This was the feature I wanted the most on Github... until I started using jj. I know that jj isn't for everyone, but for me it's been trivial to see the state of and update all the…

Here's the simplest form I could distill it to. The other comments I find quite verbose or confusing, no offense intended. x: Ann's current age y: The age difference between Ann an…

Uhhh... what? The OP is right; even if you do it intuitively it's still algebra. If you need a proverb to justify it: Just because your hammer is made of stone doesn't make it less…

This works really well for me but, when I get out of the car or off the subway, then I get a bit of vertigo. I’m really afraid that using the feature too much would make the vertig…

One thing I don't quite get is how trusted publishing is supposed to be more secure. It still allows publishing if they pwn your workflow. Is it purely more secure because they can…

Am I wrong in thinking this comment is absolutely bonkers? It's basically a conspiracy theory. When I lead teams and thought of how to motivate them to get certain things done, lik…

That was the first thing that popped out and made me distrust the whole wiki; there's only One Right Way to store money (as integers[1], as you said) and it should have been explic…

Because it is. The average (and above-average?) investor really does not understand tech.

I feel like it's the Emperor's new clothes reading this article and seeing the praise it's getting. This sentence doesn't even make sense: > These products use very low level Linux…

> I suspect that Canada isn't fond of how Americans view guns I'm putting this into my overflowing bucket of internet comments that doesn't "get" Canadians. Sorry to be curt but, s…

> Though it can be argued it is an example of a functor (the library is mapped over two countries). Now that's a special kind of joke I can only find on HackerNews

It looks interesting but, like a lot of AI, looks correct but is not. Most of northwestern Canada says you can get there by road. If you look at Google Maps, there's no roads there…

Pretty cool distro! I switched to Bazzite myself but I've also seen a lot of popularity for CachyOS for gaming rigs.

People that haven't read Black Swan and bet on every "sure bet" they can see

pigouvian taxes are both a stronger disincentive and help cover externalized costs. if this moves nicotine to the black market then the people/government will still pay the cost wi…

> Despite this promising start, the conservation experiment wasn't to last, after a rival juice manufacturer called TicoFruit sued Del Oro, alleging that its competitor had "defile…

These are two pages telling two different things, albeit with the same stats. The information is presented by OP in a way to show the results of the Microsoft acquisition.

I think that's a fair criticism for issues where Linux devs might be blind to the friction a lot of Linux distros come with, but I don't think it's universal for all devs and for a…

> 1) Kernel-level DRM for multiplayer games (looking at you, Marathon) This finally forced me to quit League of Legends (this is a buff)

Is your argument that the world isn't deterministic and so we should also apply nondeterminism to filtering json data?

As a Canadian: hard agree. Beer without head is gross.

Huh. I have the opposite opinion. I'm monolingual English for all intents and purposes but I gathered that opinion from quite a few sources, including: - We had to take spelling te…

HA! I guess it's not as enforced as I expected.

A bit of a tangent, but I just want to say how, as a Canadian, I'm getting a lot of joy reading about this restaurant. It's a hilarious facsimile of a Canadian restaurant for a cou…
