Well, I threw together a solution really fast that looks like this. https://postimg.cc/image/5ejd5qmzh/ It doesn't override your windows snap behaviors. To do that specifically I'd have to hook into wind

I mean, I'd happily charge 100$ an hour to write this for someone, but to set up a web page / stripe or whatever / splash webpage, bleh. Something in me wants the a solution I sell to take more effort to create than the check

I used to love writing stuff like this back in highschool, when I "knew" c++. Now, if you were one of my customers I'd just write you an autohotkey script to solve your problem. Monetizing 20 line AHK scripts seems sketchy, s

I get the impression the guy above you is grey because people disagree with him more than him being off topic, or not adding to the discussion. I'm going to try my hand at going even more off topic. Not just to dick with people, but th

That's an unrealistic forward standard as society is now. There's more money to be made eroding your ownership of your own thoughts and ideas than there is societal will to defend you. We've graduated from an "informatio

This is what happened to my father about thirty years ago. While he was naive about a lot of things and didn't have good legal representation, he knew enough to refuse to plead guilty. The "compromise" that prosecutors arrive

I was thinking a bit more on this today. Specifically If a moon did this past earth and assuming it was made out of something that wouldn't just break apart in our atmosphere. The amount compression on the air around you might set you

Sorry if I brought you down. Despondent is where I tend to go when I prognosticate. There's nothing sacred when it comes to people making money.

I'm not talking about forgeries, I'm talking about paying artists to ghost draw for you, and coming up with flowery language to obfuscate, but not defraud the fact it is a "re-imagining". Think the albums released by Tup

Wouldn't it be a spooky experience to stand on one moon, and have another pass close enough for you to touch it? If they were of similar mass my intuition is that you'd go weightless while it was happening. Might be best to be har

Right? And even if I took the guy at his word that it's 100% the religion.. I happen to like the First Amendment. I think all of it's previsions are good in spirit and in practice. To try and win an election specifically by rallyi

You can't imagine some marketing firm deciding to call new works "Effluvia, by Pablo Picasso"? No arguing it wouldn't have the value of an original, but I'd wager everything it would sell for more than the same thin

Once most movies have digital reconstructions of dead actors, identity will lose meaning and I think we'll start seeing new works by picasso.

As long as we don't blow ourselves up first, these tend to be cognitively self correcting when exploited at scale. Would something like the hysteria caused by the "war of the worlds" radio broadcast be possible to reproduce t

If it hasn't already happened, the internal policies will devolve to removing anything it determines will lead to violence. I have no strong opinions on this.

At the moment, it is better on Mac, but who the hell knows how long until the touch bar is repurposed as a billboard to sell you a subscription to WWE's streaming service or whatever the fuck. Sweet monkey lord indeed. I used to be one

For me it's not about the space, but this kind of thing infuriates me too. I'm struggling to articulate a concise way to describe why practices like this upsets me so much. When I fall victim to things like this, I feel like compa

By request, I've done this for friends and family a few times. Few users bother because it's made arbitrarily difficult so as to seem dangerous to many non IT professionals. Sony has been getting more and more aggressive shoveling

Lets not forget the Meiji Restoration! When it started Samurai walked around the streets armed with katanas. Japan was extremely isolated and had little to no industry. No railroads, no exports.. In ~30 years they put down 11,000 KM of rail

Jeez man. I'd like to remind you that I live on the same planet you do. I'm slave to the same physics and I go through similar struggles. If I am skeptical of something you believe, that does not mean I am in denial. I hope you ca

I value perspectives like yours specifically because they are different than mine. I hope you stick around. My only other suggested shibboleth is to try and avoid barbs in your posts. "I didn't elaborate on my train of thought bec

No offense taken. To be honest, HN is often very receptive to controversial ideas, but there's certain unwritten shibboleths. You break one by effectively saying "I think chem-trails are to blame" without more foundation. Tha

On its face, you're casually suggesting vapor trails from aircraft as the cause of Europe's CO2 shortage. Rather than elaborate on your chain of thought, you go right towards predicting distopia. I'm guessing your image isn&#

I'd describe it more as a palpable malaise. Teams feel like they're on islands 1000 miles apart from one another. You can feel it in the air the moment you enter any organization like this (if you know what the other side feels li

I like the points you're making. The proportion of us who aren't convinced by this zeitgeist's most promoted fears is larger than it seems. I'm not willing to consider a bot swarm to be human though, just a new human too

Certain contexts DO allow Laymen authority to determine the legality of things. Juries and voting come immediately to mind. Conversationally, saying "I think this is illegal" instead of "this is illegal" freely surrender

Yeah, that's dirty. I hate to be an apologist for this kind of thing, but this vulnerability is in the same time zone to me as saying mysql2 has a critical vulnerability if attackers get access to connection.query's first argument
