Actually, paper orientation was a big help too. Used to tilt the sheet so you write almost bottom-to-top, that way you at least don't smuge the writing right away, and hopefully the ink dries quick enough for the next line

Always found that writing stuff down helps me to remember things better, whether studying something, prepping for an exam, or in general. Didn't even matter if I didn't look at those notes again, it just got "stored" bet

Interestingly, quite a few places that should treat query strings transparently make a lot of assumptions about their structure. We ran into that when picking a new CDN, some providers didn't handle repeat parameters (?a=1&a=2) cor

For completeness, there is also Peirce’s arrow aka NOR operation which is functionally complete. Fun applications iirc VMProtect copy protection system has an internal VM based on NOR. Quick google seach brings up https://github.

Big nod. I've been trying to register our company to sell customized products. It's been quite an ordeal with document rejections etc, and at the end they just said the rejection is final. No support, no appeals, no transparency.

Loved Borland IDE at the time. I still miss Ctrl-KB/KK (IIRC?) style selections from time to time. These days Far Manager (via far2l) or MC kind of scratch the itch for quick TUI edits.

Would be great if they provided at least some guidance how to keep this thing on topic. Even the official demo https://chatkit.world/ is not restricted, it happily chats about whatever.

I'm ok using a limited resource _if_ I know how much of it I am using. The lack of visible progress towards limits is annoying.

One problem I find is that a lot educational content has moved into YouTube and videos (monetization be damned). I have no time to watch 10mins of rambling and ads for a quick tip, LLMs are great at distilling the info. Otherwise, I agree,

Love that Thunderbird is moving forward. The UX work is great, and looks like they are finally getting to some more deeply buried issues too, like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479969 - my main reason why I c

I just wanted it to show a clock in a huge font so I could see when I needed to rush back into the "office" when taking a break or making coffee. Alexa Show became useless after a while because of all the non-disable content, and

It’s still quite monolithic. The issue is that it is a more complete engine than, let’s say Three, so the scene graph makes use of pretty much everything. Even you don’t use them, things like audio, webxr, node materials would get pulled in

I definitely consider NIME to be best BG album. They tried to replicate the same level of complexity in their follow up albums, but the sound engineering and mixing just never felt the same. NIME sounds crisp and clear and every after is to
