I use it for visual accessibility but I won’t lie, I do think it looks way cooler. My first computer was a 286 with DR-DOS. That could have something to do with it.
I’ll fight. Dark theme isn’t just a UI preference. It’s an accessibility tool. I have a degenerative eye condition that has progressed to the point where I literally cannot use a black on white display
So I use dark reader on web and get creative with apps that think dark mode is dumb.
Exactly that. I wouldn't be surprised if supporting a dark colour scheme becomes a WCAG thing, which if it does, it becomes a legal requirement under European digital accessibility laws.
Anecdotally, I just find dark mode more comfortable, even during daylight.
I'm technically waiting until my vision stabilizes after an operation to get contacts. So it's not quite that bad yet.
I've read that other people prefer dark themes, but for me that doesn't quite work. Something about the light letters glaring (as opposed to the background) just doesn't sit right.
Needless to say, the current era of sleek black/dark apps and dark themes being hip in dev tools is not fun. I do miss them though.
That's awesome thank you for sharing, really appreacite it ! Hope you have a good time with Contrapunk. Just let me know if you are facing any issues as well.
Sorry about that, you will have to download the app again there was an issue with the midi out for guitar atleast. Just to be sure, have you setup the IAC buses. I usually like to have 4 and then configure them as output devices.
Baffling to see this, in every place I've worked at that used Lotus Notes, it was an absolute dog on the system. Clunky, slow, and ground everything else to a halt. And this was the case even on a relatively modern laptop in 2019. Not what I'd call performant at all!
Notes was simple enough to allow folks with no computer science background or even sympathy for the machine to build teetering, badly-performing things.
However, even with a mind towards efficiency and minimalism, performance at roughly hundreds of thousands of documents was extremely elusive.
It wasn't performant, and it didn't scale. I was in a Notes shop in the mid-nineties and it was dog slow for practically everything in a perhaps fifty person company.
Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a central nervous system stimulant used for ADHD and narcolepsy, but it is not an amphetamine based medication, unlike Adderall. While both increase dopamine and norepinephrine, Ritalin acts as a reuptake inhibitor rather than a stimulant that directly releases these neurotransmitters like amphetamines do.
I would love to use RSS to disseminate updates I’m working on, especially to my family. But my family wouldn’t know what RSS was, let alone use a reader. Are there ways my family could already be using RSS and not know? I don’t want to try to get them to install yet another app or use another service because the friction will prevent them from doing it.
This is very interesting to me because a plant this old might be cheaper to operate than a new plant, but might be like the space shuttle in that replacement parts aren’t readily available and thus expensive to custom manufacture.
If you were to step into the control room you’d see analog phones, tiny incandescent bulbs behind plastic covers… looks like a sci-fi set from the 60s.
The expensive part of a reactor isn’t really the reactor or tech itself, it’s the government regulation from the DOE and NRC.
I worked at Areva/Framatome/B&W and IIRC they still have the archival room where hundreds of 4 inch D ring binders held the original design docs that had to be submitted for approval.
Not too disagree with the bulk of comment, but this sentence is not true. They're 90V neon indicator lamps, a technology that's really cool but also so inefficient that people rip it out and replace it.
