Declaring war on Ukraine is also a declaration of war. Putin started this and no matter what happens, world war 3, nuclear, whatever: Putin started it. Putin escalated it. He was already threatening nuclear if he doesn't get what he wa

I've given up coffee on and off, sometimes for many months at a time. I've never had any withdrawal effects, but I've never been completely coffee addicted either. I enjoy the taste and smell of coffee, but I try hard not to

Fun isn't a well defined, well understood thing. There's no quick and easy way to know if something will make the game more fun or not, you often have to guess and just try it out in a prototype. Fun is also subjective, so fun fo

I think the news is less "13 year old revolutionized medicine" and more "13 year old used ingenuity to create cool thing" . Or at least, that's how I think it should be read. Focusing too much on the end result i

While I get and support the intent, I don't like this usage of the name of the MIT license. I personally like the license because it tells me at a glance that I can use it for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, as long as the copyri

Its a similar itch as programming for fun , but often that becomes less fun after spending the entire day programming for money . Factorio is just different enough to still be fun and relaxing, even though its similar. Programming also co

And this is why I avoid Adobe products like the plague and why I paid the small once off payment for Affinity Photo for my photo editing needs instead. Fuck Adobe. But really, this is why I avoid subscription software as much as possible. I

My problem with bookmarking has always been that they quickly become just as unwieldy as not having things bookmarked, so finding a bookmarked item becomes really difficult. Plus I forget what I have bookmarked so when I want to read a thin

Sure, that's why I said that mine isn't. I know that's not the case for everyone, but it is for me and many people I know, at least. Its obviously not the case for everyone, many people will have a phone tied to an address, b

I agree, but at least with expensive clothing brands you may get something that might actually have some value. For example, someone gave me some branded clothing for christmas a few years ago, that I would never have bought myself, and it

I used to love GOOMWWM[1] and used it for the longest time. I miss a lot of things about it, still. It doesn't quite meet your requirements, looks-wise its very minimal and it doesn't have snapping, but I really liked the idea beh
