I think it's just missing the high walls between each.

You're right, It presents an argument that we shouldn't teach them 'the obvious' arrow keys at all.

The reasons I still use vi-style editing in editors are:

1. Efficiency, so I can be fast

2. Minimal stretching and whole-hand movement, so I don't get painful wrists and so I can be accurate.

Using a keyboard's arrow keys doesn't fit with 2.

It sounds like you're assuming a few things: 1. Where you've written "smartphone", you're using this as a proxy for social media, which is what this legislation purports to target. 2. aledevv is a parent. 3. aledevv has, for whatever reason, not withheld access to social media (I'm taking "smartphone" as a proxy for "social media") for their child. 4. What aledevv said they agree with is state-level restrictions on social media for children.

Please correct me if any of the above is a misunderstanding.

If the above are representative, then what I believe you've overlooked here is a the much more difficult issue:

Parents have power over children, at least up to a point, and many platforms provide help with exercising that power. Apple and Google provide some means to restrict social media access which place control in the hands of parents.

Parents do not, normally, have power over other people's children. Parents can influence in-person social circles, somewhat, but without withdrawing children from all situations where they interact with other children, including school, social media's influence upon a parent's children is still very strong via the indirect route.

When a child goes to school, attends a group activity outside of school, or socialises in real life with friends outside of school, there are always children in the groups they meet who either use social media themselves or have older siblings, friends or parents who use social media themselves and who influence those children themselves.

To be clear, I'm not giving any opinion about what's proposed here by the UK government. I wanted only to object to what looks like an oversimplification that makes a false assumption that parents have a level of control and influence that they really don't.

The WSJ and Daily Mail both ran stories with headlines explicitly stating that they generate more particulates. I can't find any credible source stating the same, so I'm assuming the stories were the usual agenda fiction, but they do exist.

“Just go grab the data breach from some other location”

Do you have examples you can point to where this has happened? I would be interested in cases where this kind of approach has been taken, as my intuition is that Troy’s service wouldn’t make this significantly easier or cheaper.

Any chance of a sensor that can detect whether doors are locked (rather than open?)

The Elixir add-ons for VS Code provide this too.

Ads, or suggestions for content you could watch on the device you just bought, one of the main features of which is allowing you to subscribe to content providers, rent content, and ‘buy’ content.

Calling this ‘ads’ is disingenuous.

I have Spotify at the top left of the clickable icons and the top row of the screen shows Spotify’s suggestions.

If you use Elixir for a while you may find that there is a lot more consistency, and almost no ‘cutesy’ code around. Elixir’s syntax only looks a little like Ruby at first glance.

What kind of features? With Elixir, I use the ‘click in stack trace to go to error’ feature, do some debugging, use code completion, test running - and not much else.

I’d be interested to know what other kinds of features there could or should be, as I’d like to be as productive as possible and I don’t feel like I really am.

If you look at it that way, yes, it’s not expensive.

I would say that the Fiesta is 10k too expensive.

“when rendering faces […] it still doesn’t look realistic to me”

This gets to the heart of the matter for me. No matter how much hair sways like real hair, skin wrinkles like real skin, or eyes get a glassy look when emotion suggests they should, real humans can spot weirdness from miles away.

That person you see walking towards you, barely visible in the dark and without your glasses on? The tiniest stiffness in the way they made that last step, the way their elbow shifted, have raised your awareness and you’re now considering them a threat, and will watch them carefully and keep your distance.

Or the way they get up from the table they are sitting at clues you into the fact they have a pulled muscle in their lower back or upper right leg and you instinctively watch a little closer in case they fall and you can help somehow.

The scowl and glare of a woman who is playfully admonishing her kids and encouraging them to play along.

While we asymptotically approach ‘perfect’ rendering and simulation, we are still just alongside it, unable to climb out of the uncanny valley.

A game can look beautiful with some creativity and care in its visuals, and it seems like nearly everyone who’s played Tears of the Kingdom or Breath of the Wild is enamoured with their beauty.

I often play just to travel around and enjoy the beautiful landscapes. Even The Depths is enchantingly beautiful, reminding me of what you can see while scuba diving. I wonder if this was intentional.

So yes, while I do appreciate a super high resolution game with rock solid megahertz framerates and physically correct lighting, these are additive in their enhancement, not multiplicative.

Spending effort on these that could have been spread more evenly across art direction, gameplay, music and other aspects serves only NVidia, AMD and those who enjoy ‘high fidelity’ visuals or the game (in its own right) of chasing hardware that is capable of running these games.

To me, there is a parallel with the 'audiophile', who lusts after higher and higher 'fidelity' and perpetually upgrades their equipment but only ever listens to a playlist titled "Songs to test headphones with". Spine-tingling cymbal wash and awe-inducing bass sweeps are amazing.

Others are here for the remaining 90% of the music, and are happy to listen on their phones, and don’t even notice when a live performance isn’t a clone of album tracks.

I personally fall into both camps. I love to put on some headphones and listen to ‘audiophile’ music, but that’s a hour or two every few months. Most of the time I’m having a blast with medium fidelity, ultra fun music … and gameplay.

Yes, though I don’t use the symbols suggested on that page as they don’t connect with people’s mental models very well.

I just overlay the flows of data on other diagrams, adding notes about the type of the data, and sometimes add info about particular fields, where useful.

Where I work it’s also useful to add the internal classification of the data, which allows understanding of the sensitivity level of the data and its retention policy.
