Isn't ‘Less Wrong’ atheistic, though.

Just FYI, if you just use Firefox in both OSes, you can sync the tabs, history, and extension settings. Though I've seen the opinion that Safari works faster, but OTOH extension developers are unhappy with Apple's publishing/vetting process, and some devs dropped support for Safari that they provided previously.

I wonder if iOS and watchOS being macOS in miniature means that the terminal can be used on them natively, like on Android.

those little pop ups for the space and g menus

Emacs has this with the Hydra plugin, iirc. Particularly, Doom Emacs already has this feature packaged.

Zsh probably can't do that, because zsh is involved with typing commands, not handling their output. You should look into the docs and settings for your terminal emulator — some of them do support selecting output with the keyboard. Alternatively, something like tmux might be able to handle that too.

Try Vimium if you use Firefox, Chrome, or something Chromium-based. Invoking links with ‘f’ and a couple letters is so comfortable that I now get mad when the addon doesn't work on Mozilla's sites (due to security concerns) or when a site has ‘links’ implemented with JS.

I'm happy to report that Wikipedia seems to have dropped the ‘m.’ prefix, and finally detects the device capabilities instead.

This might be true perhaps; but the crux of the matter is that I shouldn't do more than the traditional human-oriented escaping of the addresses, which relies extensively on plain and friendly backslashes, instead of devilish and time-consuming machine-produced percent-codes.

Remarkably, apparently either the server or the client replace backslashes in Markdown links with forward slashes, which is completely bogus and nonsensical.

The correct link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_(game)

Also interesting that you're the first person to raise this issue after two hours and ten upvotes.

There's a pen-and-paper game called Racetrack, in which people can move the 'cars' a certain amount according to acceleration/braking, turning and inertia. It simulates the physics of actual racing remarkably well, better than many video games. There are both web and mobile implementations of the game.

Sounds like TrueWagner mostly.

This is gonna be more fuel for Why veterans hate ICE.

 

Check out the bass in ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, dirty as a hobo. Also features the best rendition of ‘My Sharona’, and the brilliant original ‘Diamond Dolls’.

This post kinda continues the theme from yesterday.

 

From the description:

Even though these Belgian records sound very "now", they are actually 20 years old and were meant to be played at a much, much faster speed. At the time this was the devil's music for us, but we have learned to listen through the claps and distorted kicks and discovered that if you slow these really dark and heavy techno records down all the way to about 115 bpm, it suddenly makes them sound less frantic, ballsier and a lot sexier. Belgium at its best when pitched down.

This is apparently how Belgian new-beat started from techno records, although it was in the eighties, before the time of gabber — so this video is anachronistic and is more of an experiment in recreating the process.

Famously, Aphex Twin advised to do about the same with his ‘Richard D. James Album’ in reply to complaints that it's too short — saying to play it at 33⅓ rpm instead of 45 to get a full-length album. The same approach works great with some other idm or hard-edm records, making them mellower and more relaxed.

 

Noise-rock/metal and a bit of jazz.
