I like folding phones that go from half to full size. Fits in my pocket and I still get a big screen when I want.

This misses the point. The individual health risk might be low, the societal response to the risk might severely impact your life regardless of your personal risk exposure.

To tire a comparison to human thinking, you can conceive of it as hallucinations too, we just have another layer behind the hallucinations that evaluates each one and tries to integrate them with what we believe to be true. You can observe

The new Android foldables with edge-to-edge outer front screen are bearable, but then again you're paying flagship prices just so your phone fits into your pocket.

If the Elf can give themselves infinite life in response to the infinite damage, then they have essentially won, because however much damage the Goblin would deal, they can just go "OK, but before that damage applies I give myself enou

That really depends on what you're doing with the device I guess. For gaming, controllers will remain indispensable, and you're planning to disconnect from the real world for a while anyways. For everything else, quickly being abl

On the contrary, I think the passthrough will be one of the defining differences to other headsets for the time being. Not having anything to hold in your hand while you go ahead and do non-VR things in your real environment adds a layer of

The average individual contributor in a big company is not able to meaningfully influence whether they produce value or not. They might be stuck in a team or even department with an agenda that produces little value, with no opportunities t

C# is quite popular in game dev circles because of the ubiquity of the Unity engine which uses it as its scripting language.

Have you used the later versions of WSL (WSL 2 under Windows 11)? You have seamless bidirectional file system access, GUI applications that mesh with the rest of the desktop, can use Windows Terminal and have other tabs with PowerShell open

I admire your bravery for even trying to tackle this. Your rant about Emacs spoke to my soul. It's such a pain to use, but nothing else even comes close to playing the same game. I've been mulling over similar thoughts for years a

To know the magnitude of the most significant digit, you have to scan the whole number anyways. Looking for this info at the end of the number would be just as natural if you were used to it.

Basic goods demand is fairly stable. Poor people will always need to pay for food, shelter, etc. Just with basic income, they won’t have to worry about how they’re going to scrape together the money next month for the rest of their lives. T

There were a lot of complaints about UAT when it was first introduced, claiming it was too confusing for casual users. It was a factor in the huge unpopularity of Vista.

The matter is more simple, Facebook users are not Facebook customers, hence no customer support. Same story with free Google accounts.

I like https://www.codingame.com/ It has a very playful presentation and progress system, the challenges are nice and the solution steps usually can be visualized well. Also supports a lot of languages.

It depends on what you mean by purely functional, the lambda calculus certainly doesn't require stack frames. Even better, you can implement any programming language without a stack. Stack frames are only a convenience feature for pr

The most popular prebuilt machine learning framework, TensorFlow, has a Python API. This has helped its popularity in the area of data science where it was already big before thanks to iPython (now Jupyter)

Interesting musings. I think the author dismissed graphs a bit too early. Making lists another first-class object (e.g. by always having nodes be lists) might be a bit less elegant but would work for his constraints. The data structure he d

Yes, playlists are really broken on Apple Music. If you remove an album from your library, its titles will be removed from all of your playlists too. The song ordering is also not consistent between the mobile app and desktop iTunes.

This is a great point. Maybe there is a moral argument to be made here that we shouldn't punish people for actions they could not have prevented (since they don't have free will), but I see, my implicit assumption that transgressi

Not necessarily, there could still be effects of true randomness that are not influenced by previous causes.

The experience of free will can be real, without free will being real. An individual believing it has free will, will certainly act different to an individual that believes all actions are predetermined. I think what your parent commenter m

You mean notebook-style programming environments like Jupyter? They have kernels for a lot of languages. I think Emacs' org-mode can execute code embedded within the document as well. The concept you're thinking of is called Liter
