   I'm glad you caught on it was supposed to be praise haha. If someone threw my speech patterns on the table and started dissecting them, I'd probably stop speaking entirely ;) It is praise; you are my favourite speaker. A lot of wh

   I rarely miss Linux, but I liked being able to have compose keys, most of which were very logical and fast to type. Now on MacOS, I either have to know the option (alt) combination or long press, which makes my writing with accents way slow

   Oh cool, I hadn't heard that term until you mentioned it. Apparently the name was in flux in the early days. The Wikipedia page for Sans Serif has an interesting footnote: > master sign-painter James Callingham writes in his textboo

   I forgot to mention that it was just audio! With video, it was even harder and I never ended up releasing anything further.

   I wonder if speaking fast is a problem in and of itself. Bryan Cantrill's talks are some of the best around, and he talks very fast. For other speakers, I usually put them at 1.5x speed. It seems to me that the problem isn't speak

    I agree, but it is funny to me that your Hacker News comment is itself a table. It's in the same vein as "don't freak out, but there's a spooky skeleton inside you!"

    I've never liked shell scripting. Last year, I switched my build system of a Rust project over to Python (Cargo is actually quite limited as a build system). For a newer project, I'm using Rust itself with the XTask pattern. I&#x2

    Thanks, that evaded me. The discontinuous {please, don't} seems to catch a bit more, though that wasn't my direct intention. It's just that if a mod's comment has both words, it's probably expressing the same thing.

    I (the comment writer), agree that it's jarring and a bit obnoxious. There were three factors that led me to write it anyway, which I've mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46209137 Edit: Rereadin

    It's the first time I've ever commented that, and I was trying to figure out a way to omit it. I don't like that sort of phrase either, I especially hate comments that just go "This.", but they're rare on HN so

    This is the correct answer. If you're curious about what other sorts of things are disallowed by common law, look at dang and tomhow's comments that say "please don't": dang: https://hn.algolia.com/?
