Do you call any negative prognosis based on extrapolation of an observable downward trend a slippery slope?

Don't worry. Sooner or later this stuff will be mandatory and you'll be obligated to get your state-issued terminal. Social credits will do, if you have no money. For the skeptical…

Lots of places still use PVC covering commonly called linoleum. And laminate that I see everywhere is not so technologically remote, with its plastic surface.

Even if you operate only by the given definition, it directly states one is a subset of the other. Given that you're just selectively nitpicking by now, I don't think you're really…

Oh, man, taking a win when the opponent concedes ground is no fun at all, right? > So you are in fact claiming you were joking? Never claimed so. The first message was making fun o…

Never claimed I did. My first message, however, literally says the title is hilarious or outrageous, depending on your personality, all due to the ambiguity. I tried to make fun of…

> in English and many other languages as well - pretty much all Germanic languages Absolutely not. In German itself it's "gegen" - "against". In French and Spanish you definitely w…

A retina transplant is for vision, not for blindness. And you'd lose the bet, in my case that would be a word that dual-serves as a directional preposition meaning "away"/"from" an…

The keyword there is "treatment". It can be "cure" or "remedy" or something like that. But the title has "transplants". The contrast is obvious, though I'm not native, so YMMV.

Absolutely outrageous/hilarious clickbait title. It's not for autism but totally opposite.

This is cute, but the UI is uncannily not there (I think there were multiple attempts of designing the XP for web already which looked more authentic). But my biggest gripe is, why…

You're saying your experience with GS is even worse than with eBay, right? How can it be?

I don't see how your argument makes sense. It's all just bits of entropy in the end, be it knowing a port to connect to or a character in your key.

Considering its ubiquitous and regular consumption in general population, doesn't alcohol shift the balance in favour of ibuprofen? Also, possible blood clotting or stomach issues …

I'm all for Win32, but those odd-shapes and custom skins were the precursors and the normalizing precedent for the current default mentality of "visual identity = branding" that's …

> Sadly, the hang was deterministic: Huh, someone's in it for the thrill of the hunt, I see...

Yeah, I don't generally live in MC to the same extent I do in DC when I'm on Windows. I rarely do anything besides the basics (F5/F6) when managing files in MC, and for advanced st…

It's perfectly valid to be second- and further-level inspired and even dislike/reject some aspects of the predecessors.

Isn't this the point if TUI/GUI that you don't have to? Common things should be shortcutted, some accessible from menus for discoverability. Command entering is just one if the "mo…

If I could code with a piece of music playing in the background and not lose focus means it's not worth listening at all. Very rarely I use custom-filtered (brownish) noise to help…

This might be not so far from the truth, if you count total loc written and rewritten during the development cycle, not just the final number. Not everybody is Dijkstra.

This is exactly why ReStructured Text is better/worse.

For a layperson it's clear that it's either "Writings" and "Talks", or "Readings" and "'Listenings", but CPP profeciency is in an inverse relation with being apt in taxonomy, it lo…

At least both get paid in not-pretend money.
