"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

civil twilight begins at sunset.
civil dusk (end of civil twilight) is arbitrarily defined as when the center of the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.

http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/different-types-twilight.html

so civil dusk will always occur the same amount of time after sunset. so if it's 10 minutes or whatever then just ask when sunset is and add 10 minutes.

you can write a program that will do that, but only while it has foreground focus so you can't actually do anything with your computer at the same time

yeah, it is weird that they didn't make the escape key physical. sure it'd be a bit assymetric, but the loss of the escape key is the one argument against the touch bar that i feel is really substantial

the row pretty much by definition had the escape key, which has a very clear meaning, and then a bunch of keys which contextually means whatever, which it makes some sense to give a bit of actual ui help with

but, for a given latitude, it should always take the sun the same amount of time to reach 6 degrees below the horizon once it has reached sunset, yes? unless I'm overlooking something.

but idk, I'd never even heard of civil twilight and civil dusk until this thread. and apparently it's something that local governments gently caress with because reasons? idk.

not letting background apps gently caress around with your keyboard is probably the right choice. i guess it'd be nice to be able to customize the "fixed" set of buttons on the right

quote:

SAN FRANCISCO—Following the resignation of Apple founder Steve Jobs, incoming CEO Tim Cook called a meeting of shareholders and members of the press Thursday morning to announce that he envisioned printers as the company’s future. “Laser, ink-jet, double-sided, color, black-and-white—the future of technology is in printers. I am absolutely convinced of that,” Cook explained to a packed auditorium as a montage of printers and people using printers played on a screen behind him. “What is the one thing people will always need? It’s obvious: printers. Printers with fax machines attached, printers that collate and staple, perhaps a printer that makes photocopies. Anything’s possible. It’s called innovation.” Cook concluded his remarks by assuring investors the release of upcoming Apple products such as the iPhone 5 would be postponed for at least four years so the company could throw all its time and resources into the creation of high-quality printers for the home and office.
