    I didn't realize that they redrew the parts that don't change between frames.

    That's harsh. I believe the author really does get questions from people who want to register a well known path, and probably some of them really failed to consider sites with ~use…

    Same as a NSFW tag. It's not about adding to the discussion; it's a very brief warning to users who don't want to see that kind of content, and its brevity makes it come at almost …

    I mean, I also prefer to consume subtitled content, but sometimes it's nice to have the option to look away from the screen and not miss dialog. Some video content can even be cons…

    I clicked-through on one of the sources (a blog post on "ohmaticelectrical"), and the website is either hacked or is just really scummy. Here's what I was greeted with: https://img…

    That explains it for some people, but there's something more here. Hell, I've personally mentored people who struggled with git and I could feel their struggle. I'm not saying that…

    Are there any active gnome 2 forks? That's when I left gnome, too, and I haven't found anything I like as well.

    Allowing just anybody to rent npmjs.help feels like aiding and abetting.

    I'm so stoked. Pebble was the only smart watch that I actually liked and used. My apple watch just sits on a shelf. My fitbit I only wear when sleeping. My pebble unfortunately bro…

    The nit is that the change observed was not development?

    Van Gogh used art to transform his misery, illness, and madness into scenes peace and beauty. If he were to paint gas plumes, then looking at those plumes would fill you with feeli…

    There might be someone hopelessly addicted to amateur astronomy, frequently disrupting their sleep schedule and taking out usurious loans to pay for their equipment. But, that's no…

    My ~/bin directory is not directly version controlled. It primarily consists of symlinks, often stripping file extensions from shell scripts (e.g., ~/bin/foobar links to ~/src/foob…

    You're perhaps confusing Colorado with a bunch of the states around it. Sure, its economy looks small compared to California's, but California's economy is mind-bogglingly vast. No…

    I can't speak to sheep specifically, but we use different species of goats and cattle and chickens when raised for meat vs for dairy or eggs. Still, dairy cows do eventually become…

    I just exported the registry on my personal windows machine to see. It was 400 MB as a .reg file and zipped down to less than a tenth of that. I'm not sure what's common, but clear…
