> there is no common fallback font that is used by all systems (win, osx, linux, android ...) as a default. Again, meaningless. Why should there have to be a common fallback font?

Tokyo, yeah. It's former governor Ishihara's prestige play that he pushed for years and years. I don't know any normal people that actually wanted it. And since it was decided there's been scandal after scandal about the

I just finished porting a very non-standard and highly customized Ant setup to Gradle, and the thought of now potentially rewriting the Groovy implementation in Kotlin isn't making me jump for joy. (No, rewriting wouldn't be stric

Yes, it was changed since I posted my comment. "Penises" used to be "male genitalia".

The linked article's title is "Why do all old statues have such small penises?". Why was the word "penises" censored on HN? Edit: It's now been changed. It used to say "male genitalia" instead of &quo
