Love their trackpads. But their mice... not so much. I have a tiny travel mouse that has 4 buttons, scroll mouse and much better acceleration and surface detection and was bought for likely half the price. That travel mouse is deadly in gam

I think we learn more about the assumptions of the complainer rather than who wrote the "witty reply". That and the spoiler can be applied to any number of people in government agencies who are meant to be taking precautions and s

Well, I could go on a rant around their purpose and some of us would ultimately decide these files like so many others are actually just debris. Instead I will say we can have a set of critters that cull them in various interesting ways.

Draconian/authoritarian responses are becoming more common online. Offline in meatspace people are also becoming more guarded and wanting bans for all sorts of slights. These are not good signs for society in general.

These tools are worthwhile additions. Vscode is a important toolkit item for many. Just having it on multiple platforms is a useful common denominator that reduces friction.

Medium is a bit backwards. Their intention is to clean up commenting but all it really does is raise the bar of entry such that people often don't even bother regardless of intent. A lot of medium posts/articles that should have o

The problem with Jones is that he is like a Wheel of fortune. He mixes truth and half truth and everything else. Spin the wheel, reveal a truth, whether its true, nobody knows. Then there's his previous(?) suboptimal opinion on Sandy

HDMI learnt nothing from the old db connectors like VGA. Try it with HDMI when the cable has to go in but you can't see the port. Get gud as they say.

You forgot to mention IEEE 488 which was both a great thing and the cause of many failed experiments. But I digress. Yeah I saw all those and a lot of others you didn't mention. Remember DIN connectors? They were nicely round, dimpled

Both of those came after USB 1, yes? So they would have that history behind them. A precursor can't be criticised for laying the foundation for better descendants. Later usb dont have that defense. Those micro usb abominations have n

Considering plenty of chemistry can melt your face off or dissolve your lungs or otherwise make you disappear I'm happy that chemists have the sense to invoke formality and protocol in how they proceed. I'm guessing the better spe

Not just (North?) Americans. Health insurance in general is overpriced due to multiple market distortions. Governments don't seem to want or, more likely, be able to fix this in a systemic way. So many vested interests.
