BTW YouTubers get paid for... generally themselves alone. I mean come on, many are getting paid for reacting to other people's videos. Wild.

Or just not have it at all? What is wrong with parental controls AND parenting? What real issue does this solve?

Okay, how about having the problem-solving skills to figure out how to exit vim when you inevitably encounter it? Sounds like a reasonable middle ground to me. Do you disagree with this? (FWIW I agree with pavlus.)

Oh for sure. When I present something to the LLM it always tells me how great it is until I make it "question" it, then it says it was overestimating this or that. Eh. Quite annoying.

I would have never become a power user of Linux were I used LLM to do the installation of Gentoo once upon a time. :( So do you guys not know much about the distro you are using, or how does this work? I honestly thought your comment was sa

Are they supposed to open the food in order to take photos of it?!

by johnisgood 7mo ago
Yes. Talking about it is taboo, but it is quite a common phenomenon when people like the smell of their own farts and bodily odors.

I am surprised there are so many people on HN that completely miss the point. I am actually shocked. I am not shocked, however, that there are people who get offended. Getting offended is so 202x.

What distinguishes knowing about vim from knowing about virtually anything else? If you apply to a job in tech, you should know that by long-pressing the power button, your PC turns off. Is this pop quiz shit, too? The bar is ridiculously l

Yeah. You convince with logic, you persuade with emotions. Done!

Yeah, it does have a share button, but I do not think it is anything new, there is BlueSky, X, lord knows what else, and then HN.

> “I feel better” does not automatically mean it’s an effective treatment. Of course, I agree with that. I also agree that you cannot be drunk to function, but there are many other "drugs" that people would oppose that do not m

You keep ignoring the fact that what you just said applies to current medications used to treat depression and anxiety. They do not treat the underlying issue long-term, and if you stop them, you are worse off than before due to rebound eff

My grandma got dementia, and she has been deteriorating quite a lot just now at the hospital to the point where she is unrecognizable. Yes, technically she is still my grandma, but at the same time she is not. I hope you understand what I a

You are down-voted, but if we consider this to be the reason, it is indeed sad. You can no longer filter out power users of computers based on their choice of OS alone. :D

I know right! I was pleasantly surprised. It has to be one of the greatest news I have heard in a while.

Thank you for choosing Fortran. Seriously, I mean it. Someone else already said this, but it is awesome because it proves that you can write useful software using languages others consider ancient or dead and therefore "unusable".

You can tell if you input something or not, based on the blinking cursor, in which case it is not "frozen".

There are BSDs as well. I wonder how FreeBSD or OpenBSD is going to comply, if at all. There may be a way out of it, too, I am not sure. Perhaps a no-op. I also wonder how non-systemd Linux is going to handle it. I mean ultimately it may be
