IMO, in person it's much nicer on the ears than the old single-tone beep that they used to have. It's less jarring and easier to locate where the noise is coming from, ye olde beep seemed to come from everywhere at once.

anyone else experiencing the slowdown?

Amazfit watch gives a "score" that can be seen on device screen, in addition to the total hours and and breakdown per awake / REM / deep / light time.

TFA says the task could be procrastination too

> And don't forget that it could be "take a nap"!

And JS can detect that and send it back to the server.

I thought that it's hard to radiate-away heat in vacuum?

Seems that the World Map is "fixed" and does not rotate to keep it aligned with the hands (expectation is that New York hand should roughly point to New York on the map)?

Submitted lino includes hardcoded location, maybe that's what's tripping people up?

Presumably when inhaled, since the lawsuit talks about talc containing asbestos.

Better translated as "Professor Fortran's Encyclopedia"?

Highly recommend you look into keyboards that have "Enter" and "Backspace" reachable by thumb/index fingers. I've been dailying a TECK for nearly a decade, and it's helped immensely with RSI.

Their new Clevo keyboard is a bit different, so can't vouch for it, but my SO likes it so far as first foray into ergo keyboards: https://trulyergonomic.com/

I don't know how reliable that Canadian towers site is, it shows seemingly ridiculous number of towers in some suburban blocks?

Spinalis looks to be similar idea, available in Canada. I had a lot of lower back pain that went away shortly after I started using it.

Last time I used Qt, it had classes to abstract hardware.

Stuff like QSerialPort worked fine across platforms for my usage. YMMV

Kind of funny that we trust Google's index of the whole www to take us to manufacturer's legitimate website, but don't trust Apple's own search of their curated store.

From Wikipedia you linked:

> There are recurring tales of sailors being pressed after a shilling was slipped into their drink, leading to glass-bottomed tankards. However, this is likely to be a myth, for the Navy could press by force, rendering deception unnecessary.

Article comments on this nearly immediately:

> even if “animals” is a bit of a loose term that encompasses “Catholic Priests” (Ethics of Big Data) or “Soldiers or rangers, with rifles” (SELinux).

Certainly evokes a lot of nostalgia. The tactile feel of 3D buttons can be mesmerizing at times, a lot of experience has been lost in the race to flat, in addition to lowered affordability of modern UIs.

One bug: Firefox on Linux introduces an extra dotted rectangle on focused buttons (so they end up with two oddly overlapping focus indicators)

We are using Continix[0] to package up regular NixOS modules in docker

One could argue that if you are about to majorly break back compat, that you should just rename your project. Even calling it `foo2` is better than pretending it's `foo 2.0`. It may slow adoption of your new work, but at least it's staying honest.

Perl6 allows it, and it's the preferred convention to boot.

Too bad it's not package.yaml or package.js so that we can include comments and document our dependencies....

Definitely at the very least ICQ had it - remember freaking out friends by replying to their questions before they even clicked send. This was late 90s...

Another option is Sqitch. It's database and framework agnostic.

Chances are you will end up downloading a lot of dependencies anyways, why not have git deliver it all?

Instead of "ad hoc", think of it as a multi-paradigm language.

From that viewpoint, I think there is a fair bit of beauty in being able to pick and choose your approach based on the problem at hand without worrying if that is an idiomatic choice dictated by language designers. P6 goes to great lengths to give you all the expressiveness you could hope for, regardless if you are doing functional, OOP, or dealing with concurrency etc...

Navigation of the select box would be improved if "/r/" prefix was stripped from every item. Ex, I clicked on select box and start typing "cable" expecting for it to navigate to one of those entries, but it just hung on the first item. Alternatively, can use some fancy select component with search function, like Chosen etc.

iPhones of similar vintage* (1, 3G, 3GS) looked somewhat similar IMO.

(* Technically I guess it's the iPhone 4 that came out same year as Defy, but arguably close enough)

Windows 98 you could also bypass Novell NetWare login by clicking 'Help' and then finding a File Open dialog in there
