Thanks, "a lot of the food" may be true for many people, "all the food" seems unlikely to be true for anyone. I looked through the image and the only brand I might have purchased a few times in the past five years is Mu

He was 44 at the time, 22 years after he started working at the Times. I don't mean to suggest that he is a pedophile (I could have phrased it better), just that he made a sexist comment that is based on seeing women as sexual in a wa

I'm not convinced the cultural difference is necessarily all that large in practice. From the article he wrote, it isn't exactly a common thing there either but a special event. Obviously there is some difference in theory, but

I'm not convinced it is a joke, but certainly it could be. If so it is notably a sexist joke that sexualizes the people he is interviewing. It was not appropriate to make at the time nor to repeat. Of course the fact that he tells s

There is nothing wrong with a reporter being photographed inteviewing people, unless the people he was reporting on didn't approve (no evidence in the story that was the case - and the article he wrote mentions that it wasn't the

Yes, asking them to put on a shirt would have been even worse and still sexualizing. Feeling entitled to say whatever sexist stuff you want at any time is a liability for anyone and is even worse for a reporter.

The core problem isn't that the teenagers see it that way but that saying "My wife would kill me" indicates that he was seeing it that way himself at the time rather than just seeing the people he was interviewing as people h

"My wife will kill me" indicates he was sexualizing the people he was reporting on. If his wife would actually take offense that is something he needs to work out with her and not let it affect his work. Anyone who doesn't g

It is a good question, however I suspect the answer is that they just don't know the author's actual name and would publish it if they did.

I gave it a try (Windows version) to see for myself how it works (it is exceptionally buggy at the moment and unusable). VLC still has an oddity that I only discovered reading HN VLC threads and playing around a bit, which is that if you a

I don't get it either, personally, but I remember reading around high school (90s) a book called "Boost your Brainpower" or something like that. They mostly recommended lots of visualization (they said the trick is to say ou

I disagree, the menus take up a lot of visual space, often for stuff that isn't used all that frequently. IMO, it makes much more sense for more actions to be done as a tab off the main content rather than via menus and popup windows.

I mostly use mpv that has this behavior and it can be annoying how often an accidental mouse movement causes the controls to appear. I suspect extremely few people, if any, will have trouble finding the controls. When it comes to video in

I agree that wasn't a good way to put it but it might not be entirely irrelevent to mention Crypto AG considering Quad9 is sponsored by the Manhattan DA and City of London Police. https://www.manhattanda.org/our-work&#x

I wish they would sell the old games as-is on GOG. There are a couple of recentish commercial games that try to use a similar design: Sprits is the better one IMO and MouseCraft is also somewhat similar. https://playism.com&#x2F

Your #3 is only one of a bunch of things wrong with that paragraph :(. This seems much worse than his earlier posts that I read, mostly a couple of years earlier IIRC. Not sure if that is typical of his more recent writing or not. But ye

Thanks for the list! For completeness, I think the active older POSIX shells include at least NetBSD's sh, dash, and bash. Not sure if there are any others. Edit: zsh, ksh, mksh also.
