Re:Ghost Cut – or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @12:05PM (#49008960)
I don't think I would like this. He mentions Excel does something similar and Excel is my least favourite app to cut/copy/paste in.
Re:Software Is Made Between Commits on Friday June 12, 2026 @08:55AM (#48503543)
This is what what I do. I never see the commits from branches but they are there if I need them. Even git blame can be setup to use --first-parent
Re:More Whimsical OEIS Sequences on Thursday May 28, 2026 @07:13AM (#48307351)
For the first mentioned sequences based on fonts, what's the first number in the sequence that has less digits than the previous number?
Pensions used to be free and great, until the company stole from the pension before they went bankrupt and you were left with nothing.
Re:We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git on Friday April 10, 2026 @09:02AM (#47717506)
That's why you have to group similar forms. - Bricks - Plates - Narrow Plates - Wheels - Windows/Doors - Smooth pieces - People bin

And then if you like to sort further you sort out the smallest of each bin because those always fall to the bottom when mixed together

What's the quote?
Can you link the comment here?
The tables I've seen with one goalie have raised corners so that the ball doesn't get stuck there. You see it more on budget tables in my experience.

They took a long break from them after 1.1, the first version was finished. They started again recently in preparation for the 2.0 release, which will hopefully be sometime next year.
Re:Show HN: Personalized Meal Plans to Suit Your Lifestyle on Saturday November 25, 2023 @03:11PM (#38416289)
I can’t see prices without filling in my email? And there are so many recipes out there for free, why would I pay for more?
He's from the house of Windsor so wouldn't he use that as his last name where it's needed?
Re:Lacros on Chromebooks transition plan won’t be quick on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @08:26AM (#37047930)
Do you think there are many sales lost of chromebooks because there is lockin? I think most people care way less about that then you would hope.
Re:The Internet Archive has Lego set instructions on Thursday July 06, 2023 @11:36AM (#36617647)
Brinklink has list for each brick of the set it belongs too. I was able to use that to discover a set I didn't know my older brothers had.
Re:Magit on Monday June 26, 2023 @08:40PM (#36487715)
I mainly use magit for reviewing changes, staging and committing. I haven’t found an interface that compares for staging and discarding hunks. But checking out branches I do on the command line and I use Meld for resolving conflicts.
It’s not so easy to convert offices to living areas, although I think it’s been done in a few places
Re:ELO Everything on Monday June 19, 2023 @01:32PM (#36394006)
I think you'd get a lot of cycles in this, so the rating won't be very stable.
You'd think that reddit would be smart enough to show web crawlers a cleaner version than real users, or is that not allowed? Maybe google needs whitelist some of the biggest sites on the web so they can feed searchable data into google in a more efficient way.
Re:Venus is not Earth’s closest neighbor on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @08:17AM (#36056963)
What kind of orbit would that be? In order for it to be that close so rarely it must spend most of its time even further from earth.
Re:Langton's Ant [Wikipedia] on Wednesday May 17, 2023 @10:01AM (#35975334)
Wow, that brings me back. My older brother wrote a Langton's ant program in QBasic, and one of my earliest computer memories was watching that thing go.
Re:My product is my garden (2020) on Saturday April 29, 2023 @11:00PM (#35759356)
Gardening doesn’t have to be that intense. I grow a reasonably productive 12x20 garden, just by guessing. And I’m not a natural.
I'd love a watch like this, but none of them seem to work with iOS. I don't know if sideloading iOS apps would help with that. Apple seems to keep the messaging and notification API's pretty locked down.
Re:Spanish climber emerges after 500 days in cave on Friday April 14, 2023 @02:33PM (#35573072)
If it’s anything like the Mars 1000 trip by Reid Stowe then the science thing might be more for publicity than for actual usable science.
Re:“In 2050, everyone will be carbon literate” on Wednesday April 12, 2023 @05:14AM (#35536887)
That’s not true, most beef comes from beef cows, which are slaughtered around 2 years. Milk cows are much different breeds and the females are kept around for up to 10 years. They might be eaten after that, but they don’t produce nice steaks.
Can you share what kind of role you didn't have to hire for?
Re:Golf has a problem: people are hitting the ball too far on Thursday April 06, 2023 @08:53AM (#35467696)
That's what's being discussed, do "they" change every golf course or just nerf the equipment for pros a bit? Which also has the added benefit that amateurs can still play the course as intended.
Re:Pausing Manifest V2 phase-out changes on Saturday April 01, 2023 @10:16PM (#35406459)
I think you’re proving his point. That 10% (if true) is probably running a lot of important stuff in F500 companies. You just haven’t been exposed to it.
Re:The vertical farming bubble is finally popping on Monday February 27, 2023 @08:36PM (#34964590)
I don’t think you could use mirrors to change the wavelengths of light.
Re:A Gentle Introduction to CRDTs on Friday February 10, 2023 @08:39PM (#34748642)
I think you use the clock instead of the timestamp. You could keep the timestamp for business purposes but that would be the same as without CRDT
