Why depressing?

Comes from Latin. "Germania" was their name for the general area.

That "writing them off completely" is even on the table shows that this "ability to loyalty" is BS. It's like if you have a boyfriend that say "well, at least I won't leave you over this" every day.

Oh, loyalties? Do you know Russia is committed to defend Armenia thru the CSTO, but apparently just said meh and now Armenia is on their own?

Well, why is he talking about what neurodivergency means? Why does it matter in this comment thread? I don't see what he wants to say, so I ask.

I think your disclaimer is fine, I just wondered where Malcolmlisk wanted to go with his comment.

I bookmarked this post, thanks! Really interesting.

This comment is puzzling to me on several levels, but I'll just go to the centre of the topic. Do you feel that something needs to be addressed about the way LoganDark disclaimed that they were biased on account of their neurodivergenc

You just unlocked a memory of when I found Helm intimidating just because some of its behavior surprised me on my initial tryouts. After reading the manual, it was actually much simpler than it had seemed.

Let's wait for statistics on the new plane :)

Thanks for the example. It got me thinking. It's true that a sale at $0.20 profit margin is still a profitable sale, so if the alternative is to not make a sale at all, then better make it. And... in the case of expirable things like f

You're not missing out feature-wise, no. Helm is the original kitchen sink power tool on this front. The Vertico-stack is interesting for different reasons, like simplicity of implementation.

That's an old saying. It's not so clear-cut now.

To get more good research done, there are at least two different fronts we could fight on. The straightforward one is to reduce incentive to fake at the "top of the competitive curve", somehow. But the total population of resear

Some of your "analysts" seem like they can be net loss. I'm thinking someone who only ever buys the groceries that are at least 50% off, having no particular recipe in mind so no need to combine with regular-price items. Gr

'Collection of routes' is a really intuitive description, thanks.

At risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, think back to how you would've browsed the internet before Google. You probably would've grown your own web-directory of bookmarks, right? That's also how you explore the

Humoristic surprise aside, I think this trick just feels neat and does not actually solve the problem when it matters most, because even if you often switch between apps, there are still going to be times when you don't. Times when you

I know this won't feel satisfactory, but there's nobody else and nothing else that you could be. Not even in principle. Your consciousness is an unique product of your brain's labor. Think of it not from the perspective

Ok sure, you're saying that clone tech implies the ability to modify the developmental process, or at least enables finer research towards that end. But it rubs me somewhat wrong when you write as if all clones would have had that done

Can't speak for management, but they could've seen it as funding open-ended research. Give a bunch of nerds freedom from shipping dates, deadlines, adoption plans, customer demands, and other such things that they always complain

Well, if you assume they don't mean GNOME Shell, but something like Bash shell, it's still easy to assume it'll work in a terminal. :-) A pure shell program (without a TUI library like ncurses) is just a more broad concept, a

For Swedish citizens, most of that data is already public. Addresses and everything. Exactly which data do you envision causing problems? It's not as if you can draw money just by knowing someone's bank account number.

May have a reasonable price in countries where insulin also does.

That couldn't ever suffice for me, because I do a dozen things per week that have no answer on StackExchange or anywhere else. Without reading references and thinking for myself, I wouldn't be able to do them at all.

Moreover, even if the user manages to deny you root access through excellent hygiene, that just means you can't include this machine in your botnet. You still have full view of the home folder! Upload to a data broker, get $.

Well, exceptions for C-g shouldn't have to be hardcoded everywhere, because that makes it harder to move the C-g behavior to some other key. If going this route, I'd first implement a list of "keys with C-g-like behavior&quot

Great points! If you don't participate in emacs development, maybe it's time to consider it.

No experience myself, but from past comments on HN, I understand the company Amtrak provides pretty good service within the areas it can control. It's just that the US rail network prioritizes freight every time (even though legally it
