I am not sure this concept makes any sense. It sort of reminds me of the time when I had to explain several times to my first gf that she has no need to delete stuff, because the harddrive in her PC would store 1000x her current INBOX with

Commit 592de110d15c55512f8254b38051e3a61853eb82 looks weird. I don't have the time to read the code, but mod 9 instead of mod 8 in a chess-related program looks like the off-by-one has just been "fixed" in the wrong place.

You just invoked godwin's law. Not very interesting "observations" you make.

The most awesome random submission I ever received was a BrainFuck compiler written in BrainFuck, by hand. Short story: I wrote a bf compiler in Emacs Lisp many many years ago. As a small testcase, I included a BrainFuck compiler in Brain

"Welcome to HP TouchPoint Manager. Click here to learn more about HP TouchPoint Manager." Tried to disable it several times. It always comes back. I will never ever buy a HP product again.

I see it quite politicalized. Tesla was "cool" in Europe at a time when the center-left consumers were too naiv as to not realize that Musk is center-right. After the media helped to transport this, Teslas were suddenly less coo

No mentioning of semantic tags. I personally think things like <main> and <article> are way more practically usful for accessibility these days. Many screen readers have a "jump to main" shortcut these days (which is

The poor? Are you refering to people with disabilities by any chance? I hope not, because that would be quite condescending. Being forgotten by society might feel like alienation, but to assume people with disabilities are automatically

Nope, sorry. I am too old and frustrated by modern web accessibility issues that I am not going to waste my time and "contribute" to this mess. A few years back, I would have tried to make the world a better place. These days,

Regarding documentation of physical objects... I am blind. For some time in my life, I was able to remember the layout of various devices in my household. I mean, which button does what, and which jack is for what... But after a while, a

Stupidity is the new elitist insult. It started to be really noticeable with COVID-19. People with different opinions were simply labeled as too stupid to understand the gravity of the situation. Same is happeneing with democracy. Votin

And how would PeerTube avoid that, without actively censoring particular content? Ask nicely? Pray? Hope?

Wah, there is no Incel content on YouTube? What about Pearl Davis, or the flood of shorts extracted from this podcast I just cant remember right now? Personally, I much prefer a uncensored platform over arbitrary censorship by big tech. W

> You don't get to say "oh I was wrong" after a couple years. Parents leaving their partner and their child behind isn't unheard of. Even women sometimes do so. Sometimes, children end up at the grandparents, and

It is fine to be contend with having kids. It is pretentious to claim that everyone without kids hasn't achieved supreme humanhood. Both sides cant really know how the alternative would have felt like. If you have kids, you cant mag

If I were Musk, I'd just shut down the whole operation in Sweden. It is not like the country is particularily big.

It is hard to see through the unfolding drama. Since I am lacking data (and we all do), I can only fall back to my intuition. When I was listening to Sam being interviewed by Lex, I had to turn the podcast off because I felt I am listenin

That MITM would have needed to follow me around, since I tried in several networks. But nothing is ruled out so far. I wish the error was a bit more informative, since my date/time settings are clearly OK, so I am kinda stuck here.

I wish I could use the mobile app on iOS. Getting a weird error when trying to login, something about date/time being wrong on my device. Since date/time is autosynced, it must be something else. I wonder why I have this tende

This! Its always the same. When volunteers start to complain they aren't compensated for their work, things start to smell fishy. And this kind of behaviour seems to have increased lately. Rather sad. Either I do something for the

Fact is, everyone is subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) lying. The right is lying to the left, and the left is lying to the right. If I learnt anything from COVID-19, nobody can be trusted, no matter where they stand.

However, OP argued that global warming is suffering from people NOT getting immediate rewards for their actions. Your argument basically says OP is wrong, and there is no need to counteract peoples tendency to prefer short-term rewards o

Regarding long-term rewards and global warming: What is the actual long term reward here? As I see it, there is no way to collect any sort of reward for helping to prevent global warming by changing your habits. Before the problem gets re
