I remember installing a Windows XP LCARS theme, back when I was watching Star Trek every day as soon as I got back from college – and I remember strongly regretting the decision immediately.

Needless to say, it looked kinda cool, but not quite right for obvious reasons, and the actual experience of using it was... not great.

To borrow an expression from House MD, it wasn't a unicorn, it was a donkey with a plunger taped to its forehead.

I settled on making myself an LCARS new tab web page instead. That was pretty cool, I've often given thought to remaking it... but I'd probably get sidetracked too heavily from my actual work and end up an insomniac with an LCARS Linux distro and a very full inbox.

Aside: I really miss the Windows Classic look. I know you can sort of get it back in Windows 10 but I'm not on Windows these days, I just miss how Windows 98/2000/XP looked and behaved... well, maybe behaved is a bad word.

Aside 2: It appears the author of this simulation has made a few of these LCARS simulations

If you're in a rainstorm and the wipers are set to "minimum speed" then turning the speed up would be critical.
For any local program, I can block its access to the network and still use it. For a program whose functionality requires internet access, I can either inspect every outgoing packet for exfiltrated data, or I can choose to trust some programs to be non-malicious based on their reputation. That trust is incredibly fragile, and unannounced spying/telemetry breaks it.
My ISP gives me /64. It is unusable with consumer routers.
Some things that I personally have have had to do include adjusting the HVAC to have full output on the windscreen on a hot setting, enable the rear demister / mirror heaters or turn the hazard lights on. The windows or mirrors steaming up is a visibility issue and is dangerous if you allow it to occur.

This may not be needed at the start of the drive if people's breath gradually steams up the windows or the weather changes. I have noticed that passengers from warmer climates probably don't have the same problems as they didn't understand this and were complaining at me to turn the fan off.

Though I always buy cars with physical buttons that are in ergonomic places and wouldn't buy something with a touch screen. I am also not sure how a touch screen would work with the thin gloves that I wear in winter when driving to work in the early morning.

you do you, i guess.

but that's where the source of truth about how oauth 2.0 works is.

the "why" you're looking for it's in there.
It's not just the touch screens, it's the contextual menus & moving buttons from version to version (ahem, Tesla). It completely breaks your muscle memory.

I had to take my car to the dealer for service and they gave me a loaner.
Both my car & the loaner had physical buttons, knobs and dials in addition to touch screen (BMW iDrive).
However they were different model years / models / iDrive versions so all the buttons/dials were in slightly different places.

It felt like driving my Tesla again where the muscle memory is lost for adjusting HVAC/wipers/radio since suddenly moved on me. It is noticeably more distracting and less safe since you need to take eyes off the road more often, for longer.

The ultimate for me is the on-wheel controls & HUD for some basic radio, nav, ADAS, speed, etc so you barely even need to look at your dashboard, let alone center touch screen.

Even as a techie, why would you put in the work to set up your own thing?

Though, I moved away from Dropbox long ago when they introduced device limits. One phone, one laptop and one triple booting desktop -> over the device limit already.
Usually the reply is "we sold you 'up to' 100 mbits, on ethernet, sucks to be you" anyway. And the telcos are emptying their stockpile of old crap before they order slightly less outdated models from the lowest bidder.
You are assuming they didn't. If they didn't, they probably had good reasons to believe that speaking up wouldn't help.

The NLRB's ruling is that since Google has so much control over the work conditions, Google has to be directly involved in negotiations with the workers' union and thus has to listen to things like "Please turn the AC on where we work on the weekends."
Exactly. But not everyone base their morality upon how other people or themselves feel about something, or culture etc.
I agree it is beautiful, but in a strange way.

Most construction results in familiar forms. Arbitrary choices are few because the problem has been sufficiently solved.

Touchscreens were always just a horrible interface. Their only advantages were portability and recently cheapness. That made them the best choice for mobile devices but due to fad chasing and cost cutting they have been bolted onto every device where they have no business being in some cases with outright dangerous results.
In practice the bar for "due care and attention" is low (ie. you have had to be really, really careless or really, really inattentive to be convicted). The courts in the UK hold drivers only to a pretty low standard in general. That's why they had to pass a separate law to ban handheld use of mobile phones.
> Rich media elements: images, videos, tabulated results, etc. The terminal has needed an answer to these since 1985

No digital audio or video in 1985 (that'd be a challenge even high-power workstations were far from capable of doing) but lots of physical terminals supported graphics, in the form of Tektronix 401x (more common, implemented in xterm), ReGIS (available on DEC models with graphics), and Sixel graphics (based on printer graphics control codes, available on almost all terminals that supported Tek graphics, Tektronix ones excepted).

