I now use "ASCII em-dashes" by using two hyphens -- like this. Or--if you prefer no spaces--like this.
I cannot understand what you're trying to say at all.
I seriously doubt saying "big blond haired baby who likes burger and fascism" instead of "Trump" would have made a difference for these people.
No, it's both. The purpose of high school is to give you a wide foundation on everything. The purpose of an undergraduate degree (in math) is to give you a wide foundation (in math). In a (math) PhD, you are generally…
The set of all real->real functions is still a vector space. This vector space also has a basis (even if it is not as useful): there is a (uncountably infinite) subset of real->real functions such that every function…
> This might be okay for consumer apps, but maddeningly, the same doctrine gets applied to enterprise applications as well. I've literally heard non-techie employees of a Fortune 100 company ask for their legacy green…
I once had to solve a captcha in a foreign language because of that. Wasn't something obvious like motorcycles either, it was something like "click on all hamsters" in a grid full of various rodents.
My team uses Matrix and I must say I'm not satisfied. There are messages that I get a notification for every time I open the app, and "mark as read" buttons that do nothing, especially if you use threads. This is…
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if this "missing piece of insight" is at least sometimes an illusion, as in the "monads are like burritos" fallacy [0]. Of course this does not apply if there really is just a…
In fact, Facebook is so sure they already have everyone that new users are often flagged as suspicious and banned by their automated tools without even doing anything. No other site could afford to do that.
I remember it being the case before too. It wasn't unconditional like it is now. For example, I distinctly remember being able to scroll through someone's profile in a normal browser window without being logged in, but…
Non-technical users don't want to do that, and won't understand any of that. That's the unfortunate reality of developing software for people. If Excel generates CSV files with some Windows-1234 encoding, then my…
For what it's worth, I do not remember a time when YouTube's suggestions or search results were good. Absurdities like that happened 10 and 15 years ago as well. These days my biggest gripe is that they put unrelated…

Well, the article was about work. Mobile devices may be well-suited for chatting and general entertainment but I seriously doubt that many people could do effective work - more than a couple quick changes - with the…
IMO this is a red herring. A corporation's right to hold property, enter into contracts and to sue or be sued might be technically called "corporate personhood", but this is very different from what laypeople mean when…
I think they are suggesting that the stronger KYB/KYC was ineffective at reducing the amount of spam.
The actual paper seems to be https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.00076.
I wonder why they chose 3.5mm in the first place instead of making an USB thingy. Just because it used to be more universal compared to like 5 different standards for the charging/data port? There are some theories…
It probably isn't actually "your organization". Some MS products just use that as a generic "this is disabled in some config or the other", (perhaps correctly) assuming that in most cases, it actually is turned off by…
I feel like this position is meaningless. People experience something they call "consciousness". The phenomenon exists. Saying that it doesn't exist seems to really mean "the phenomenon is an illusion created by…
Sounds like people applying to thousands of positions based on only keywords to stay competitive.
One common explanation to such things is that it is a filter: if a person doesn't notice something like that, there's a good chance they won't become suspicious later either.
Not GP but I use a similar setup. I have an "extended" US keyboard layout where AltGr+(location of character on native keyboard layout) types the character. For example, AltGr+[ is "ü". I find this more convenient than…
Oh god yes. Facebook and Messenger have so many such bugs, coupled with general slowness and clunkiness. Having 80k employees would sound so much more reasonable if all of Meta's services worked really well; right now…
