That's true. And answers that seem obvious later, aren't obvious when you're young or less informed. My personal example: I had to do a lot of research, distillation of sources, and so on, in about 2001, to figure out the ans

You called them out for being slow; turns out they weren't. You called them out for un-merging your work; turns out they didn't. Now you keep saying you had other bad interactions, but you haven't even said what they were. I

I think it's really neutral in tone and I appreciate the record being corrected. 2 days is a great turnaround time for PRs isn't it?

I want them to report the facts, not their opinions. Reporting that corporate called it attacks is good. I do prefer direct quotes. However, when they quote one word, the journalists are inserting their own opinion about it. I want to make

I'd give an llm a shot before I ruled it out. I had it generating .docx the other day and it did pretty well, so I assume it understands the format just fine. And they're excellent at markdown.

I move between workaholic and lazy bum. I try to capitalize when I'm feeling like working, and work as much as possible.

I don't read it as a deadline. It's the latest date we will all understand what an economic flop the Internet turned out to be. Not the latest date at which the Internet was still on par with the fax machine.

I have a business where it's important we don't have roaches. So we spray more often. It costs me $83 per three months. I haven't seen a roach in sixteen years.

So what if we don't know? We can find out at the same time. We're trying to authenticate a pair: user/pass.

I was still supporting ie6 in at least 2014 for a couple of clients. I miss those times, too, but not the IE6 bullshit.

You need glasses to see far-away stuff now? Doing close work with your eyes can cause your ciliary muscles (they flex your lenses to focus) to be overworked. They seize up, and lose the ability to relax to their former length. When your len

It's been some years now, but apple maps put me into a loop once in Branson, Missouri. It drove me around a couple miles that went right back to the intersection where we started, and then wanted me to start the loop again.

I haven't had minute maid in a long time, but I enjoy Simply, and Sam's club house brand is pretty good as well. Nothing like a fresh Florida orange, though. I used to know a secret tree in a public preserve that had the best oran

Serious request, I'd love to see this OP plotted against the rise of the em-dash elsewhere. Is HN more botted, or less? And are banned accounts excluded?

I'll jump in: I was stuck in layover many years ago and bought a Topo Designs backpack -- Google says it's a 30L Apex Global travel bag. I use it every week, it shows no signs of degradation over approximately a decade. Huge beefy
