Perhaps you should add an [edit] to your original post seeing as it's nabbed top spot and spawning several threads about lack of cursor support?

Space deployments are banned by the Outer Space Treaty [1]. Slide 3 mentions Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) which was not banned by the Outer Space Treaty but subsequently by SALT II. Interestingly enough the US never ratifi

Which is why I thought that the hold-⌘-Q to close Chrome was a godsend! Apparently this is also a feature with Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/824072

Huh! I've been considering remapping F1 in vim for a while, I might actually go ahead and use it for something quite common (I've already taken up F2-12 for other handy tasks).

To be fair that does change the meaning of "didn't work" though.

This seems to be the main issue of confusion here. It seems like maybe people aren't reading the full article? I didn't see anything that suggested that these children were transgender (biologically speaking)? (Or am I wrong?)

At my old workplace we had a few legacy Meteor projects that absolutely _nobody_ wanted to maintain. In addition to that we could not hire anyone who was both suitably qualified and excited enough to work on Meteor. We still had to maintai

It looks like EGreg may also not be a native english speaker, from their own slight grammar error.

By the time I'd realised my mistake I couldn't delete or edit the comment.

Ah yes you're quite right! Apologies to all. I'd misread that, although I think my point still stands: I'd like to read about the story and not hear about politics in a foreign (to me) country.

I feel like jabs at conservative politics are the norm now with a lot of journalism. A few weeks back an article [1] I read, from reddit, started with: …the dastardly Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor seem to be a great gift to the Alt

I believe blue1 meant that the page could do with a short explanation at the top… I was wondering the same thing until I realised what it was about.

And what's worse is when utility companies require me to "authenticate" over the phone with my name, address & dob: all publicly (to varying degrees) available information.

When driving, if another driving appears to be doing something unusual I try to make eye contact to see what they're doing and try to determine their intentions.

A reporter apparently tried to talk to one of the drivers and they refused to acknowledge his presence: https://twitter.com/AdamTuss/status/894627339891609602

I mute everything except for direct notifications in Slack. I advise team members this and if they want my immediate attention that have to tag me.

Your insistence on replying to every single comment on this thread combined with your statements like "I know what I'm talking about" (and you don't) suggests to me that perhaps you're an evangelist yourself?

I often explore new stacks by building a product that already exists complete with identical css! For example: Wanna try out aiohttp, vue & css grids? Let's build a Slack clone!

My take on this, drawing from his "Humans gonna human" is: "Engineers gonna engineer" - a mistake that's cost me dearly in the past.

I appreciate the fact that you've taken the time to offer a comment which I personally think is interesting & valuable, but with all due respect, could you type in paragraphs please… it makes it a lot easier to read :)

The wikipedia entry seems to evade the most blaring question that popped into my mind: why the 2 cockpits? After a bit of reading it dawned that because this was intended as a very long range fighter, there were 2 pilots to share the flyin

Along similar lines, I detest a trend I've noticed where login forms show the username/email & password on separate forms. It's annoying to have to click through more than is necessary and additionally breaks my password
