This bit reminds me of TRON/BTRON, a Japanese OS where a core principle was that users interacted with documents made of fragments which were documents themselves.
"The file and the application were implementation details […] the user-visible primitive on a desktop computer shouldn't be a file or the application, but the typed document part."

I don't understand the mention about battery capacity (80 kWh, which would translate to around 7½ hours of charging at 11 kW, if a battery could charge at a uniform rate) or where the "9 kW lost" figure comes from.
*Which is probably useful to melt snow above the device, when installed outdoors on cold climates.
The inner lanes are only for overtaking.
For example, refuse to present anything unless at least three members of the audience agree to share their feedback in the session.
Or alternatively, include in your presentation direct questions to specific members of the audience (either pre-arranged, or spontaneous).
80% of buyers of anything simply smash "Accept" (and watch through ads/spam) until their device shows the content they wanted to access. (Statistic is made up, but I think it's hard to refute.)
Do you call that "explicit consent"?
Seems to be in contradiction.
Unless they actually meant Colombia. But peer review would certainly catch that.
Both X Corp. and Bluebird have asked to go to court on Nov 2027.
You can interact with it via raw TCP, raw UDP, HTTP, email, ssh, ping payload, ping cadence (Morse-style), DNS, or even raw printer commands.
Well, in the day to day use of computers across everyone I interact with, the following problems are very much present and still unsolved (savvy users can address them and transform them into chores; non-savvy users solve some of them by paying money to pospone the issues):
- I don't have any space left on my phone but my laptop has tons of space available. (Addressed by Xanadu principle 13.)
- How do I back up my stuff uniformly across my devices. (Addressed by Xanadu principle 14.)
- How do I share this file with a relative. (Addressed by Xanadu principles 2+4+10+11+12.)
- How do I not get trapped by vendors who want to lock me into their cloud solution. (Addressed by Xanadu principles 1, 2, 3, 15, 17.)
So the problems are very much there, and not improving. If anything, Xanadu was a prescient solution that addressed back them the problems we have today.
> if a link is focused, Enter activates it, Space doesn’t
It seems that you answered your own question: different keys, different purposes.
Enter is for "execute the focused action". Spacebar is for "operate the button".
Qt: Esc cancels. Tab cancels.
Gtk-4: Spacebar auto-clicks before keyup (probably due to auto-repeat).
Win32: Esc sends Esc to the window. Tab cancels.
Firefox: Esc does nothing. Tab cancels.
So, mileage does vary.
Re. Enter key, that's a different key, so different discussion.
These two interactions should behave identically:
- Hover over a button, press mouse button 1, release button 1.
- Tab over to a button, press spacebar, release spacebar.
Why on-screen buttons are UX'd to behave this way is a logical follow-up question. I'd wager that it gives a means to bail out of the clicking (e.g. by moving the mouse out of the on-screen button before releasing mousebutton 1, or by pressing Esc while having spacebar still depressed).
- Spreadsheet-like stuff: arrows, PgDn, PgUp, Home, End, … move inside of it.
- Tab to move across fields.
- Left-to-right, top-to-bottom focus.
- Space to toggle togglable stuff.
- Alt-Down Arrow to deploy drop-down stuff.
- Arrows to move around.
- Enter/Esc to accept/discard a modal.
Or maybe I misunderstand the things you call "mouse things".
You could compromise on not-shipping-before-it's-ready.
They are building computer programs that other people can use to then post online maps from old paper sources. For example, from the Sanborn map collection.
Those maps can be browsed as "overlays" on top of other maps, so you can easily compare how several maps show the same places on Earth.
I even suspect that I received sub-par service from some of them, who may have identified me as a "no-tip risk" from the first moment.
I was 8 or 9 years old when the ZX Spectrum +2 arrived home.
I'm seriously considering installing this on an old laptop and giving it to my son when he's 8 years old, together with a hard-copy of a BASIC reference and a few simple programs and games to type in.
Getting a FAT32 filesystem on day 1 is already a huge jump from my childhood experience (loading from tape).
