Oh hey, it’s my 2nd smartphone ever. How nostalgic! This phone was built like an absolute tank. It really was a great little phone.
That said, the problem with physical controls is that you either need a larger device or smaller screen to accommodate them. For most people, the tradeoff just isn’t worth it.
For a while, I bemoaned the loss of the physical button bar. Having four (!) indicator lights was really useful to boot. Now I happily use gestures with no looking back.
Would be nice to still see some phones offer this for those who want them, though.
Downside is that it includes your indentation whitespace, though I doubt chatgpt would care about that, as I’d imagine it gets discarded when it’s tokenized, but it’s still good to keep in mind when using " " ".
I think you have it backwards, perhaps. Prescriptive is like when a doctor tells you what drugs to take via a prescription. That’s the old man one. (Although I think it’s quite often younger people who have recently had the idea of correct and incorrect useages of languages drilled into them!) Oh, either you edited your post, or I’m crazy. :)
Also, while too much prescriptivism is certainly obnoxious, not enough has its own problems. Language needs a certain amount of conformity to ensure were actually having a conversation about what we both think we’re having a conversation about.
Agreed, I use highschool level stats knowledge on a nearly daily basis, whereas the last time I did any trig was to follow along with a math video I was watching on YouTube. Trig/calc were mandatory, stats was not.
Given the (very contrived) constraints, I suppose I’d try to maximize utility. The “things”, from what I can tell, are needed most by child 1 and 7 as all the others are capable of making a living themselves. Between the two, I’d opt for #7 as they are at least providing utility to others, even if it is just for a short time.
It’s generally finding amusement in something doing what it’s supposed to do in a straight forward and effective manner, in contrast with an alternative overly complex method.
I agree, but for a different reason. I had an Aussie friend that said “sus” all the time on IRC, and that was in the 00’s, so it well predates Among Us.
I’m going to offer my own theory here, which doesn’t seem to be in line with the most popular theories which seem to me to be creative guesses at the origin.
I think it’s possibly from twitch.tv culture. “Kappa” was a popular emote with a smug face often used to denote sarcasm. Plenty of streamers have used the phrase “No kappa” to indicate they’re not joking, and some shortened it to “no kap”. Since it was passed on orally, it became mistranscribed to “no cap.” People were looking for an explanation for a phrase that didn’t exist, and inadvertently invented one, which became the predominant theory that you’ll find if you search for “no cap origin.”
It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.
