what an iterator’s primary purpose is? You? You? Bueller?

He started out talking an out how a quick feedback loop was of paramount importance, and then got pretty far afield. Eventually he asserted that Serverless elongates that loop. Maybe so; I don’t know, I haven’t used it. That a fast feedback

The real problem with these terms - if there can be said to be a real problem - is that they give the appearance of there being a naturalistic process by which the English language evolves a great deal of flowery diversity. One assumes that

It’s the truest article. I hate? despise? well at least I dislike these ridiculous terms as they are twee and are made up entirely to have a proliferation of names for things. There ought to be one for a group of ridiculous terms of venery.

There are other ways to cheer up. Making up bullshit or propagating bullshit is always going to have a cost. Admittedly there is a very low cost here. But there’s also a ridiculously low benefit. No one, I warrant, will have their life’s ha

What is this “remission” for type-2 diabetes? Does it mean that someone with the condition can, after adhering to the diet for some time, then go back to eating how they used to? I don’t think so, so “remission” is bogus. The symptoms can b
