I'm sorry, dang, I can't stop at this point: I've set my sights on glorious hacker news oblivion and I will stop at nothing to achieve it. I recommend you ban this account. I am fully prepared to become a martyr to the cause of saving the world from self-satisfied tech knobs. I have reconciled myself to this fate. Hit me.
name some free alternatives.
? It tells you what to build. It doesnt help you find pieces.
It doesnt have to be considered self congratulatory or smug, or indeed an indictment. The gradual erosion of any need for individual thought or creativity is a real problem nowadays. The existence of a tool like this is just a shame.
"Imagine if we responded in the same way to real-life accidents."
On Error Resume Next is _exactly_ how real life situations should be responded to. Instead of On Error Share On Socials.
I explained why its awful.
Whatever do you mean by "dont know what pieces you have" or "want to enjoy the act of following directions". This is vintage HN absurdity.
Only your last point is not nonsense. Dont use the app.
Awful. What's wrong with just using your imagination. Truly awful.
Yes you can.
Dont read anything else on this page. Just go forth and develop. You can do it.
Awful. Truly awful. So much of today's world reduces humans to playing a bit part in their own existence.
What do you mean "what was the issue that required the pasting of bubble sort code"? Are you responding to my comment?
"The benefits to me of not having physical menus is huge."
Come now. Let's not get carried away.
There is some good advice in this post. When something is broken, dont fix it until you have a test that demonstrates the issue.
I wish I could reply to the comment in which it is claimed that the news reported mass graves were being dug in Central Park.
I enjoyed that. But I'd like to know how Geraldine's marriage turned out.
Exactly. They say this in the study:
---
Our empirical analysis is based on original survey data collected from social
science students at Goethe University Frankfurt. We are certainly not under the im-
pression that our sample is representative of university students in general (or the
wider public, for that matter). On the contrary, we purposefully consider the social
science studentship at Frankfurt as a most likely case (George and Bennett 2005;
Gerring 2007)

..a fact that was obviously overlooked by the outraged masses on Twitter.
What3Words is only a business due to the stupidity of the US patent system, in which, apparently, you can claim to own anything.
Does it have plumbing? Wiring? Or did they 3D print a shelter.
You don't _need_ to say exacerbate instead of 'make worse', but it's a cool sounding word, so, like, why not. You wouldnt use it as a replacement for 'make worse' every time, though..there are instances where it just sounds wrong.
Defenestrate, though, is a joke word. You can't say defenestrate without tongue firmly in cheek.
@chongli This is very true, the "warrior mindset". It's the prevailing mindset, to a certain extent, with the Australian police too. As an example, drink-driving ads in Australia typically feature a stern face behind a pair of ray-bans and a message to the effect that the police are going to be hunting the civilians. "You're in our sights". "Stop it or cop it", etc. Very divisive, and bound to encourage the warrior mentality in a certain proportion of the police force.
This separation of police and civilian is the core of the problem. The citizens of a country need to be able to perceive members of the police force as "one of us", rather than "one of them". In some countries the only real obstacle to reaching that point is that some people won't strictly adhere to a policy of de-escalation. In other countries there are of course far bigger, institutional, issues at play.
What a pile of entitled nonsense. "Down" to the suburbs? From "up" in the rarefied intellectual world of pointless internet companies, I suppose. People don't like this kind of condescension, with good reason. And how about that slab of concrete. What an achievement! The poor suburbanites must find it a true thing of wonder.
You should definitely roll your own, to be certain that the government is not stealing your secrets. They can send the information to computers on the internets now without your knowledge.
