The fact that it’s Nintendo’s IP seems the key thing here.

So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

Bad link 👎

This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said “A contemporary interpretation of Ada’s punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following” but didn’t have any code.

The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.

I thought that was catchier than “Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode”.

False dichotomy (or is your logical fallacy the slippery slope? Anyway…) Someone saying that what’s happening to Palestinians is wrong does not mean they’re saying they want all Israelis killed.

It’s not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site’s cookies or something like archive.today.

I was going to suggest War for the Overworld but at eight years old perhaps that doesn’t qualify.

And kills it.

This is a great read, I’ll definitely bookmark this for when someone says it won’t be problem.

I’m a massive fan of skeuomorphic design, and Windows 98 was just so intuitive and practical. Things you could drag looked like you could move them, that bumpy texture thing was used in places it wasn’t obvious already, and 3D made clickable things look like buttons.

I’m a software developer and power user, and Android surprised me by having a horizontally scrollable area with absolutely no indication other than the visible items didn’t include something I was expecting to find.

I’m trying it now - I like it but there are a few confusing choices, like how you can only have one widget visible at once.

How do you access the shortcuts that would normally be placed on the home screen? I have some webapps and e.g. OpenVPN shortcuts that I currently can’t see.

Do you use the vim plugin for VSC to keep your speedy navigation? I miss things like “select up to the next quote” but I’m not enough of a vim user to make the switch myself.