For all those, we'd need to arrive at a consensus of how many addressable points should a character cell have, because terminals are cell-based and GUIs are pixel-oriented.

> Fonts. Monospace is the best family of fonts for programming, but is objectively terrible for reading

Physical terminals could be augmented by optional (and sometimes redefinable) character sets that served to render multiple fonts and/or styles on screen (and some character-based graphics, and multi-cell alphabets for larger type). I'm not aware of any terminal from then that supported proportional spacing and implementing a TUI based on that would be painful, because the number of character cells in a row becomes dependent on what is in those cells.

> UI elements that aren’t built around ASCII bar characters for example

You can accomplish that with sixel graphics, but, again, terminal software writers would need to arrive at that same consensus about how many "sixels" should a character cell have in 2 dimensions. Some people want to throw historical accuracy (and existing software, such as GNUPlot) out the window, while others would prefer graphics to be consistent across character cell sized (so that a developer could rely on a box 60 sixels wide to have that many characters).

Furthermore, the problem with Slack and lots of other applications is not one of UI libraries, but poor resource management. Memory pressures for seldom-used entities, gratuitous animation, running more threads and concurrent requests than the CPU and the OS can handle smoothly, and so on.

if the library is implementing oauth 2.0, that explains what the library is trying to do.

how it's implemented... well that's an implementation detail, that most often one couldn't understand without the domain knowledge (unless it's something "trivial" like an off-by-one in some string comparison or something like that).
This is really hard to read. It fits in with what we know about meta’s content moderation in other instances though (see genocide in Myanmar). If you are an employee of Meta or even just a user of their products, I would ask you to take a step back and think about whether in totality this company is worth working for.

People trade to make money. They don't generally do it to achieve political or social goals.

I did not imply that our answers to questions regarding race and slavery have worsened over time.

My argument is that we should not conceal history because our responses have generally improved over the course of history (and will continue to improve in the future). History serves as a reminder that we must remain humble and open to further progress.

I agree with you in the changing of art, I would not change them but rather label or restrict to adults, so they serve us as what they are: pieces of history to learn from.
This. It's hard to take app development that doesn't use any kind of crash reporting seriously, tbqh.

Like, there's a crash reported by a user. That's already rare in itself, and average report quality from non technical users varies from nearly useless to misleading. What are you gonna do, ask them where it happened and what they were doing, to guess where in your related code something went wrong?

It's already happened. Netflix and Hulu both removed the episode of Community where someone was cosplaying a dark elf because it looked too much like blackface. Never mind the fact the person doing it is insane, its resemblance to blackface is the joke, and his character dies and is removed from the show after less than a minute of screen time.
I agree with that. 5G is overhyped, probably due to the fact that sales guys were seeing speeds up to XY GB/s, but forget to mention that it is working only on wideband (mmWave) part of 5G, which might come later, but maybe never at all.

So people either have "5G" which is just a marginally better LTE working on same frequencies as 3G used to or people have 5G mmWave, which works only when they are standing at one spot of a street and in a very specific body position. The moment when there is a wall, glass, tree or a even a mist, 5G mmWave does not work.

5G is disappointment, because it was senselessly overhyped yet its overall usability for end user is not much different from 4G.

The real issue here that original attention span is about moral or other judgement. It is about making claim of disapproval over media use rather then anything you could measure.

> Contrast that with a university lecture, where if you zone out for 15 minutes you might never catch back up because you need to interact with the material in your head to be able to consume it properly.

Zoning out university lecture was extremely normal when I was studying over 20 years ago. You did not died either. You kept making notes in a zombie like state and then reread the notes later on. Or you checked textbook or you asked friend for notes. It would be pretty rare for your memory to be the only source of learning later on.

There was no need to understand and acquire the lecture content right at place during lecture. In all likelihood, there was never ever such need.
I have good experience with 5G.

