looks good to me!

Your double negative is confusing.

I'm not entirely sure what you've described is the case. I wouldn't be surprised if in some cases the for-the-worse changes aren't done when a site is at the top of their game, but are instead reactionary attempts becaus

That site runs so slowly in Firefox on my computer. I didn't try it on anything else since that just turned me off too much.

It's obviously not really suitable for businesses anymore, but if you don't have a personal site that you can do this on, I feel bad for you.

I wonder if this will affect filming in any serious way. Might be too early to tell, but can anyone knowledgeable of the Vancouver film industry comment?

I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me, but I don't think this is a good precedent. Apple has always been opinionated, and that's a lot of what made Apple different. Admittedly, sometimes their opinionated takes were

The images there all came from somewhere else and are mostly uncredited on pinterest, so that's not really advantageous to anyone, and doesn't really harm pinterest at all.

Isn't reporting the builtin the best behavior, since that's what will run if you type `command`?

Same here. MacOS on my M1 Macbook Pro has been really great so far.

In highschool my best friend and I discovered LBA and fell in love with it. I'd love to play it again sometime. And look forward to reading more about it. I had completely forgotten about it until now!

If that's all it is, it's pretty damning of Google. It'd be nice if they thought of the users they'd be affecting, but I guess in a way they are, in that they're upset they can't mine those users.

Thanks. American legislation confuses me, and I'm American. Too many organizations that report on it don't link to the bills they talk about, and when I google them I get things like this, with the exact same name. Definitely does

Is this talking about H.R. 3816? I hate it when these articles mention bills but don't link to them. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3816...

Well, you tried later. Technically.

Oh, no doubt that (or just a single webpage view of all the documentation) _should_ be something that all documentation should provide, but I don't think it's any surprise that not everything has good/ideal documentation.

by joemi 5y ago
I can't speak for the person you're replying too, but I have somewhat similar use cases sometimes, and what you propose isn't really a fix. For instance, when programming, the documentation could be spread out amongst many we

I'm not usually that cynical, but the timing of it combined with facebook's lengthy abusive relationship with customers' privacy (and what kind of company morals that implies) makes me think that it's definitely a possib

I keep my personal computer at my desk in my apartment almost all of the time, and for the past decade have used a desktop since I pretty much never needed to move it. But over that decade with a desktop, I found myself wanting - craving -

I do wonder if that kind of thing is awkward just because we're not used to it...

Thanks. It's been quite a while since I've seen it. Guess I slightly mis-remembered it, but got the gist of it right.

There's a great bit about that in the movie Canadian Bacon where a police officer in Canada (not sure if it was actually in Quebec or not) catches some Americans writing anti-Canadian graffiti. The officer informs them that they need t

CD, DVD and BD are all ROMs too. In a computer (and therefore videogame console) sense, these all are technically called CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and BD-ROM.

I don't dispute that (now that we know more) the situation is pretty damning. But again, the original article (a local news article written by a "web content writer") was so light on facts and so short in general that there e

You proved my point by bringing a second (more detailed) source into your argument. At the time I commented, there was no second source in any of the HN comments here.

I know a lot of people are viewing this as the police getting their comeuppance, but there's not really enough info in this article to go on. The last line of the article is pretty explicit about this: "The cause of the collision

I'm not sure what counts in your book as many years considering that page shows the latest one is from 2019. Also, not sure what counts as trends, considering their previous logo had a gradient added (which was trendy then, or a few ye

Actually, Xiangqi has 7 types and western Chess only has 6, unless I'm counting wrong.

I would have just as stubborn about the spherical-to-planar issue. IMO it's easy to illustrate by pointing out an extreme example: two longitude lines can be feet apart near the poles (ignoring the intersection aspect for simplicity) a

I highly recommend Xiangqi and Shogi. They both feel very chess-like but also very different. They're a little tricky to learn to play if you're not familiar with Chinese characters (Xiangqi) or Japanese characters (Shogi), but on
