No, you completely had it correct. And sending an AI response to a question is the same semi-rude way to respond. The context here is that the person logging the ticket (or asking the original question by using AI to do it) is the one who i

Lol, then don't use Windows. Why anyone trusts their personal data to closed source software, and especially closed source software by an empirically hostile corporation like Microsoft is beyond me.

A Cloudflare fronted website can't handle HN frontpage levels of traffic? Then why does anybody use cloudflare?

>"Windows but with even less reliability and more security problems plus tech debt" To me that just sound like it will make ReactOS much more Windows-like. So it's probably a win for the project. \s

Tell that to Linus Torvalds. His whole job is just doing code review, and I'd argue he's better at coding now than he ever was before.

Well that was a whole other topic. And luckily it links to a page that explains the whole topic of what a "celestial sphere" is. Going to the page, I see I was indeed wrong about what it was, but now I see it is an abstract sphere

I've never heard of it before, and it makes perfect sense what it is from that intro. On a celestial sphere (planet, star, etc) the declination angle (being 0 is at the equator, being 90 degrees is the north pole of the sphere, being -

Yeah, it's not like they care about improving the state of the open source ecosystem anyway.

TFA doesn't provide any measurements, so how did you compare them?

Now it makes much more sense. I realize I misread "One solution is text-wrap:pretty" as "OUr solution is text-wrap:pretty". Combined with the fact that this was on the webkit blog. Thanks.

I'm confused, this was created by Webkit, but is currently only available on Chromium based browsers according to : https://caniuse.com/?search=text-wrap%20pretty How did that happen?

Yeah, corporations have the resources to do that kind of investment in Linux which random hobbiests don't. But why do they do it in the first place, instead of investing in their own obviously supiriour massively invested in OS's?

As sibling comments have correctly guessed, I was only responding to the "non-usable" part of the parent comment. But yeah, replace slack with IRC, email, or whatever you were using at work back in the day.

by executesorder66 2y ago
What do you mean non-usable? You could totally spam the work slack channel with these.

Yeah, because the cost of an internet connection/computer/cellphone got cheaper over the years. Microwaves were also for the few, and now they are cheap and most people have them. And microwaves got cheaper without having to resor
