On latest Android, long-pressing home activates the Google Assistant overlay, which allows you to select any text on screen (and translate and search region).
correct and it looks like it tries to do some autocorrect, not great when you need to copy some random characters password (like it was the case in the share WiFi password in previous android version, where you couldn't copy displayed password natively)
> The library seems to use BibLatex, which is pretty standard. No reference managers I know understands the above HTML.
It should be easy to write some once-and-for-all XSLT (or other processor, that's just what I'm used to for XML, but I don't know what's easy to call from JS) to transform well-formed HTML as above to a format that BibLaTeX understands. Since it'd be a one-size-fits-all transformer, anyone who wants to write the HTML can do so.
Dang you’re not wrong. I didn’t check all of them but in my phone those drawing ones are super responsive. If only most PWAs worked like that there’d be more goodwill for them. I personally feel most React apps and their abysmal performance (starting with facebook’s attempt) really hurt the PWA movement on mobile.
I dont think people are actually against PWA or React per se. In those examples above yes 80% of them should be using React. What most people have problems with are things like SeekingAlpha which doesn't need to be with React at all but is using it anyway. While I dont visit "SeekingAlpha" but most of the time these site will have one or two problems that makes it feel not a web page but a web apps.
> “Bitch,” he repeated. The mallet came down. She shoved herself upward and it landed just below her kneecap. Her lower leg was suddenly on fire. Blood began to trickle down her calf. And then the mallet was coming down again. She jerked her head away from it and it smashed into the stair riser in the hollow between her neck and shoulder, scraping away the flesh from her ear.
Does your mind conjure no images while reading this?
Aphantasia is hard to explain, especially in a drive by comment.
I'm not the person you're replying to but the answer, for me, depends on what you really mean by conjuring images. Very technically no, I see no images for this but I don't know if that is truly the whole point of what you're asking.
I mostly understand what is happening but I also really struggle to get the angles right in my mind of someone swinging a mallet quickly and one time hitting a shin and the next aimed for the head so maybe I'm missing something.
There are other senses involved as well even though it isn't visual, including things like spatial reasoning or maybe even something like proprioception - like I said it's hard to explain.
I can imagine myself in this position better than I can "visualize" it happening to someone else.
Aphantasia is really annoying to explain to people, like trying to explain blindness to a person who's always seen. I can't "see" anything, but I'm able to reason about it and kinda trace what I imagine with my eyes.
Interestingly enough, I have very lucid dreams and have realized that I am able to visualize (with color!) inside of them. I can't imagine being able to do that at will while awake, must be amazing.
I also can "see" in my dreams! Aphantasia is so fascinating to me because it helps me think about all these senses in much smaller units. I think the more we study and learn about aphantasia the better we will understand the brain in general. It is kind of like a natural experiment where you can remove one piece of the system and reason about the whole because of what changes.
For example, I had never considered that there would be different processes involved with imagining something visual vs recalling it but now that seems super obvious to me! I love when something tweaks my perspective and suddenly a new world of possibilities is revealed.
"Heavenly Numbers: Astronomy and Authority in Early Imperial China" by Christopher Cullen
I read it for a course assignment. The book is structured as a continuous narrative of the development of astronomy throughout the Qin and Han dynasty in early China. It balances general information with mathematical details very nicely, so I feel it will appeal to both readers interested in the history or the astronomy. A pretty fun read for me, despite my purpose.

I'd be curious for a book about the ~1500s AD, roughly when the Europeans/Jesuits initially showed up, and the ~1600s (post-telescope), and how the various worldviews interacted.
