I don't see why being upset that a monsoon ruined your life requires magical thinking.

I don't think it's a tautology to say HN's users are mostly male because the group it draws from is mostly male. There's room for competing theories like some quality unique to the website. To put my thought in bad ASCII

Someone suggested Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking , which is by Susan Cain. Your point stands, though. HN's userbase is massively male-a survey a few years ago put it at 94% [0]. This is presumab

I suspect the global illumination is running at a lower refresh rate than the rest of the scene for performance. I've seen other Godot demos that don't have this jerkiness.

I'm 100% sure I fall under "nerd" as pg uses it--if you'd asked a random student in my year to name a nerd, it would've been me--and that's why I have trouble connecting with these stories. Neither I or my Acad

In addition to the other problems GP describes, top-level literature classes should not include "less-verbal learners."

Interesting essay. Not to pry, but how old are you? pg went to high school in the 80s, and as someone who attended more recently, most of his points read like artifacts of the time--something with more resemblance to a John Hughes movie tha

As long as consumers trust Amazon and don't trust the merchants, it doesn't matter. They have to use Amazon anyway. This is presented as a strategic problem for Amazon, but it isn't.

Fast response news and 24 hours news are different things. "Fast response" also covers things like Twitter, which, while rife with its own problems, is at least theoretically capable of giving you an immediate, succinct news bulle

"pictures" and "pictures without color" show that it does get some of these, although not the way I expected.

Ideally games would have native Linux versions. Practically, no one did this before Wine/Proton because the Linux market is so small and bug-prone, so the choices are Proton or no games at all.

Funny, but not very fair: presumably a Windows VM with the lower core count would work as well.

That seems non-comparable. Google and Microsoft have a lot of value in IP and mindshare, plus various monopolies. American and Delta (for example) are 100% fungible.

You're not differentiating between an iterative design process, during which failures are expected, and a monolithic one where the end product is final. When Starships blow up, Musk can build new ones and try again. When the probe cras

Simulation is not the same as trial and error. There's no such thing as a perfect simulation, and imperfect simulations without real world testing and iteration result in disasters. There are many examples, but the Mars probe that cr

If the fix is buried in a comment or lower answer, far fewer people will see it, especially on the ossified, highly-voted answers where it's often needed. Difficulty moderating proposed edits is a process problem, and comments aren&#x2

Sadly you're right. This is Apple's fault: they refuse to allow alternate browser engines on iOS, so iOS "Firefox" is really a Safari web view with some Firefox buttons on it. Chrome and other browsers have the same prob

Really? Huh. I'm surprised other people's experiences have been so different. There are tons of forum complaints about the problems I've had. There's even an official faq about all the tabs going blank [1], which tells y

I tried it on a Galaxy Tab s5e and an LG v35, which have last year's mid-range Qualcomm chip and 2018's high-end chip respectively. On the v35 loading was slow, and sometimes it would crash or make all my tabs blank until restarte

I was using Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin, and I found that Chrome with no adblocking was a better experience. Page loads, scrolling, zooming, and the other interactions were so slow they counteracted the advantage. That said, new Firef

With Preview or with stable? Preview has a couple of minor bugs, like radio button popups that don't go away when I switch tabs, or the "undo close tab" toast not disappearing, or downloads resulting in empty files sometimes.

This is not a substantive comment. What context do you think justifies Boeing's higher price here?
