Not technically "Accessibility" but Android has a "developer" setting called "Show Touches" which puts little dots on screen when you touch it. I find it acts a little like being able to see the cursor on a des

Isn't it possible for creators to release on YouTube some time after the Nebula release? I know of a couple channels that do that, though it seems like there's a requirement to add a little extra bit on the end for the Nebula side

Why would AI make these age worse than, say, libraries or languages becoming obsolete? I don't think a good learning resource gets worse just because there's a newer alternative.

Kobo store is convenient but feels pricey sometimes (I don't have experience with the Kindle store). I don't mind paying them though, because it's still easy enough to strip the DRM and make backup copies of my books. If th

It's been quite a while, but IIRC, in Java these statements actually do have a defined behavior. The ++x is a "pre-increment", meaning the value of the variable is incremented prior to evaluating the expression, while the &

For the OG controller on Linux, it was/is possible to use third-party open source software like "sc-controller" to map the pads and rebind things the way Steam does, without needing Steam running. I don't have any reason

I landed on Inconsolata, which makes sense as it's directly inspired by Consolas. I already use Inconsolata most places, since I'm not usually on Windows.

The argument that can be made is that we never would've gotten PipeWire without going through PulseAudio first.

Is it possible that the iPhone filters are weaker due to FaceID requirements? I seem to recall that FaceID (and similar systems, like Windows Hello) depend on IR to get a more 3D map of the face, so it'd make sense that they want to b

Allowing the owner of the device root access doesn't necessarily break the security model. It just means that the user can grant additional privileges to specific apps the owner has decided to trust. Every other app still has to

I've had this happen a handful of times with my Frame TV and Steam Deck, though it's inconsistent for some reason. It's pretty cool when it works. The Deck can pretty consistently turn the TV on from standby(/picture mo

Hey, I've also used and loved Orpie! I'm not extremely familiar with any of the ML family, but Eric Lippert had a blog series I followed for a while in which he was writing a Z-Machine in OCaml: https://ericlippert.com&

Yes, the OpenAI Five bots won a best of three in their custom format, back in 2019. The bots won the first two games, then a third game was played which the humans won, which is the point I was trying to make (I'm not the GP). Unless

I'm pretty sure that AI did take at least a few games off of the pros. IIRC the professional team only had one win, the last match. I do agree that the game was terribly dumbed down to make it tractable. I keep hoping they'll re
