I love your personal project! Would make an amazing smartwatch face!

I wonder if trickle charging with a few calculator-type solar cells on each edge of the frame (not the face of the frame) would be feasible as well to prolong battery life.

I know this is going to be a violation of the rules, but this is truly one of the most divorced-from-reality, stunningly dumb things I've ever read.

I'm a high school math teacher, and I think statistics education is desperately lacking in graduating seniors. I think the space for it should come from cutting pre-calculus as a yearlong course though, with some of the concepts backfilled to Algebra 2.

There's nothing a basic Stats 1 course needs calc grounding for (perhaps Riemann sums under a normal curve but that's more for deriving than the concept itself). As it stands now, AP Stats is used for kids that don't want to progress to an AP Calc, but want a math or need to hit a school or county requirement.

I'm far removed from this area of making software but I have to say I absolutely love the name ("Hammer" in Hindi)!

I thought this too, but parents hand their kids phones to watch something on all the time, and having a Kids profile is more elegant than hunting in a menu for a Kids Mode.

It really is incredible, the short flange distance rivals APS-C lens mounts, while the throat and inner diameter is by far the largest of the current mirrorless mounts. In practice, lenses are extremely well-balanced relative to the body, even the zooms like the new 24-120.

Exactly this, I've seen so much made of local budgets giving less to PD's in percentage terms, which is disingenuous in the era of increased municipal spending during COVID.

First thing I noticed when getting a rotating monitor and put it in portrait mode was that reading speed went up. Not sure if it's less head movement and consequently neck strain, but anecdotally this helped my reading speed. Not sure about writing.

Face Unlock has been an available feature on every Pixel for a while and is present in the latest Android 12 Beta, it's just not depth-sensing because it lacks the hardware that the Pixel 4 and iPhone use, just uses front-facing camera instead and warns you about using it.

You joke but the new Ferrari Roma has touch buttons on the steering wheel and the UX has been widely panned.

With Windows installs, they use Windows Precision drivers and feel at least as good as a Surface Book trackpad. YMMV with Linux however.

Highlighted on the Linus Tech Tips video on the Framework laptop, there are thoughtful touches like drivers installing in unattended mode upon OS install, so the team clearly puts importance on that seamless functional experience too.

This is truly sad, Arthur is up there with Wishbone in the PBS pantheon for me and fostered a deep love of reading.

Incidentally the author of the original Arthur books, Marc Brown, visited my siblings' school and he was a thoroughly delightful man with an incredible knack for talking to kids in a frank but funny way.

I feel this way about interactions on mobile. I grew up using Android and still have my phone on 3 buttons mode because it seems obvious. Have been using iDevices for work and some of the tap and swipe gestures are so unintuitive, along with the flat text as buttons. It feels like Apple decided "people that use our devices know this already."

I don't know if anything has changed necessarily, but anecdotally I think the business model has been validated in a high profile way. Accruing returns on stored money (like RobinHood) has largely supplanted the wave of "fresh take on charging you transaction fees" model of Venmo and Cash App.

This has been the appeal behind Phoenix LiveView for me.

Thank you! These look great, will tinker with these over the weekend.

Appreciate it, thank you! I'm looking for Obsidian to be more of a replacement to Noteplan though.

Do you have any tips for making Obsidian function like Noteplan? I'm out of the iOS/Mac ecosystem but love how it works.

Perhaps I haven't used Obsidian enough to figure out an organizational method or workflow for this, but I've really been hoping for a universal version of Noteplan 3. I love having the notes and maps but also want to use it as a daily planner with reminders. Hopefully the mobile app is a step towards that, but I'm open to any worflow suggestions too!

Honestly, yes. Someone else mentioned Google Play Services being a probable point of contention. Overall, with Surface Duo, Microsoft Launcher and Google's work towards making Flutter along with the leverage and developer interest they'd gain through having the Windows install base using the Play Store, it seems like a fair relationship.

Right, that was my assumption too. Sideloading would be my way around, but I'm guessing there may be some runtime signing or containerizing involved as well, else every Android vulnerability just became a Windows vulnerability.

I think Teams integration is more of an acknowledgement that video-calling and workplace collaboration is a default usecase for desktop computing (like email, calendar, calculator, text editing).

>They are making claims about it being more performant, but that's hard to imagine when considering their promises for backwards compatibility.

I can run Windows 95 programs on Windows 10, not sure where the knock is coming from on backwards compatibility.

>Here comes another UI overhaul instead of simply fixing the trash menus

From the leaked ISO, the menus are much improved and overhauled. Sure, I want a modern tabbed File Explorer too, but it's clearly being worked on.

Not a fan of the Android apps installable and discoverable onto Windows...but through the Amazon appstore. Weird, and I'd much more prefer installing to PC from Google Play itself.

I think an interesting thing mentioned at the end about the Microsoft Store is that if developers use their own "commerce engine" they keep 100% of the profits.

Looks like a ton of nice little QoL improvements for the vast majority of people especially with Snap and Multiple Desktops, with monitor layout memory. Hope that taskbar can still have programs with "non-combined" windows, as opposed to dock style. Using PowerToys Run personally seems like it's going to sidestep most of the complaints I'm seeing from this comment section.
