Not technically "Accessibility" but Android has a "developer" setting called "Show Touches" which puts little dots on screen when you touch it.

I find it acts a little like being able to see the cursor on a desktop or laptop; it provides a little bit of immediate feedback that the system recognized your intent, and helps make it clear whether it's the OS or just the app when things are getting laggy.

Isn't it possible for creators to release on YouTube some time after the Nebula release?

I know of a couple channels that do that, though it seems like there's a requirement to add a little extra bit on the end for the Nebula side.

Why would AI make these age worse than, say, libraries or languages becoming obsolete?

I don't think a good learning resource gets worse just because there's a newer alternative.

When it includes executeable code?

The fact that so many people are now running around with "agentic" software that fundamentally can't distinguish between their own "thoughts"/rules and untrusted user input doesn't turn a meme into malware.

Token predictors by themselves are fundamentally insecure, and cannot be made secure without a strong semantic world model. It's like `eval`-ing everything, or auto-coercing strings to objects or function calls, vs having a strong static type system.

Hah. I expect to see a lot of more of this kind of thing in the future, at least until someone works out how to integrate LLMs with a more structured approach to AI. We can't get away with just asking the prediction machine to "do what I mean, please and thank you."

Kobo store is convenient but feels pricey sometimes (I don't have experience with the Kindle store). I don't mind paying them though, because it's still easy enough to strip the DRM and make backup copies of my books. If that changes, I'll take my business elsewhere.

I make a lot of use of my local library through the native Overdrive integration.

It's been quite a while, but IIRC, in Java these statements actually do have a defined behavior.

The ++x is a "pre-increment", meaning the value of the variable is incremented prior to evaluating the expression, while the "post-increment" "x++" is the other way around: the expression evaluates to x, then x is incremented afterwards.

All expressions are left-to-right.

For the OG controller on Linux, it was/is possible to use third-party open source software like "sc-controller" to map the pads and rebind things the way Steam does, without needing Steam running.

I don't have any reason to believe that similar projects won't work for the new version.

I landed on Inconsolata, which makes sense as it's directly inspired by Consolas. I already use Inconsolata most places, since I'm not usually on Windows.

The argument that can be made is that we never would've gotten PipeWire without going through PulseAudio first.

The Zoidberg Shuffle?

Wouldn't they do exactly that if they were trained on enough text with punctuation mistakes?

I've had my Framework (w/Arch and KDE) since 2022 and have yet to have any problems with sleep. I can safely unplug from my monitor/dock, close the lid, and drop it in my bag. It's never tried to cook itself while in sleep.

Battery life in sleep (and in general) could be better, but on the whole I've been quite happy with it.

Is it possible that the iPhone filters are weaker due to FaceID requirements? I seem to recall that FaceID (and similar systems, like Windows Hello) depend on IR to get a more 3D map of the face, so it'd make sense that they want to be more sensitive in that range.

Laptops aren't generally being used in the same areas as cars though, so you wouldn't expect to see as many cases involving Windows Hello compatible laptops/cameras.
