My primary issue with the TouchBar, losing the F keys was a concern but lot my primary one, was that it required me to look at it to use it. With keys you can feel them, and learn their place. But, the TouchBar had me looking at it and not

This seems like it’s conflating problems. It’s actually two different problems: 1. Is the PR suitable, and therefore should be approved, and 2. Is this person suitable to make that decision. If 2 is false then the person should remove thems

Yeah, I was also under the impression helium was in very short supply. The article doesn’t mention that, at all. But it does say the unit is quiet because it operates at a constant frequency, so they can use noise cancellation very effecti

Err... yeah, because that's what USA based companies are known for - PII protection and data privacy?!? Maybe there is some more complexity to this argument, that I'm missing. But, it's not one that has merit without justific

I had the exact same thoughts. But, also, why is it a good thing that risk is passed down to the users of the currency? In the regular system risk is passed upward to regular bank you deal with, then upward to the government bank. The frust

There's two images where the face is transferred to the final image. The references images with blurred faces are all being used for a different reference; the pose, or "necklace", etc. The faces are blurred in every image un

There is a similar option in iOS, where you give an app access to select items only.

As a less confrontational reply: from my point of view “unwanted fly tipping” is talking about rubbish. The concept of depositing unwanted, yet usable, not rubbish, things somewhere is not something that would happen (outside of the rather

Challenge accepted - “scon” is the only way! Why? Absolutely no logical reason, but it is, how it is.

The sound of the word just seems to capture the action, or lack of action, so well.

I don’t think Aus/NZ would use it in this manner. It would be more likely to see “no dumping”.

by rprwhite 2y ago
Dump and tip have different connotations. The tip is where one deposits refuse/rubbish. Whilst a dump and is a pile/collection of unwanted things, not necessarily rubbish. It’s a small but often important distinction.

I think this might be right up your alley, along with some of the children comments: https://rive.app It’s pretty much modern Macromedia Flash. Except a JS runtime, rather than plugin.

The ascorbic acid in lemon juice is doing the work here. If you’d like read up on the science as to why it works the terms you need are polyphenol oxidase, which are the enzymes primarily responsible for browning in fruit and veg. Then also

This sentiment has been repeated in a few comments. But, why can’t the deno deploy implementation be reimplemented, by yourself, by running a foundationDB server with mvSQLite[1]? That shouldn’t require any changes to the code. [1] https:&

This is a great anecdote for the need of intent. But, you also need context. Without either of those it’s very, very hard to agree on rules. And agreeing on either context or intent, let alone both, in a small community is hard. Doing so ac

But… all of the things you mention, like much in life, are susceptible to misinterpretation. Do you know, or does it just appear that way to the best of your knowledge. The black/blue, or white/gold, dress is a good example of see

I think Murdoch is an excellent example to compare against Musk, right now. Not because he’s an exemplar of the non-interventionist, but because he’s all business. He will buy businesses, that are profitable, that present ideas against his

I found it the exact opposite - I very nearly never touched it. My problem with it was you need to look at it to interact with it, which meant you weren’t looking at the screen. It felt like someone designed it and said “but that won’t be a

This seems bizarre to me. Under what context would would it be legitimate for any of those things to occur? A pay raise maybe. But, why would someone (crucial part, here, being someone you don’t know) be negotiating it for you?

This is a bit of a false dichotomy. A choice can be made to remove something, seen to be, having a negative impact on people without having to remove everything that is seen to have such an impact. One step in the right direction is still a

I feel these are preferences, that you don’t like - which is perfectly valid. Except “Save As…”, it’s not intuitive. The wording implies renaming the existing file. The actual action is more accurately worded “Save a copy as…”, or more suc

Argon is better at reducing oxygen ingress in the short term, less than 2 weeks. But only strictly as a measure of dO2, sensorily a panel of experts were unable to determine the difference. So I would choose whichever is cheaper.

Wine is a very reactive environment for oxygen. So oxygen will definitely be the limiting factor, because all the chemical reactions have been starved of oxygen (if you’re interested lookup the Fenton reaction). Of course, it’s not always t
