Mostly balance issues, I think. Balance matters in pubs. If dust had the underpass-stairs option from the beginning, and maybe moved the T spawns forward by 1 second, it probably would be just as popular today.

Even though I played CS at the highest level for the time, CAL-i, I always thought the maps were too small for 5v5 and that competitive would have benefitted from 7v7 or 8v8. That was how pubs were, and the dynamics were better. I think 5v5

Hi, have you heard of philosophy?

This is a popular criticism that is partially true, but it rings a bit hollow because conservatives (rather, Republicans) don't seem to want intellectual career paths. They're nowhere to be found in academia. And, to pre-empt the

Those of us who came of age in the dotcom era already had the vocational skills to pull big salaries, so college was a bonus education. I (and others in this thread) have a philosophy degree because of it.

Coding is not mathematics. If you'll recall from your philosophy courses (irony of ironies), Russell's project in the Principia Mathematica failed. Mathematics is not just logic, and vice-versa. Also, the "p exists because of

I enjoyed this read, but I am noticing that people who claim to have aphantasia seem to write about themselves and their experiences an awful lot. I doubt the phenomenon is real. Some people doubt that sun-sneezing is real, so I can enterta

I get the impression that these people desperately want to study philosophy but for some reason can't be bothered to get formal training because it would be too humbling for them. I call it "small fishbowl syndrome," but mayb

Or, imagine if they just froze the CSS spec at some point and allowed tools and methodologies to catch up.

by vehemenz 1y ago
I don't see how that's possible. My experience has been the exact opposite. When you say "handwritten CSS selectors and classes," what you really mean is learning a unique codebase with high levels of abstraction that ma

Actually, this is the same way it's used in America. Maybe there's a subtle distinction in rare cases, but it's been more or less deflated. There might be some boomer grammar prescriptivists who are saying otherwise, but they

This looks like a false equivalence. Why are we comparing a commonly-accepted usage, hundreds of years old, to what amounts to a spelling error?
195.
by vehemenz 1y ago
Agreed. For the most part it's been deflated to a synonym. The analysis goes too deep into past usage which has mostly become obsolete.

That's a quaint way of saying "another"—not appropriate for formal use—but not quite incorrect either.

I don't think all correction is merely class signaling. Sometimes it's teaching others how to properly class signal, which is slightly less cynical. We all judge others based on the grammatical or spelling errors that others make.

Both are "correct." I'm not saying this is why, but there are many dialects in British English, so it might be more difficult to pin down what is "correct" compared to American English.

Native speakers don't think so, but I suppose that's why you're nonnative—"and try" is completely conventional, idiomatic, and correct (even if it breaks a pattern, but that's English for you). Should "of&

The answer isn't as sexy as the question. Ontological questions, and therefore mereological questions, are a matter of convention based on how closely-associated relations—like how the "parts" of the "car" function—

On the other hand, most people double down even when they've been thoroughly corrected. I find that behavior even worse, somehow, than the typical, curt "make OP wrong" response.

I got 7% with uBO Lite on iOS. The test doesn't seem that reliable.

It's even better than you say because the free version—for Safari only—works very well.

The point is that Safari's extension system requires using the App Store, not that it's inherently safer. In some ways, the "App" model that Safari uses could be more unsafe, regardless of Apple's code review. Nonet

The problem is that people like us use Homebrew (and tell our families to), so there’s little incentive to complain loudly about this issue. Browser extensions and the occasional one-off app are the only reasons to go there.

Some open source projects have paid benefits for donors, like a private chat and/or issue tracker. Combine that with a very basic EULA/SLA, and it becomes nore easily justifiable as a business expense.

What do you mean by "proper" and "semantic?" The CSS spec never took much of an opinion on how classes should be organized or mapped to elements in the DOM. It's a technical standard. The way people used to write hi
