Indent via word processor action (which can be turned off) or indent via tab - same, same. Tab at the start *is* "first line indent". Word processors typically have spell check as well. This leads people to fail to edit and so publish errors.
An unfortunate feature of writing is having to edit, re-edit and re-edit. I'm on the last four books of the series I'm working on. Not a lot of time to read other stuff.
That's a whole 'nother animal from "get to sing around a Piano" and takes quite a bit of self-importance to think that you're actually 'collaborating' with him. And since Mr McCartney spends his time working with people who are on his level vis a vis recording/video processes, my guess is that *he'd* rather sit around a piano enjoying a casual song with people who aren't.
I see killing an animal for food as ethically dubious on its very best day.
You're out in the wilds, scrub brush, and starving. You have nothing to eat. You see an animal you can overcome to kill and eat. Describe how this is ethically dubious.
Ah yes, the Internet. Where all you have to do is type "It was a joke" to remove any culpability for a lack of clear writing or to even reverse the point of a comment.
Doesn't matter, both BeauHD and AmiMoJo will write whatever they need to bolster their personal views. They'll argue it's pedantically correct, as *they* factor that in, then project.
There's a reason people put "/sarc" at the end. Sarcasm, like facetiousness, doesn't translate well to print. Your upper post read like a statement of belief.
Of course, now that "easel" is made of LCD pixels controlled by a computer.
No it isn't. Mine is literally one foot off to my left. It's made of teak and folds down for portage.
But aside from that oversight, I disagree anyway. All you're saying is that because you use a computer instead of a typewriter (and perform the same activity on it), you're suddenly using 'ambient computing'.
From the article:
Ambient means it’s “in the air” — the location of the device matters less. In fact, with ambient computing, the user doesn’t even have to know anything about the devices to use them.
Having a machine to do some function for you is not that. Try putting your computer in another room and doing what you've called 'ambient computing'.
For that matter, try doing either activity simply by speaking 'in the air', even with the system in plain sight, and see how far you get.
That's the crux of the article. I should care why? He's a technical guy, he knows about memory. He just refuses to apply his knowledge to get rid of his paranoia. This guy's nothing but a low-level conspiracy theorist.
As I wrote in one of my books:
"They're all alike. Conspiracy theorists. They'd rather live in a terrifying fantasy world than the real one."
I do not want a 'relationship' with my machinery. Relationships involve intimacy and I don't want intimacy with Amazon, Google, et al. They may have my clicks and typed in text I use to get what I want but they don't need to figure out if others live with me, what I talk about when they're "not listening" or anything further. Camera feed? Fucking hell no.
Then you think incorrectly. Tectonics is not like shuffling a deck of cards, it doesn't jumble everything. Besides, you'll have to explain how the gold got *back* into veins in rocks, lode deposits, etc.

Do you not see the contradiction?
The point of the 5-paragraph essay.
is that ever since these jokers started coming up with all the alternative methods, kids have started getting worse and worse at writing.

Only to people who conflate "want" and "need".

Perhaps you missed the news that FB does *not* honor their user agreement.
Is that horse you're riding 19 or 22 hands high?

Always look for the political agenda in a /. article/summary.
You could have posted them as well, but didn't, instead standing and displaying your self-assumed virtue for all to see.
We already are. Seems you believe that if it hasn't been totally eradicated, nothing is being done.
Yes. The hyperbole made that clear.
No it isn't. Mine is literally one foot off to my left. It's made of teak and folds down for portage.

Well, one thing, AI could show you how to break up that monolith of text so people might read it.
Yes, but 'most' isn't 'replaced'.
So friggin' what. They once pledged to "Do no evil". They broke that, they'll break this. They are not to be trusted.
isn't someone to listen to.
Correction - You say this as an AC *claiming* to be in the industry since the '90s.
