For anyone else viewing on mobile, I had to switch to desktop to see the creators, filters, and search.


The author mentions

> After all I’ve been a full stack dev for a little bit (just graduated college!)

I'm guessing they differentiate being a dev (professionally or looking for work) from a student perhaps?


I don't know if this is the same experience for you, but for a while I would just open the camera app without realizing I had to swipe over to Google Lens mode to have it detect QR codes.


Moved to Tokyo from the US in 2020. I first heard of the SDGs in language school.

They're also heavily promoted in my work's orientation and training material, but the hq's over in Europe.

I've seen it in the wild maybe two times at most. Once in Ikebukuro as part of some volunteer clean up thing and another on some building somewhere.

So to me, it's not completely unheard of, but "suddenly everywhere" is still definitely a huge stretch.


I believe this discussion is about the same issue with their browsers not blocking Microsoft-owned trackers:

For those studying a language that might use benefit from this, I have this CSS in my Anki cards. I use the ruby tag to remind me of readings for things that aren't the main focus of the card I'm working with. For example, if a vocab word is used in an example sentence, but one of the other words in the example is unfamiliar to me.

It shows the rt tag on hover or focus and works for me for both mouse and touch on Anki and AnkiDroid. Maybe this or some variation might help others as well.

  ruby {
   text-decoration: underline dotted;
  }
  ruby rt {
   visibility: hidden;
  }
  ruby:hover rt, ruby:focus rt {
   visibility: visible;
  }


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but would that work? I'm assuming (it wasn't clear) the goal there would be to display the person's whole face in a non-distracting way. But if the OLEDs are transparent and they're projecting the image that person's face, the projection would be both forwards and backwards, so the camera would just capture the space between that person's eyes instead of you.

Can transparent OLED's have a unidirectional display?


For whatever it's worth, I just downloaded 1.9.5 for Windows from https://msysgit.github.io/. While the release notes don't mention "CVE-2014-9390" explicitly, it does say this:

Changes since Git-1.9.4-preview20140929

New Features ...

Bugfixes

* Safeguards against bogus file names on NTFS.

Edit: Actually, there it is on their git hub releases page. https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/tag/Git-1.9.5-pr...


Honest question. Not just for knappador, but anyone else who wants to chime in. How do you all feel about a single piece of glass vs. actual buttons?

Personally, I tend to prefer real buttons more often than not. I'm fine with tapping and swiping when I'm just browsing stuff (browser, certain apps, etc) on my phone or tablet.

But I feel like if there's 9 or more buttons grouped closely together (maybe less), an interface where I can feel the boundaries between buttons without activating them and get a physical response when pressing them is just better.

I wonder how many people feel just a touch interface is on par or better. I know I've never really gotten used to typing on my tablet like I do my keyboard. But maybe I just need to spend more time with it.


The problem is, how much better is it really? The flatness of the cover by its very nature implies awful tactile awareness compared to Cherry MX's or any other such device wholly designed to aid tactile awareness. Looking at the images, I'm guessing I'm about as likely to gain a feel for this device as I am to start reading Braille spontaneously. What is there to give tactile feedback on this thing? Paint!?!? XD Subtle dips in an already subtle material?! I'd rather open a school teaching finger-navigation on felt than develop any application dependent on this. Who is this really a wake-up call to? I'd have to have been using an iPad to transcribe on for the last three years to buy an exclamation that relevant change has occurred. Hardly the thing that will stop the slide of MS, and good riddance. One less platform wholly and utterly founded on proprietary software.


Tactile feedback is essential to typing.


Have you tried recently? I don't remember the steps, but they let me create a public page for my YouTube account. I still have one Google/Google+ account, but all my YouTube stuff (videos, playlists, favorites, etc) is tied to that public page, which I've locked down on Google+.

So my channel still has my original YouTube name and comments won't be made with my real name.
