The old safari is slow and, can you believe it, HN does not fully function! Now, we all know the hardware is premium and this device would probably run linux very smoothly and the touch interface would be a dream. But we can only dream rig

C. S. Lewis: “When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness

They’d have to be missing tomatoes - they were unknown in Europe during Roman times because they’re native to the Americas. Tomato usage in Italian food is _relatively_ recent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_cr

Asking if things were 'just that bad' is a bit of a value judgement. Yes, they were 'just that bad', but from WWII to 70s the view that the government _should_ be involved in things like housing was a lot more prevalent

You can discover so many things on Mac by Option-clicking! It’s used in many places to give an ‘alternate’ function to buttons and the like.

As someone who also lived on a visa in the US, I think you were required to carry it at all times like your green card. It’s just never enforced.

You should add a ‘tap to add to Contacts’ link - I think a vCard would work? I don’t want to send a postcard right now, but I’d definitely like to store the number for later use. It’s actually kind of hard to do that, though, on iOS at leas

I don’t think ‘linear history’ captures everything. In the orgs I’ve worked in, it was important that mainline always (bugs notwithstanding) always be ‘runnable’. Many people (myself included) will happily commit in-progress changes to bran

This italic scrolling was pretty standard on any LED sign in the 80s and 90s. I always assumed that, rather than a stylistic choice, it was just caused by the lines updating one after another because of update or display multiplexing speed.

If a change causes problems that were not there before, it obviously wasn’t understood when it was written. Better to back it out _while_ you try to understand things than to leave it in until the situation is fully understood.

I had some fun recently using (abusing?) `constexpr` to process string literals at compile time to ‘compress’ then in the binary and save a few bytes in my microcontroller. https://gist.github.com/th-in-gs/7f2104440aa02

Is this actually a permitted use of the TLDs? I guess the answer is a de-facto ‘yes, because it’s done now and we’d have to revoke registrations to undo it, which is too unpalatable’, but at least some of these are not in accordance with th
