I would imagine getting suddenly sprayed with cleaning solution from multiple directions is probably sufficiently unpleasant that it will get exaggerated as it's re-told. And "the entire chamber being -sprayed- with liquid" p

One of the comments on the post mentions an Explorer extension that makes the effort as well. IMO if you're doing something that far into "don a rubber glove and root around inside somebody else's rectum" territory then

I think, even though I can absolutely see the arguments for doing so, locking down the compiler to no longer accept external native extensions was a huge mistake community wise, since a lot of the people advocating for Elm were the sort of

> Maybe DTF and LIKE need to be orthogonal options This is why I really liked the idea mentioned in the article where you swipe up to indicate like/date and down to indicate primarily sexual interest. I strongly suspect many humans

You can believe that it's bad for people overall, certainly - friends with benefits type things require greater than zero management to avoid running into problems, and as with any type of relationship, not everybody is as good at hand

Given it has a 'date' as well as a 'sleep with' option, it really does seem built around sex positivity principles to me. I can understand the trads being mad about it because they abhor casual sex in general, but at lea

From my point of view, you acquire the knowledge that this system also follows the convention by guessing that it does and trying it (though I was quoting a dictionary rather than a wiki; I usually do for word definitions). I appreciate tha

He said the convention that doesn't exist was -backslashes-. Also, intuition is "understanding without conscious reasoning," so remembering a convention IMO counts. Consider e.g. parental intuition of noticing subconsciously

Underscores indicate emphasis, just like underlining would, but in text you usually get italics (I'd note that this is often an <em> tag so it being italics is a browser default style). Plus underscores get used -lots- of places

Lots of things use underscore for italics, if you asked me to guess I'd certainly try it first (and asterisk for bold). ... in fact I just tried it and underscore apparently works in WhatsApp, TIL. OTOH /italics/ reads to me

I don't think it reduces the physical effects so much as makes you -feel- the cold less and therefore be more able to keep going. Let's never find out.

The article starts by mentioning the programmatic interfaces, but the point here is to be better able to write quick, clear scripts, not full programs. It's solving a -different- problem, and it may not be a problem that you personally

I use quite a few promise/future based APIs that have a sync version and an async version and the async methods are called get_p or get_f or so, which feels like very little noise when I'm already typing 'await' in front
