   I have a 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro that I use every day, and I don't hear the fans...at least not yet. I wonder how my situation differs from Christian's.

    This isn't the most important reason, but compared to similar web sites, Mastodon's user experience is awkward.

    I didn't know about this one, thank you for posting. Also, on most windows, you can option-click the green window bar button and get this same behavior. However, some apps, like Safari, will instead expand the window to "a reasona

    I have zero tolerance for wasting time watching long YouTube videos and I didn't think I had any interest in historical ship construction, and yet I couldn't stop watching all 40 minutes of this. Amazing.

    I'd like to submit my blog, but I can't. The "Submit your blog or podcast" button at the top of the page takes me to an advertisement for an unrelated website.

    TL;DR: Bjarne Stroustrup is frustrated that the authors of the government's proposal don't realize that, theoretically, there may exist teams of talented developers who are able to consistently write safe C++ code.

    This makes sense though, because in Swedish, the words for restore and destroy are homonyms.

    I rewatched it recently and I had forgotten how fast everything goes wrong. One of my favorite films.

    Random thought. Are you taking into account relativistic effects? What is your velocity relative to the Earth's inertial frame?

    It's disturbing to me that I remembered this, but the IBM Pascal Compiler for DOS (1981) had two passes. https://winworldpc.com/product/ibm-pascal-compiler/100

    I think there's a similar story for the HDTV 16:9 aspect ratio.

    Please use this approach for something more constructive, like designing an FTL drive.

    I'm proposing why Wörd might have been rejected, not suggesting that the App Store review process is perfectly consistent. The App Store reviewers are people, and some of them follow the rules more strictly than others. Perhaps Wurdle

    Apologies, I didn't mean to suggest that the two concepts are related. For SR, I'm looking for an answer to "why?" that only has same satisfying flavor as the sphere question. I want the same "aha!" feeling. Fo

    @fferen Thank you for sharing your work. This is an excellent resource. If you don’t mind, I have a question. If I drive in a straight line on the Earth’s surface without stopping and I ignore mountains and oceans and other obstacles, then
