From mobile it's a bit unclear that there's a whole website beside this article. I, for one, noticed the hamburger menu only after I read your comment. I suppose GP had the same pr…

That's still not what this is about. Take the example in the article: people who don't write code 100% of the time but have to think about mechanical and electrical engineering con…

No, ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE!

On the 50 is Miguel de Cervantes (author of Don Quixote). On the 200 is Bertha von Suttner, the first woman to win a Nobel peace prize. I admit I had to look her up.

> The days of people being intimidated by computers have been over for a while now so I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Oh, I wish... We have a couple of applicatio…

We're talking about public websites. Nobody moved the goalpost. It's always been about online presence, hence public websites.

There's nothing wrong with a tidy notebook. The point of TFA seems to me: "do what works for you". If keeping your netbook tidy is at the expense of using it, than maybe that means…

Or simply: that's what fits my home and what I can afford. I work in a tiny room and the only place a desk fits is in the corner, so I have a small corner desk that fits there, wit…

Might as well go with shorthand, then. I'm not even joking. I guess it's harder to learn an additional script used only when writing and transcribing, but I wonder if it would make…

That's how I was taught to do it, and I always found it weird because it looks like an S and a C, while in my language it's pronounced in exactly the opposite way. We don't have ma…

A couple of reasons that come to mind: - For the same reasons people run js server-side: single codebase in the same language; familiarity with the language; other? - Because some …

> Sort of embarrassing that anyone vouched for this comment I'm the one who vouched it. I don't check commenters' history before doing it. Maybe I should. My LLM-detector is appare…

Hence why it's an "introduction" :)

Ok, but is this because of tree-style discussions or is it because of up/downvote mechanics? Or because of their combination? Or is it completely unrelated and has more to do with …

From your link > Smol (often paired with lorge or bean), is an Internet slang term used to describe any animal, character, or object that is considered very tiny and cute So how's …

Uh? They're the second group they talk about, just after the Romanians.

> In EU Where, exactly? > Union fees are usually exempt from tax What do you mean? You pay taxes on other membership fees?

Oh, there's plenty! Off of the top of my web history https://webring.theoldnet.com/ https://0uts1de.hisvirusness.com/ And of course a list of webrings https://petrapixel.neocities.…

I'm using Waterfox on desktop at the moment, but I really wish Mozilla would get their act back together and make all the forks unnecessary. I'm not saying they need to die: I only…

I don't know, but maybe spending 15 years working on something that you felt was not only a job but also in part a mission shapes a lot of you as a person and you want to express y…

As the OP says, the point is not that they needed unpaid work, if that's what you mean. The point is that volunteers shaped what Firefox, MDN, Thunderbird, Mozilla itself were.
