A steel door is certainly harder than my skin and also certainly can't be used to "bite" me or puncture my skin (save for crushing it given enough force)

After getting a hankering for more Culture books, I recently started going through his other fiction and they're all really fun and scratch a similar itch. I read Feersum Endjinn and The Algebraist, and I'm most of the way through Against a Dark Background now, and they're all great (and quite different from The Culture and each other)

Regardless of other ongoing work, title seems inaccurate? Doesn't sound like fable did any porting to macos

Funny that he misspelled one (derinku_y_u, literally meaning deep well), given all the effort that clearly went into it.

Practice mode also has a popup telling you what to do which seems to negate the point of the game?

Why does a silly little online game need my email to send a one-time login code? What a strange experience

Not sure how this counts as "trying to launch cursor" 8 times when 4 of them seem to be just blog posts with not very descriptive titles and 2 are about some AI email companion, and of the remaining two, one seems to be a tweet

> Approximately nobody is throwing away phones because the OEM stopped providing security patches. They're doing it for more practical reasons, like the phone getting slow, the battery wearing out, or wanting a better camera.

I did this just last year because my Pixel 4a stopped getting security updates and some app I needed to use for work (I think Duo?) refused to install or run because of it. The phone was otherwise running perfectly fine and I had no reason to change it. I'm on a Pixel 8 now which is supposed to have 7 years of security updates, and I don't see myself replacing it until then.

Can you give examples of these alternatives?

This is actually brilliant and going in my list of weekend projects I'll probably never have time for

I'm learning a bit of CAD currently (mostly for 3d printing) and I've been using onshape. It seems pretty powerful so far and I've not found anything I can't do with it. Can you elaborate a bit on what I'm missing from more advanced desktop CAD applications?

Beginning of the 3rd paragraph agrees with you:

> But while the length of the newly designed path is easily measurable, the coastline that it follows is not.

Yep. Cat, find, git, date, gimp, gnu. All very distinctive, easy to search for
