Until you get a mandatory software update.

Agreed, and also most skeleton watches have the actual movement routed out to remove much of the material from bridges and plates, to expose as much gearing as possible.

Not personalized. Imagine TV that can be exactly tuned to every individual viewers' taste.

I'll never buy an Ubisoft game again. Instant dealbreaker to see that studio on the Steam store page; I've deleted a $3 sale game from my cart when I realized that it was Ubisoft. No game is worth giving money to a company that hates its customers so much.

Has every generation also seen the rise of massively-multiuser automated personalized propaganda engines?

DX7 is a great example of how new technologies can ruin a previously-great user experience. Going from cables and knobs and an "everything is visible at once" UX on analogs to a small LCD panel with data entry buttons was a huge regression.

This is really cool, I'm gonna try and implement it!

Not seeing a way to get the window currently under the mouse pointer, but this is pretty interesting - thanks!

Any sufficiently quantitative change becomes a qualitative change.

It can be implemented within apps, but not across apps afaict.

I've been searching for a sloppy-mouse-focus implementation for OSX for _years_. Pretty sure there's something fundamentally incompatible in how app windows are managed.

I'm glad to see someone tackling the problem head-on instead of just coming up with workarounds.

Thanks for your honesty there. Why do you do it, just the money? A cause you actually believe in?

In my opinion, the Lindy Effect[0] makes a lot of sense in scenarios like this. Personally, I love the fact that the slower evolution of command-line tools gives my personal skillset a longer shelf life. I can add additional capabilities without having to constantly re-learn how to do established work.

worse problems than it "solves".

I'm going to go out on a limb and hypothesize that you're not in a demographic that is likely to be victimized by deepfake porn of yourself.

Because it drives engagement.

Care to elaborate? Are you a rage farmer, or trying to mitigate them?

`ncdu` is the single best tool I've ever found for tracking down high-disk-usage directories deep in the filesystem. Run it with the `-x` flag to prevent it from crossing mounts.

The entire point of the article is that she no longer has to spend upwards of two hours a day using the notepad and pen.

That last sentence is a phenomenal explanation of why it can be harder for experts to teach a subject than non-experts.

I think if you can find a way to reconcile gravitas with quantum field theory, you're in for several igNobel prizes.

I believe one of the job interview problems at Mongo for software engineers, was to design a relational layer on top of the document store.

Garbage article, clickbait tile; they're talking about the Hubble tension, not any kind of anisotropy in the Hubble constant. The latter would be actual news.

Just once, I wish a journalist would ask for a clarification wrt absense of evidence. "Are you saying you don't know or have no way of knowing whether there was a data breach?"

Isn't most of his collection completely analog?

The accelerometer on my X finally started failing, making it impossible to hang up voice calls. It wouldn't turn the screen back on after I took the phone away from my face :-D

I replaced my iPhone X this year, with a 15 that I anticipate owning at least another 5-6 years.

I would estimate that U.S. soldiers, are enormously more disciplined on average than U.S. police. More training, stricter rules of engagement, more significant and immediate consequences for violating those rules, better discipline, tighter command structure. There's no comparison whatsoever.

It can't be serious. Soldiers have far stricter rules of engagement than police in the U.S., with significantly more penalties for violations.

Crap. Guess it's Microcenter.
