Thank you both for adding these comments. I'm older than you, mid-40s now, and I'm _just_ starting to get treatment for ADHD after a lot of unnecessary struggles. I'm sure that people like the root of this thread mean well, b

Nah, this was never really about lexicographic sorting. Pre-semver, there was general consensus between systems like dpkg and RPM about how version numbers worked. This is a bit of a simplification, but it roughly works out like this: * Spl

You are reacting to a factually incorrect statement. You do not lose access to games you paid for if your Pro subscription is canceled.

I agree! It felt like reading a (less egregious version of a) Trump denial, with the same impact -- no one cared before, but now it's a thing. As sibling points out though, we may just not be the target audience.

I use Apple products at work, and am otherwise not very invested in the world of Apple. I frequently will have to look up how to accomplish a task or get a particular piece of software working, and the author will assume that I'm famil

I've spoken before about how much I like Zulip. I don't know if it's any more stable or available than Slack, but I do like that the fundamental concepts exposed by Zulip actually encourage focused, productive conversation

That's true at a lot of organizations. The cost of a false positive hire typically vastly outweighs the cost of a false negative, particularly when you have the luxury of being perceived as a premiere employer in the space (from which

Be careful with terminology. BE-4 and Raptor are both staged combustion methalox engines. Raptor is full-flow staged combustion, while BE-4 is oxidizer-rich staged combustion.

The article does not claim that the SSME is full flow; as described in the quote you pulled, it's fuel-rich. BE-4 is not full flow, but oxidizer-rich ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion_cycle#Oxidiz...
