I personally am a fan of using lobste.rs and filtering for pdf only [0], it's not *just* research papers but that is the lion's share of it. Plus they've already got a community so (to the people complaining about lack of dis

Because a guidance counselor doing a good job is really boring, they ask you where you want to go to school, get you links to those applications, and maybe walk you through the application/point you to a campus resource that'll pr

I think speculation with literally no evidence is pointless at best, and actively harmful at worst, so we should really hold off on making guesses based on effectively nothing.

You could make it so you only get a flap the first time you write a letter for a given spot, so you could write and backspace for the flap but now you need two letters for the next one since when you "refill" that spot it won&#x27

I meant the Americas as a continent not the US specifically, and yeah I agree that Italy gets to be an authority on the subject. I was mainly replying to the other person taking "tomatoes are 100% American" to mean all tomatoes ar

If they're advertising it as a LinkedIn scraper then it is, and that seems to be what's cited as the actual problem.

No of course not, but there's a huge difference between someones bodily autonomy and using a service that you provide. Are you saying that companies should only be able to apply their terms of service to people who make accounts on the

A user agreement isn't just a "person with account" agreement, in fact, if you read the first sentence of the introduction [1] to their current one, you'll see it says > You agree that by clicking “Join Now”, “Join Li

What they mean is that they originate from the Americas, not that it's the only place they grow, meaning it's not an ancient Italian dish. It didn't become popular in Italian food until the 18th century [1] [1]: https:/

They bet on whether a horse or no horse has more legs, guy says a horse duh, other guy says haha but a horse has 4 legs and no horse has 5. This means horses don't have 5 legs so no horse has 5, but also taken very literally "no h

The thing is that if you want something portable where if the app goes down you can still use it, you don't have many options. There aren't really any formats that support the kind of note linking used in PKM by default, besides m

I disagree, it's little frictions like this that make it hard for newcomers to take the stage even when on paper they're better than established competitors. This is hackernews so obviously our population is going to be less likel

The trick is that an open hardware printer would likely have much cheaper cartridges, and typically people spend much much more on the ink than the printer. So even if the printer comes out as more expensive they can price gouge less on ink

This is needlessly pedantic. The point is that people need their wifi, their phone/data, food housing and utilities, that sort of thing. Companies like netflix, uber, etc. are all niceties that people will stop paying for when money ge

Black specifically or any solid color? If it's any solid color that makes sense, why should they implement a color picker and image generator themselves instead of just letting you use whatever picture you want, allowing you to go to a

I don't necessarily think that anyone was expecting anything else, it's just that VS Code is a great free tool, so even if you know it's probably going to go downhill over time it's hard to deny its effectiveness current

Ok but if it turns out to be fine, being overly careful means you didn't get to be as social as you otherwise would be. An inconvenience, sure, a degradation of your quality of life, yes, but nothing too major. If it does turn out to h

I don't think that's a good representation of what they're saying. They showed that the average number of friends that your friends will have is mu+std/mu, so if the distribution is anything but perfectly homogeneous the

I don't think their comment is supposed to be for or against, they're just explaining that there is at least one value to it. It might not be a good thing, but it is still a pretty serious value.

Well animals can hear sounds at frequencies that we can't, so the cutoff shouldn't be when we can detect something. But in that case, do we set a cutoff on the lowest/highest frequencies that we know some animal can hear? The

Because it's not the same as vim, they've made some fundamentally different choices and their default binds reflect that. I genuinely think helix stands to be better, it lacks the community and thus the extensions of vim/neov

I think you're right but for the wrong reason. Social media is insanely profitable, and when you anonymize that people wouldn't be as invested, so they want people in it personally and often. I don't think it has to do with t
