It was a deer

(Because a moose is a deer)

I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won’t surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world’s most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe’s PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Ah, fair point. When someone says “org-mode” I think of the file format usually, but I guess that’s probably not what colournoun was saying.

But also, apparently Emacs is on android

There are at least two org-mode apps on f-droid

We found “strong evidence” for pain experiences in adults of two orders, Diptera (flies and mosquitoes) and Blattodea (cockroaches and termites). There was also “substantial evidence” in adult Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies), Orthoptera (crickets and grasshoppers), and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) […]

The article is written by the computer scientist.

Typography instead of colour is used in the wild, in the Listings LaTeX package!

Windows 10 Home Edition famously advertised candy crush in it’s start menu

Ah got it. I was thinking about dense vs sparse arrays or containers

Sparse is better than dense?

Specifically note the updates

(Added 2015) Some of the documents that we previously received through FOIA suggested that all major manufacturers of color laser printers entered a secret agreement with governments to ensure that the output of those printers is forensically traceable. Although we still don’t know if this is correct, or how subsequent generations of forensic tracking technologies might work, it is probably safest to assume that all modern color laser printers do include some form of tracking information that associates documents with the printer’s serial number. (If any manufacturer wishes to go on record with a statement to the contrary, we’ll be happy to publish that here.)

(Added 2017) REMINDER: IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ALL RECENT COMMERCIAL COLOR LASER PRINTERS PRINT SOME KIND OF FORENSIC TRACKING CODES, NOT NECESSARILY USING YELLOW DOTS. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CODES ARE VISIBLE TO THE EYE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRINTER MODELS ARE LISTED HERE. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE PRINTERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE AS NOT PRODUCING YELLOW DOTS.

+9 appears to be currently shivving +10, so my money is with them

I may have misunderstood the assignment

Github has recently dramatically reduced what you can do without logging in

You should be able to make continuous fibre-reinforced hot extruder filament, but you would either need to print very specific models or have a cutoff mechanism if you don’t want the mother-of-all-stringing

I did post this before reading the article, the entire premise of the (CEOs quoted in the) article is “AI more productive therefore less work required” which only shows that the several CEOs mentioned including Bill fucking Gates are all deeply and inexcusably ignorant of labour or even economic history.

Productivity has more than doubled since the 5 day workweek was introduced ¹. We could have that right now. At least a four day work week has been proven to be more productive in multiple studies.

So what can AI do that hasn’t already been done?
