People who are excited about the trackpoint probably aren't interested in switching to another input method for scrolling. Personally I usually disable the touchpad ASAP on any new laptop I get.

Why would I want to play my Skyrim character in Halo?

I wish I could, frankly, but smartphone UIs are just not designed for it sadly. Heck, input boxes don't even autofocus on Android (presumably because a virtual keyboard pops up over half the screen for most people once they focus an in

Ah, it seems like if you choose a date in the date picker, or from the "Today, Tomorrow, etc" list it keeps "Every Tuesday" in the text box and gives the behaviour you describe. I always schedule by typing, so I end up r

I use Todoist as well and like it, but I'm not sure I'd say it "works really well with recurring tasks". If you schedule a task as "every Wednesday" then a few weeks later reschedule the task to Friday it doesn

It sounds to me like NullPrefix accepted the hypothetical bug, for the sake of the argument, and then addressed the rarity assumptions made about that bug. "For the sake of argument" doesn't mean "No debating" it me

You explicitly said they were hung up on the "worst case O(n)" situation, so I suspect they were concerned about the latency. Insertion into a dynamic array has a worst case of O(n) and an average case of O(1), no?

On the URL shortener, or on the password reset token endpoint? Because only one of those will save you.

It's unevenly enforced, not unenforced. If you're willing to photoshop yourself an ID, then sure, that probably works.

I ran into this earlier this week when I went to watch Kung Fury, a free movie hosted on YouTube which is now age restricted. I pretty much just couldn't. Luckily the Pirate Bay exists, and now I have a permanent copy which is what I p

Netrw, as a sibling comment mentions, does this for a number of common protocols (and is built-in). So you just open an file with a URL starting with sftp or whatever. https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=10

My understanding is it requires true names and is unevenly enforced.

So, fun fact about percent-encoding: the space character can be percent encoded as %20 or +, and a literal plus must always be percent encoded as %2b. When you put plusses in Google Search those are actually pre-percent encoded spaces, wh

I feel like the true spirit of Google is that they test fifty shades of blue, then apply the "quantitatively best" shade of blue in an unrelated product where it makes the text unreadable. Either that or I have no idea what the he

If you're booting from UEFI you don't even need GRUB. You can make the kernel a UEFI app, register it, and then just select it from the BIOS list (or whatever we're calling that "Press F8 during bootup" thing now)

My experience is I'm more likely to remember my dreams if I got woken up unnaturally, so maybe it's the other way around? You only remember your dreams when you wake up tired?

Because they don't support standard protocols like pop3, smtp and imap. It's why I switched. (They do have Protonmail Bridge now, but it doesn't work great for alternate mobile clients unless they've changed it)

I'm seconding this. I'm in New Zealand and Hacker News is easily one of the most responsive sites on the web, in my experience.

It makes a difference how you got there, assuming in the second one that he reliably/intentionally never reveals the grand prize. Imagine you have two identical looking bags of marbles, one contains two red marbles, and one contains on

The GP isn't saying the new screwdriver handle is worse either, just changing repeatedly.

I took that restriction to be specifically for automatic updates, and I agree. Don't break my workflow without my consent.

I do believe if you could properly uninstall them you'd be able to install replacements like MicroG (although I've never actually done this), so that'd be an upside.

I'm not entirely convinced users of microG put "just works" first and foremost...

The obvious route here seems to be to let us pay for the browser...

They also keep threatening to remove userChrome.css (or at least adding more leopards), and I think the day that happens may be the day I throw my hands up and stop using Firefox. Although I don't know what I'll use instead. I gue

As a counterpoint, I always disable wrapping in my editor, as I find it much less readable wrapped.
