It seems very metaphorical, so I might have not gotten the correct meaning either, however I believe it's talking about people making sentences more complex for no reason. English teachers consider writing to be something that needs to

I believe it's a requirement of font forge that they're using. It requires file paths, and it will be doing a large amount of reading. Easiest way of solving this is probably just to fake that your memory is a hard drive.

Don't just kill an idea because it only helps x% and wait for something that helps 100%. You'll be waiting a long time.

We shouldn't need complete backwards compatibility on a command that is completely new, surely? That would limit the amount of improvement that could be made dramatically. Also, as a side note, why do you enjoy using machine readable

Nice project, a group I worked on did something very similar with retrieving questions from a syllabus. Is this open source? I'd be fascinated to see similarities/differences in our approaches.

I saw an article from about 15 years ago that said Comcast blocked VPNs for a few weeks as a "test". Apparently the test was stopped because a large amount of businesses complained that they required VPNs to access their internal

Currently living in the UK, perhaps 90% of the recipe books and equipment I currently have in my house are Imperial. Definitely do value that as an option.

Don't all banks do this? Here in the UK it basically seems mandatory. Try to change your password/phone/email, they'll send you an actual letter which has a passcode you need to enter in to the website. Although mine

As a point, what are your thoughts of a Meritocracy as a paradigm to follow? Nationalise everything, pay everyone an equal amount, to begin with, but based on their "merits" boost their pay. Seems to have all the advantages of c

Is anyone else getting consistently slower speeds on their GPU compared with their CPU? I seem to be getting: CPU: 0.426s ±7.6% GPU: 2.399s ±4.7% Running Chrome, Latest Stable. Windows 7. It seems odd to me that it would take 6x longer

Overtaken by HTML templating languages, gems and a dozen other things with the same name. Eventually these items reach such a density to form a black hole, sucking through the older items, perhaps to another place in spacetime.

I think it's just trying to emulate a colloquial tone, actually being written by a number of individuals (or at least being updated by multiple people).

Tempted to say it's a service, and the majority of these will want to run as root instead of any particular user. So in this sense the default makes sense.

We don't use CSS Grid, 40% of our users don't support it in their browser. Judging by the five hours this post has been up, I feel like a lot of Hacker News doesn't use it either. However, when support for it does go up, we&

You don't trust that third-party server with any information, it simply makes the initial link between the two parties, like a DNS, that it needs to send the encrypted information to. An evil relay server could not send the information
