I wonder if an early built-in string class would have been 8-bit or 16-bit UCS-2? Would have been hard to stomach 16-bit storage and performance.

Yep, even more-so with a corner desk (L-shaped). Although there are times my work involves both papers and computer, and the quick swivel of a corner desk is great.

At my job, multiple people have vibe-coded bug-triage utilities. They're great for grouping duplicates.

But now we need an AI tool to consolidate the triage utilities.

Is it a hardware fix?

Or a software fix, but can't be done OTA?

Parent is using "backuped" to mean "likely in some cloud (latest version)". And that may explain why BB excludes .git folders.

You are using it to mean "maintaining full version history", I believe? Another important consideration.

What tools are needed to redo the anodized color? Is it doable at home?

My Cmd-TAB frustration is I'm usually moving the mouse while I press it, causing the mouse to select some unwanted app. It doesn't help that the row of apps forms a solid bar across the center of my display.

Wish I could ignore mouse movement when the app switcher is displayed.

Thanks, the previous title was easy to miss: "Veracrypt project update"

I enjoyed this movie:

Similar challenges, but attempts at natural solutions (not easy, so much complexity)

> I missed a screw and slightly cut my hand here too

After a nasty gash from a washing machine, which impacted my typing for a week, I got a pair of these:

Agree. Maybe just add a Disclaimer.md file.

Thanks Jacques. So creepage is when current flows/arcs across the surface of an insulator, vs through the air. And it's worse with DC due to its unidirectional nature. Worsens when pollution builds up, or the surface degrades.

> DC will creep much easier than AC

Can you say more about "creep"? Is the resistance changing? Or is material actually migrating?

Also curious why it's worse using DC.

Yes, it seems like UI designers only solve the basic use case: beginner user with 3 apps open on a 14" laptop, each full screen, or tiled side-by-side.

I imagine them presenting their design on a static PowerPoint slide, and upper-management says "beautiful", and they move on to CoPilot features, never looking back.

A "Blazer EV", right? Not to be confused with the same-named gas Blazer (built on a different chassis):

riclib, should that be 3 lines?
