WYSIWYG editors are universally bad, and so are Markdown ones. The benefit of Markdown is that you just write it in a text editor. You don't need syntax highlighting to use it effectively. Take reddit, as an example, which got millions

I'll grant you that an Electron app is generally 90% C++ (ships a web browser), but I'm not sure if that makes Thunderbird (ships a web browser) any better.

That's...not why, and it doesn't. Try clearing your cache, or loading a profile without any addons.

It's not XUL anymore, actually, as far as I know. That's why it ripped out support for XUL addons.

Thunderbird isn't a native app, for the record. It's a web application similar to an Electron application, but with extra steps.

You can just...ignore people, on the Internet. It's a really useful thing! Once you accept that not all requests/insults/questions/comments are equal, and some are drastically less valuable than others, it becomes pretty

Yes, the site makes much more sense if you create an account (without an account you can still contribute to projects, though!), but you don't have to if you just want to browse projects: https://sr.ht/projects This is

Sourcehut [is] barely functional in a lot of ways. Since when? It has the best CI, has the best interface, has both Hg and git support, and does pretty much everything a forge is supposed to do. It also does discovery better than any othe

Its users are getting a fair deal, though. They're getting the service they paid for, with significantly less downtime than GitHub, and Drew is being fully transparent about how funds are spent.

I mostly agree with you (I mentioned elsewhere that "invasion of Taiwan" was just supposed to serve as shorthand), but I think you night be underestimating the US Navy and possibly overestimating the PLA.

by kick 6y ago
Oh, invasion was absolutely lazy shorthand in that case. Mostly agree with you on the front of "this isn't how we should think about and conceptualize this." And fully agree that US-ROC relations have been really interesting

Counterpoint: If the PRC takes over now, they own the process technology NVIDIA and AMD depend on. They can tell the Americans to go pound sand, good luck on your next supercomputer project, and dedicate all production to Chinese origin de

I appreciate the good-natured disagreement! Long-term independence and stability of Taiwan is necessary for TSMC to keep existing. It's in its best interest to keep existing. I'm pretty sure the government doesn't need to app

I am an Internet commentator. You don't have to trust me. That's the beauty of Internet discussion sites! I have an actual reason, and it's in the thread I linked, and in my reply to another response to this comment. The abov

What's in TSMC's best interest is the long-term independence and stability of Taiwan. Taking away a strong source of motivation for an administration that's already shown itself to lean toward "stay out of other countrie

Moving manufacturing to the US takes away leverage. It makes no sense.

Because the US is so famously focused on the long-term and would totally protect a country from getting wiped out because of "shared culture." Taiwan needs all the leverage it can get, and giving the US the gift of no longer needi

If you believe that Facebook is something more than a toy, then it seems reasonable that they'd have freedom of expression, press, speech, so on. As such, if people choose to get their news from Facebook, it's no different than th

A toy, is that so? I know quite a number of people (engineers, marketers, companies) that exist solely due to Facebook advertising. You should let them know their livelihood rests on a toy. There are physical shops for LEGO, too. Even thi
