Your pointing to that component of science that is commonly underappreciated in the public reception: mutual review. Be it in the form of replication, criticism or peer review. Science is a social activity. So cooking things up in a kitchen

These aren't mutually exclusive but rather well aligned goals. I find it odd to ask whether any non-monetary goals are "truly" their goals. They are a listed company. Of course they want to make profit. But they do so in part

No need to talk about jdownloader in past tense. It is still actively developed and I prefer it over youtube-dl most of the time, because it is way faster due to use of multiple connections.

You're correct that this does not bring up the current path. Unfortunately it's too late for me to edit. Cmd+Opt+C on the other hand does not copy the current path into my clipboard.

You can bring up the path and change it with Shift+Cmd+G when you need it.

I'm genuinely curious what you hate about Finder. What makes you think it tries to pretend that there is no file system? I personally love Miller Columns and the lack of them in any other file browser is one of many things keeping me f

Wow. It really needed this response to the xkcd comic for the vision of Matrix to click with me. Matrix just went from "just another messenger who happens to have bridges to others" to "possibly the only communication softwar

I believe you are right. Shift+Ctrl+Power shuts off the display and it does so more reliably than Shift+Fn+Ctrl+Power. I guess I memorized it wrong.

To add some shortcuts that I use regularly but don't appear on the list: - Ctrl+Cmd+Space brings up a Unicode-Char-Picker - Shift+Alt+Cmd+V pastes from your clipboard without formatting from the source - Shift+Fn+Ctrl+Power shuts off t

The iOS version worked pretty well for a while, but some flaws kept me from using it regularly. If you miss to tick your daily routines, the next day you have no clue to whether you're looking at the tasks of yesterday or now. There ar

You're correct in the sense that this is what science is per Popperian definition. However, I would be careful to assume that many scientists are actually so busy refuting hypotheses. The Popperian ideal and the reality in science are

Well, we’re still neither arrested nor physically harmed, aren’t we? So our speech is still free. Ycombinator is not obliged to give our discussion a visible platform. Here’s the obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1357/

If it comes to being confronted with the question whether legalizing genocide is tolerable, you claim moral beliefs are so relative that you would not rely on them too much. If it comes to judging „what a truly tolerant person should do“ yo

Well, you found the flaw in their logic and by focussing on that, you kind of missed their point. Replace "legal" with "morally allowed“. Would you then tolerate the legalization of killing jews? I 100% agree that we as a mat

Interesting. The whole thread proves to me the exact opposite. That free speech is very alive since nothing here has been censored yet. The only way I can explain our disparate perceptions is that we're talking about entirely different

Well then be tolerant towards those who open the doorway to a totalitarian society. Period. See the paradox kicking in?

I don't think there is more danger to the existence of this command than to the existence of `rm -rf /` which I guess is more likely to be entered accidentally (though still very unlikely). People who can use the command line are

I use a 2013 MacBook Air and while I really like Vscode for its features, UI responses are constantly lagging. Native apps feel like they react an order of magnitude faster. It's ok, but "snappy" really is the last descriptio
