16 GB M1 Air here and it's stuttery (stalls for 1-2 seconds). And yes, overall horrible.

I would say practical reasons. How would you structure those lessons? You'd need a lot more resources to be able to tailor everyone's path like that. It would be great though. I loved going to school for the first 4 years when we

> They just want to do their job, cash their paycheck, and go back to their loved ones. Cynic warning. Why wouldn't they instead choose to work with something they enjoy doing? Is that just a euphemism for some people being so bad

My decision to not use heroin has zero to do with its legality status.

Yup, that's my preferred method of intake. Quick, easy, clean. I don't understand why people bother making lines, or using spoons or whatnot. Sure, the onset is a bit slower, but I'm rarely in that kind of a hurry. Edit: In

"we are all fucked" seems like a rather exaggerated conclusion. It's like you're excluding how many people there are who are not bothered even when it hits them personally.

Actually it does.

Depends. I'm know that this is how it's counted in Finland at least. If a person dies within 30 days of getting tested positive for Covid it's counted as a "Covid death".

This exact question is brought up at around 7:30 in the [5] video.

Yup. This kind of thinking is prevalent in politics where leftists disregard right-wind media and vice versa. Both sides have good points worth considering, but they are simply disregarded due to being "the viewpoint of the wrong/

Looks like a neat concept! I tried it out quickly and it seems quite early indeed. It (for whatever reason) didn't detect all directories/files. For example I created a new workspace based on a directory containing four subdirecto

Perhaps a simplification to this would be a poker night, where at the beginning of the evening everyone puts in some real money and in return get poker chips. At the end of the night people can exchange whatever chips they have left for rea

It's all about the shiny. I haven't been in the Mac ecosystem for that long (since 2015), but what I've noticed is that Apple, like most software companies, tend to accentuate the new and fancy features. I would personally lo

I know what you mean! My brother is very talented at drawing and he's been doing it his whole life. It's fascinating to see him start drawing something where I don't see what it's supposed to be until he's finished

Nice. What did you use to generate this? How much of the work was manual?

This seems incredibly clunky compared to Signal where you by design can message yourself without any hassle (and you're called "Note to Self" in the chat list).

by spurgu 5y ago
Yeah I do this with files/links/notes/numbers on Signal, where I have myself pinned to the top (Signal calls yourself "Note to Self" in the chat list).

Yeah I'm reminded of Jason Padgett, who turned into a "math genius" after an accident involving head trauma[0]. Judging from that I rather think that us "normal" people have abilities that are hidden from us, filter

Haven't read the article but my immediate thought is that it's kind of obvious if you simply replace it with "microprocessors". I don't know about the historical significance of the 4004 though.

Yeah, this has been apparent from the beginning (summer of 2020). puts on tinfoil hat Maybe the overall reaction to Covid was exacerbated by the fact that Trump downplayed it, so everyone felt like exaggerating it to oppose the viewpoint?

I find it impressive that QNX is still around, I remember trying it out in the late 90's, booting it off a floppy disk!

None. :) The solution that works best for me is just having a laptop. Instead of plugging in an external monitor my setup consists of using three virtual desktops: 1. Browser (lots of windows), chat clients 2. Code editor (lots of windows)

Well, it's coming from the perspective of having lived in the Canaries and becoming aware of the fact that Morocco isn't necessarily the nicest neighbour to have. There are lots of border issues which would be exacerbated if the C

Those are not mutually exclusive.

Something I've wondered, how would Catalonia feel about independence if it was neighbouring Morocco instead of France?

I'm not "afraid" of it, I just think it's unnecessarily compicated to work with spaces in filenames on the command line.
