What do you mean by coding?

Having used 16:9 or similar my whole life, I don't get what people hate so much about it. It seems like about the right aspect ratio, when split in half (one window on the left, one on the right). Yes, a single full-screen window has wasted space on the sides usually, but what's the big deal? Perhaps I don't know what I'm missing.

I've started doing this about a year ago, but I haven't nailed down an easy way to blacklist addresses from my catch-all. Do you know of a painless way to do that?

Just need to find a parabolic garbage can!?

The value of the cell is what I typed in. How that is displayed is determined at render time or whatever, based on the data type.

This is already kind of the case. If you change the date rendering format, the "real" date text in the cell stays the same. The only issue is that Excel decides what an acceptable "real" value is and modifies my input to match that.

It blows my mind that the behavior in spreadsheet software is not what I would expect:

* NEVER modify the text I type into a cell.

* Parse, interpret, format the cell according to the "data type" that's detected or chosen by the user

* In the grid, display the data according to the interpretation above

* In the formula textbox, show me exactly what I typed in, unmodified.

What's this about Boeing?

The reason they use such light, poor contrast colors is that the map is used as a background for things like business ads, the blue navigation line, etc. Yes in the process, it becomes useless as an actual map for looking at.

Can you expand more on the Let's Encrypt issue? What do you mean by that?

As always, depends on the threat model.

The first thing that came to my mind was Portal 2, the "you can't portal here" shower of sparks when you're spamming the gun in the elevators. :)

I believe GP was talking about downloading a rom which someone else dumped, but which I myself did not dump from my copy.

I agree with you. However, now that you bring it up, I wonder what the law says? My guess is it's technically still not legal, at least in the US. :(

They frequently change titles to reduce sensationalism and fluff.

Fair enough. Those are some good points!

Re: bookmarks bar, you can also just not use a title which leaves the favicon only. Works a treat for the simpler root URLs.

Who are you to say that your interpretation of that character is any more valid than anyone else's? One might see a "turned v"[0] or any other manner of meanings.[1] However most English-speaking people are going to immediately realize that it's meant as a stylized "A".

I generally agree, but I don't think your comparison between distortion and compression makes sense. Distortion (guitar pedals, etc.) is something the artist intentionally adds to the song, in a specific way, intensity, and time. Compression is something added after the fact, for transit and storage. The artist doesn't really have control over what sort of artifacts lossy compression is going to add, so I don't see how "not enough [compression] will reduce the impact the song has on the listener."

Honestly, for a non-techie I think the "I was logged out" is totally reasonable. I'd bet that a majority of Internet users aren't going to recognize that the UI has changed, especially when they're focused on getting some other task done.

Its days are numbered, I think...

> ridiculous routes > guinea pig

I agree - I've long suspected that I've been used as a "probe" to check if a road is still accessible, or what speed is typical, etc. by being sent on strange sub-optimal routes.

That's why I've tried to stick with my cheaper stuff like Monoprice earbuds, haha.

Don't remember where I heard this, but I've always held the idea that anything you type into a text box, whether you remove it before hitting "cancel", delete it after submitting, or edit it, should be considered non-revocable and "out there". IIRC Facebook got caught recording what users typed up, changed their mind, and never thought they were submitting?

Thanks for the link - I wouldn't have seen that thread had you not brought it up. However, are you implying the original story is being manually supressed? Could it be the discussion there got too heated? There are other factors that determine ranking, see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Samsung has had the feature for longer like you say, but I think this is a stock android feature these days! Might be wrong though.

Out of curiosity, are you referring to rooted Android, or some variant that provides the user some protection from apps "knowing"? GrapheneOS seems to provide some of this (Storage Scopes, network permission, etc.) but not all.

We are getting closer and closer to inventing Trains™

The EVs/hybrids I've encountered in the US seem to have artificial sound as well when no ICE is running, including the Prius.

How can you guys ever trust Brave again after the whole affiliate link injection nonsense?
