You seem to be saying contradictory things. You're saying it's not a good incentive, but you're also saying Apple should have added it already. Why should they have already added it if it's not a good incentive? Why shou

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. And I'll admit that there's chance I'd notice what you're talking about if I saw/used it in person instead of relying on promotional photos.

I don't think I agree that anything's cramped in the photo you linked to. If you were attempting to point out down at the bottom where it says "Size" that's not a fixed control. That's a webpage, and that'

The corners aren't rounded enough to impact those things though.

So what are you saying? Because there are cheaper earbuds made by someone else with this feature, Apple _shouldn't_ add it to their earbuds? I'm not sure why that would be the case.

Why is that area non-trivial? Do you use anything that has important content in the very corners? I've never seen anything that has important content in the areas this cuts off. I'm really curious about your use of corners!

Ignoring your other criticism and focusing just on one: How do you justify your claim that it arrived too late? What have people moved onto past foldable phones, in your view?

In case you haven't seen it, Imitone's patent is US20170098112A1 ( https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170098112A1/en ). This one's from 2017 and is still active, and it's for a periodicity ana

The raid being due solely to music copyright infringement is really the most likely situation. There's no need to imply it was anything else. For example, in 2009 I worked at a record store that got raided due to such claims. The RIAA&

Surely there must be more to it than that? At least some sort of connotation that "soul" lacks? Otherwise why use "sovl" instead of "soul"?

Was it even possible to register just a second level .name domain name? It sounds like it wasn't, so therefore no one would be using john-doe.name and there'd be no ambiguity.

Because this is a discussion about tutorials and on-ramps to new players, and their necessity in games, specifically in Dwarf Fortress.

Regardless of the difference in complexity, I think the fact that it became the bestselling videogame of all time despite the fact that it essentially "has no tutorial to speak of, no on-ramps for new players" makes it a valid exa

by joemi 13d ago
Even though I'm a big fan of the game and have been playing it for over a decade now, "fun and engaging from minute zero" is not how I'd describe it. I've seen a number of people (both kids and adults) become frustr

Minecraft was very fun and was selling like hotcakes when it had "no tutorial to speak of, no on-ramps for new players". Even nowadays there's no tutorial as far as I know and much of how to play is left to discovery. The ach

I think the fact that "thick" can mean "dim-witted" is proof that the author did not in fact choose their words carefully.

by joemi 27d ago
"Thick" already has a meaning of "dimwitted" so it's a particularly strange choice of word in this context. Is this something this new use of "thick" as a synonym for "deep" something this author

I think you're both saying the same thing: the digitization of the article wouldn't have been the source, since 彁 would have had to exist before the digitization happened in order for the OCR to misread 彊 as 彁.

If photo quality is the only concern, a DSLR camera will take a better picture than a modern phone, so you shouldn't use a phone either. But the person you're replying to didn't say it was "better", they said "

I assumed that the fact the blog post verified the legitimacy was implied, or that people would look at it before commenting if they didn't think it was implied. My bad.

I mentioned it because the blog post itself links back to cloudflare.pay. Of course just linking to a blog post is useless.

by joemi 1mo ago
It looks like they've updated the cloudflare.pay site to link to the blog post on cloudflare.com that introduces wallets. So they fixed it on the same day they launched. That's not too bad, in my book.

No-man's-lands exist (a very obvious one is the DMZ between North Korea and South Korea), but I believe the specific point was that no-man's-lands don't exist at the US borders.

I'm not the person you asked, but I don't think where it is matters as much as where it isn't. It isn't at Apples headquarters.
