Starlink constellations will lead to a world where there is absolutely nowhere you can go where you cant see man-made junk. No truly pristine wilderness anywhere without being able…

I don't think this is necessarily good or even desirable, a lot of the SNES music was composed with the compression in mind and sounds off and weird when "remastered" like this. Li…

Cool, obviously a lot of people are going to quibble about the default lineup (wheres Iosevka?) but for anyone who hasn't nailed down a preference it seems great!

Do you go to the doctor if you get a cold? Why would these things show up in your medical journal?

We had a wasps nest last summer inside the wall under the eaves of our house, some kid from the exterminator's came with a long telescoping rod and puffed some kind of white powder…

The outdoor air isn't really relevant, the issue is human activity (breathing, showering, laundry, etc.) raising the indoor humidity when combined with low indoor temperatures caus…

10C is a great indoor temperature if you want condensation everywhere and eventually mold, but that's a price worth paying to not be considered "wimpy" I suppose? https://www.homeb…

No, it has good defaults. See also: https://prettier.io/docs/option-philosophy

Poorly made slop aside, your framing of this just makes it look and sound like you're extremely bitter over losing a hackathon (?) to this guy. I think you should've focused on the…

Judging by his name, Turkey

They mostly seem interested in JRPG anime slop, and even then Expedition 33 was released just this year and is probably the best example of that genre from the last 20 years? That'…

Presumably that's how many users they had 2 weeks ago, as indicated by the giant "Recent" indicator and the dates? You can always switch to "All Data".

I have never been able to understand the argument about the supposed high water use - the water doesn't magically cease to exist after it's been used to cool a datacenter. You put …

You need to realize that open palm slapping your 2 year old (in public, no less) for accidentally kicking a table is not an "obvious attempt to generate outrage" when the act itsel…

Canada allows medically assisted suicide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada

I don't mind the widgets, but agree on the colors. The water being teal and non-built areas being mint looks both unnatural and has worse contrast, at least to my eye. It's like th…

I conversely think it's much better that it's made by just one very opinionated person. Sure, one could argue that some stuff is "wrong" but does it really matter when it's all so …

In my experience there is practically no need to use multi-cursor editing if you're extracting components or partials where appropriate, as is usually the case nowadays. There's al…

From my old WoW-playing days, I was given to understand that : was awkward to reach on cyrillic keyboards, so many of the russians skipped it and just used ) or even %) sometimes (…

The real reason people moved to the infinite ones is that the determinate progress bar is almost never accurate or representative, hence useless. Like beyond truly "dumb" tasks lik…

That's not the fault of the underlying technology, if anything it will be EASIER for predatory adTech to display such things when the entire UI is rendered in an opaque -equivalent…

Yeah, that's why absolutely nobody bought color TVs back when those first became available.. /s People care about things looking nice. In particular, people who pay others to creat…

I'd be very shocked if the percentage of all human users that have JS disabled is more than I don't think the demographic is realistically relevant.

Had the same issue a while back, had a hell of a time figuring out why one of my screens would flicker or shut off momentarily whenever my girlfriend sat down at her desk (which is…
