    Can also map caps lock as ctrl. Ctrl+[ is esc in vim.

    I get that people have a handful of reasons why they would prefer that the headphone jack sticks around. But do you think that in 10 years, and if not that, in 100 years, that the …

    Your original outburst began with negativity and calling names. I pointed that out, and it turned into a conversation of whether comments that have consensus are good advice. And c…

    It's not a great use of time to argue with strangers about nothings on a message board, but people do what they do.

    Seems like there's a few things going on here. It is possible to make a moral statement on minimal information, as you did. It's not very a helpful or useful statement, but there i…

    Anyone can post any "advice' here. I explicitly stated that the class of advice you gave is not actionable or helpful. Not only is #5 not a particularly strong position, but the po…

    No, you certainly can't speak for me. I have no empathy or relevant experience regarding betrayal, I simply wanted to point out how your response was more irrational than rational.…

    The problem is that this is your subjective interpretation of what YOU think the consensus is. This is what you think other people think is wrong. Why should someone on this board …

    It's fine to use intuition, but it's extremely important to be able to reflect and recognize on its shortcomings, which is that you may be inadvertently layering your own subjectiv…

    There are a few things getting conflated here. 1. What the OP should do. 2. What the majority consensus is 3. How you subjectively feel about the majority consensus. 4. How the OP …

    This is a nonsensical comment. With the information we are given, there's hardly any basis to conclude anything about: 1. Who is betraying who 2. Who should take ownership of the s…

    Good point, people were speculating that the innards would be swappable, but actually it looks like the model is that you keep the band, but swap the watchpiece. So when V2 comes o…

    We should look at the bigger picture though, past our subjective preferences. Lyft/Uber should be exciting from a business perspective to the HN community because it represents a b…

    The mistake here is that you are conflating your subjective preference with reality. You are implicitly evaluating something against your own context, but to understand why twitter…

    I understand how a watch guy would have strong feelings about the emotions and ideas behind a watch. But I think he is missing the greater context. When an object has a permanence …

    Twitch is a great marketing platform for games/new games and this opens up the ability for Twitch/streamers to monetize through Amazon referrals. For now, Amazon is selling physica…

    While most posts are touching on privacy or failure cases, I am still struggling to understand this product from a social perspective. First of all, this general idea has been floa…

    Having gone through a similar process, and coming out on the other end, my impression is that it really doesn't matter which school you go to. All that matters is how you spend you…

    And you exemplify the kind of self-righteous person that probably spews this kind of junk daily. The reason people work on sexting apps over curing cancer is because it is a more h…

    Life extension is only rational in a very limited sense. In the greater scope of the universe, all things must die. The rational outlook is to see our position in this context. Our…

    It's a bit silly that the biggest thread in this topic is about sci-fi/realism, when this is not even remotely the concern of the movie. These really aren't the tools or context in…

    A reasonable direction go to would be: 1. reduce the range of gear power, make the average gear drop 80-90% of the maximum roll for the piece. 2. make the best pieces account bound…
