or, if you are replaying a single-player game that you saved+loaded (i.e. the replay only worked if the full game happened in one go without any loads).

Well thats good then, it means that they'll always need the likes of Scotty, LaForge, Torres and O'Brien ;)

> plenty of projects changed licenses lol. They usually did that with approval from existing license holders (except when they didn't, those were the bad cases for sure).

> that it would be "simpler" to just... not do what I asked That sounds too close to what I feel on some days xD

That and PROGRA~1 brings back memories.

Yep it was rebranded: https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/429582...

Well the current US Administration would agree - the law doesn't matter, we need to be "pragmatic" and do what we think is right. Rules be damned. Once you deviate a bit from the s…

Yep there's no need to apologize, you've been very courteous and took all that feedback constructively. Good stuff :)

I think you and the parent comment are onto something. I also feel like the parent since I find it relatively difficult to read code that someone else wrote. My brain easily gets b…

Indeed! Bollywood makes it to HN xD

I use Firefox simply because the address bar UX is better. It prioritizes my history over search results, I almost never have more than 3-5 tabs open, so I rely heavily on typing a…

Reminds me of Plasma's ball widget: https://store.kde.org/p/1172489/ Apart from amusement, this served as a nice example when you are giving talks at universities trying to motivat…

I'm sorry we let you down :(

I find going through monthly statements quite cumbersome, so instead what works better is to enable notifications for each transaction. That way I just get an email when something …

I'd argue that your latter point (optimizing background apps) is majority of the improvement and this is something you can do in the OS regardless of where an app comes from (exclu…
