Why Sweden? Did you mean Norway, perhaps?

As other realized, assuming DJT would mix up Sweden, Norway and Groenland _would_ have been spot on - but truth be told, it was my mistake :D

I agree with your general complaints about the decline of Apple’s software quality, but what’s your problem with Safari? I’ve never found another macOS browser I like half as much.

On MacOS it is way better than the crippled hacked-together thing that is on iOS. Google was right to move from WebKit to Blink for Chrome. It is far more stable and impressive.

“Emacs Makes Any Computer Slow” is another one I remember from back in the days.

And astrophysics has MACHOs and WIMPs.

> Dark mode should be reserved for after sunset and before sunrise.

Isn’t that already how it works in all major operating systems?

No, it’s only configurable. And many people like myself leave it dark mode permanently unless in a bright place.

I think the debate comes down to how bright you keep your environment.

OP likes bright overhead lighting and confuses that preference for the superiority of a preference downstream of it. Yawn.

I’d rather look at a bright 27” screen in dark mode where I see full color fidelity than dim the screen so that bright backgrounds aren’t too harsh. But it’s just a preference.

It’s definitely not only configurable. In macOS I have it set to change according to time of day.

Indeed! I also recognize that it would be even better if more apps and websites supported this.

The Helix mode in Zed is promising, but still nowhere near complete, and has a long way to go before it is as user-friendly as the Helix editor. For instance, the nice pop-up display of available commands. When I press “g” in Helix, I get a nice list of all the “goto” commands. This is very useful for discovering new features, and when you have forgotten something. This feature does not yet exist in Zed. And this is just one of many examples.

How do we know how high pterodactyls were flying?

Scientists created a detailed virtual reconstruction of pterodactyl’s body and then feed it to computer simulation to estimate flight speed, endurance and altitude.

Came here to ask the same thing. Hoping you get a response from an expert. I was vaguely under the impression they were mostly gliders... maybe it's something to do with thermals?

This seems like one of those things some people are more sensitive to than others. To my eyes, an LCD or an OLED is just as good as e-ink for reading, except in very bright sunlight.

Me too. I honestly don’t understand why it provokes so strong reactions. In fact, I find all of the changes fairly minor. I expected something much more radical when Apple announced a major design overhaul. Things look slightly different, but work pretty much the same.

Many churches were in construction for over a century, yes. Today? I’m not familiar with any examples other than Sagrada Familia, and even that one is almost finished. These multi-generation building projects seem to be a thing of the past.

Imagine trying to get funding today for a building project that is scheduled to be completed long after everyone alive today would be dead. I can’t imagine that being possible. It’s a pity: I wonder what wonders we could have built using modern technology over such a long timescale.

The Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York is also unfinished, with construction in fits & starts since 1892: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_St._John_the_Divi...

Hram Svetog Save (Church of Saint Sava) in Belgrade/Serbia started construction in 1935 and the exterior was finished in 2017. I haven’t been there in several years, but my understanding is that the interior is still being worked on and will continue for some years to come…

So not quite “over a century” but getting close. :)
