   Many enjoyable games become quite a bit different when they’re played at a high level. Whether or not the game is still enjoyable at that point is not always easy to say. I definitely would not enjoy memorizing lists of words in order to be

   How should a trained professional be using caps lock?

   I bet it was also a sound to hear, and some heat to feel as well!

   I think it’s an attempt to quote American Psycho, although it’s slightly wrong.

   I’d guess because you could easily build a machine to cut the pieces with long strips of metal rather than welding together a bunch of disjointed pieces.

   How are fewer interruptions more annoying than more interruptions? I’ve reread the parent comment a few times and I don’t see how it could be worse than it is now.

   To be fair, this is a somewhat common sentiment that I’ve seen on HN. Similar is the “non tech oriented parent” point, where you don’t have to worry about your parents phone getting a virus.

   I’m hesitant to think they just couldn’t figure out how to make it work. Giving that company the benefit if the doubt seems like a bad idea.

    I think we should assume the most charitable interpretation, unless we all want to sound like angry old men. Keeps interaction pleasant in spite of anonymity.

    Stories like this make me wonder about what sorts of pseudoscience people will laugh at us for believing in 100 years.

    Well sure, but doesn’t that seem sensible? The consequences are greater when the accounts are those that belong to people with a lot of power.

    Is “undocumented students and families” a euphemism for people aren’t in the US legally?

    Same, it seemed like the story was building up to something and then ends abruptly with that quip. I think at some point, the average poster on that subreddit started posting longer and longer stories rather than just humorous short ones, a

    I don’t think it means he’s going to bring his kid into work.

    I don’t think people dislike Chinese tech because it’s made by Chinese people, but rather because the Chinese government is assumed to have some hand in it. Best faith interpretation and all that, right?

    I’d imagine it’s far easier to be sentenced to death there as opposed to the US.

    I’ve heard someone say about the rust compiler that it will never allow compilation without its safety checks in place because it would decrease faith in any rust binary.

    These tips all seem rational and effective. Thanks for posting!

    I think the popular concern is that this problem is only going to get worse as more and more plastics are produced and old plastics continue to degrade into tinier pieces of plastic. It’s particularly worrying because we’ve found pieces of

    Looks like the mail preferences window is one such example, as seen in the before/after in the middle of the page.

    Yeah, probably about as well as any of the quicker RPi clones would, which is pretty decent for light tasks. $100 is about as much as you’d pay for one of those plus a touchscreen anyways, so it sounds like a fair deal.

    In a similar vein, the thing that got me to try Linux when my previous computing/programming experience was VBScript in high school and Matlab in my ChemE degree, was a bash one liner that renamed and organized by date some photographs
