I felt sorry for the one that nearly drowned in the recent LA rains

I mean, most objects are not human.

“Our Pixel range has a fast easy-to-find fingerprint reader on the back. It’s possible to unlock the phone as you’re removing it from your pocket without even trying. How can we improve that?”

“How about we hide a slow, unreliable one somewhere under the screen. You can’t feel or see where it is. When you do find the right spot, it’ll illuminate your finger with the light of a thousand suns. Then, it might unlock the phone, if you’re lucky.”

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?

If you wait long enough you can sometimes win the battle is wills and it goes out, meaning that the problem has fixed itself. Or that the bulb also now needs repairing.

Corridor Digital mentioned them recently in one of their videos and had a 5-minute conversion on what the correct term was before finding that Wikipedia page.

I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)

I’m not typing all that in. No wonder emacs users are angry all the time.

I pressed 6 while holding shift, then x. But it just typed ^x in my file.

I was in one of 6 rooms off a corridor, each room holding two desks (well, one room was storage). As people left, I was the only one left in those rooms, so I used to think of it as “my wing of the building”.

“Future father” at age 22 is a strange achievement.

Music went through this many years ago.

iTunes would have drm’d music files. Amazon too, I think.

Then at some point it all became sane and I could buy an MP3 and download it.

Okay then, how about doors? https://lizengland.com/blog/the-door-problem/

Maybe they are making it harder for us to get ram just to prevent us from running llms on our own hardware.

And why isn’t “raccoon” “wash-bear”?

But there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.

Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.

I don’t know, this is a step too far.

It’s like a parakeet, I think.
