   Insulting yourself might have been your intent, but what you wrote is just a general ageist insult. It's like you when you fail something, and you make a racist analogy. You might want to insult yourself, you might think you are insult

   Archive.org seems to work well as proxy for tfd. add tfd = http://web.archive.org/web/2026if_/https://www.thefreedictio... as a search engine. (This is our internet now.)

   I don't get it? Isn't this how "tl;dr" posts work? I've read it, I've found it a waste of time, so I gave a warning/summary so people coming after me know what to expect? Am I doing it wrong?

   tl;dr: - play-time and clean-up-time are 2 dimensions of toys, and you can use these dimensions when you are considering to buy a toy - author likes magnetic building toys (???) - amazon ref links to buy those magnetic building toys

   I'm amazed how both wayland and x11 miss the logical solution: let the user decide. Any function that is a threat should be behind capabilities. A program should be able to request moving its windows. The user should ultimately decide

    There will be more atomic C in the upper layers of the Earth if you dig deep and pump out natural gas. How long will the C atoms in those "stable product" stay there? Burning wood is clean energy: it does not increase the number o

    I guess I feel safer when a program returns true data, and timestamp mangling and moderator mangled posts scare me.

    BTW HN also mangles with your submissions/posts in your name. They change the date, and the submission text, while keeping your name. While I don't think it has a high risk of causing anyone any harm, I kinda hate it, like I DID N

    No. It might, depending on what your browser does, but it's not in the web standard. But you can have a button that saves your state when you enable javascript, and doesn't save your state (but still works) when you disable javasc

    I don't think that JS does any preloading. When I open the front page and I click somewhere it loads normally for me, and it downloads the whole page content, after my click (desktop, Firefox).

    It's possible to have a 3-states CSS switch/slider that controls site theme. Google it or ask AI assistant.

    Yes, opening random pdfs especially in random and old pdf viewers is not a good idea. If you must open a possibly infected pdf, then do it in browser, pdf.js is considered mostly safe, and updated.

    Oh right, it seems to be allowed. I don't know then. I can open up a terminal with a python and paste it really fast, faster than run it in my head.

    That's cheating (even if it just assures you that your answer is correct)

    In normal mode the question is different than in reader mode, or when copied. Thus, if you get the wrong answer, you "cheated" (or used reader mode)

    No, it needs to read the entire executable in order to be correct, it can't skip anything. Therefore the time for the IO must be a lower bound, predictive branching can't help that.
