“Some day”, sure, but as we know the granting of personhood status doesn't formally happen until 2365, when Phillipa Louvois rules in the Brian Maddox case. And despite the success of that ruling, it still doesn't fully apply to a

Very cool to use initially, but then completely locks you out with a modal in your face demanding an email address. That is despicable and you should be ashamed.

In Tree Style Tab, you can shift-click to select a contiguous range of tabs and then use the right-click menu to close them all.

Isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume that it is “never” fun to play just because you don't find it fun?

It's a valid logic puzzle as it is, but I agree with you that calling it a “Sudoku” is a stretch for the reason you stated.

Better yet: make them quadratic Bézier curves (`q` in SVG paths) with the cell center as the control point. That removes all jaggedness and also prevents them from meeting at a point as you describe.

I understand that you might find the mathematical notation clearer but I think it's presumptuous of you to speak on behalf of all humans, or even all human mathematicians. I'm a mathematics graduate and I find the conditional oper

Benefit to whom? I only see a benefit to the companies and government here (saving money), but it seems to me that you've forgotten to consider the people.

I actually think it is easier overall for companies and government to provide services in multiple languages than for every individual to have to learn fluent English including businessese and legalese. It is also cheaper to hire some trans

You just wrote a lot of text just to say that you don't accept the simulation as “real”. That's just semantics. I'm not here to argue what the word “real” means. Of course you can define it in such a way that the simulated ai

No, the earliest I remember what Netscape Communicator, which included the whole suite of Navigator (browser), Composer (wysiwyg editor), Mail, and News (Usenet). That was basically the latest versions of Netscape before its downfall, not t

I can't speak for others, but for me it's not a matter of dividing people in the way you describe. It's more about deciding who my audience is. If I talk to someone about my latest programming project, the conversation is com

The article does not suggest an alternative. If I consider any typical real-life case where I would use else, trying to finagle the code into not needing else would make it smell considerably more.

I can top that. As a child I was a fan of a relatively unknown sitcom titled “Out Of This World” and I rediscovered it a couple years ago. It was truly surreal to hear Donald Trump mentioned in a show from 1987–1991. (American Psycho is fro

That's just a bug then. The tooltip should obviously just appear below the mouse, no matter how large it is, or it could just appear above the element instead of below.

On toolbars, text labels should be tooltips. And tooltips should show up without delay, so I can go through the icons at my own pace by just hovering over them. I feel that the idea that tooltips only show after a delay was a grave mistake,

However, “makes sense to me” and “feels comforting” has no bearing on whether it's true.

It seems to me that this ascribes an existence to “I” that is separate from the brain; with no evidence for this existence, that makes it mystical/magical thinking, a.k.a. superstition.

Personally, my answer to “why am I me” is similar to the anthropic principle. If you were anyone else, you would be asking the exact same question, and if you were nobody, you would not be able to ask the question. By asking the question, y

I'm really lucky because I have a good and cheap print shop close by. So I never felt the need to buy a printer. The only inconvenience is having to physically go there, but the upsides are numerous. No worrying about toner or paper. H
