I lived several decades knowing only the standard set of knots (square, granny) that every six-year-old knows. Recently, due to Scouts, learned more and I can't believe how often I use them. "Dryer's busted! My DIY laun

Or maybe use a friend! "Hey joe, please proofread literally everything I post on the internet! It's your job after all!" ;-)

I interpreted GP's message as "We used to lean-on and learn-from our friends, families, and coworkers, and insodoing we ourselves improved in a symbiotic way". The "job" in the speech example would be "hey Joe,

Nothing charitable or uncharitable in the sentiment. Just interpretation. Keeping context confined to the 1999 and 1992 films... What meaning do you infer? I still can't find an alternative.

I don't think it's "uncharitable"? Seems perfectly reasonable to not like a remake. He says: > ... this corporate remake is a worse creative "theft" than ... Context is that "this" is the 1999 film

I assume he's saying Disney owns the 1992 film so the 1999 film is not theft, but he wants it to be because he doesn't like the 1999 film. Thus the quotes.

What's this have to do with the thread you replied to? And... anyway... Google just changed its homepage to make "AI Mode" / LLM responses the norm. LLM usage is just going to be the norm for the foreseeable future. Does

I like the idea of not naming it. I treat it like housekeeping and treat features like hosting a party. Guests/stakeholders are people who want what you can make. The party is the feature they want. They don't care whether it was

I'm 100% with the GP - I've avoided reading the book due to the manipulative sound to the title... Ironically I have read The 48 Laws of Power , hah. I read it though thinking "I'll bulwark myself against manipulators b

The tradeoff was discussed in a sibling thread: it's heavier by 58 grams and thicker by 2mm. That's it. That's the tradeoff. Why go crazy on the guy?

Don't imagine a grid. Instead imagine that "GO EAST" takes you onto a winding road. The road arcs southward and to go back you'd have to "GO NORTH". Further... some travels in Zork even drop you through a hole

So long as my format is the standard one, that all newcomers an unopinionateds see by default and thus my opinions rule forever... yeah! great idea! otherwise... oh hayol no.

And for clarity to @lukasgelbmann - I answered the questioner that clearly didn't know the term. I wasn't referring to your usage of it. Context and tone tell the reader whether it's used "normally", tongue-in-cheek

Nope, one simply says "the article".

Yes and to be clear, one uses "TFA" to imply annoyance that TFA hasn't been read. e.g. "TFA covers this already."

Nonsense, that's your seat height. Lower your seat and magically the monitor is the right height. Your keyboard may be chin-height but hey, your monitor height is no longer a problem. ;)

Law suits / claims, I'd expect, as tall is unstable. If I sell a Monitor With Really Tall Monitor Stand and then you lightly bump your desk and break your monitor, you might want a replacement and call my stand "an unstable P

I don't get why anyone downvoted you but maybe we can "all get along" by saying: "the meaning of life is to continue living." Thus the short-term answer is "food" and "reproduction" is th

Well. My assumptions are based on the that the alternative would never matter. He'd simply stop existing (in HN-space), and that's an overtly less-fun universe to live in. We certainly do suddenly live in "interesting times&q

Ok but if you're a person that likes HN discourse but thinks "eternal september" has happened ... what's your plan? You'll still come here, read the comments, see something engaging and want to reply and... feel sad

This is cyclical. We went from overwhelming color chaos of pink and green toilets, carpeted bathroom floors, and kaleidoscope wallpapers to calm, clean, and inoffensive shades of whites and "agreeable gray"s. Soon enough people wi

I did the same thing and came away with a different opinion. The MediaWiki server died and I had backups, but... literally no one in the family would've tried to resurrect it. They knew I'd worked on genealogy for a while but I do

The only companies that'd follow the watermark are the good guys though, yeah? The people you'd want to be wary of would be the ones that'd look legit. e.g. "yes i guess i will send my son $400,000 in cash tonight becaus

"It's not my will, it's the will of the bugs in my butt!" yes, very "relieving." I kid, ;) but I see your point. The idea that you might, say, struggle to resist candy and sweets and it's because some popu

To some degree the other posts are just pointing out the misleading "assumed protagonist" of the title (which doesn't mention mice) but I was surprised to see that the majority of posts boiled down to "eek! mice!"
