Subaru's bluetooth implementation adds multiple seconds of delay, so your navigation instructions will be so late that you'd miss turns if you relied only on audio.

I didn't realize that they redrew the parts that don't change between frames.

That's harsh. I believe the author really does get questions from people who want to register a well known path, and probably some of them really failed to consider sites with ~user paths or whathaveyou and this post might push them to use a better solution.

And if you read that and still feel confident that you want a well known url, he links you to the registration process.

Same as a NSFW tag. It's not about adding to the discussion; it's a very brief warning to users who don't want to see that kind of content, and its brevity makes it come at almost no cost to users who don't care about SFW/NSFW or AI/OC distinctions.

I mean, I also prefer to consume subtitled content, but sometimes it's nice to have the option to look away from the screen and not miss dialog. Some video content can even be consumed as audio-only content and not much will be missed.

That explains it for some people, but there's something more here.

Hell, I've personally mentored people who struggled with git and I could feel their struggle.

I'm not saying that learning git was an insurmountable task for them, but their struggle was not something that I had to go through.

I've long been facinated by how bimodal understanding of git is. I'm one of the lucky ones to whom it came naturally, but there's clearly a large population who finds git challenging even after investing significant time and effort into learning it.

I don't see this anywhere nearly as drastically with other tools.

If you passed a cube vertex-first through a regular triangle, you'd want to rotate it, right?

Are there any active gnome 2 forks? That's when I left gnome, too, and I haven't found anything I like as well.

Allowing just anybody to rent npmjs.help feels like aiding and abetting.

I'm so stoked. Pebble was the only smart watch that I actually liked and used.

My apple watch just sits on a shelf. My fitbit I only wear when sleeping. My pebble unfortunately broke, but it also sits on a shelf as I haven't been able to admit to myself that I'd never get around to repairing it.

The nit is that the change observed was not development?

Van Gogh used art to transform his misery, illness, and madness into scenes peace and beauty. If he were to paint gas plumes, then looking at those plumes would fill you with feelings of serenity.

There might be someone hopelessly addicted to amateur astronomy, frequently disrupting their sleep schedule and taking out usurious loans to pay for their equipment. But, that's not happening on a scale that we need societal regulation. Gambling is a different sort of vice than many fun activities.
