I also never understood why people like blurry fonts so much. To me, win2k fonts were much better than the ones we have today. I guess it‘s because Apple did it.

The suspicion may also be induced by other software. Ever tried early RStudio (or even current) on a crappy work-issued laptop? And I don't mean R, I mean the UI elements. This is a great piece of software, certainly more than a text e

Seems to work alright here in Europe tho, even with scarcity. By the way, I find the notion comical that in a capitalist system, you are not compelled to labor for others. In practice, that is.

Long term effects may be much more serious than Flu, as this thing eats your lungs and possibly other organs. Just looking at IFR is not enough. We simply do not know yet whether it is a good idea to infect everyone. Why is everyone here a

The universe no. The universe is a cold, hard mf. But would it not be nice if it were society, us humans, who would provide the right to a safe job and dignified life?

We'd also want to compare apples with apples. The X200 (libreboot certified) has a maximum battery life (idle test) of 8,15 hours, while the past generation X1 has a battery life of over 24h in the same test. When it comes to normal (

really? Which laptops from 2010 have 13-15 hours of battery life? Which consumer/workstation computer from 2010 feature 32-64 cores? How much RAM could you put into such machines? etc.

Well it is a two-sided platform market that may very well be sustainable. However it is set up to extract rents from both consumers and drivers, which is a problem for the latter. In effect, it captures profits from transportation markets a

By the way, this is also the reason why things like UI design have gotten so bad: Most Machine Learning algorithms fit averages. Combine them, and you learn surprisingly little!

I do like the reliance on the high trust society in Sweden, but I also feel like a wider circle of experts could be consulted for such a decision. Even if it may not be a good model of human behavior, it's sometimes useful to consider

I'm glad you could use your talents to build what seems to be an exceptional life. In truth, I'd rather have you with more self-confidence and pride than less. Perhaps you'll find some less academic but skilled people to lear

This would be genuinely interesting to me, as I use cloud backup to store private, but not secret data. That is, I'm interested in not having my family photos and personal files mined. To make it useful, I'd also want the service

Don't apologize for sharing your thoughts. This is not a platform where people are easily offended or needlessly oppositional. You're not offending anyone, I think I speak for most people when I say we'd like you to be better

This is supposed to be helpful: First, it reads as if you are horribly insecure and / or lonely. Your need to signal superior intelligence to convince us of your self-worth is a sad state of mind, and, from my experience (I am also &qu

It feels like there are many unrelated terrible reasons for "UX" being a clusterfudge. "Webified" UX and "data-driven" UX are of course terrible. Data scientists in these fields don't come from the right b

The difference is more when it comes to precedence, which allows judges in Anglo-Saxon countries essentially to create law. Judges in France still need to interpret laws according to what they intended to do. There's then a majority an

Can someone tell me how this relates to the hype of, well it must be some decades back, chaos theory in dynamical systems? The idea then was the following: We do not need "randomness" and probability theory in our models, once we

Interestingly this mirrors other disciplines. Consider for example Schelling's model of segregation in social science, which is (probably not by accident) very similar to cellular automata. Just a few years laters, people quickly trans

Object oriented programming is an antipattern? Can you explain this? I am not a CS major, but I find using classes quite useful.

If you look at the case rates on the RKI tracker / GIS app, you can see that there is a weekly cycle. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/478220a4c454480e823... The peak of the last weekly cycle was April 2n

I disagree. If we can push the R0 low enough such that active case numbers decline to be less than a thousand, we can implement aggressive test/trace measures that would allow us to lift restrictions altogether, hopefully forever. We n
