I know that we're technically emulating old devices... But that time is so long gone. I actually never worked on a hardware terminal in my entire career, which is already almost 30 years. I think it is about time to stop calling it e

I am all for maintainers getting something for their work. What I object to, is a guy sitting in the west, xenophobically pointing at the east, and at the same time, asking themselves if they can sell that stuff from over there. Thats a

Anyone else notice the irony? We're talking about Open Source, right? Then, "will the west adopt chinese software", which has a xenophobic touch. But wait, a paragraph later "Can I sell this to our clients?" Wel

I am sure the intern who wrote a rule for the Apple VoiceOver speech synthesizer to special case the number 18 being pronounced english while the synth voice is set to german imagined to have a good reason at the time as well. However, tha

Whoever introduced the rule to automatically delete :: in titles on a hacker site should be made to rethink their decisions. Its a silly rule. It should go.

Can OP please tell me how to abolsih CR while in Raw Mode? Did he forget about it, or am I just unimaginative?

Well, I believe the underlying problem of platforms like StackOverflow, ticketing systems (in-house and public) and even CRMs is not really solvable. The problem is, the quality of an answer is actually not easy to determine. All the mech

Full ACK. It has been liberating to be able to chat about a topic I always wanted to catch up on. And, even though I read a lot of apologies, at least nobody is telling me "Thats not what you actually want."

I wouldn't convince a recovering alcoholic to drink, because I am neither the food industry nor an a-hole. However, I insist on blaming them if they do, because thats their body and their decision. We can talk about legislation, like

Oh! I am blind, and due to my disability, am treated in a condescending way on a regular basis, so I didn't even notice. But now that you point it out... I can see what you mean. However, being used to being treated like a small chi

Thanks for upvoting, however, it didnt really help. However, I was fully aware this thread would cost me some karma. Besides: > The undertone is that of the cliche: It's women who are suffering, and the underlying blame is on men

We have to blame fat people for their actions. Pretending they are not responsible for their own choice is a really bad road to go down. These are adults, and we need to treat them as such. The victim mentality really has to stop, its

Sure, but women have the "biological clock", and many of them realize they have set their expectations too high when the clock is actually running out, which then turns into a disaster/depression for them. Men don't c

Thanks for proofing my point. Also, congrats for actually following through with your decision. Thats not a given for many, because natural urges typically are so strong, they sometimes resemble addicition. In any case, full power to you

I am not sure what safety-vs-sex has to do with sexuality supposedly not being a binary thing? I deliberately wrote "preferred sex" to be as inclusive as I could, but I find everything else pretty much uncalled for. For me, for

I am fully on your side. The asymmetry, or shall we call it sexism, in how divorces are handled, is definitely a contributing factor for younger men to no longer aim for marriage. If you look at it rationally, its simply too high a risk t

For what, exactly? The 45%-single forecast is easy to Google. And the word "male loneliness epidemic" is also easy to drop into a YouTube search.

How do you compensate for death? How do you insure patients against death? Do you realize how cynic your comment is? Even though it is full of facts, these facts are pretty much beside the point. Ruining someones body isn't the same

Rather longwinded personal intro, followed by due to the war, my grandma was allowed to become a dentist without actually going to medical school! YAY! What a horror story.

You're pretty much onto the crux of the situation. Lets put it mildly, its a rare case that the parents of a disabled child/person truly understand their needs/desires/wishes/dreams. Its much more common that the

Double life, how ironic. I have some experience with being isolated due to a disability, albeit mine is by far not as far-reaching, but still. What some call a "double life" is the primary life to those which failed to find a

Judging from your dismissive reply, I assume it was an intentionally exclusionary statement from a person taken prisoner by their visual cortex.

What a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. So an object close to your face is registered as a threat in the morning? Well, say bye bye to your coffee mug. I am sorry, but this is technophobic back-to-nature hippy babbling. Some people are mentally cha

All the smartphone vendors do that. I have lost several iOS apps I once bought, because the developer chased to regularily update his app, which eventually killed it.

I clearly perceive the world differently from you. Sure, once an argument is over, its boring to continue, thats pretty much a no-brainer. But to my experience, people discuss topics not because they are unsure, but because they basically

All I can think of while and after reading this article: Socializing Risk. Why exactly should I, as a citizen, pay for random art pieces indirectly through taxes? I already do, but I question the practice. To simply answer the headlines

People in general don't really want to be convinced. The default is to communicate your POV, and maybe listen to the story the other person is telling. But thats about it. The case where you end up thinking "This guy is right,
