Do you genuinely there's several times more MAUs deliberately using "backspace for back" than literally any other keyboard shortcut? It seems obviously implausible to me.

I think this is a case like high/low granularity or bi/semi- annual where either directions are sometimes used mean either meanings.

The linked paper literally just says "(assume the default IME app does not have these problems)" in it without justification. This thirdparty IME concern seem really more relevant for e.g. Japan being worried about it's citiz

Fair enough, I was just imagining more like a Tuktuk with a single front wheel. But yeah, that kind of design seems more like what an Alienware electric car might be rather than an Apple one.

I think a 3 wheel car is just pragmatically worse than a 4 wheel one. It would also be "uncool" which would make it really far off-brand for Apple. If it's intended to take you on roughly the same trips that a normal car is (

I'm surprised by the claim that he's known for Brave and that Brave will be remembered. Outside of HN-types I don't think Brave is known literally at all, much less who is involved in the project.

I think this separation falls down badly in some cases: after someone claims a method worked but it's a dubious model, you can't possibly reproduce their results then there's no way to know that their model actually even work

The very straightforward counterargument is that sloc counts non-comment html lines as code-lines. The challenge is "trick sloc into considering something that it counts as code to not counting it as code".

It's interesting the same way any other code golf is interesting: artifical constraints breeds creativity. This sort of thing actually does have real-world applicability though: eg security issues caused by different parsing by a valid

Ive used both pronunciations of "gyros" and in my experience it's concretely better in the US to use the "wrong" one. As in, if you say it "yeeros" some servers won't know what you're talking abo

What are these "other forms of media" though? Video streaming didn't suddenly come into existence when we got to 3g, it was already common on wired internet and only became accessible on cellular internet.

I'm not so sure about the Canada parallel: Canada has GDP per capita closer to the US, Latvia is much lower (but still much higher than Latin America and China so I'm not sure what other case would be similar).

I just checked and if you want to be technical it's "move to normally, could move to during a capture if a piece was there, or holds a piece you could capture". Pawns are the only case that where those three are different but

What are you referring to? "Red flag" does not appear to have any racial etymology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_flag_(idiom)

There's a 'fog of war' variant where you can only see the squares that a piece of yours could move to.

It doesn't seem to be that large of an online following: it's supported on the main chess sites but not as one of the top default modes.

If it's hypocritical for rich people to advocate socialism, and just self-serving theft for a poor person to advocate socialism, then no one can advocate it in good faith? I think your quotes are a bit strawmanning: they are good respo

This is a common complaint but I don't really understand it: American healthcare doesn't really seem to need to be "more diverse" than Nordic healthcare to me.

Is it even the case that you are legally protected when you inform you coworkers that they have constitutional rights? I would have assumed only informing them of workplace rights specifically would be protected.

I don't think it's so black and white: the "security tool" is a chrome extension for sending notices to employees about the site they are visiting. An analogous situation seems like if the company had a big cork board fo

The computers are much better than even the best humans though by several hundred rating points (as in, the world #1 would still lose 90+% of their games). The engines being so strong makes the anticheat detectors job easier to statisticall

by esrauch 6y ago
I believe what happens is most people are 800-1200, many of them decide to cheat at some point rise quickly a few hundred points and them are banned. To be higher rated than maybe 1600 or so you've played more games which also gives mo

Right: the comment I replied to was saying that they don't think the 30% cut is fair since the user paid for the OS. I was just pointing out that doesn't seem to check out since they didn't actually pay for the OS (if it&#x27

I have the most experience in the greater Boston area, but a spattering all over the US (but maybe to/from airports is a biased sample too). Note that I've also had a lot of responses that they are "retired" but also say

It's anecdotal but I always chat with my Uber drivers and nearly 100% of them are driving full time. I assume it's a "most rides are driven by a full-timer, most drivers are part timers" situation. I don't really se

I'm confused by the "needed money for healthcare that would never be covered by universal insurance", are you sure such costs wouldn't be covered by NHS or similar had you lived in another country?

I don't think it's expecyed the errors would be random: that the polling errors are correlated and not random is something that Nate Silver talks about at length as part of the key interpretation error that others made in 2016.

I would have presumed the perceived gap was "yesterday we were using Julian, today we'll use Gregorian" (or Gregorian v0 to v1). Instead the article suggests it is "before today Julian and Gregorian both existed and were

I disagree that it's counterproductive or irrelevant anyway. In the near term it's inconceivable that someone that isn't R or D will win Maine even with RCV, it will solely allows voters to additionally indicate support for a
