Yep. I do this a lot. It occasionally doesn't work (eg: some sites don't think + is valid). To be fair, I don't think it's made a huge difference in my life. In fact it's possibly been more of a negative than a posi

FWIW, I think the problems you list are 100% valid. I still generally think people should be allowed to choose how their life ends. I also think that, as a society, we should be trying to fix the problems you list so they become of least co

I've wondered about this for my hypothetical future self. Currently? I'd say that I wouldn't want to live with dementia, but what if my "demented self" (kinda hate the phrasing, sorry) in the future wants to live, o

I don't particularly like this wording but can't seem to come up with another one right now: I think it's okay for us to try and avoid the irreversible mistake, but yes, it's very arguable that living years you didn&#x27

I don't necessarily agree with this take but I'd say it's probably because we're only willing to let people who are close to death "make a mistake." Eg maybe a 16 year old who wants to end their otherwise healt

Sometimes I wish the anglophone cooking world hadn't forgotten that "sous-vide" actually refers to the vacuum sealing.

This is one of my "boomer" opinions. I don't like transparency, backgrounds, or (most) animations anymore. That said, I'm used to Liquid Glass now and I don't much care either way anymore. It's just not a big d

I care about my vertical white space (eg: grouping some things together gives me some logical separation). I don't care about horizontal white space. That should just properly get indented and spaced into a consistent block format.
793.
by rkomorn 1y ago
100% agree. Autoformatting is such a great feedback mechanism. Did this not indent where I expected? Did it not change the formatting? Do I use it as a crutch? Maybe. Would I be a better programmer if I didn't use it? I doubt it.

What kind of things are "local shopping" doing to drive you away? And how many of those are related to not having the same economies of scale (and other competitive advantages) that Amazon has?

Maybe this all depends a lot on where one lived in the US and where one lived in Europe, then, rather than some binary US vs EU thing?

Yeah. I'm just okay special casing "against" heads of state.

I think your username checks out. :D Apparently I underestimated vastness.

I dunno. Do you? Does the Nobel prize have a history of shaping the future? Did winning the Nobel prize make Obama a different president? Was it supposed to? To me, it seemed oddly aspirational, but maybe that's more often the case wi

This is all highly personal, so just banter'ing, but: I agree there's no clear definition but 95% is even beyond "overwhelming majority" to me (with overwhelming being greater than vast). I'd call that "near to

If it makes you feel any better; I have no middle name, and fairly short first and last (6 letters each). My names have been consistently misspelled regardless.

As a separate reply, I'll add that I think finding where/if this breaks is pretty academic. Eg: you wouldn't build a glider out of heavy material that gives you huge speeds but also huge sink rates. So I think the entire glid

I don't know. On one hand there's your take. On another hand, there are CFIs, the FAA, books, etc. I've only found one search result that agrees with you, so far, and at least a dozen that disagree, but the one that agrees wi

I had one! Watching TV on my desktop was great in the pre-streaming era.

I think "has been used to kill" is a more serious accusation than "accidentally killed" (even if due to recklessness). What case(s) are you thinking of?

The winch launches the glider and gives it speed from the ground that it can then convert into enough altitude (ie time) for the pilot to find a rising air current (ideally, I guess). Edit: so yes, your first thought is correct. :) It'

I'm back in Europe after more than two decades in the US and I can't say I feel much safer as a pedestrian here.

Maybe it does make sense: public transportation is vital to your city. If you fail at it, your city fails?
