Thanks for clarifying. I guess my real issue (which I forgot to mention previously) is: why is this something that the website needs to implement? Shouldn't a personal preference such as dark mode, like reader mode, be something browse

10 lines might be what it takes for some sites, but there are surely plenty of sites out there where it would take significantly more than that.

I don't know that a website needs a dark mode. Does anyone really not visit a website because it doesn't match their desktop color theme? That seems absurdly picky to me.

My anecdotal observations do not match yours. A large percentage of the younger people (under 30) that I know are on twitter several/many times a day every single day. These are not tech workers, nor are they journalists, they're

Sadly this used to be a fairly good place for mostly-snark-free discussions, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. At least for some topics of discussion.

I don't think so. I think NTSC's color issues (compared to PAL) were due more to how PAL alternates the phase of the lines (PAL = phase alternating lines, btw). The alternating phases or PAL had the effect of canceling out transmi

Fair points, I think, to a degree. Mind you, I wasn't trying to accuse you of being racist. I purposefully phrased my comment the way I did not to be obtuse but to allow for the fact that coming across as racist may not have been your

If you mean flagged on HN, there's great transparency about the reasons: users can flag whatever they want.

The implications of what you said sound kind of racist to me. I suspect that's why you seem to have been downvoted.

MacVim which you mention isn't part of any standard distro. But also: why should it matter really? If someone is a Neovim user, they'll have very little difficulty using vi/vim when that's all that's available. Basi

No. There's no real benefit in this case. For the most part, the main practical advantage of Neovim over Vim (from a user perspective) is that there are some plugins that are only supported by Neovim and there are some types of plugins

Jokes (and especially inside jokes) don't really go over well here on HN.

Allow me to explain what is implied: More options for ways to get apps won't make app developers more money. This is shown by the difference between profits developers get by developing apps for iOS vs Android. Android has a larger use

> Having additional marketplaces available for me doesn't affect you. The comment you said this in reply to talked about how it affects _everyone_ both using the platform and developing for the platform.

If you want to watch a fictional version, the scifi shows Continuum and Dark Matter both portrayed a future where corporations ran the governments or were the governments.

There are positive and negative aspects to it being a closed system, just as there are positive and negative aspects of Android's open system. Marketing just chose to emphasize the positive aspects. Not really a genius play, IMO, that&

And yet loads of people still use it, and loads of people still recommend it... That’s what I mean by it doesn’t need to be smaller. It’s already hugely popular at the size it is, even though it’s a waste of bandwidth.

For better or worse, it doesn't really need to be smaller.

In addition to all the tutorials on the arduino site, Adafruit has a lot of tutorials about using their specific parts. Even if you don't have their specific parts, their tutorials (and libraries) can be useful if you have similar part

Interesting, though I would have liked to see the browser support for each of these. Seeing so many -webkit prefixes is a bit concerning.

How isn't it derogatory? It seems to me to be something to laugh at (not with) and/or be afraid of.

by joemi 6y ago
Your description sure sounds derogatory.

If 'cursed' is derogatory, then it seems unfair/mean to call sites cursed just for not keeping up with current web design trends. Shouldn't we be better than that?
