More competition is better than less.
I don't understand the personal attack and victim blaming here. Who wouldn't want to do anything in their power to seek justice after being harmed?
The hit piece you claimed as "mild" accused Scott of hypocrisy, discrimination, prejudice, insecurity, ego, and gatekeeping.
I think OP could be just as astute as you meant. They probably know that Altman is engaging in marketing, but still tried to make a case that it shouldn't be a good strategy and instead illustrates his character. Not that I disagree, as people could see the unnecessary drama as a sign of immature behavior and a negative net result in the long term, regardless if it generates press today. As many other commenters remarked, they will from now think twice about trusting Altman's ventures in the future in light of this long-winded tweet.
Maybe because OP likes images that were actually taken and stock images are fine that way. Different people can have different preferences.
Of course, I don't disagree with you. But OP tried to refute the fact in their parent comment that using adblock is generally better than relying on browser's pop-up blocking. However, adblock does no worse than pop-up blocking in the specific case of non-window pop-ups, making it irrelevant in the context.
And I agree that these types of ads remain a hard to solve problem today.
Nor will pop-up blocking I'm afraid.
> Here’s a quick test. Try to find the function definition here
It's funny that in the first example where the author asked the viewers to find the function definition, I was able to do so faster with the colorful syntax highlighting he considered wrong.
To recognize different elements of code is more than just colors, but actual syntaxes of the language and the general shapes of code blocks.
It's a matter of taste, and in my decades of programming, I've found colleagues and many teams trying for all kinds of fancy themes only to come back with a "boring" one, like Material Theme, which is also my main driver nowadays.
I think the author had some good ideas, particularly around literals (what he called constants), rejection of the requirement for equal brightness, and emphasizing comments. The author is more than welcome to bring his version of perfect syntax highlighting to the market of ideas. Its adoption should prove it if his idea wins.

It's also good practice to always clean thoroughly with soap after each toilet session, except where it's impossible like a public restroom.
Main heading of an article
The United States has a lot of unique traits that few other countries have (American exceptionalism), birthright citizenship being just one characteristic. I'd think an executive order is just testing the water, but to change it definitively requires a constitutional amendment.
In any angle of view, those people are clearly subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Trump issued an executive order ending birthright citizenship in America.
I guess they meant out of 100, with 100 being the brightest for their screen.
I couldn't believe it. WebStorm is easily among the best IDEs for web work (some of my coworkers would say the best) today.
They became a serious VPS contender amongst DigitalOcean, Linode, and other similar providers. DigitalOcean raised prices while Hetzner gave more powerful server capacity (read double) at lower price points. Hetzner has been increasingly popular in self-hosting communities.
I started using their services since last year for some of the operations, including business, and it's been rock solid. I plan on increasing usage, but will hold on this new object storage offering.
For a research article, modifiers may be more important in imposing constraints and necessary insights in cause and effect. The full title of this article is "Dance training is superior to
repetitive physical exercise in inducing brain plasticity
in the elderly".
While the current title on HN is "Dance training superior to physical exercise in inducing brain plasticity".
That's very interesting, thanks! I just learned that courts actually tend to grant monetary damages more frequently than specific performance in general.
However, I have always maintained that making the plaintiff whole should bias toward specific performance. At least that's what I gathered from law classes. In many enterprise partnerships, the specific arrangements are core to the business structures. For example, Bob and Alice agreed to be partners in a millions-dollar business. Bob suddenly kicked Alice out without a valid reason, breaching the contract. Of course, Alice's main remedy should be to be back in the business, not receiving monetary damage that is not just difficult to measure, but also not in Alice's mind or best interest at all.
You can sue for many reasons. For example, when a party breaks a contract, the other party can sue to compel the contract to be performed as agreed.
