"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • Yeah, almost as long as AV1, depending upon settings.

  • List of Plaintiffs, from the filing document:

    UMG RECORDINGS, INC., CAPITOL RECORDS, LLC, CONCORD BICYCLE ASSETS, LLC, CMGI RECORDED MUSIC ASSETS LLC, SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, and ARISTA MUSIC

    Perhaps also add a list of all the works that they mentioned during the lawsuit?

  • That's only going to affect me if I am reading something particularly boring and don't really want to read it.But if that were the case, I wouldn't be reading it in the first place.

    I don't feel the need to rid myself of distractions, because when I am not in the mood to read a book, I don't read it.

    Also, this "distracted by functionality" logic is what parents seem to use to get rid of stuff with a screen.I can say for sure, that people being loud in another room is a much bigger distraction.If your OS is distracting you, you have installed the wrong one.

  • I really like being able to Ctrl+F through my book.But there just seems to be some kind of feel to flipping a page that makes me feel more focussed.

  • To advertising companies, maybe yes.But to the ones making the advertisement, we are the wall between them and their money, which just needs to be gotten out of the way.

  • Yeah, when I first got a link to a whitepaper in the newsletter, I expected it to be a... a whitepaper (I read the meaning it had back then).After reading it properly, as if I would an academic paper, I thought it was weird that I didn't feel like I learnt anything useful.

    It would take a while (and a few other whitepapers) for me to realise what it had become.

  • Guess that's why the big guys want people to be neurotypical.To make it easier to sell them stuff.

  • How do you discreetly look at your phone during work?

    Jump

  • The calls are good. You want those.

    Of course I do. That's what gets me paid, nowadays.The only difference being that I did put the effort to make others understand my work (and more than how much I needed to).It's just that they still find it much more convenient to call me, get me to do the work and then copy it all into their project (which would then require changes), rather making the whole algorithm themselves.

  • Well, the main reason I do it every time is because I'm just too lazy to setup pinentry.But yeah, for the Bluetooth keyboard, I realise I better get off it.

  • Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase

  • Hmm, I don't know how many people they were serving,but with $5k a month, I think I could buy enough hardware to increase concurrent user count by at least 500 every month. And that is including the internet and cooling bill.

  • and I’m not going out of my way to teach the users any more than they absolutely need

    Interestingly, I did go out of my way to explain to others how made my code and what though processes went into some of the design decisions I made. I even wrote it all down into 3+ .md files and served them on the local network for everyone to read.

    Guess what?I'm still called when big changes need to be made, or when some behaviour needs to be explained.And I get paid by the hour, instead of having to do 45hr/week in the office.

  • in a lot of the screens you can even read the panel changing itself

    I thought that stuff went away with CRTs.But I guess that makes sense. We could hear CRTs with out ears, now we just need more sensitive equipment.

    Wow! Was that stuff even EMCD compliant?

  • I see they really wanted to fit the acronym to RAMBO, lol.But it makes sense. Considering, we keep out mobile phones in around a metre's reach, it would be trivial to just get that information just from key sounds. Guess I better get one of those high frequency faraday cages, huh?
