"work harder!" shouted the overseer

Should be required reading.

The article should be titled "Life Before the Invention of CAD." There were lots of CAD applications before AutoCAD, and plenty since, as well.

My experience largely mirrors the OP's. I find reading and writing in darkness to be very pleasant with the new backlight, but YMMV. Lack of backwards compatibility with my existing RM2 styli is somewhat annoying, but I'll deal. The RM2 was a huge improvement over the original Remarkable; the RMPP is a smaller, but still substantial, improvement over the RM2. If you can afford it, I recommend it.

It's called phased array. Pretty mature tech now.

I didn't pay for Clear so that I could bask in my social status at the airport. I paid for it so I don't have to go through the PornoScanner™, which is ridiculous, demeaning, and unnecessary. For the life of me I don't know why people put up with it, but I can't gripe at the airport because then the TSA people get very worked up. Hence, Clear.

"Full Self Driving," for some definition of "Full" and "Self."

I think Hardspace: Shipbreaker belongs somewhere on this list. (https://www.focus-entmt.com/en/games/hardspace-shipbreaker)

I can relate. I had wanted to write my own version of Asteroids for 40 years. Maybe not as ambitious as an RPG, but then again, I didn't write a straight clone; I made it my own way, and I finally did ship it. So hats off to this guy, and I'm gonna go support his Patreon.

Spot on. The question is whether Vision Pro is the next iPhone or the next Newton, and I have no clue.

Some editor should be told that "Elon Musk says" is not the click generator it may once have been.

One of the best, most original, innovative, and fun games ever made. M.U.L.E. was a work of art, and I'm so happy that somebody has kept it alive.

If there's anyone I don't need to be "inspired by," it's "rich kids."

"If it looks like magic to me, it must be magic."

So Gradle is not a build tool, it's a tool for building build tools?

That's wonderful, but that's not what I want.

I am trying to solve problems in my particular domain. I want to spend my time solving those problems, not wrestling with my tool for building build tools.

I just want a tool which knows how to build my things, given the dependencies I give it.

I want a tool with clear and up-to-date documentation.

I want a tool whose behavior I can reason over.

Is that too much to ask?

Apparently, for gradle, it's too much to ask.

80/20.

He doesn't name names. It's just "the woke left." I'm pretty left, and I have a big problem with China's treatment of the Uyghurs. I don't buy that this piece, or its author, is serious.

What he picked up was that he didn't even have to hide his contempt for the law any more. He can't just flaunt it, yet, but he doesn't have to bother working hard to hide it, either. Laws are for little people and Democrats. That's what he picked up.

Can the proliferation of LLMs in the hands of bad actors precipitate a society-wide epistemic crisis? Survey says "maybe".

Because the government doesn't underwrite auto loans and home loans, guaranteeing a return to the originators.

That does suck.

BUD: "I can't leave her car in this bad area. Look I need some helpful soul to drive it for me, okay? She's pregnant. She's with twins. She could drop at any time. All right?"

AUTO: "Ok."

Wunderlist lives on, rebranded as Microsoft ToDo. As far as I can tell it's the exact same product, same feature set, etc. I think they made the transition unnecessarily clunky, but it's all there.

I love Org Mode too, but I still haven't pried myself entirely away from OneNote. There is still just too much stuff in my OneNote silo, and Office Lens is too convenient for capturing paper-bound information. I've settled into a hybrid workflow which keeps my vast Org Mode database at the center but retains use of OneNote.

I'll also upvote the mention of BrainTool. It's so damned good!

I think that's the canonical definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Very cool, thank you!

The article has been disappeared from archive.org, due to "content." Whatever that means.

We Asteroids snobs always considered this to be cheating. I could never roll the machine in the old days, but nowadays I can roll the emulator without lurking.
