1h later, self-comment bc too late to edit. Realized I mentioned mirroring on one axis, but not on the other (perhaps more relevant) one - i.e., I also don't know how many trans women there are in women-dominated spaces, and therefore

>For another, you might be in a lot of male-dominated spaces (e.g. this one), so the set of trans women you know is probably not that representative. Damn. I'm ashamed I didn't think of that framing myself. Yep, I'm cis he

God, every time I see a screenshot of Firefox 4 I get hit with a nostalgia blast. I was in highschool and I remember getting hyped up about the UI overhaul from teasers Mozilla was putting out. Felt like Christmas when I hooked up to the d

The belief that grunts (like the hard working grunt) aren't paid enough might not be sufficient on its own to make the end result (people getting mad at that grunt) believable. But what if one considers it as one of several beliefs fre

Short answer to a pretty broad question: Yes More color: I was happy running Arch on a 2012 vintage Dell Latitude (Intel, integrated graphics) for several years. I'm currently quite happy running Arch on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s (gen2,

Landing in 3.14? Nice, but also oof, that's probably not getting to my employer's codebase for a year or two. And it sounds like it could really solve some problems for us, too. Paging asottile - any plans to make a `future-tstri

Yeah. A while back I was poking through some unfamiliar code and noticed that my editor was rendering a use of `datetime.utcnow()` as struck through. When I hovered it with my mouse, I got a message that that function had been deprecated.

@tetromino_ is expressing a prior that women are sent dick pics more frequently than men. From that they infer that women might actually like a feature that blurs out dicks automatically (at least, more than men would). From that they infer

My partner and I have been calling them "fun boxes", as in, "Hey, I just started to poop but I forgot to bring my fun box, can you grab it for me?". I started it maybe a couple of years ago. Was aiming to give myself a

That's EVE Online's approach to fighting ingame "email" spam [0]. Every player can configure an amount of ingame money that is levied from a sender's account to deliver a message to them. It's a currency sink,

The whole one about the stateful blob of an object with all optional attributes got me real good. Been fighting that for years. But the dev that writes this produces code faster than me and understands parts of the system no one else does

Since neither the parent of this comment nor its parent mention it explicitly- This article is about EVE Frontier, a different game from EVE Online. One of the main takeaways I had from the article is that CCP is planning for EVE Frontier&

Something like that exists for btrfs; it's called bdtu. It has the accuracy/time trade-off you're interested in, but the implementation is quite different. It samples random points on the disk and finds out what file path the

I've read something like 7 egan books now but my math isn't good enough to know if they're any of the four you described via metric tensor (cause the wiki page on it went over my head). Surely not Incandescence? Maybe Schild&

I feel that to be qualified to answer your question I need to have used a non-git VCS on a non-trivial project. Which I haven't. That said, jujutsu is the one that's most sparked my interest and seems most akin to the subset of g

Because a sibling comment said Pantheon trailer looked like Stephenson, I watched it. To me it looks like Greg Egan's Permutation City, which I found via HN and which made me inhale about seven more of his books in quick succession. To

I think the difference is that if you go to a funeral home in the US and say "I'd like one burial, plain, no sugar" you will end up dressed in fancy clothes, filled with formaldehyde and a decent amount of sawdust, lying on s

I've probably spent too much time on the internet, then, because I definitely wouldn't have interpreted your original post as an honest question without having seen the clarification in your followup comment. Probably a defense m

Wow. Didn't know it could do that. I showed up to the internet party around 2011, a little late for my age, so I was still getting my legs and kind of missed "being there" for a few events, like Megaupload going down and Goo

I know this specific example because it was one of a handful of reasons that delayed my workplace from upgrading past Python 3.5 (I think) for quite a while because of the addition of the reserved word `async`. https://docs.pytho

My partner and I don't do this any more - especially now that we are married - but for the first couple years we lived together we split the grocery bill using a 1 to 0.77 ratio we derived from our bodyweights. We just derived the rati
