You can move without disconnecting, you have to "drag" instead of move. Press G. Last time I tried it it just created a ratsnest of random angles wires though so you still have to fix them all one by one. That's also why I di

AnonC doesn't seem to be upset that the journalist was fired. The disappointment comes from Ars trying to brush this entire situation away by deleting articles, comments, and making no statement on their website.

The irony here is that news.ycombinator.com has a 1 second TTL. One DNS query per page load and they don't care, yay!

The answer is that it's not okay and never was. Do you really think you're pulling a gotcha here? Photoshopping nudes of your coworkers was always seen poorly and would get you fired if the right people heard about it. It's j

Another explanation for the lack of faces online could be that most of us in the 90s simply didn't have an easy way of getting our photos online. Webcams weren't ubiquitous yet, digital cameras were shit and expensive, phone camer

Those modern terminal projects have weird defaults and quirky behaviors just to be different. So to me it's easy to believe that a user expects something to work a certain way, does minimal or no research about it, and go directly to r

The medical profession is not open about any kind of self diagnosis. I've learned through experience that telling a doctor "I have X and I would like to be treated with Y" is not a good idea. They want to be the ones who came

That's more of a GTK problem than a python one. It sucks on all platforms that isn't Linux. In my experience apps using pyqt5/6 have a much nicer interface and cross platform experience.

Funny how nobody has actually addressed your question, choosing to praise rust instead.. The answer is that there are several python GUI applications (a dozen music players, Cura, Calibre, Anki, Deluge, etc). Hardly any Go because all bindi

The A line is still a competitive midrange (at least when on sale) and if you enjoy the pixel experience there's nothing wrong with it at all. However the regular pixel or the pro haven't been competitive in several years. This ye

> 4GiB of completely uncompressed 1080p video in memory is only 86 frames How is that data stored? Because (2^32)÷(1920×1080×4) = 518 which is still low but not 86 so I'm curious what I'm missing?
