Is there a filter for device function somewhere that I just missed? I don't care about games that aren't available on any device that I already own.

I clicked the comments here just to find out what type 1 means, I saw that the site was called "typenetwork", and that didn't mean anything to me. It might not be clickbait as in i…

Why? I live in a country where I pick a party to represent me in the national government, not a local person, and it seems to work just fine.

Ok, now I have read several of your replies in this thread that are basically all arguing the same thing, so, I'm basically replying to more than just this one post. When you say "…

Not op, but I think it means that the cooling system contains a gas that if released (it would normally not be released at all), it would do the same amount of harm to the environm…

I guess it depends on the topic. If the topic is some change in the latest release of a programming language, I usually find the comments here to be helpful. But if the topic is gl…

I agree about the comments here often being the most interesting part. But I think that the best way to start the conversation is usually with a well-written article. If there woul…

I have other sources that I read when I want general information about what is going on in the world. HN is something that I read for a very specific subset of information. I don't…

uuid = 128-bit int for a database. the "abc-1234-abc...." is just a representation of that int. So, if we think about it as using a int-128 or a string[~25], one of them takes more…
