> travel distance, resistance strength as a function of position, row layout. None of which are determined by being a chiclet, which is just keycaps and a bezel and none of which were addressed in …

You strongly disagree that the X1 and X13 have the best laptop keyboards that I have used since my old T42? Or that the side bevels serve no purpose beyond aesthetics? I don't think you can make …

I have been learning the nuances of editors, it is a fairly fun and interesting little hole. Surprising how much depth there is to something which is a common project for those learning to program.

It is an issue with the 5.19 kernel, it almost but not quite supports the hardware.

The current X1/X13 have the best laptop keyboard I have used since my old T42, they are quite nice to type on. The whole chiclet or not thing is primarily aesthetic, having little bevels on the e…

Breakfast. Sometimes I go to bed early just so I can get to breakfast sooner.

As long as you are progressing I would not worry too much about it. Mix some easier pieces in so you also get practice at playing in/on time but keep at that harder stuff, you will not progress a…

Bluetooth is not perfect and other things in the computer/environment can affect its reception. On my old laptop there is a small hole in the bluetooth reception exactly in the ideal spot for me …

Social media opened a massive can of worms which everyone has largely avoided for good reason, I can not see an outcome for such a case which I can call good, we end up either giving the corporation m…

As long as it remains interesting and worthwhile. So far that has yet to go longer than a few days.

Nothing new and it goes back to ancient times. It is easy to make a quick buck off of the new.

So an executive order for something congress already did? It also seems to just limit how they can spend money on commercial spyware in 2023, they have a good number of ways to work around it if they …
comment
The quick version without all the vague distro talk and a few more Thinkpads thrown in. Current T14/X1/X13 laptops need at least a 5.19 kernel to work but 5.19 is buggy on them in multiple w…

For primarily vocal work the Rode Podmic may be a nice and cheap alternative to the RE320 and other big studio dynamics, they look quite nice. They will not make a good general purpose mic since the h…

Software is getting worse because there is a hell of a lot more of it being written and much of it is written for a quick buck. The hype around AI is because it is a big a step forward and the media i…

For $400 I would go with an RE320 and get some good accessories to go with it. SM7B is great as well, I just prefer the RE320's sound but I would be perfectly content with either as an only mic.
comment
I would go with an RE320 for that money and your situation, they do well in the small uncontrolled room and have a great sound. But then again the RE20/320 are probably my favorite mics so I am b…

If I understand you correctly you are just elaborating on the bit I excerpted from the linked thread? This is out of my depth but it is interesting. It seems povray would have to drastically change ho…

What ever object he used for the sky is set at the height of the Chrysler Building. If it had been moved up higher the shadow would either not be seen or there would be a gap between the shadow at the…

From what I understand the average GPU is optimized for meshes which is not the povray way so GPUs tend not to offer much improvement. Quick search for a more informed explanation. The main proble…

>Programmatically composing mathematical primitives does only get you so far if your goal is to create art relatable to humans. Of coarse, that is one of those weak areas you have to work around an…

Personally I think the reason kids don't read today is the wealth of YA books written by people like the author of this piece. By the time you are "old enough" for those books you are a…
comment
I remember when this one came out and letting my computer spend insane amounts of time rendering images. There is something about POV-Ray, its limitations and interface (or lack of) seems to make it e…
comment
Try not removing context and thinking before reacting. >Eat good and healthy food, NOT SUPPLEMENTS Now think about this for a moment. Do a search for "foods high in magnesium," think some…
comment
No idea if that is correct, it is conjecture on my part. Quick look through the Show page shows no posts without a vote. Karma may play into it as well, posters with lower karma needing more votes to …
comment
Every time I see a headline like this all I can think of is that in 5 years or so we are going to see a headline along the lines of "Magnesium intake is related to legs falling off and low sex dr…

Right, it only shows up in the new posts for people logged in, community needs to approve it before people not logged in can see it. Helps keep spam down.

I think there might be an up vote minimum for posts to show up on Ask/Show, I have noticed quite a few submissions with few or no votes do not make it those pages.
