Is there a single-word descriptor for languages that depend on so much syntax just to get going? Pascal, C, ALGOL, D, etc. Verbose, maybe, but that's not as fun as some of the catchy words there are to insult languages that aren'

Chording input devices hardly count as keyboards. It's not even that it's fast, it's that it's an entirely different paradigm of input. Stenography is an entirely different skillset than typing. According to its website,

A deposition without evidence quite literally is hearsay, under the proper definition of hearsay. I'm not playing a lawyer, I'm pointing out that "He said, she said," is literally nothing for a court of law to use.

Submissions can't be downvoted on Hacker News, only comments. The site does fuzzing of posts it thinks are being fraudulently voted up.

The way that guilt works in the US is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Hearsay is nothing to convict a person with, especially not of something so serious as domestic violence. It's better safe than sorry when it comes to throwing

Allegedly strangling girlfriend. The document mentions no evidence of anything, let alone wounds, and even Techrights, everyone's favorite anti-GitHub conspiracy blog, hasn't posted any document mentioning any evidence, despit

Obvious mistake in comment that it is too late to edit: It quite literally is a plug and play device, because you have to use a cord. It was late when I wrote it.

The most disappointing part, in my opinion, is inside-out tracking. It's pretty unlikely they're going to pull it off better than Facebook has, and even Facebook's isn't amazing for certain uses; it limits your range of

The entire point of AWS is to avoid downtime at the expense of convenience and cash. There's no reason to use it if you're willing to sacrifice its reason for existence.

Don't use a "cloud" vendor then? Just use a VPS vendor.

It absolutely would be, and a lot of people get away with it quite well. It's more subtle than what you're thinking, though, because it doesn't mean just posting ads. It takes root in posting really good content, at least f

Those threads earn so few points they're barely worth mentioning. I'm talking about point-earning. Technical threads earn lots of points, and are in the scope of this discussion because of it. I will point out, though, that throwi

I derogatorily call this website "the orange website." That doesn't make it an echo chamber. For as many awful opinions on political topics or type systems there are on this site, there are people who object to them and com

A single downvote doesn't bury the comment. Multiple downvotes, however, do. A single downvote isn't even guaranteed to change a comment's placement.

"The point" is because it's fun to farm points. This is the same reason people play in competitive video games, or even why people posted videos of themselves online before there was a financial incentive to. It's fun

That's not exactly the truth. The majority of Hacker News users can't downvote, and because of that, you're almost certain to get more upvotes than downvotes, unless your comment has few redeeming qualities. The majority of H

To be honest, I’ve always had a problematic relationship with food. I always liked plain things — the year before college I lived mostly off of eating plain, microwaved bagels. At oriental restaurants I would always just order steamed whit

Markdown was designed to be human-readable; there's no need to support it at the protocol level or the implementation level. That said, I don't see this appealing to old users, either. IPFS kind of ruins the appeal.

You can absolutely use VR for more than short periods quite comfortably without getting fatigue and eyestrain, assuming you're not running at a low FPS and your tracking is accurate. I often use it for programming, and I'm able to
