Let me guess: you hold some crank views that aren't shared by the people who maintain Wikipedia, and you find that upsetting? That's not a conspiracy, it's just people not agreeing with you.

Because one kind of thing helps people and the other kind of thing inflicts pointless cruelty on the innocent. And the regime loves pointless cruelty.

Garfield Minus Garfield has the same bleak sense of desolation as Goya's "The Dog". Just wonderful.

OK, fun. What can we do to mitigate this until it gets patched?

I'm generally in favour of the joycons as a concept. They make multiplayer party games a breeze. But the execution in the Switch 1 is flawed. They're on the small side, and generally fiddly. If the joycons for the Switch 2 are lar

I know it's a typo but this: > what more could a shell? Is quite good. It could almost be the tag line for fish shell.

My hot take is that the allure of parser-generators is mostly academic. If you're designing a language it's good practice to write out a formal grammar for it, and then it feels like it should be possible to just feed that grammar

Sometimes I feel bad when I generate a UUID without using it for anything. Like I've wasted it.

The fundamental mistake is in trying to take input for one purpose and transform it for another purpose. Just have the user fill in an additional field for their name as it appears on bank statements, or whatever the second purpose is. Tryi

Seems like a bit of a leap from the renaming of birds to collapse? Can you explain the causal chain there?

I would be _very_, very cautious with this. The problem is precisely that the system presents itself in a way that implies more than it actually has going on. Users will naturally assume there is a real parent-child relationship in the unde

Why does it matter to you?

Could we not do this kind of shit here please? Using trans people as the punchline of a joke is offensive and sends the message that we're not welcome here.

Is this kind of bigoted nonsense really welcome on HN? Are we that kind of people?

by junek 3y ago
Nah, trans people have been around a lot longer than this. It's more like left-handedness (or good old homosexuality), in that the rate of incidence is not increasing but rather that social repression has backed off slightly and people

The example is not simply a compliment, it's an _objectifying_ comment. That's the issue. Try giving a compliment that addresses the person as a human being with real experiences, thoughts, and accomplishments, rather than regardi

Yes, that comment _is_ creepy and objectifying (regarding a woman as an ideal object rather than as a person). If men want to be less lonely then they need to work on treating women as fellow human beings and not acting so entitled.

It's not a matter of not wanting to be spoken to in general, but specifically not wanting creepy, objectifying comments.
