"Shop from the perimeter of the supermarket" is in a similar vein

Yeah that's the one. I still enjoy his content, but it leaves a sour taste

He got called out a few years ago for releasing biased corporate ads disguised as educational content, essentially milking his reputation and audience for a payout

Re trees: It follows that growing some trees doesn't help much, but growing a forest on otherwise bare land will act as a carbon sink as long as it's not cut down - dead trees will be replaced without human intervention

It shouldn't be this way if done right. High density housing should make room for lots of parks and green space, green courtyards, etc.

Out of curiosity, why? If it's a knee-jerk reaction to change that's completely understandable, but I can't see anything to dislike about the feature itself

That's more or less what I said, isn't it?

It exists so that you know where a character will appear when you press a key on the keyboard.

It blinks because it's hard to find a line on a page of lines.

I realise what sub we're on, but this is pushing it...

This line could've come out of Gob's mouth

Interesting. I associate the "wimmin" spelling with Terry Pratchett's writing, where it's used in the speech of lower/middle-class men, implying casual/uninformed objectification.

I think the most direct translation in this context would be "Where on earth is..." (or more extreme) "Where the hell is..."

These inserts add almost exactly the same connotations you describe for "eigentlich", though perhaps also with the implication that you have spent some time looking for it already

partition.bickio.me

But it would hit a different place every time... Most developers wouldn't even consider checking for this, and the chance of getting a repro in a debugger is slim to none

100% agree with both, although it's kinda cheating to pick ones where they hide easter eggs in the intro

The harbour cycle bridge is justifiable if they also spent the same amount again on a network for the rest of Auckland.

I like Go too, but not because it's a good language. I like it because it's the simplest garbage language I have to use regularly, and that puts a cap on how bad it can be. It also got a lot of language-adjacent things right, like tooling.

That's not what I meant. If you have a ceiling fan in front of you, how would you describe its rotation? Would it rotate the same way as its shadow? Or opposite? Why?

Or, like, public education. I mean the live exports thing is surely a pack of lies, but absolutely the government should be able to spend money on public education. This is a (rare) bad take from the spin-off

As someone who hasn't touched KDE in years, can someone fill me in: How did you previously select a folder without opening it?

Doesn't have to be a clock. Which way does a ceiling fan spin?
