But why do you assume that they don't like cats or even have an opinion on them? Most of first glance opinion forming is subconscious or near subconscious. It's less likely to be "I see a cat. I hate cats. Next" and more

Just to push back against this view a bit with one anecdote -- I'm still in contact with an ex-colleague of mine, who I used to work with in retail. He now works for various delivery apps. And according to him it's vastly superior

It's a convention to use roman numerals for centuries in some european countries. Parent poster probably just done it out of habit.

Agreed, it definitely feels like we are already past "peak multiplayer-only" AAA games phase, and trend line corrected itself and now is looking stable. There's is less evidence now that single player games are going away

Probably because people who browse with js (mostly) disabled are over-represented on HN. So for us it is a significant use case.

Exactly, both informative for MacOS users and those who never used it. MacOS users can quickly scan and think yeah I don't care about this feature, or think huh this is something that could be useful and maybe I should look for a 3rd

Something else which hasn't been suggested yet. Basically it could be that you are not opposed to the secret voting in principle, but you think current proposed options are not fully baked yet and you also think that current status quo

In my experience the parts of a (study) book where you feel dumb and frustrated while reading are generally the best parts. That's where you get the most worth out of it, it means you finally hit the spot where you are learning new stu

Regardless of the viewpoints here (I lean to agree with you on opt-in), it's an off-topic suggestion on a hot bug report. Keeping noise levels low on these sorts of hot bug threads is already hard, no need to make moderators job harder

I would also add episode with Michael Levin as a worthy candidate for this year. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2021/02/01/132-...

It's a bit of a reach tbh. "jopa" (жопа) would be a crude way to say "ass". Then some schoolyard nicknames would sometimes have a suffix -lin or -in (-лин,-ин) as general creative addition to create nickname. Unless

But surely the "I want a Mac Foo 342" is sufficient? The latter part of sentence just adds unnecessary confusion. I worked selling laptops before, and I honestly wouldn't remember which one came in the smallest box (and they

The above solution unfortunately doesn't work for those of us who use fzf (or other fuzzy runners), since that RUN_SCARY_THINGY=yes var will be part of the matched line which you will run inadvertently in your coffee-deprived mind. I r

I don't think it's fair to use this fact as a data point -- since that same message you've linked says "This was circa late 1994 when PHP was a tool just for my own personal use". PHP was released to the public 1995

You are absolutely correct! I wasn't aware that "-i" takes an optional suffix, so it didn't even occur to me to look at the sed line as possible cause for this extension weirdness.

No project I'm aware of, but I did cobble together a script to do something similar. In my I case also wanted it to work with copyq so there's some noise related to it. tmp=/tmp/out maim -s -u | tesseract - "$

While you see it as problem, lots of people see this as a feature, just different priorities that's all. I do prefer distros which curate the packages they maintain to provide some logic and predictability to the way packages are meant

Why such a snarky reply? Some users do find value in having different flavor distributions and them exercising some control on the source, you obviously do not. Yes that means spending resources on this, and that will sometimes cause issu
