I now use "ASCII em-dashes" by using two hyphens -- like this. Or--if you prefer no spaces--like this.

I cannot understand what you're trying to say at all.

Ok but no one here actually implied that they think like this.

YouTube already supports that natively these days, although it's kind of hidden (and knowing Google, it might very well randomly disappear one day). Open the description of the vid…

In that case, how come they "left in the first days of the job" because "they saw what they were going to work on and peaced out"?

I seriously doubt saying "big blond haired baby who likes burger and fascism" instead of "Trump" would have made a difference for these people.

No, it's both. The purpose of high school is to give you a wide foundation on everything. The purpose of an undergraduate degree (in math) is to give you a wide foundation (in math…

What? This doesn't "need to" exist, it's just a funny parody that someone made.

No, and this is where this formal notion of basis I mentioned unfortunately diverges from what is perhaps more useful in practice. You can represent any function f: [-pi, pi] -> R …

The set of all real->real functions is still a vector space. This vector space also has a basis (even if it is not as useful): there is a (uncountably infinite) subset of real->rea…

GP's comment was about accepting this actively vs passively, not about being complicit.

Is there any reference to pigs being possessed with spirits that predate the New Testament?

> This might be okay for consumer apps, but maddeningly, the same doctrine gets applied to enterprise applications as well. I've literally heard non-techie employees of a Fortune 1…

I feel like this is kind of pedantic - if your definition of the word "political" renders their point moot, then clearly they must be using a different definition. But I understand…

I once had to solve a captcha in a foreign language because of that. Wasn't something obvious like motorcycles either, it was something like "click on all hamsters" in a grid full …

Here's another (seemingly finite) problem being analyzed with the same "Nim but with ordinal numbers" approach: https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/85984

I suppose the point is that it's not the voiceless glottal fricative? To my ears [ħ] sounds closer to [x] and [χ] than to [h] (even though the place of articulation is closer to [h…

> FluffyChat, Nheko, Cinny are all great fully featured apps and separate codebases Ok, I was mistaken about everything being an Element fork. To move the goalposts slightly though…

My team uses Matrix and I must say I'm not satisfied. There are messages that I get a notification for every time I open the app, and "mark as read" buttons that do nothing, especi…

> the kids wouldn't have even been able to download the app, which is explicitly marked as 17+ The kid is 17.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if this "missing piece of insight" is at least sometimes an illusion, as in the "monads are like burritos" fallacy [0]. Of course this doe…

What does a more recent language offer that C# doesn't and that would enable more powerful IDEs?

That doesn't sound like the original was the Agile manifesto?

In fact, Facebook is so sure they already have everyone that new users are often flagged as suspicious and banned by their automated tools without even doing anything. No other sit…

I feel like at this point, browsers should at least not prefer text/html if "open image in new tab" or similar is used.
