I'd rephrase that as moving back toward search. Google wasn't always there, and even after it became popular, some time passed before the name was used as a verb. Personally, I Ask Jeeves to Lycos it.

Cheers for this. I'm old and that's why I thought it was BBCode. Markup is such a loose term that I couldn't figure out what the problem was. You've put it to rest now though, I get it, whew. Learned something new, pe

Thanks. Have to admit, I'm still confused, especially after reading the first sentence on that page... >Markdown is a lightweight markup language Clearly in over my head on this, I'm just going to stop using the term altogethe

Please explain why it's markdown. Is Reddit's link format not just BBCode [0]? Honest question, no snark. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

He already told you, left is up. The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate is on the right side, meaning left is up. EDIT: right&

Reddit markup doesn't work on ycombinator. Use square brackets and a number to designate the link [0] then put the URL at the bottom of your comment. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/StallmanWasRight/

Semantics? Don't be daft... Speaking out against something is battling it, battle is a verb in this context. Both Oxford and Webster agree [0,1]. Forceful suppression of pseudoscience can be achieved through law and education, see the

I have to disagree. Many people are trying to suppress pseudoscience; not because we fear it is true, but because disinformation is harmful to society as a whole. For example, anti-vaxers degrading herd immunity, or astrologists conning v

Just a guess, but it's probably because PS and GIMP are huge projects with years of work put into them -by teams of people. This is one guy. Not saying I don't welcome some competition in this area, but there are already tons of

It's not a straight face, it's a smirk, and they'll keep saying it so long as it bothers you. They'll happily eat dog shit if the opposition has to smell their breath. This is how populism works, and it's only goin

"its" is not the problem, the word "worse" is incorrect. EDIT: The original misguided pedant has now changed "worse" to "worst" in both instances; after downvoting me, of course.

Arriving on the page, I'm prompted to run 11, no... 13 scripts. After allowing everything from BBC and reloading, the page is still borked and I'm prompted to run 34 scripts. All of these third-parties surely have nothing but the

Thanks. You're correct and I overplayed it. It's clear that he's quoting the author, but racial tensions and identity politics have me running in paranoid mode these days. Forgot that this is Hacker News and not Tumblr; I do

My VPS, in Iceland, had a racist hostname on one of their servers; they had no idea and were quite embarrassed. Just wanted to be sure you weren't in the same boat, because the slur isn't exactly obvious. Apologies for wrongfully

No cars, in the real world, are driving around with significant coolant leaks. End of story. Talk to any repair shop. That's the crux of my argument. There is no scenario where one can continue to drive a car with a coolant leak. T

Every modern IC engine (and the majority of old ones) operates with a pressurized cooling system; they absolutely will not function properly with a leak. The average operating temperature of engine coolant is around 200F, the only reason it

I've found companion planting beneficial, but have had terrible luck with the corn aspect of 3-sisters. It seems best suited for warmer US zones (6+), where corn can go in the ground well before beans. Otherwise, the beans will quickl

Thanks for clearing it up. It looks like certain groups are using terms in ways that I'm not accustomed to. Now I need new words. Damned kids and your identity politics!

There's f.lux for Linux as well, but you'll probably want to add a GUI [1]. f.lux runs on most desktops and phones. Redshift seems to be the top choice for Linux users though, because f.lux lacks some basic features (like being ab

Isn't the point of this to get the existing hardware to work? Also, how is a Raspberry Pi (hardware) going to be reproduced in a shell (software)? I must be misunderstanding something here.
