I don't really understand Pomodoro. When I'm at work, I'm constantly confronted by things not working (the dev environment) and using tools others wrote in an ad-hoc way. Any focus time is almost half spent diagnosing issues

I don't know why any particular person would do it, but I don't drink to sleep.

by claudiawerner 4y ago
I'm a heavy drinker and what I've read about alcohol and sleep says that it's bad for your sleep, in particular the quality of REM sleep. Anecdotally I can back that up with my own experience, as I drink before I go to sleep.

Not really, no. People can wear short skirts without being sexualized; it's a fashion preference like any other. Even so, I dispute the idea that sexuality or moe doesn't belong in the products of our labor. And moreso, I dispute

I don't see it as sexualized or fetishized at all. It's rather charming to see anime mascots these days rather than some soulless logo.

It's strange to assume that anime is for people who aren't middle agged men :)

As someone living in the UK I've never really felt the desire to make a 'company', but I would like to run a website some day, which permits user registrations. Something like a forum, which I wouldn't run for profit. Th

"Most terrible things at least some people love. That doesn't mean they're not terrible." 4chan, as a website, is far more varied than you think at first glance. Most people only hear about 4chan when "something hap

It could be my own bias, but I don't see HN as a particularly progressive place, at least as compared to, say, Reddit. Granted, it can be a good or a bad thing, but HN has a far wider spectrum of opinions that get upvoted; IME trans is

>This is probably going to get downvoted to oblivion, because nobody wants to confront the idea that we can _learn_ to want to be another gender. Did you really think this was going to be downvoted on Hacker News of all places?

Thanks for the last three links; it's interesting to see data analysis like that, even if I disagree on some of the presentation and the claim in the first link that even women readers dislike the presentation of women characters in bo

by claudiawerner 4y ago
A subreddit full of literally cherrypicked examples of men badly writing women characters doesn't say anything about the general case, never mind any particular case.

Why does it matter what gender the creator is?

I accidentally installed this on Gentoo once when I was looking for a decent CJK font. Little did I know, somehow it was set system-wide as the default CJK font, and I couldn't reverse it. I lived for about a year at my PC seeing all C

My comment was only in reference to the photoshoot set containing the document or the 'BDSM bear'; my point is that these alone feed into an outrage machine that goes nowhere. As for Volkova, I don't know enough to judge, but

Oh, I didn't know that. Looks like I was completely wrong about GNU APL. Thanks for the links.

by claudiawerner 4y ago
APL looks like a lot of fun, and I've tried to get into learning it for a while, but it's a shame that the most popular implementation is proprietary, and GNU APL is a dialect which is not as featureful and a separate dialect of A

It's worth looking at why people who are already on Twitter don't want to use Mastodon/Fediverse. The last time this topic came up on Twitter with Musk's first proposal to buy Twitter, several concerns were raised (and

I noticed that too! I wonder what's happening there. I searched the CSS and there's nothing like green in there... Anyone have clues as to what's causing the text within textboxes and such to be green?

That's a good point, and I agree - I only wanted to pick up on the point about 'cartoons'. As for whether realistic generated images with real human data sources would have a good effect, it certainly wouldn't have a goo

I've read some debates held between MPs in Hansard. I can't speak for any sizable portion, but what I did see on the topics I was interested in is a shockingly low form of discussion abound with fallacies, name-calling, and solici

While true, Nintendo in particular is known to be particularly bad with this topic unfortunately, to the point of demanding that people who host Lets Plays on Youtube to take their videos down.
