Haha, yes. My confidence dancing was terrible for years because of similar advice. Turns out all the girls and boys who were good had been practicing! Who would have thought.

Holy moly, I am so triggered. I have never seen so many kids harmed by bad pedagogy as “just do what comes naturally”. My daughter’s PE teacher gaslit her into thinking she was left handed with this advice and just created the belief that s

If there were layoffs coming 100% these women could have been chosen as retaliatory action as part of a wider campaign of discrimination. A big part of doing layoffs is finding non-discriminatory reasons to lay off people you don’t like. An

Holy shit. Human readable. The actual timestamp/email address/detail is what I need to see to make decisions!

I think it’s more “what benefit is there to not having your seatbelt buckled that justifies and increased risk of death?”

Yep. Always have my seatbelt on. I am used to it.

Occasionally I have to help my father with his windows computer and each time it actually gets worse. Edge. Suggestions. Like I am sure the actual fundamentals of the OS are fairly high quality but holy shit it sucks to use.

If there are zero airliner whistleblowers then there are no airliner whistleblowers go which it is not happening. Though, I was referring to just whistleblowers.

And OpenBSD is doing this because? (Presumably it reduces attack surface by getting exploits in the session out of the listener but does it have greater significance?)

Me too. I am vi mode everywhere so I couldn't quite make the switch on the bindings but I loved the ideas in Helix. Truly a great project.

by Affric 2y ago
Pretty much exactly what is needed. Helix shows the way IMO but the Neovim guys are clearly not conservative. Exciting to see the tree sitter and lsp improvements.

It's still a great film.

It’s an interesting thought. China, at least in the late 20th C, offered many western travellers a glimpse into this idea whereby a local would realise they don’t speak their language and then attempt to make the characters to the westerner

Yep. The internet means information can be shared almost anywhere on earth simultaneously, and so a great deal of human effort must be spent ensuring this does not happen.

The Beatles had nothing to do with the production of Yellow Submarine apart from money until the end.

This only holds if you consider written language the same as spoken language. Which I think is an interesting idea. Languages are symbolic systems of representation. Whether they map onto a spoken language, a signed language, or reality its

I am a little jealous of my friends with switches. They seem to "just work" 99% of the time. What paid off for Nintendo was a willingness to bet on games and take risks on changing up their strategy. Other gaming experiences, iron

Perhaps I didn’t and your kind and helpful comment enlightened me. Historically many people still walked on the street even with trams/trolleys/cable cars/carriages/horses on them too. Automobiles fundamentally changed h

Around sidewalks. It’s not a deep and personal criticism. I think it’s just a sign of how far our society is gone.

Your question is phrased with humans as in intruders on space that exists for cars. As long as cars have existed they have have been intruders into human spaces.

I still prefer MacOS to GNOME. But KDE always just feels like a mess. And everyone's defence is that you can tidy it up any way you like? There is value in that. GNOME and MacOS can sometimes feel like straight jackets. But you know, I

True. Having read the article I am interested in what the penalty would be. If you can’t do it with a civil penalty then criminal proceedings make sense I guess.

Drugs are criminalised here and it still happens. Safe injecting room actually means less of this stuff on the streets round my house.
