I find RST simply miserable to write and even worse to read. All of your points are valid regarding it being an actual spec, but reading and writing it in the raw vexes me to no end. I still use it for my module documentation, but I still u

This is the only screen I've ever had to fight with to get something bright enough, and I'm nearing 40 so I've been through a metric buttload of computers and screens. It is hands down the worst screen I've ever had (an

I can't stand the (lack) of brightness on my X1 7th gen. Is that not a problem for you? I can't for the life of me get it to be bright enough to use in a lit room. A bit of hyperbole here, but I basically have to hide in a close

I wish I had known about the serotonin part earlier; I destroyed my back today on the dumbest thing and took one so I could get some work done. I wasn't taking an SSRI when I used tramadol more frequently, but I am now, and I probably

As someone who uses both (irregularly, only as necessary), legal thc / CBD doesn't even remotely compare. I have to get so high to even approximate the pain relief from an opioid that I'm completely nonfunctional. I had my f

To be clear, this doesn't mean there aren't intelligent people in South Carolina. What this does mean is there is a presence in this PNW area, specifically centralized in Puget Sound, where talented aerospace engineers tend to co

Anecdotally, I know the water outflow from Lake Raystown in Pennsylvania ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raystown_Lake ) is SIGNIFICANTLY colder than the lake surface is. I spent a week in the summer there one year and

My reasoning would be that hydroelectric plants dam up the water and the water at the lower levels of the reservoir is that which spins the turbines (and is released). I would imagine the "original" depth of the water being disch

You don't need to, provided you're willing to also maintain a Python 2.x fork on your own instead, or willing to pay someone else to do it for you, or willing to risk no more patches to the interpreter. You do you, boo.

I literally spent most of the day after reading this yesterday testing, and they were identical (or near enough as made no difference). Today, same thing. That's my point - you probably never thought it was any other way, and I never t

It's weird how much we take for granted without ever expecting it to be different for others. I thought you guys were just screwing with me re: having an alternating congested nostril. Like, I only experience that during severe nasal

I bet that was the problem; we created streams for channels and vs. having a single stream with all the channels being threads inside of them.

I'd suspect it depends on what you're using it for - our instance of chat is primarily roughly themed chat rooms where we can talk about video games and bitch about python or rust or scala or home improvement projects or the news.

I tend to use the web clients for everything for just this reason. Turning notifications on gives me the same toast behavior I'd have in a thick client and I'm not running 14 instances of electron at a time. I can see this being f

Somehow we had like 15 users and not one of them managed to make a comment that wasn't a new thread - like I said though, it was like 2 years ago. Either there was a bug, or it was a design decision, or maybe even a misconfiguration on

Yes, I've used zulip - every single comment spawned a thread or responded to a thread. Users weren't used to responding to a thread, which meant we had threads of single comments constantly . I'm puzzled that you're pu

They are the primary reason to use Zulip. In this way, Zulip is more of a Teams competitor than it is a Slack competitor. I, frankly, cannot stand threads. I want a chat room, not a realtime forum. I understand why people would like that, b

My understanding is that 4g requires a lot more effort to provision more or less capacity as need arises. I've been to a few brownbags on the topic and I didn't fully understand it (it's not my area of expertise by many hops)

Again, I am not talking about 10 years ago, I'm talking about 10 hours ago or 10 days ago. I realize time is a continuum and that's why it gets wonky, but surely people can respond to something someone has said now, with their wor

I still disagree; people are using free speech and freedom of association to counter your words. You may not like that they're countering it by telling your employer or employer's business partners that "we treat your continu

I feel like we're talking about two wildly different things. On the one hand, we have a Tucker Carlson character doing, well, Tucker Carlson things. People got upset, started listing off all the advertising relationships on his show, a

Destroy, or show there are ramifications for speech? I find the "I can say whatever I want, it's just words" to be an immature stance to hold. Words hold power, and power can be used or misused. We know words hold power; othe

Ugh. Can we stop with the cancel culture narrative? When people say objectionable things, there may be consequences. This unhinged proposition that you should have an invincibility force field around you when you spit out obnoxious shit i

I think because we all made the presumption that obvious police abuses would be punished once we had video evidence. We didn't take into consideration the justice system's complete lack of appetite at holding officers responsible

That is shocking. How could something like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger ever exist? They're doing the exact same thing; modifying the status of the page payload. Even BrowserName developer tools would run afoul of this. I can't

Yep, that's my thought processes too; I usually go to Adafruit, and if they don't have it, I go to Sparkfun, and if they don't have it AND I know precisely what I want, Digikey, and then if all else fails, I go to amazon and
