A lot of ESL speakers use it this way ("how does it look like", or "how it looks like"), but it's never grammatically correct to the best of my knowledge.

Chatgpt broadly agrees with me, for what it's worth: https://chatgpt.com/share/6ae9dfa3-10b0-83ec-abff-56149ab6d4...

A friendly reminder that it's either "What does that look like, exactly?" or "How does that look, exactly?" - "how" and "like" don't go together.

As for the way to add it, the full approach should be `add-apt-repository -yp proposed`, then `apt update`, then `apt install -t resolute-proposed linux-generic`

If I'm using my laptop at my desk the lid is always closed. The only time I have access to the touchscreen is when it's portable, which means it's right in front of me on the desk and reaching it is trivial.

No thanks. That's like 5:30am in the summer. I need my beauty sleep.

I seem to be the only person here who’s glad to see it. I use the touchscreen on my windows machine frequently to scroll, zoom, and freehand draw. When you’re just browsing content it makes it very simple to move around.

If you don’t like it don’t use it - you’re likely not the target audience.

I prefer all of the above to be aftermarket to keep costs down. The RPI should be as barebones as possible, with just enough core functionality to get the job done. I think they do a great job with the current offerings.

The appeal would be heard by the federal court first, likely via a full federal court:

> * Who hears appeals? *

> Usually a Full Court of three or more Judges sitting together will hear an appeal. However, appeals from a judgment of a Judge of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia or from a Court of summary jurisdiction will be heard by a single judge unless a judge considers that it is appropriate for the appeal to be heard by a Full Court.

I’m fairly sure ‘sporadic’ indicates random/unpredictable timing while ‘intermittent’ has a predictable pattern.

8 characters? That smells of 'account created on a mainframe' - you can only have a max of 8 characters for mainframe passwords.

I use both, and I can say that I definitely get more out from between my teeth with the water flosser. These days string floss is just for when I have something big stuck tightly that I know the water flosser won't be able to shift.

That was me replying to myself, trying to help others with a reasonably simply option to get a usable file.

Well, I was able to do it fairly simply online via github actions with the help of chatgpt.

I know it's a ridiculous thing to say, but the fact that I can customise the font so well on the website only to then not be able to download it like that is a crime. I don't want to muck about with npm just to build a font - do it on the site! /rant

I can also recommend Westone as being precise and neutral.

They're bringing it back. Chrome 155 onwards will support it.

Windows 10's support isn't out of the box. You need to install an explorer extension, and even then it's a bit shaky.

I personally avoid webp because of the tooling/compatibility issues.

It's still not quite the same though, is it.

It might have been updated. Is this the lean? https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/lean/docs/180.md

I can’t speak for everyone else’s take on it, but I do feel like I addressed your question.

A significant portion of piracy is opportunistic as far as I’m aware, in that people say “well, since it’s free I’ll grab it”. The opportunity cost is effectively zero.

What I’m getting at is that if you have 100 people who pirate the film, perhaps only 5 of those might have been willing to pay to see it, if only there was a convenient opportunity to do so. No money was lost through the other 95 - their decision was between ‘pirate’ and ‘don’t watch it’.

Of the remaining 5, yes, it’s lost revenue, but that’s because there likely wasn’t a convenient service with no ads at a price where people think they’re getting value. It’s all about convenience at the end of the day - if it’s more convenient to pirate it then your service is going to suffer. You have be more convenient.

Am I the only one who found TFA very challenging to read? There was an enormous amount of visual clutter and very little explanation of what was attempted, as well as no discussion of the results. I would have liked more explanation and fewer graphs.

Interesting concept though! I'm glad people are trying tests like this, regardless of whether this specific one is a perfect test or not.

If I wasn't willing to pay for the movie/streaming service/etc then the objective answer is no.

If I would pay to watch it then yes, but I'm not going to pay money to a streaming platform only to watch ads.

Taking the cash from a bank deprives others of the money. Duplicating a video doesn’t deprive another person of anything.

Piracy is simple: when you make your product more convenient than piracy, people use it. Steam is popular for a reason - no crap, enormous game selection.. it’s just better than pirating. Netflix used to be the same - great selection, no ads.. now look: terrible selection and price is too high.

I switched to Everything for search a while ago and haven’t looked back. For the start menu I replace it with Open Shell, which seems to find apps much more reliably.

I think it comes from a difference in what people want. Some people want to achieve goals, while others want to be given tools to be creative. There's a whole spectrum in between, plus other motivations as well.

I enjoy being creative to an extent, but I like to solve problems, so I naturally gravitate to something with a long-term goal to achieve like Factorio (I rapidly lose interest after launching a rocket though).

There's a normal torrent avaiable from archive.org? https://archive.org/download/vddk_20260825/vddk_20260825_arc...

Then why not just say that in the post?

"Our matching donor wishes to remain anonymous, but we thank them for their generosity"

Simple.

That’s what I want to know before committing too.

Luckily I have an amazing wife. We don't hide anything from each other, and she's always been there for me (just as I have for her). I have good support.

That said, you say "it's normal to look forward to the weekend being over so you can sit down and work on the thing you're good at and know how to do" - this isn't what I'm getting at. I look forward to the weekend being over so that I can spend time away from my kids. I trudge through work for the week while trying to regain mental energy to tackle the after-school pickups and the next weekend. I'm just always running at a mental energy deficit. I enjoy my work, but I just have no energy to apply myself - the kids suck it out of me.

Agreed. This sounds like absolute hell. No time for even a single hobby? Where's your pleasure in life?

I fully empathise. It feels like my career went from upwards to a horizontal line. I have far less energy for work, for learning, and for the things I'm interested in. It's incredibly demoralising. I dread weekends and look forward to school drop-offs - what kind of life is that?
