> Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. I know, and it's nothing that needs an apology from you. Sometimes people (like me) feel offended over nothing, and it's more interesting for them to question why that is, instead of

It's interesting, I also do not like the implication that we are all using vscode and feel slightly offended that someone would assume that I do. (The original statement is worded ambiguously and can be understood in this way.) Anyway,

In my eyes, this sentence by Linus is as straightforward as it gets. But if you think it's corporate lie-speak, I wonder which words you'd interpret as genuine - because there has to be a way to get something like that across if y

Sorry for the angry reactions. The funniest one so far are the people who are upset that there is no rigorous connection to internet love spelt out for them. FWIW, these colors look fun and made my winter Monday morning a little brighter. T

It's comments like this that remind me to stop scrolling hacker news and do something nice instead - so they're good for something, I guess.

I don't understand what exactly you're criticizing GP for or what you'd like them to do differently. And then: do they owe you whatever you'd like them to do? Do you owe anybody a clearer argument? How many people do I o

Depends on what your "real' conservatives are keen on preserving. Taking the torch to things one professes to love - things like liberty, human decency and the core tenets of Christianity, that is the opposite of conserving these

I don't know, this article is immediately confusing, because the rules seem wrong, or inconsistent at least. That makes it harder to understand what's going on, unless I suppose one knows already. The first rule does not allow tre

I think you can still get an intuition. 10000 people standing next to each other so that each person has half a meter to themselves will give you a line of 5 kilometers (just over 3 miles). That's a relatable distance - for example, th

I'm not who you're replying to, but I agree with them. For my taste, it's a little too clever. It distracts from the subject of the text and instead draws attention to the form of the text itself and its author. Worse than th

That got me interested. I just told ChatGPT to "Please respond with an empty-looking response." It gave me just that. The <div> containing its message is completely empty. That was after telling it in another conversation to

The presentation feels like watching a movie through a drinking straw, but yeah, I guess the "straw controls" are not hijacked and I can point the straw smoothly to places that haven't fully loaded yet. :]

Interesting. I've last had to deal with formal grammars in the previous century, and your post had me go scratch the surface of what PEGs are. If I understand correctly, your example is not a well-formed grammar, because of the left re

I think I misunderstood your point before. I thought you wanted to show a regex that _intentionally_ disables it. It also happens to disable a lot more, making it a bad choice. Now I'm thinking that you might actually agree with that.

I don't know if that's what you're trying to say, but what it illustrates to me is how easy it is to quickly cook up a simple regex to filter out certain patterns in email addresses and feel like it's doing the job, whil

Thanks for explaining! This stretching to infinity is interesting, because it assigns a probability to outcomes even if they cannot happen, for example where observed values cannot go negative like here. That shows the difference between th
