A bit of UI/UX sand: Store the scroll position when navigating the list.

User clicks on a project, views the details and returns to the same position in the list (including all the expansions via “Show more”)


What if we instead look at the last clip as “the one shot”

Personally I don’t think that takes anything away


Well, he is standing still, the camera is stationary. For just that last segment, it is easy to answer "how did he do it?" Write out his remarks, rehearse with a timer, then figure out at what point in the countdown to begin speaking.

The main thing is that he has say basically one sentence right in a single take, but he is a seasoned television announcer, so that in itself is not too surprising.

The much longer segment, including walking with a moving camera at exactly the right timing, would have been much harder to get in a single take. (Not to mention that that Saturn V lying on its side is probably not even in the same location.)


Yes and no. The Saturn V he walks past was on it's side next to the Vehicle Assembly Building, which is close to launch complex 41 from which the Voyager missions launched.

But I think it's about 120 degrees to the left from where they shot the shot of Burke walking. They absolutely had to set up a different shot to get Burke and the Titan III in the same shot.

As an aside... That Saturn V is no longer at that location. Several years ago they moved it a mile to the north and built a building around it to create the Apollo / Saturn V center. Or at least I think it's the same artefact.


My ideal would be a small "stick remote" with a mic button.

The AI listens as long as you hold the button, and the device is efficient enough to carry with you 24/7.


If "touch grass" was a hero's story


Or measure their mechanic's productivity by number of hours spent on the car


It's a misinterpretation of the work underpinning f.lux.

We went from "avoid blue light after sundown to help keep your natural circadian rhythm" to "blue light bad! Buy this product!"

Now we're too far down that path with customers specifically avoiding devices that give off blue light whether or not they understand why. Companies like that are just taking the safe bet by avoiding blue light


The sum of all physiological knowledge will end with watering plants with Brawndo because electrolytes.


I've heard that, but I still think the amber light is disgusting and gross, I'm not buying a device that only has that.

I even recently broke my old Kindle, I'd already heard of daylight computer tablets but the amber light was a main factor and why I just bought another Kindle. I would like high FPS and fully unlocked Android, but all I really needed was some way to read a bunch of digital books. The new Kindle also has an Amber mode, but I keep it off I like the blue light I think green would be better) fall asleep reading just fine.


“The best time to plant a tree is 25 years ago. The second best time is now.”


Wouldn’t the second-best time by that be 25 years ago less a second?


Why not a picosecond after the first one?

What is the smallest unit of time?

Does it even make sense when you get there?

Now I've got a headache.


Jumping in as I’ve enjoyed what we’ve had as well as wished for more.

Does your setup:

1. Back phone things up to the PC wirelessly? Not just photos but app data, documents, drawings, etc. Note: must all be in original quality/format

2. Allow your PC to update an app itself (in a way that can be scripted)?

3. Allow copy/paste between the desktop and the phone? (Though with LocalSend being decent this is less and less relevant)

4. Transfer edit history for photos, videos, and audio?

5. Allow you to install and debug your own apps wirelessly? (ok, this one is a gimmie bc linux to android does this natively through adb)

6. Allow your phone to mount drives from your PC so that you can access and transfer files wirelessly?


1. You can mount devices on each other so you can copy/backup as you wish.

2. Not sure, but you can setup scripts and run them. I only tried running scripts on my PC via my phone.

3. You can send the clipboard to another device.

4. Not sure what this means.

5. Not sure.

6. Yes.


Before someone argues that “this requires enough background technical knowledge to know which buttons to press to make it easy” there is a point there, but distro maintainers have had that point in front of them for decades.

There’s now only one prerequisite for new users: the willingness to format the hard drive. Everything else is trivial and for 9/10 distros the screens are welcoming, clear, refined, and non-technical.


Pushed (“recommended”) content is a type of ad


Apple has recommandations in their stores since the beginning, all the way back in 2001 for the iTunes Store.

Apple has ads in Apple News+, which is a terrible thing for something you’re paying for already.

Apple has recommandations in their subscription services of other things on their service. That’s not an ad. That’s a recommandation.

Is there something I’m missing?
