Just press and hold the space button is not that difficult?


I’ve gotten used to it over enough time using an iPhone, but it is still both more difficult to use and less discoverable than the Android equivalent.


How does it work in android-land?


Tapping in different parts of the text box, or dragging the finger in the text box, allow a lot more precise control than what one can easily do by dragging the space bar in the iPhone keyboard, much closer to what you can do on a full computer with regular keyboard and mouse.

The difference is especially noticeable for tasks like editing / deleting / selecting specific parts of long URLs, and on smaller phones where the iPhone space bar is smaller than on larger phones.


You should also check out RRC Restoration. Full rebuild of both bikes and cars, and with good narration. https://www.youtube.com/@RRCRestoration


You could just ask about recent events, and since the answers are not in the dataset the bot could only hallucinate an answer to your question.


In my experience, double the dose lasts the same amount of time, but the peak is more intense. It seems the brain just gets used to the sensation after a while.


Where I’m from Gillette is the popular brand, and they are $5 to $7 each.


There are different types of razors.

Gillette double-edge safety razor blades are about 0.10 USD each. Gillette cartridge razors are about 6 USD each.

The former is "expensive razor handle, cheap blades". The latter is "cheap razor handle, expensive blades". The more expensive cartridge razors don't provide a superior shave, but are much much safer to use.

A safety razor handle costs as much as a pack of cartridge razor blades.

The keywords to lookup would be "wet shaving" to find out more about the safety razors.


> but are much much safer to use.

You say that like double edge blades are super unsafe. At worst if you are unskilled you end up with a minor cut which you just stick a band aid over and are perfectly fine.

There is also a notebook project from Netflix called Polynote that support Scala and Python interop. I think they opted for not making a Jupiter kernel because of the need for fast code completion.

What Scala problems does Kotlin attempt to fix?


Let's not go into the rabbit hole of "Scala has no problems"


Not my intention. But yours was a bold claim, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

I do not agree with you. Scala is a mostly functional language, and Kotlin is mostly imperative. How is that fixing Scala? They are two different languages, and Kotlin being newer, is inspired by, among others, Scala.


I don't think that was nattmatt's intention. It sounded like a genuine interested question to me, and I for one would also love to hear someone expound on this topic.


The brain fills in what it expects in your peripheral vision. For example, you can see colors in your peripheral vision, but it is only an illusion made in the brain.


I'm pretty sure I can actually see in my peripheral vision, only not as clearly. Including colors, I have tested that before.


You can see in your peripheral vision, but not clearly, and not colors. This is because the cones in the eye are all in the center, and they are responsible for most of your daytime vision. Around the cones are rods, they are used for night vision and motion detection. The colors you see in your peripheral vision are not real, but an illusion made by the brain.

This Ted gives some good examples https://www.ted.com/talks/anil_seth_how_your_brain_hallucina...


I know, it's less clear, but there are colors, I have tested that with a random color generator. The colors are imprecise in the far periphery, but the basic colors can still be seen.

I guess my vision may indeed be abnormal as somebody else above suggested, since I don't get the blid spot in the central vision in the dark, either.

As for the sound, I think you just learn to hear the sine waves as speech - I tried to convert a part of audiobook (that I haven't listened to before) and I can understand it a little bit. I used praat with this script (it doesn't seem to like long sounds): http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/sine-wave-spe...
