That's unfortunate. My muscle memory sometimes makes me open DevTools even unintentionally when I try to copy text and press Ctrl+Shift+C.

Just as there is the law of conservation of energy, there is also the law of conservation of momentum. Both explain it equally well IMO.

I heard it just a couple years ago, when I used a 2G phone. 3G and 4G don’t have that fault.

In Polish em dash is supposed to be surrounded with spaces. I got that rule ingrained in my subconscious so heavily that I feel very uneasy looking at em dashes without spaces even in English. Same way if someone didn’t put a space after a

The latter doesn't make for as exciting a story.

I liked Star Trek TOS (but not the films), mainly for the character development of Spock, and how interpersonal conflicts were handled. Also for the showing of people who strove to be the best of themselves, working on their self-control an

For a post-scarcity economy, they were sure running out of dilithium pretty frequently.

Instagram photos of faces already don’t look right. They are horribly smoothed out and glowing. And people seem to like it.

Yeah, I got that part. I've just assumed that would be handled by a server process in a microkernel architecture. But I've just checked seL4 and it has in-kernel support for the console as well. That's not what I expected.

It's weird to me that text encoding is put in the domain of the kernel. But I guess it's the way it needs to be until the world moves to microkernels.

What’s an execution state? From my reading of this post, it doesn’t seem to be an architecture.

I don’t know about .NET, but REPLs don’t need to have anything to do with terminals. One example of a REPL are Swift Playgrounds in XCode. Jupyter Notebooks are also a kind of REPL.

I wanted to use Nix on Mac, but the only supported setup is the one that puts a persistent daemon in the background, which just doesn't sit well with me for a package manager – something that I use maybe once a month, maybe even less.

You're temporally ambivalent.

That also means that making substrings requires both additional memory and time. Penny wise, dollar stupid. Not to mention the cycles wasted on recomputing strlen().

I prefer to have those 104 cases all in one place (as is the case, when it is a switch statement) rather than each in a separate file, that I need to jump around between now (as is the case with polymorphism). This situation is a bit analog

I agree it’s good style, but surrounding code using bad style is still poor excuse for writing macros which break.

do {…} while (0) is a statement, so it can be put between “if (…)” and “; else”, while just {…} would result in a syntax error due to a hanging else.

"we don't have a clue" is not a theory about the origin. It's a theory about your knowledge of the origin. It's not in the pool of competing theories you're considering in this context.

My issue is not that things are laggy in this case, but that they are 5 times as laggy as the command line interface. > You probably do not want to check out everything at once. I do, if I want to compile the project, browse its histor

Not the commenter you're replying to, but I've also struggled with Emacs freezing whenever I used Magit. See < https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34946051 >.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Clone < https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src >. 2. Navigate to this directory in Emacs dired. 3. Run magit-status . 4. Observe how long it takes for Emacs to become responsive agai
