It's useful, but after so many years the state of machine translations and speech recognition in general is still not exactly reliable. It's like it doesn't have context or doesn't know how to apply it. I've heard s

Even if you'd fold them open to the point they almost break and individual pages get loose, it still does not yield the book unreadable. I've read books like that. No, it's not exactly the best experience, but as long as all

Figuring out these things is fairly easy: Windows is quite involved when it comes to using keyboard, so usually when I'm in a new environment I try a bunch of typical keyboard strokes to see which ones react.

but I can't tap a keyboard letter to jump down the list Works for me: Win key, down arrow to get into list (otherwise it will search everything), typing a letter jumps to that letter. Bonus tip, sometimes useful: Ctrl+arrows resizes

This looks pretty neat, but most features listed are sort of customised clones of standard Windows behavior so I'm not sure it's compelling enough to switch (or, the explanation isn't doing justice to what it actually does)?

Just so you know, there are plenty of books, films and music with ads Yes, and also plenty without, so that doesn't prove much I'm afraid. The harder you try to run away from ads, the more you pay to escape them, the harder the

I really want to do this, but last time I checked it also leads to FF sending UTC time back to sites (or something like that), resulting in showing non-local time for your own and other interactions on pretty much all sites like github&#x2F

So it's a typical 'oh a size_t is big enough I'm never going to have numbers that big' bug? Not that I blame you, I've written enough of those..

I ran mailinabox for like 5 years and there were no major painpoints, some quirks while setting up which I don't even remember. And it's best to keep it up to date, updating to new releases if you're far behind can get messy.

engineers are only good at "yes, but" Being primarily an engineer myself, I can't help to say 'yes, but' you might want to rephrase this into 'untrained engineers' or 'some engineers' or '

on StackOverflow it is entirely normal, even expected, that you post a well thought out and reasoned question and its instantly downvoted because, well, who knows why Hmm, not my experience, at all. Though I heard this more than once, so

Would you still consider your 'keep cop occupied' a good idea knowing those cops could just as well be doing things which actually matter? Getting drunk drivers out of the traffic, just to name something. Is that morally ok? Also:

Just looking at the safe/unsafe string example I wonder if another usable approach would be to ditch plain strings and instead use thin wrappers like UnsafeString and SafeString and a bunch of operations on them. But not assignment, fo

Can relate to this, when I was younger this was the same for me (and not limited to psilocybin). However the older I get, the more useful the 'revelations' (I rather call them insights) become. As in: I can actually use them to do

A couple of cherry picked examples also don't make them "bad" though. Not sure how cherry picked they are, but I seem to be able to counter all those points just from experiences on the machine I'm typing this on; 20% is

Same goes as for food: buy local, short supply chain etc. Meaning also not every single thing is available, but at least you know what you get and where you got it from. And obviously: depending on where you live there won't be any peo

Isn't this the case with any Python development in general? No this isn't generally true for Python, and I'm not sure why you'd be forced to use Cython for things at scale. Unless you have some particular type of softw

You sometimes see them going faster so you know they've been modded or aren't compliant. Well, except when going downhill. Or just because the cyclist puts some effort into it and rides faster, which isn't impossible at all
