   In this case it feels like the baby turned into a corpse some time ago from being left in the rancid bath water for too long.

   Interestingly Civ runs fine for me and looks good handheld, but it all falls apart when docked.

   Crafting is absolutely everywhere, as is some kind of level up system (attributes/skills/perks/traits/etc...).

   Presumably because organisations are just groups of people and in this case a bunch of Chinese people contributed to the code. The top contributor is located in Beijing according to their GitHub profile.

   Nope, never watched any of the conspiracy videos. I did however watch quite a few of MrBallens videos, specifically all the cave/diving ones, they are just great stories.

   I used to have the same experience of YouTube recommending just more of whatever I just watched, and at most recommendations would stick around for 6 weeks before it forgot about a subject. That was until earlier this year when I watched so

   I agree that removing the dislike count was dumb, but why would it have anything to do with quality? It's "dislike" as in "not like", not "low quality". I hit that button if I don't like the video for

   My recommendations have been filled with crazy conspiracy stuff for months just because I watched some caving/diving disaster videos styled like camp fire stories. I have tried marking videos as not interesting and blocking channels, b

    Checklists with copy paste commands are used some places, but it really requires that the team maintaining the process feels like they are getting value out of them for the checklists to be kept up to date. One place I worked we had detaile

    Hacker News is full of political discussions all the time. In fact politics usually gets some of the most comments.

    I really regret updating. Now my photos are locked in Adobe’s cloud and I have to pay monthly to not lose them. I mostly did photography while travelling and Covid killed that the last two years, but I still had to pay Adobe.

    Davinci Resolve has a much better UI than Premiere, and the thought out workflow that’s built in is great.

    The Lightroom subscription is particularly painful because not only did Lightroom move to a subscription, they also “updated” it to a version with fewer features. I really want to move off Lightroom, to something that doesn’t change a subsc

    I don't think there's anything a 22 year old copy of Fireworks can do that can't be done in other newer apps, but I feel like that's kinda irrelevant. Some people would rather spend their time learning how to do somethin

    To me it looked like they didn't have anything technical against Envoy, they just didn't want to be dependent upon someone else for what is a core part of their product anymore. Which is entirely reasonable and a good idea.

    To be honest, these comments here on hacker news is the first time I have ever heard about the concept of cashier's checks. If someone had tried to hand me one of those for something expensive I was selling before today I would have th

    I don't see why that would be any more trustworthy, How do I know if the bank is trustworthy and is going to honor it? I literally had one of the big banks in Australia steal several thousands from me by "loosing" paperwork i

    yep, I have seen one check when I was like 7 and have absolutely zero confidence that I would be able to tell a real one from a fake. I don't think my bank even does checks. It doesn't do physical branches either, so how would I e

    I don't believe there is anything obvious about it. I think the way W3 lays out information is likely better for beginners. And MDN is likely better for the average professional developer. So the question is who makes the most searches

    I used W3.css some time ago to make a basic website [1] for making it easier to find rules while running a pen and paper role playing game. [1] https://www.cardflip.asia/

    I think this is spot on. I am a back-end developer, so any front-end dev I do is on hobby projects, and for that w3schools pretty much has the answers needed to get things done. For back-end related stuff like headers or response codes I d

    All css frameworks really should prefix their classes so you can mix them. And I hope that Google keeps showing them in search results, because while MDN is great for in-depth information, most of the time I just need a quick reference of c

    I would say they haven't changed much over the years, but I always quite liked them for just getting answers to simple things fast. MDN is of course fantastic, but generally requires more reading/scrolling and is therefore slower

    Nope, it's possible to control the notifications to a much better degree than any of the other options allows. I could see Discord as made for power users where Slack and Teams would be aimed at casuals. But I do think that Discord doe

    Discord is just way more polished. Everything works reliably every time. The voice channels are flawless, even when there's people on shitty internet connections. The client is always responsive and snappy. Their design of how the serv

    I wish we used Discord for work. It’s superior to Slack, MS Teams and googles chat thing by far.

    With those other things zero is zero, but with arrays the zero index is the first item. The disconnect really starts when you get the size of an array and then have to minus it by one to have the last index. To take your ruler example and a

    Less scary than relying on ATC in the US. If you start reading accident reports from the US for GA then it’s its surprisingly frequent that the conclusion is pilot should not have listened to ATC. I think it’s to do with the privatised ATC
