Georgia's cities and counties mostly put their own measures in place without waiting for the governor to decide to do something. I don't think they're waiting for or depending on the state's call on it.

They named it troglomyces twitteri because, as far as they know, this is the first time one has been discovered through Twitter.

Google (or quack) /r/whatisthis and the thing you want to identify. There's a bunch of subreddits like this. Here's a big list: https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatisthis/wiki/links

The Oreo placement in Lost In Space was oddly fitting. If I'm off to another planet, that's the kind of thing I'll pack.

Someone watching that many subreddits can't have a good grasp on context. They'll end up moderating in a way that seems fine if they don't understand the culture of the subreddit. Realistic example: someone makes a comment ab

Trading personality for employing unearned traits to get through life sounds like a bad deal. I can perform masculinity to top standards and bullshit my way through life, but then I'd lose myself. I doubt it's any different for AF

I didn't realize you were talking about HN instead of in general. It's weird and fickle. One day you promote collective action on big problems and get lots of upvotes, the next you're run out as a traitor to capitalism. It so

My observation as an AMAB person: you are absolutely 100% correct in your overall assessment, but I think your perception of relative ease for men has a filter of survivorship bias. Women aren't given much chance in the first place, bu

Not the person you replied to, but there are different narratives for it: "Democrats didn't want it because their insurance company sponsors didn't want it." "Democrats didn't fight for it because they needed v

I would go to a Netflix theater for a selection of Star Trek episodes and similar. Who needs a big fancy movie when you have narrative arcs peppered through a pre-serial normalization series?

Depending in the jurisdiction, you might even have a legal obligation to try and get away as a top priority if you can avoid a potentially deadly confrontation.

I still run into people convinced "leftist infighting" turned the election rather than the handful of votes in three states that really did it. People need better civics education. They find out about the Electoral College and can

I've tried to get into this habit. Qualifications are great too because when someone comes back to say "you said X! You lied!" you can remind them of how carefully you qualified your statement. This is Circle of Competence ap

This will fail the same way "real name" policies fail. Someone has to draw a line on what politics (or a real name) is for the purpose of the policy, and that's going to cut off a lot of useful ads. For example: An ad for f

It seems like enough people find their way around them. Refinement might make them easier for people like me with less experience navigating language documentation, but that might come at the expense of developing the language. Priorities a

For comparison: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html https://golang.org/pkg/fmt/ I don't know why I find Go's version easier to follow, but I do.

The video has a star emoji in the title for a reason discussed in the video, but HN stripped it out. Just to make it clear I didn't editorialize the title.

Go really is the easiest language I've used. It installs with no fuss. The VSCode extension sets everything up and works perfectly. The library documentation is so clear that it usually answers any question I have without having to dig

I wish there were an open source design app with as much thought behind UX as Krita. I got Affinity Designer just as soon as I found out about it after many failed attempts to understand Inkscape. There's just no comparison. Inkscape n

Interesting thing: Airline pilots use imperial units instead of metric. They're an odd outlier where the argument used for metric works for imperial. Airlines in all but a few countries use it. https://aviation.stackexchange
