I'm confused how you came to this conclusion. Tim Cook donated millions of dollars to Trump personally, and Republican policies are extremely pro-big-tech so it makes sense that they would support each other. Anti-worker policies like

No images. No reposting. No (public) popularity contest stats. A general vibe against politics posting. There's just not much here to attract the worst kinds of behavior.

For firm & hard cheeses, the bad molds very rarely penetrate the surface. If you get some questionable looking mold on the outer surface, you can cut off the outer couple of mm and enjoy the remainder just fine. For rustic/home mad

Agreed. I find for myself, for a blog post that is about something else I've done, the ideal length is about 5 paragraphs and it should take no more than an hour to write. Longer than that and it just doesn't get done, or it sho

I'm sorry for shitting on your job, but it seems like the solution is to bring back the buttons we had in the 80s and 90s and drop all the software garbage? I don't want a UI, I want an On button.

If all you want to do is match against a sequence of bytes, sure. But when you want to start providing features like case-insensitivity, matching against file extensions, globbing, etc, then you have to declare what a given byte sequence ac

UTF-8 is common now, but it hasn't always been. Wanting support for other encoding schemes is a valid ask (though, I think the OP was needlessly rude about it).

by coldpie 2y ago
Can you elaborate on what's going on here? Something like "fd" is assuming your filenames are UTF-8, but you're actually using some other encoding?