The speeds are great. On 4G and 4G+ I've been getting speeds of 20-30mbps even though ISP's were advertising 200+mbps speeds (theoretical maximums)

On 5G I easily get 100+mbps, majority of times around 500mbps.

Where I live we get unlimited usage 5G for around $25-30

Believe me it's not about the developers. Even just a few years ago premium, even luxury makes used a 333 MHz processor in the head unit to power their onboard entertainment. Again, it's no such much about software - in safety critical automotive ECUs load must never reach above 33% or so.
The hardware is ridiculously underpowered in most cases due to cost cutting. Remember most car makers operate on razor thin margins, often (much) less than 1k USD per car sold.

>if she was rich that would not have happened.

This is probably true. More specifically if the police knew she was rich.

>if she was white that would not have happened.

I dunno, I watch a lot of videos where cops behave badly, so much so I had to stop watching them because it was affecting my mood. There's plenty of white people who get treated like crap. It happens to everybody because it's not about race, it's about class. Here's a white guy getting tazed because he didn't comply fast enough. He didn't comply fast enough because he was deaf.

It sounds like the root cause is that the judicial system doesn't consider a search to be a harm in itself, only in the effects that it could have.
> Do _you_ want to be on the side that argues that our modern interpretations of age of consent may be a fad

I mean it is a fad just a centuries old one.

My opinion is that morality is essentially a tips and trick of how to survive passed in a game of generational telephone.

E.g. ancient Greek hated cannibalism but practiced pederasty. Cannibalism can lead to catching prions and going crazy. For them it was god's punishment. Pederasty probably didn't have as many negative side effects at that time.

Proclaiming superiority over our predecessors is short lived. Imagine if there were two races of butterflies, one gray one white. The white blend better on trees and thus survive more, so white butterflies start arguing they are morally superior (favorite of God, etc.) to the gray ones, but that quickly changes once pollution grays the trees making now white butterflies the more visible prey.

Thing is... most of these are quite small bugs. The software development team working on this stuff for just a week or two more would have fixed 80+% of these.

Actually, the PascalABC dialect[1][2] supports using variables in that way too. However, I've seen arguments that allowing variable declarations anywhere tends to lead to sloppier coding and unnecessary errors, so Free Pascal/Lazarus has not followed that trend. It also appears that Delphi/Embarcadero may have went in that direction to synchronize their C++Builder and Delphi products, to make it easier to jump between them.

That's... not true? You have `Pointer' for generic pointers and you can use `^' to indicate any type should be pointer based. You can then use Inc() or plain addressing plus arithmetic. And you can use `^' again on the right-hand side to dereference it.

And you can certainly juggle between different types. You can cast things in Pascal.

One of the nice things about ripping the lord of the rings extended edition DVDs to digital files is that I now have a playlist of all files that just runs in a continuous showing. I think it’s 11-13 hours or something. And my friends and family have made it through nonstopped in a single day quite a few times (it’s a Christmas tradition although that usually gets interrupted). There is an intermission after the first and second films as the credits are very long, but it’s amazing how people will stay transfixed to good material.

I think it’s just really hard and rare to make great things and easier to make short, acceptable things that are successful to a lesser, but marginally acceptable level. I call this the “machine learning effect” as it’s regression to the mean and good enough, but not great. The most frequent place I see this is in Amazon recommendation engine where they don’t want you to buy a great book so much as they just want you to buy something, and a perfect transaction is where you only like the book enough not to return it and come back to buy another because you’re unsatisfied.

I found Never Let Me Go to be rather blunt and somewhat heavy handed, the overall premise was just a bit to black and white and it raised no conflict in me. He does use it well and is quite good on the emotional aspects but the lack of that personal conflict leaves it feeling like garden variety drama albeit well written drama. Got a copy of Remains of the Day a couple days ago and it feels like it will be much of the same but I think the premise has more room for those grey areas which raise conflict in the reader and leave us torn between desire and need, the human.
It just means I watch YouTube less and less. I used to have Google All Music Access, and they messed up when one of my cards expired and cut my service instead of giving me a grace period, I was grandfathered into YouTube Red or whatever they call it now, but when I had to renew with a new card, I no longer had both, there was no way I was going to pay for YouTube and Google All Music Access both. So as soon as I got my iPhone I got Apple Music and gave up on Google.
