Taking them out does that? That makes no sense. That sounds more like a bug or oversight than a dark pattern.

I don't understand these two sentences in the article: >Natural evaporation would rapidly lower the level of the enclosed Red Sea. The dam would also lower the Red Sea by about 2.1 meters per year (6.8 feet per year). "Also?&qu

You know you asked a good question when everyone is outraged at you but can't actually provide a cogent answer. "I'm tired of replying to this" lmao what kind of response is that

I have zero tolerance for crappy wireless stuff in general but my wireless Logitech mouse has worked flawlessly. I can't think of a reason to prefer a wired mouse over it.

What is 'SIP' in this context?

Europeans are always going on about how their right wing is to the left of America's left wing (as if any American should care). So when I hear "soandso European is far-right!" then shouldn't I be forgiven for thinking,

I once received a postcard (as in, no envelope) with a picture of the product I bought, trying to bribe me for a 5-star review. The product itself was totally innocuous but I can imagine if that happened with something that was even slightl

I'm a native English speaker in the US and I've been spelling turmeric incorrectly for decades. When I noticed that first 'r' I questioned everything I thought I knew about the universe...

To everyone providing testimony such as "I don't use an external monitor and I'm fine" (or not), please mention whether you're using a laptop stand and/or separate keyboard/mouse.

I'm consoled by the fact that JK Rowling's game is getting great reviews and is already a best seller. I can't wait for the day when we stop paying attention to the men in dresses.

I never thought i'd meet the guy who actually likes web bloat, and on HN of all places. I thought you were just a legend, like Kayser Soeze.

People who keep tabs perpetually open are strange. I'd like to observe their browsing habits to find out they actually use the web. When i'm done with a website, I close the tab. I sometimes meet people who have 100+ tabs open and

I think you're describing the Ian Knot[1] or the Secure Ian Knot[2] I use the first for apron strings and draw strings, and the second for tying my shoes, and both knots are pretty much guaranteed to never come undone by themselves.

The same thing JK Rowling did to earn death threats- absolutely nothing except express mild skepticism.

Far be it from me to shill for Amazon, but I find that I can't go without 2-day shipping. Ebay is fine I guess, but I'd lose my mind if I had to wait a week for something. That makes the $140/yr worth it to me.

I wonder what exactly will happen when v2 hits the Arch main repo. Will my automated hourly backups (via the Borgmatic wrapper) just start throwing errors and stop working?

I didn't mind not being able to eat out at restaurants. I did mind redditors wishing death on people who expressed healthy skepticism about the government.

> What value does a local newspaper offer that, say, a subreddit for a city doesn't offer? I live in a city that's majority non-white and at least 50% conservative. The subreddit for my city is 99% white and hyper-leftist. At l

Is there a way to feed your list of subscribed Youtube channels into an rss reader without having to add each of them manually?

You can't expect them to actually read news articles while they're sharpening their pitchforks. They've only got two hands.

You say that, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I believe that everyone is gripped by panic when they know they're about to die. I don't care how enlightened you are, we all fear death above all else. That, I think, is th

In that case, [:print:] instead of [:alnum:] will include all printable characters. Although I'm pretty sure I've met websites that require brackets and ampersands but will reject, say, periods and underscores, because web develop

If "not being an irresponsible sociopath" is a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder then just call me Harry Handwasher.

Sounds like another scientific study that reddit will celebrate while ignoring other scientific studies that make them uncomfortable.

You mean as opposed to letting it sleep/hibernate? A computer running (and not sleeping) while you're asleep or at work is a waste of energy.

Doesn't it drive you crazy to lose your work whenever X11/Wayland crashes, or you have to kill your display server to diagnose a problem, or you accidentally close a terminal window? tmux preserves everything for you unless you ex
