Nothing on this site explains what exactly is "paperless debate."

Calendars are a prime example of Metcalf's Law. (The influence of a network is the square of the number of elements participating.)

https://hankehenryontime.com is another alternative calendar, but doesn't attempt to also "decimalize" time units shorter than the day.

Fantastic. I love that this is brand-independent, like buying a mechanical keyboard.

This is interesting... but I can't help but think how much better it might be if instead of a video background just had a simpler e-ink display for indicating what the transparent key caps were for. The animation/videos are very distracting.

I never liked the Apple TouchBar or anything that required "active" attention away from the main screen.

Even though it's obvious from the examples, SSG=Static Site Generator, for those who are unfamiliar with the acronym.

Could be 8-bit posits may be enough. Has that been done? At scale. I do not know.

I agree that trying to use hue for encoding magnatude information is not great, but man, how many times have I given up on someone's infographic that decided to use four different shades of blue and purple you can't tell apart when the markers are only eight or sixteen pixels on the screen.

I should hope the 12-bit rainbow palette would be adopted for those kinds of visualizations.

This isn't my experience with Co-pilot's suggestions. I've literally been able to have Co-pilot suggest a complete unit test based on a novel structure I hand-coded myself and a few words describing the unit test. The constants are often wrong, but it saves minutes of fidgeting with the syntax for unit tests and assertions.

These are not quotations from other people's code but something about the deep structures of language and programming language semantics. However, I suspect if you knew enough of a snippet from other source you could coax Co-pilot to suggest code learned from that source, but it would likely be washed over by other code in the corpus where it coincided with meanings.

When I was in school reading coaches encouraged the awareness of subvocalization (where you mimic the text as if you were speaking it, but not aloud). If you find yourself doing that while reading, stop/suppress that.

PureScript always sets the bar high for this in my mind, here's an example documentation page: https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-effect/4....

Oddly enough, the first time I ever had gummy bears was at the Smithsonian.

SEIKO Vision by their website does not appear to be available in the United States (no providers are listed in their directory)-- do you happen to know anything equivalent available there?

Bluetooth audio is a burning dumpster of monkeypoxed clown corpses.

I have two sets of BT headphones, and I avoid using them b/c of the unpredictable pairing behaviors.

It needs to be replaced with something dedicated to audio-- because I think the attempt at generality (object data transfers, mice, keyboards, etc.) and backward compatibility has made for a standard that isn't capable in a multi-device world. When buying hardware, I look at Bluetooth as a feature, but at best, just for input devices. Audio is a lost cause.

Also interesting, is a "fasting-mimicking diet" that is low in methionine:

Usable in direct sunlight?

When will this product ship?

This is pretty much why 1/5 of packages I'm getting via FedEx Ground are smashed or damaged. They aren't even supposed to be "overnight" and mishandling is rife.

I'll propose that it could be the glyph to represent "cutting corners":

> To skip certain steps in order to do something as easily or cheaply as possible, usually to the detriment of the finished product or end result.

If anything it should be the "red herring" password that locks the account if retried too many times.

I got curious about this and found https://github.com/danr/kakoune-easymotion which I'm going to give a try.

I haven't tried helix in a while, sometimes they have chosen not-quite default-kakoune like bindings which trips me up for certain kinds of selections.
