France has a notoriously complex taxation system and yet somehow manages to pre-file it for almost everybody.

I'd hasard a guess that the problem is not that you can't perfectly reproduce a sound of an instrument being played. However when you simulate it using samples you reduce the sound to a sum of independent recordings, whereas a rea

A lot of people don't see past attachment to Soviet Union as positive. So I doubt this would have much usage except for fun.

Font is very small, I need to blow it to 300% to be able to read it without squinting. Black on white is also quite blinding and very uncomfortable when scrolling. Edit: I thing thought that Apple is to blame here by setting the defaults to

I’m so glad that reader mode exists to make it at all readable on mobile. That said, such design is perfect for precisely this kind of customisability.

Thanks! I'll need to train myself to use this, it's super cool to learn a new trick like that.

While I agree in principle, I don't think these three sites in particular are good examples against scores. If you completely ignore the scores, just using these three sites "correctly" will naturally increase your karma. I s

The radio and checkboxes are weird. Radio buttons seem intuitively inverted (empty circle is the selected one). Where as on checkboxes I think the filled square means checked but I can't say because of the weird radio buttons.

Bad choice of words, sorry. What I mean is that they have removed what was making them different from most other mechanical keyboards out there.

Note that Das Keyboard switch quality was ruined with version 3, when they done away with variable actuating strength. I was sad when my version 2 died.

And yet I can find toilets easily in any country with a simple logo but have to hunt for them if they are spelled out. Images are wonderful if you don't live in a bubble where everybody speaks the same language.

I'm no economist, and I didn't want to imply efficient market. More of a guesswork: there are a lot of those games out, some successful, some failed. They usually require quite some involvement to play at good level so I suppose p

Problem is that the author starts with a false premise. There are as many games having complex geopolitical models underneath as the market can support. Turns out the author either does not know them, or they don't explicitly mention h

Graph annotations matter a lot for diffing I think. I think this is actually a good space to explore as it is a hard problem, and would require some serious UX research on how to handle this. I feel that the one-dimensionality of text makes

It was OpenViBE, but looking at GNURadio it looks fairly similar so I expect limitations would be also quite comparable.

If I recall correctly it was not the armed civilians that disembarked in Normandy.

There are a lot of countries where the populace isn't generally armed and they are doing just fine. It's not like America is the only free country out there.

One thing that comes to mind is that as a developer you don't have to pollute your main partition with a beta if you can install it on an external drive.
