I don't disagree, but this position commits you to removing all petrol cars from cities, too.

Agree with your point, but high-refresh displays are nothing new. We were debunking this claim 20+ years ago. I gamed with a CRT that did 640x480 @ 300hz back in the 90s.

You're shifting the burden to the parent asking for metrics for something that is common knowledge amongst middle schoolers.

The world itself never gets better or worse. Facts or data about the world are not value-laden. We impose our values and judgments of the world and decide whether things are getting better or worse. We might make judgments to this end that

Anyone making an argument against the value of philosophy usually fails because they don't have the analytical/argumentative toolkit to construct a good argument. Precisely because they didn't study philosophy. And if they ha

Web fonts are pretty small and only load if used, and loaded only if they're not cached. It's definitely added requests, but those can be deferred intelligently. Reflowing is preventable using modern techniques, but honestly it do

I'm not sure you could. Not without undermining your own point or making false equivalencies, anyway.

I don't know anything of Thiel's politics besides his support for Trump, but it's difficult to imagine such a person could be a serious thinker or would have any serious political positions.

Camo is fine, but is there a third party app that I can just buy without a subscription?

Can you give some examples? Custom web fonts have been well supported since the late aughts.

Let's have perspective. The EPL matches picked up over here for TV are between top-table, expensive clubs. Watch some bottom-table matches or matches from the Championship, and I'll think you'll find the quality isn't th

I don't think the situation is that dire. For the USMNT, maybe—a lot of that is competition and coaching—but not for MLS and American players overall. The US has way more European pros now, playing on good, Champions League caliber tea

That's a lot of SpongeBob and My Little Pony characters. At this point, is it fair to say the attachment to kids' cartoons is a cultural (or pathological) phenomenon for under 30s?

This is something I wonder about all the time. I think there a number of reasons: 1. Ideological - probably can't reason with these people 2. Preference for small tools vs. one monolithic tool - less efficient, but I can understand it

I don’t get the point you are trying to make here. Drivers operating cars 100% legally are a bigger threat to pedestrians than reckless scooter users.

And how does that relate to counter space?

I am a fan of PHP's official documentation. It's well organized, terse, and relies heavily on exemplification. As a bonus, you get more examples in the comments—kind of like Stack Overflow, but attached to a particular feature or

Are you suggesting people put their electric kettles on the stove? Or that people place their hot kettles on the counter?
770.
by vehemenz 4y ago
I use both. Stove top kettles are less efficient, but they have a few advantages over electric kettles. They: - work when power is unavailable (outages, camping, etc.) - are more or less indestructible - don't take up counter space I

This is great. Now I can finally pursue my true life's calling: making AOL proggies.

Under normal circumstances it doesn't affect much. Increase the memory on your configuration and move on. However, when the supply chain is crunched (as it is now), Apple's build-to-order MacBook Pros take two months to deliver. T

PHP is more like birds. Technically, they're dinosaurs, but they've evolved and stayed relevant after Perl, etc. went extinct.

I am just misremembering. I turned off the input icon because it's largely unnecessary. I don't really need the icon to know I'm in pinyin, or vice-versa.

Nothing is wrong with nationalism, especially the Penn Jillette brand of nationalism you seem to be advocating for. I'm just not flag-obsessed and find it weird to have a flag in my periphery for ten hours a day.

by vehemenz 4y ago
I 100% applaud this. I've always used ABC Extended because I thought a flag in the system menu was gaudy and weirdly nationalistic. I know I live in the US and use the American English keyboard layout. Similarly, I don't need a Ch

Personally I use rclone to mount my Box files as a volume. It's a little slow, but at least it's predictable.

It's hard to generalize about Reddit because each subreddit is kind of its own world. If you want good discussion, go to where the good discussion is. What is terrible about the UX? Are you not using old.reddit.com? If you're judg

Honestly, you don't even need that much. There are plenty of other citing styles that are non-obtrusive, including those that use footnotes and/or hyperlinks.

Government, non-profits, and universities are the most resilient institutions from a job-seeking perspective. They don't pay as much, but that's the trade off.
