  • lol.

    To rile you up a bit, I wish I could say it is a subjective thing but 4:3 is the better option for laptops.

    More vertical screen estate, given one would mostly be doing their reading, writing and browsing – activities that are traditionally vertically oriented.

    Even most websites just centre their content and leave behind swathes of white/empty space on both sides.

    Anything beyond those activities, one should be using a bigger screen (desktop or a TV)^^^.

    Jokes(?) apart, Framework laptops are the best option for folks like us as it ticks the most boxes. But it is not available in the country where I live, and I don’t want to import it as it would be meaningless without its broader ecosystem. FWIW, I have dropped them emails every year requesting them to expand their presence in more countries.

    Till then, old ThinkPads. They are cheap, have enough spare parts on the market even after almost 2 decades, and even come with the kind of keyboards and screens that I like. :-)

    ^^^This, unlike the text above it, is a subjective thing

    I always wanted to use superscript, subscript and horizontal line. Thanks to you, I got to use 2/3. :-)

  • What's the worst theater experience you've ever had?

  • The comic, to me, could have ended on the second panel, and I would have been satisfied with that.

    Joker is a decent movie, but it could have been a standalone film. Why use the characters and setting from DC but not utilise them fully or even properly?

    It seemed like the film was ashamed to admit it was a comic book movie while also needing the DC label to survive the studio pitch and succeed at the box office.

    I regretted seeing the movie based solely on strong word of mouth, rather than doing my own research. But at least it made me avoid the sequel which, according to word of mouth, crashed and burned, taking the apparent love and reverence for the first instalment along with it.

  • I see a few comments about self hosting stuff to escape the clutches of big tech, and while all that is effective to a high degree, it is beyond the abilities of the general populace.

    Besides, I am also of the opinion that not everything has to be digital or smart.

    I relish writing and receiving letters, it is tangible and indicates commitment. Fortunately, postal system isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

    I like reading newspapers and it was sad to see all shops in my neighbourhood stop selling them during or after COVID. It was equally sad to see a lot of magazines not survive that period.

    I miss my old TV that was simpler to use and started quicker than my newer smart TV. It does not matter if I disconnect the latter from the internet, it takes its time to load up. Besides, I don’t see any perceivable difference in picture quality from the distance I watch from.

    Older laptops, though heavier, were more repairable. In certain aspects, they are better than modern ones: more tactile keyboard, nicer screen ratio (4:3). Of course, the newer laptops decimate the old ones when it comes to performance and screen quality but that is just technology progressing.

    I could keep going on with a plethora of product categories. But across all my points, I wish some companies could continue offering such products, at least to a customer base that is willing to pay more just to support the existence of those products.

  • A textbook would lose most of its credibility in my opinion with a title like “____ 4 ____”.

    The fact that it contains such wonderful takes on electricity is just icing on the cake.

  • This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?

    On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.

  • Having read the entire thread, I can only assume this to be sarcasm.

  • Fascinating. But isn’t this akin to stripes on a tiger or zebra, just visible in a different electromagnetic spectrum?

    Whereas bioluminescence involves producing/emitting light like fireflies.

  • How long have you been journaling for?

    Jump

  • I have been journaling since 2019. It was born out of the need to manage my tasks and thoughts at work. But then it was helpful enough to start doing it for all the aspects of my life.

    Started out with a simple notepad lying around at my office. Moved to Obsidian and now Emacs’ Org-Mode.

    But I still use a nice notebook for journaling when I am not around my machine or when I want to jot something urgently. I digitise it later, if necessary.

    In fact, I prefer using pen and paper over my machine (which has a very, very comfortable and enjoyable keyboard), as I find it more personal, private and deliberate.

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn't, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.

    It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.

  • A perfect origin story of a villain.

    Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.

  • I had not thought of this serving as an entry or a trial for new customers. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

  • I can rationalise holding off on buying a new phone or furniture until a sale. But for groceries?

    One either needs groceries or they do not.

    Perhaps, there are some categories of groceries that one may not buy unless there is a good occasion but might buy them if there is a good deal on it?

    Or maybe, one may buy the pricier variety like “organic” groceries during such sales?

  • The article indicates this was for their Prime Day event.

    Are people really waiting for an annual event to buy their groceries? Or are the Fresh delivery personnel reassigned to other verticals for the event's duration?

    Former is shocking and borderline dystopian. Latter is just poor planning and resourcing.
