  • This guy tanks.

  • I have autohotkey set up so that alt and alt+shift hyphen produce en- and em-dash in whatever app I'm typing into, with no fancy ass required. The fact you can't physically work out how to do that is your problem.

  • Is that why bees can't wear contact lenses?

  • Yup--a sarnie shop in a Spa town. See what they've done there...

    No!!! Not relationship talks...

  • I'm sure I remember a similar story about someone very excited to get a response each night, and eventually they followed the return call, it got louder and louder, and eventually they saw some other idiot hooting like an owl through the trees.

  • Yeah, we already have all those things apart from futuristic technology. But the boffins promise it's less than 5 years away now.

  • It hasn't crashed for me yet but it's flaky as anything. The most annoying part is getting notifications on mobile for messages you send yourself from desktop.

  • (Guessing JS / TS) I look after a moderately sized app, and still find console.log() useful sometimes. They are all protected by a Boolean, so we have authLog && console.log('something about auth') and the bools are all set in one global file. So turning debug logging on and off is very simple.

    The best thing is that when it's off, the bundler strips all the console log lines from the source, so they're not even there-but-inactive in production.

  • Don't be ridiculous--it's obviously 1 child each. But what's not clear from the article is how those who already have more than 1 decide which to get rid of before they turn 35.

  • My phone has cancer after going to that site :(

  • It's pretty nasty—loads from a 3rd party domain (termly.io) that is blocked by uBO, and I had to disable it to load at all. After that, it loads into an iframe with a src of https://app.termly.io/policy-viewer/iframe-content.html?policyUUID=97db19c6-7afc-444b-bd38-9a2ac329fcac which you can load directly and print. It still has all the user-select: none css settings applied so you can't highlight / copy / paste, but that's easy enough to remove in the inspector.

  • I remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered "the verb, dammit, the verb!" through their headsets.

    Duplicated post in main feed

    Twice now I've seen a post duplicated in the main feed but where the second one opens a completely different post.

    I captured a screen recording of it but it's too big to upload directly. Here's a screenshot--the second post opens something different...

  • 'Get her!'--that was your whole plan?

  • They have taken 1 of the 2 hard problems to a whole new level.

  • You should read his wiki page--quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

  • Sometimes you can Ctrl+drag (which is copy) text to those annoying 'repeat your email' fields that won't let you paste.

  • !!true

  • Sardines, olives, capers.

    Video zoom issues

    The video in this post is showing the old zoom / rotation issues for me again. Haven't seen that for ages--don't know if it's the post or the video itself...

    Reply formatting

    Just curious, why the odd formatting of this number when replying to a post?

    Missing image in feed

    For some reason, this post shows the url text in the main feed, but the image when opened.

    Problems with Arch upgrade

    I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

    Still some issues with images

    I’m on .69 and still seeing very large margins around some images. And dismissing image modals with a swipe up or down often takes 3 or 4 goes, and mostly they just bounce back to centre. Finally, zoom seems to ping the middle of the image, which makes zooming near the corner of an image problematic. The zoom pin point should be directly between the two touch points ok the image I think.
