I laughed, then remembered PalmOS had a target of no more than 3 clicks.
Shmer? It has so much padding and margin, even in "compact" mode. But it does have a lot of advertising all over, trying to get me to pay for stuff I don't intend to use. Maybe it's ad-dense? I'm surprised and excited…
Yes, why did somebody somewhere decide underscores should be italic? They're most clearly underline, as in the days of dial-up BBSes. (-:
> Of course, what was really happening is that they were not getting worse, but naturally every year there was some small percentage of vocal dissatisfied users, while the silent majority simply enjoyed their shoes and…
Out of respect for Fruity Loops, and contempt of WK Kellogg Co.'s lawyers, I refuse to acknowledge the forced named change. WK Kellogg can accept the reality that there is no conflict of trademarks or other business…
Assistant depends heavily on which of the many models you use. I've most recently liked results from Kimi K2.7 Code.
Kagi lets you re-rank sites, and also lets you ban results from sites you don't like.

Kimi K2.7 Code, for me. It's the first model I've used that usually writes working code, somewhat rarely breaks stuff when adding or changing features, and usually fixes a bug correctly just by providing a traceback or…
I'd forgotten that. I miss Fog Creek Software. Used Trello a lot before it got sold to, and damaged by contact with, Atlassian. FogBugz looked cool…but I had to use an old version of Bugzilla. I didn't know Glitch…
Static stretching increases tendon length, among other things. The stretch MUST NOT cause pain, and MUST be steady for the duration of stretch. Some suitable duration increments are 10 sec. (absolute minimum), 30 sec.,…
Will, choice, and agency are unnecessary for explaining the example. It can be described simply by the forces exerted. The locations of the observers or sensing equipment matter little in this case, though they do…
I use it for "disconcerted", but I guess any situation that would result in a diagonal mouth irl would be fine.
I thought the claim was "It's annoying and difficult.", not "Can't be done.".

Every one of those is also an example of how people have written and spoken since before AI existed. But then, I don't 'Claude', so I'm not sensitised by exposure.

Droidify sometimes does a weird thing when installing apps: 1. Ensure Droidify is not running. 2. Launch it. 3. Tell it to install or update to an app. 4. Receive an Android system prompt to approve the install/update.…

I resorted to telling people "Click/touch the funny little group of three horizontal lines.", and if they still hesitated, "…Looks like an air vent.". On occasions where I told them it's really called a hamburger menu,…
The first 10 years are 1 through 10. That is the first decade. Consequently, the next decade is years 11 through 20. The first century is years 1 through 100. Therefore, the second century is years 201 through 300. The…
The walls are getting below dew point when they cool and/or the humidity is too high for extended periods. And the walls have dust or other surface accumulations conducive to mold. Insulating the exterior and keeping…
Aging or damaged batteries can have dramatic'ly different output curves than the system expects. What looks like x% to the system can be at the edge of a cliff on the curve, causing sudden shutdowns or power loss.
Quite often when I use a 1990s system, I encounter several things that are instantaneous, while modern machines take several seconds. Like, sending an empty folder to the bin: Win 10 this afternoon took seconds to…
Last I read, Kagi is using data from 3rd-party scraping of Google results, because buying directly from Google comes with onerous limitations: - Must not alter the order of Google's search results - Must not alter the…
