You're the creator of that website, right? Thank you very much for it, it's great, helped me a lot.

Modal interfaces are not "bad". They're often not intuitive, but intuitiveness is not the be-all and end-all of interfaces. It's a trade-off.

For me, all this talk about "speed and efficiency" has put me off of trying vim for a good while—I thought it was a waste to spend time and effort improving the speed of something that was never a bottleneck to start with. However

Come on—trying to determining the risk of a nuclear war or any global catastrophe and communicating that risk to the public seems pretty important to me. Don't fixate on the "imaginary clock" aspect, it's just a represen

On (most?) non English speaking countries, on top of the choice between 2D and 3D, you have to choose between subtitled and dubbed. Very often the only 2D option is the dubbed version—because kids, I guess—if any, because the other rooms ar

Loved it. I have a suggestion: What about making it easier to see where your troops are concentrated? Like making the tiles with more troops darker, with a stronger/heatmap colored border, or something.

Last time I saw, Windows' color picker was still awful. Plus you may not want a separate window for the color picker.

When I was younger I could not care less about my parent's feedback about my heavy metal guitar skills - I did not expect them to understand anything about the music I was playing and I'd chalk up any criticism on them not liking

You misunderstood my comment. My point is that quitting WhatsApp, when everybody around you uses it, is not simple and does not warrant that snark.
75.
by lbebber 10y ago
That snark is uncalled for. Stopping using WhatsApp and Facebook would make communication with some groups much more difficult for me, for example, because everyone uses them.

Well being quotable is a thing on its own - you have to produce phrases that are witty, impactful, and, importantly, self-contained and short. That doesn't necessarily speaks to the quality of one's work.

Different ideas affect different people in different ways. For example, not having affordable healthcare affects people directly and might very well be a death sentence to some. Often, popular left-leaning causes are like that - causes wher

Of course not being able to access a website you want (and censorship in general) is not good, but comparing that to slavery is absolutely ridiculous.

You are wrong in that it's only a matter of 'unfriend/unfollow/block them' - that is only a solution for people who might get one or two harassers, but there are people who just get bombarded with it - just look at

Yes, and "useless" is not exactly a precise term - it's obviously being used for the inflammatory clickbait-y title, not for the sake of "precision".

When the maximum wage one can get is below their living costs, let alone saving for studying etc., yes someone needs to provide for them. Sometimes one is able to get out of poverty on their own, but that often requires, besides hard work,

The point is that he was saying that groups of white people had the same as people of color, and that's not true. They had it bad, but it's not remotely comparable.

Indeed, various groups of white people have suffered varying levels of prejudice, but 1- it doesn't compare to what, for example, black or chinese people or native americans suffered historically and 2- most of the prejudice against th

It's not that white males have it easy, but certainly easier than someone born in the same circumstances who also has to fight racism, sexism or other prejudices.

Hey - it's very respectable to go out with such dignity, but please don't call feeling bad and complaining about it "bitching" or "whining". The experience varies from person to person and it can be utterly ter

From your quotes: "10 to 18 million people enslaved" vs "12.5 million shipped from Africa" (that is, discounting slaves born in the Americas). But no matter - even if it was worse somewhere else, the point is that Amer
