Jack Welch of GE really set the current tone of "all that matters is stock price". The 80s saw greed transform into a virtue

That's where quantum indetermancy comes from. No one, not even the first intelligence, gets floating point right

Unpolished and sincere obscure YouTube vids. The kind where someone is clearly passionate but is doing it solo and in one take, warts and all.

Where I'm from, Triple E is something spread by mosquitoes.. something about it just attracts blood suckers I guess

Ooof.

IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black should be standard reading for high school students.

I think they are an assault on free will. Ads aren't well reasoned arguments for the purchase of a product or service; they're whatever they need to be to get you to change your behavior. If they have to scare, shame, trick, etc. they'll do it.

Yeah, I tried to stay away from the specifics of how to consider size. I was thinking weight more than anything since it factors into how much force is imparted. But I also think more than length, ride height should be considered in addition to mass. Fuckin bumper to the face is way less survivable than to the waist.

My personal favorite: the fines for moving violations should scale with vehicle size. It's total BS an F150 and a Miata get the same ticket for running a red light.

I used to have a Blackberry Pearl which had a seemingly unique keyboard layout of two characters per key. It was the perfect compromise between the old school T9 and qwerty. That keyboard (with physical keys nonetheless) combined with that little trackball thing, it was easily the best handheld device I've used for text entry and editing. I know the article was focused on editing and not necessarily text entry but it really got me thinking. By doubling up and having two characters per key, it would open up a big chunk of real estate for things like cursor keys and other shortcuts.

I love typing and using keyboards in general. I love using Ctrl and Shift with the arrows, end & home, all of it. I would love to love doing it on my phone too.

If you count eShop shovelware, sure. Most Switch games worth owning are available on carts.

[-] blandy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, cloud versions (which are stupid) require an internet connection.. do they even sell the cloud version as a cart? If they do and it's not advertised as such, that's obviously a problem.

Nintendo Switch carts have actual content on them - they're more than just fancy unlock keys.
