But do note it's not part of CommonMark yet: https://spec.commonmark.org/current/ I hope it gets there. I like this feature. :-)

Good, I'm glad your network is trying to fix this. The other thing I do is return whenever, and just put my Kindle in airplane mode and read the book at my leisure. Sure, I can't add any content for a bit, but they can't remo

They do, yes. However, libraries typically have a very small number of "copies" of ebooks available to loan, which means there can be quite a queue. Add to this that there is literally no incentive for the person who checked it ou

Yup! In 2008 I was in my first job, working for a defense contractor, and my boss seriously could not wrap his head around the idea of me voting for Obama. In his mind that should have gone completely against my own self-interest. But he al

Look up Pandemic Legacy for an example, I think they may have started the trend.

The way I read it is that "communication ability" is something people can use to justify racist hiring decisions. For example, labeling non-white speaking patterns as "unprofessional", or non-American accents as "po

A source for LSP growing out of OmniSharp? Interestingly I'm not finding much. This isn't a totally accurate history but it's close enough: https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-use-the-language-server-pr... The

by sandyarmstrong 5y ago
Cool stuff. I think there were a few similar efforts going on. For example, LSP was based on the protocol developed for OmniSharp, which was an open source .NET-specific implementation started in like 2013 by a Vim fanatic.

Why do you think people care so much about end-to-end encrypted messaging? Yes, the concept of a "private" repo is enforced only by GitHub's service. A bug in their auth code could lead to others having access. A warrant coul

Ask people of a non-Christian faith if they agree. All the replies here saying Christmas isn't Christian seem to be from people with a Christian upbringing, even if they are atheist or "secular".

Yes, LiteStep was the first time I felt really in control of my computer. Virtual desktops, lighter shell, etc. For me it was the gateway drug that got me to eventually move to the Linux desktop.

Books, TV series, movies, music...if I make some emotional connection while experiencing it, I'm likely to want to repeat that experience later. When I buy a book (or in the olden days, a DVD/etc), I'm factoring rereadings in

Fair criticisms! Personally I'm thrilled to finally have a good terminal experience on Windows. The copy/paste behavior is very comfortable to me, given the similarity to gnome-terminal. And to be honest I never really got comfort

It rotates. The stand just rotates with it. I'm not just being cheeky, it's actually pretty easy to move around. The stand is so thin and flat that I liked having it be a place where I slide in my keyboard when I want some desk sp

Try another Logitech. Their low-profile mechanical keyboards are very popular with my keyboard snob friends. :) I haven't tried them yet myself, since I prefer a narrower layout. I really love my Drop ALT but it's not low profile.
