You can always choose to keep your share (slightly) under 90% to prevent such rules from triggering, so I don't see a problem with them.

You need to give some serious references for that.

Yes, and I still get lost in it, it's one of Emacs' most confusing features.

Message editors on BBSes were quite similar to ed. Even more limited since you didn't have the substitution command.

Not a true war story but I used to use "open mode" in vi a lot when on a 1200 baud modem. It's like a line-based visual mode; if you have a smart but slow terminal, you can move around in the current line with h and l etc., b

Oh, multilevel undo was something that was not hard to fathom and that I yearned for for years. It was the concept of a composite action (edit, move to somewhere else, edit something) while not leaving insert mode that just didn't fit

In vi (as opposed to vim), you can't just move around in insert mode. An insert/append/change action is limited to one continuous string; the undo mechanism also cannot handle anything more than that. It was pretty mindblowin

I don't know how I could have been more clear, sorry.

Maybe it should. Chisels can be dangerous.

It is very ironic that HTTP code 451 was originally added so it could be used to mark censorship (i.e., forced upon the publisher by legal means), but now it is almost exclusively used by sites that want to set cookies in a way that doesn&#

I see the first item as a plus (it's why I pay them a little); it certainly shouldn't impede good reporting. Looks like the science department is a bit thinly staffed though.

At least it forces you to find and read the documentation.

That sounds like uncalled-for negativity. Is the Guardian really known for bad science reporting?

It's showing for me now, so apparently there was some kind of temporary problem, maybe busy servers indeed.

I'm getting "Something went wrong. Please try again later." (both latest FF and Chrome). I don't think HN can slashdot Google yet, any ideas?

Which ones do, and what alternative do they offer then?

That is what I was thinking: either the car has built-in GPS now, or people use their phone with Google Maps or another nav app, and I haven't heard of those offering custom voices.

The UN is not the most effective and corruption-free organization I know of.

Are custom navigation prompts still a thing?

Sounds like a lot to me.

Well, maybe because I wasn't born there, but they're not always in the most obvious locations to me.

This is the case for most programmers in Europe. {, |, and similar are more important than accented characters, but you do need accents a few times a day. And it's easy to get used to.

Your comment is useless if you do not specify which OS and keyboard layout you are using, or which mapping utility. This is absolutely not standard everywhere.

In most European languages you will want to type an occasional é, ä or ø. Preferably without having to remember character codes, and with logical keyboard combinations.

On Windows, I'm fairly happy with the "Pseudo VT320" layout from https://keyboards.jargon-file.org/ . All added characters and accents are via AltGr dead keys, so it's not in the way of normal programmin

That's normal. CRTs emit a faint sound at just under 16kHz, which is in hearing range for most children but not most adults as the upper end of this range naturally decreases with age. The article is about radio frequency electromagnet

I am an ING customer in the Netherlands and have never heard of those things, so I doubt their commonness.

No. Until I read the comment above, I had no idea that that even was something people actually use to make payments from home.

Fair enough, there's something to say for both sides. When using an IDE, I do often launch into the debugger immediately. Then again, using printf means you start out with a service that already logs all requests; you can commit that c
