    What examples of this are there? I've usually found Wikipedia to be quite equal opportunity, well rounded, and factual. They have their NPOV[1] policy, and seem impressively unbias…

    Folks are saying Bandcamp, but surely that's only for the few indie artists that are on there (in comparison to the wider music ecosystem covered by Spotify). Please explain if I'm…

    Bravo! Great read. I think you could consider reaching out to the Make project mailing list, to see if they would accept a patch to ensure the path is a valid file.

    I guess it's pretty subjective, but not all numeric types are signed, so I'm happy with my answer.

    I see what you mean, but I was going by the definition of "UUID" used on everyuuid.com. The UUID of 32 "f's" isn't in the list.

    The values are hexidecimal, so all "9s" isn't the biggest UUID, but all "f's". Specifically, I think: `ffffffff-ffff-4fff-bfff-ffffffffffff`. The "4" in the 3rd block is the only p…

    I was utterly disturbed by a story sent into the Kermode and Mayo radio show many years ago. The listener explained that their family went to the theatre, sat down in their seats t…

    I don't care so much about the physics side, it's just so bloody pretty. Is there anything like this that will play infinitely, with similar sliders to tweak the visuals? It'll loo…

    I'm gonna check this out - thanks. I also play this one which I think was posted on HN a while ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=go.lang.bintri...

    A couple of years ago Troy Hunt printed a map of where he lives in Gold Coast[0], using a separate piece of plastic underneath to show off the canal running by his house. I spent a…

    Are you American? Could you talk about some of the phrases and wordplay in here which didn't make sense to you? As a British person, this reads very easily, to the point that I'm s…

    This is no different to how many people behave on long haul flights anyway. Face mask on, eye mask on, ear plugs in. Isolated from everybody else as much as they can be, trying to …

    If you're looking for something to try I can recommend Into the Breach. As a turn-based strategy it works really nicely on a touch screen. I don't think I'm ever going to _get_ 3D …

    Yeah, I remember this trending as a sort of freeware/demo too. More info: https://worldofgoo.fandom.com/wiki/Tower_of_Goo_(game)

    Ha, that's an interesting take. My Dell work laptop has these (not full-sized) and I don't like them at all. There's nothing fun about trying to use the arrows and accidentally sli…

    Ah, mostly the same for me! (I'm very happy with it this way and wouldn't expect the site to change). But I do this on a couple of other text-heavy sites also, but not many. So oft…

    This is fair. It's similarly long, but I would say not as bulky nor ugly (and aesthetics matters a bit, as these are often in homes), so I just wanted to clarify we don't have thos…

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying you don't like how big and bulky it is? It's worth noting what you've linked is more for industrial use. You might see something l…
