Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If you're not copying code, you're just doing what everyone else does: Creating a loose derivative of something else. There's never been an original creative work.

Ah, yes, reading documents on a computer. A keyboard. Both of these are things that have never been done outside of the Apple ecosystem before Apple made their copies. I don't like Apple, but come on. Reading documents is what computer

Pretty much every company has been offering it for free for the past six years because of the GDPR. Worth keeping in mind in the future; never use a registrar that's more sketchy than normal.

I have to ask: If it wasn't for the freedom to share information, as is given by the Constitution, why'd you pick Epik? Their prices aren't particularly good, they don't really advertise themselves as having any features

While I'm sure there are digital editions for sale and probably a few physical copies at your local library, if it's being gouged, the guy's already dead, and his book is not one of the few hundreds of books on the internet t

His book has an even longer, more beautiful version of that joke. I highly recommend checking it out, he spends something like a chapter on the joke. It's executed like serious Russian literature, and makes how much he was butchering i

I think the point of the good ducktective's comment was to offer an alternative to people who don't like waiting hours for C++ to compile.

He did lose the court case. He got none of his desires met, none of the goals he set out with met, and wasted a lot of money. I'm not particularly sympathetic to his views, here, nor Apple, but if there was a "loser" here i

Still pretty simple: "Just like with flour, keep them in their own containers, and keep track of which container is which. If you lose track, bake something small as a test or test the cable by plugging it in."

Only if you're doing thin crust and don't mind a crunch; cake flour in pizza leaves the crust unchewy, which is a big downside if you wanted pizza like most people want pizza. Except people who live in Detroit, who are very happy

Sure is pretty plausible that the bigwigs of American media don't make stupid investments. It would be rational, even, if all of them had investments in technology. In fact, it's almost a sure thing that any of them with any i

HN does not have an edited tag and doesn't allow editing past a brief window (for both headlines and comments). Ones that are edited are invisibly edited: there's no notification that they have been, unless someone points it out

Why bother? I have multiple immediate family members that were affected and who aren't capable of coming back from it; I don't think they should get a reward if it means the Sacklers aren't pushed down with them. Doubly so gi

That's ideal, isn't it? No one gets a reward, but the criminals lose what they have. Instead, the criminals are basically getting rewarded.

My laptop has front speakers & a number pad. Keys you don't use need to be rebound until you use them.

No, the conclusion is that more buttons are always better. You can always customize a keyboard with minimal effort, unless you're on a really bad operating system, like any of the proprietary ones.

My favorite (and the one I find myself getting the most joy from using) is /, which I have bound to tangle and weave my currently-open project (dbus, yay) into /tmp, apply a stylesheet to the output of it, determine languages used

Southpaw here! I'd never buy a laptop without a number pad. The track pad being off-center is also good. Gaming? 78462 make for the best movement, and the number pad also has seven non-numerical buttons to bind things to. It also put

C and C++ were never weird. In fact, C was criticized when it was new for being a "baby" version of better languages. Their median user was intentionally not smart; it aimed for an entirely different demographic of user, the com
