Or I interpret it in the context it is used, referring to poor countries as third world. All this outrage about my remark is triggering my sense of irony. Too bad I'm social drinker only. PS: congrats to the gp who edited his comment.

I can come up with list of words that were coined with some intention and gained another. Why a term was created has nothing to do with how it is used and the gp comment wasn't in the context of the cold war history.

Does your framework have any accessibility features? I'm a screen reader user and having responsive UI is wonderful as far as it is accessible at all.

There are some people who do an account per post, but doing something like that and like what you do assumes a thread model which I don't share. Who is the one who would start making profiles based on HN? What might they aim for? What

Good Omens had one of the most eye-opening introductions to old british currency on the level of monoids and endofunctors. Since then I'm avoiding both.

The article assigns significance to the language when the real work is done by the libraries. And many good libraries inspire even more good libraries. At that moment the language no longer matters. But it matters in the beginning when peop

What you will do as individual won't matter. Every company is big enough to survive without an employee and being the exception you won't change anything in their future behaviour. The ideal case would be if job offers are binding

Every rule that is worth breaking will be broken as fast as humanly possible. People will be killed outside of the dueling rules, will be challenged for stupid reasons, or their seconds will be bribed to cover the unfair duel circumstances.

Win10, NVDA, no braille. Only difference with the chromium browsers that I've observed is that initially pages take half a second more to load, but it is likely due to the different adblockers I have installed.

I'm writing this comment with a screen reader on firefox. Not sure what your issues are, but the accessibility has been rather stable for me after they fixed the quantum disaster.

Just a note, HN edits out "why", "how" and the like from the start of submitted titles as they are usual indicators of a clickbite title.

Maybe not clear from my comment, but I'd say that many of the new generations are also disappointed by the post-communist governments, so you can't blame it all on the retirees.

Your answer is only part of the truth. Though Russia had lots of welwishers in Bulgaria, the heavy indoctrination happened during the communist rule 1945-1989. Many people whose best years were during this period are still alive and many ar

Just a conjecture, but poems have rhythm rules and if two words are supposed to rhyme, you can guess where the stress should be. Not sure how it is done in reality though.
