It's one piece in one of the puzzles, but it's not really what I'm looking for.

Can you share a link to the docs for the scripting engine? I've seen conflicting information over the years and I'm not sure what the latest really is.

Early on in high school we had one of the sports coaches substitute for a science teacher for a few months. The sub gave us a bad formula, and I spent a while on getting her to correct it. She pushed back, so I even wrote a very small paper

I think this is a game that demonstrates especially well how online gaming discourse goes wrong. I believe that this game and Frontier have always deserved harsh criticism all throughout the past 10 years, but that criticism needs to be fai

Over the wings in which direction, though?

Worth discussing! You might also suggest that driving tests should be harder/longer/repeated, specialized based on different types of driving, and license privileges restricted based on years/miles safely driven. We already d

Ageism is not inherently wrong. This also deals with a public space, where idealism and liberties are already restricted. If you make individual exceptions based on close examination, then fine. But I think it's fair for observers to a

I don't think it matters. Too much risk of a crash, hurting multiple people, one person, damaging property, triggering emergency response, is reckless.

Agreed for a completely unconfigured emacs process. But the article mentions enabling word-wrap. (That's one possible point of confusion for some - he means a variable/mode/feature with the name of "word-wrap", not

Emacs word-wrap does it the "sane" way out of the box in 26.3. The current version is 29.3. I tested it with that exact text just now. I doubt it would have gotten worse after 26.3, so something in the author's config or buil

Can you please comment on donatj's claim that his post was edited by someone else? Can you or anyone else do this, and did that happen in this case? Does this happen often?

Yes, most everyone here understands that. Microsoft understands that better than anyone, and makes their decisions accordingly. The comment I replied to claimed that honoring user preferences had no cost.

If respecting user preferences reduced Edge/MS ecosystem adoption, then that's a cost.

And you must never again attach that VM/container to the network/internet if it had access to sensitive information at the time of running the untrusted code.

Maybe there is some medical reason not to for her. But as a healthy user of head tracking for gaming, I would rather have head tracking, so I can move my eyes without interacting with the screen. Maybe it also doesn't work well with mu

Ah, I have to agree that not all ownership concepts can apply to data, such as transfer like you mention. And if you lose control of your data it would be impossible to put it back into your sole control.

by jrootabega 3y ago
If you choose to own your own data, you certainly, literally, can, at a price. If you choose not to, you can also not own it. You cannot own all data, and you do need to be able to understand the difference.

The overall phenomenon is not random. Our brain is structured, so processes that are not meaningful can produce results that seem meaningful to our brains. Like wind blowing through wind chimes.

Yes, vouching gets shadow disabled if you go against the abusive hive mind that is condoned here.

Yeah, this guy getting suppressed is a clear abuse of the HN voting system.

What if it was meant to sound unrealistic and poetic from the start? Maybe he intended it to sound weird when he wrote it.

There's also usually another disconnect: between tech industry publicity and tech industry reality. Mullvad could have been, and maybe even still is, lying about how they operate, because it's good for business.
