Same as what we do. Only one additional thing: when people log in to their accounts, it switches to the preferred language for that account (and any changes in language selection whilst logged in are also saved into the account preferences)

The article just says those 30% of people weren't convinced the version with the calculator "would do better", not that it "is a bad idea". Granted, they might have thought that, but it seems quite a leap. They co

Or write an entire book without them, then publish a second edition with an appendix of just punctuation marks, for the reader to place wherever they feel is appropriate. Oh wait... Timothy Dexter already did that... https://en.w

To reach the exact number, I would think that: - if the number n is prime, it would be an SC + (n-1)*P, making the total number of actions n + 1 (as SC counts as 2 actions) - if the number n is composite, you'd need to factor it, find

Fortunately it's now been approved, so it looks like they cleared that backlog quickly or it was overstated.

Eep, I just learned the AMO approval process is currently backlogged for weeks or even months. The GreaseMonkey user script is identical, though, and you can peruse the source to make sure it does nothing untoward.

Having the HN comments side by side with the article is an awesome idea! I took the liberty of creating a simple Firefox extension for that. It is still pending approval by AMO, but once that is done, it will be available @ < https:&#x2F

Ice skating... Interesting... My guess was it having to do with ships rocking side to side. Maar waarom een schaatsterm?

Am on a Dutch train right now and there is a distinct lack of roll, Dutch or otherwise. That said, I wonder where the term Dutch Roll comes from. Perhaps the oscillation is reminiscent of the motion of a ship rocking side to side. The Dutch

But that is what the title states and is explained in the article. There is no law that forces a cookie banner. There is a law that requires consent before tracking, but that is not necessarily about showing a banner - that is just one of t

GameMaker Studio has actually rather quickly jumped onto the QOI bandwagon, having 2 years ago replaced PNG textures with QOI (and added BZ2 compression on top) and found a 20% average reduction in size. So GameMaker Studio and all the game

I've been frequenting this site daily for over 15 years now, and I don't think I've had error messages more than a handful of times in that decade and a half. Today was indeed one such time - which is what triggered me to che

Then indeed there might be. I'm not saying AI is useless in general, even though it might be totally irrelevant to my personal workflow. But my question is still what Copilot brings. Does it do what you describe? If not, what does it d

My question wasn't about the key per se (which is just a trigger for Copilot, it seems), but about what Copilot itself brings. Can it do any of the stuff you describe?

Unless it can be used as a more or less generic modifier key, I don't really see the point of a key dedicated to this one function. The placement on the keyboard in the photo would suggest that either the space bar is shrunk down or on

Stories like these have led me to come to the conclusion that Google has literally become downright evil. Our company does basically everything in the Google cloud and if Google decides to shut us down, we're gone. Our reliance is, imh
