> how many blog posts can the average person write about their feelings on the Iraq War?

A books worth: http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/deepdish/ebooks/i-was-wrong/


We are talking about the masses of Average Joes here.


I think that went away with the jump to 5k. I remember some intent to readd it when possible, but I haven’t seen it yet.


Actually, my research shows that the 2009 iMac was the last one that offered this functionality, which is described in 2009 as "27-inch models also support input from external DisplayPort sources (adapters sold separately)."

This matches my recollection that my 2008 iMac had this feature, and the one my wife got in 2012 did not.

2010 Tech Specs: https://support.apple.com/kb/sp588?locale=en_US


Apple brags about their custom timing controller a minute into the original 5k iMac intro vid:

This is most certainly why video input does not exist. What's ridiculous is they clearly figured it out to support the LG 5K display which is the exact same panel and over TB3 which the iMac fully supports.


More likely Apple dont supply it since it ruins the aesthetic of the back having so many ugly ports. I mean, they've also done questionable things for aesthetic reasons like putting the USB port at the back, the power button at the back, the headphone jack at the back. All these ports need to be facing the user, not behind the screen (I have an iMac 2014, so this is speaking from experience). I honestly believe that an artist determined that iMac cannot be used as external monitor.

Just say "No" to the product. I'm not making the same mistake again.


I think that exists, or at least that’s the impression I got from this product being discussed on Hello Internet.

This is interesting, thanks.


Equally, everything on bulbapedia was within the scope of the project initially, so stats of Pokémon in each gen are now feeling excluded, just as programming languages are. This piece is pretty good on the topic: https://www.gwern.net/In-Defense-Of-Inclusionism


> The outreach and feedback KPIs were satisfied. The consultation was shared to 122 affiliates, of which 52 responded. While it's impossible to accurately measure the number of community members that were contacted, the consultation was presented on email lists and web pages with thousands of readers, and 144 community members replied. > A key performance indicator was that over 20% of affiliates support this change, and that was met, with 38% of the 63 affiliates that responded supporting the change, and 10% opposing. > There were two KPIs that measured community support, which required less than 20% of the community oppose the change, and over 20% support it. Neither performance indicator was met, as 40% of the community opposed the change and 14% supported it. From: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_bra...

Does <40% of respondents, where most polled don’t care enough to respond, seem like an awfully small show of support to anyone else? And that’s on the metric which seems stronger.


It’s still three times more than oppose it.

If most don’t care, there’s no reason to lump them in with the opposition.


I just don't get it either way. Why bother?


Depending on what exactly you want, nitter.net is a fairly good twitter client, although you need to use an rss reader to follow particular accounts.


wow, thanks.

EDIT: here are ways to automate https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Extensions


I’ve been using this for a few things, and while it’s a little more unwieldy than Sublime’s it works fine for most of my uses so I’d definitely recommend giving it a go.


That’s assuming they both get to work full time. The article mentions $215 as a McDonalds paycheck. Assuming that’s typical, and they’re both working two jobs, you get $1720/month.


She mentioned that it was less than she anticipated. Also, a month has 4.33 weeks on average, so even with the $215 weekly, they would be making $1863 per month.


They’ve managed that courage for their keyboards now.


As a guess, people who are invested in games are more likely to consider themselves techy people, the competition makes everything a bit tenser and elicits more excitement, and games are explicitly online only.
