What does "doesn't work" mean here, and who learns that lesson? E-mail is decentralized, but every now and then a hn post pops up, complaining about how you can't run your own email server these days. Billions of people

Well, it's not exactly the only blog post on this site about medieval pigs. At the bottom of the post there is a link to their other posts about those animals[0], of which there are 12 at this moment. It seems like some medievalists a

Do you have a source of the government "placing the blame for climate change on the backs of Dutch farmers"? The Dutch government wanted[0] to curb emissions, and since (high intensity) farms are huge polluters, some of the measur

For a new personal best you can even skip going to the in-store computer. The IKEA website can tell you where your item is, if you select the store you’re going to.

Haven’t we more or less done that? There will of course always be Markdown projects that don’t use CommonMark and that won’t change. But every note taking app and website I’ve that supports Markdown uses CommonMark. The only problem is that

I think that option has been available since way before ios16. The situation for Colemak is still that it’s possible to use an external keyboard with that layout, but there’s no on screen keyboard (unless you use a third party keyboard)

You seem to assume that everybody on this website knows what Ring UI is. But I didn't know and judging from quite a few other comments here, I wasn't the only one. All we had to go by was the title "JetBrains Ring UI" a

I don't but I do use, and am interested in, their software. So it's a bit disappointing to see a link to their site while using hn on mobile, only to get to a page that doesn't display anything useful.

I think you meant to reply to my other comment[0], since that's where I did make that argument? But as to your questions: > You don’t think anyone was hurt by the absolutely enormous amount of stress he chose to create? Fair point,

Their point is that no one was financially hurt. Nobody in this thread mentioned anything about people getting physically hurt, unless I’m missing something.

Are you suggesting that the men were known as Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar? Because that's wrong[0]. Augustus used this name and it became a title for roman Emperors, in reference to Julius Caesar. If people are talking about Caes

I know that that's what GDPR is supposed to be about, but it's not what the fast majority of the pop-ups are about. Most pop-ups I've encountered are explicitly about cookies, not about any other kind of tracking. And besides

I have (had, soon) this add-on and I very much care a out privacy. Blocking all cookies from non-whitelisted sites is more or less impossible with all the consent pop ups. Ant many of those pop ups make it really hard to reject cookies. So

This extention clicks on accept on every cookie notice you encountered. I don't think you can just block all those notices and expect sites to keep working.

Their point was related to outside temperatures, which is what most people use temperatures for. And although I've never used Fahrenheit for anything, I don't think the 100c = boiling water is useful in day-to-day life. I've

Oh, I didn't know about B5. I knew B size papers exist, but never looked into it. Will definitely look at B5 notepad next time I'll need to buy a new one, because like you I think A5 is a bit too small and A4 too big.
