Hasnep··on Squatting or Kneeling May Be Beneficial for Health
I'm a similar height and regularly kneel in getting of my desk or on a chair in front of my standing desk. I learnt it in school where the desks were all to small for me.
Hasnep··on Games Workshop is trying to shut down fan animations
It seems weird that fan art is allowed but animation isn't. If I do two drawings of a character then that's allowed, but if I quickly change from one to the other then that gives the illusion of movement and isn't allowed anymore.
Hasnep··on Finland provides housing and counseling to the homeless (2020)
I'm not sure about that because places like Japan, Korea and the UAE are very ethnically homogeneous, but my impression is that they are quite individualistic. Although from skimming Wikipedia, Korea and Japan have extremely low levels of homelessness so maybe there is a link!
Hasnep··on Julia Computing raises $24M Series A
You're right, Python and R are good choices if your goals happen to align with what those libraries are optimised for, but outside of that you normally need to start writing your own C or C++.
Hasnep··on On Comments in Code
Is there a reason you don't leave a comment with the commit hash of the change instead?
Hasnep··on Terraform 1.0
"without DRY" in this case means "with repetitions" i.e. in a verbose way. GP wants to be able to generate this verbose, machine readable syntax with DRY, human readable syntax.
Hasnep··on Notepad++ v8 release
Why would they need to? They could just change their opinion.
Hasnep··on The 4:6 method for coffee-brewing (2017) [video]
Are consumers roasting their own coffee? Also, a good handgrinder is less than £50 and a V60 with filter papers will only be £10. Pourover coffee can be just as good as espresso, it's just different.
Hasnep··on What Oxford taught me about posh people
Isn't that a type of fairness?
Hasnep··on Replacements for existing software written in Rust
runc is listed as the original program and youki is the Rust rewrite.
Hasnep··on Dataflow, a self-hosted Observable notebook editor
Rmarkdown notebooks can contain SQL chunks, so you'd only need to use R to configure the connection. [1]

Hasnep··on Flask 2.0.0 has been merged into master
I think you've misread the change, it's nothing to do with login being a special case, it's about moving the HTTP method from the methods argument to the function name.
Hasnep··on Windows Terminal Quake Mode
Can you share the script please? It sounds like something I'd find very useful
Hasnep··on How the N-Word Became Unsayable
> Between 1982 and April 2021, 66 out of the 123 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by white shooters. By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 21 mass shootings, and Latino in 10. When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 53 percent, 17 percent and eight percent respectively.

Hasnep··on Dominance of Apple and Google’s app stores impacting competition and consumers
> I refuse to believe that there is no way to allow for sideloading of some form on iOS.

I don't think GP meant that it wasn't technically possible, they were saying it isn't possible for this switch to exist without some popular apps eventually getting almost everyone to flip the switch and negate the whole point of having a switch.

I don't think I agree with them because Android already has this switch and I can't think of many apps that lots of users would want to sideload, except for Fortnite.

Hasnep··on Dominance of Apple and Google’s app stores impacting competition and consumers
My impression is that the ad revenue from that 99% is users is still less than the subscription revenue from the 1%.
Hasnep··on System76 Developing “Cosmic” Desktop Environment
Budgie and Pantheon are built on the GTK toolkit but aren't forks of Gnome, similar to xfce.
Hasnep··on Police Data Accessibility Project
A political candidate asked for help accessing some data, not the same thing as affiliating with a political party.
Hasnep··on Prince Philip has died
Sorry, are you saying he was right to say those things?
Hasnep··on I lost 25 pounds using my Peloton
That seems like a lot of travel to be doing in a pandemic.
Hasnep··on Manim – an animation engine for explanatory math videos
Julia also supports arbitrary indexing [-1], you can even start from a negative number!

Hasnep··on Icons – Google Fonts
From the developer guide:

> The icon font weighs in at only 42KB in its smallest woff2 format and 56KB in standard woff format. By comparison, the SVG files compressed with gzip will generally be around 62KB in size, but this can be reduced considerably by compiling only the icons you need into a single SVG file with symbol sprites.

So not that large, but I still prefer SVG icons.

Hasnep··on BTC Endgame
Remember, China is a country with concentration camps, so they (the CCP) clearly have the ability and desire to do extreme things and convince their people it's the right thing or that it's not happening.
Hasnep··on Robinhood Play Store listing went from 329K reviews to 180K in few hours
Entirely anecdote, but I've heard of companies asking all their employees to give them good Glassdoor reviews.
Hasnep··on 2 times 3 can sometimes equal 7 with Android's Neural Network API
One of the advantages of an autonomous driver is that its superhuman reflexes, never driving while tired, never getting road rage, etc., will make it less likely to get into an uncontrolled environment.

Would you prefer your pilots to fly your plane with no AI assistance?

Hasnep··on FunkWhale: Decentralized Music Server
How does an open source project trying to encourage more diverse people to collaborate detract in any way from the cool stuff they are making?
Hasnep··on FunkWhale: Decentralized Music Server
If someone accused of harassment or slander can claim they were "actually joking the whole time" then the decision changes from what constitutes harrasment to whether they were actually joking.
Hasnep··on Groundhog: Addressing the Threat That R Poses to Reproducible Research
Using renv (or packrat) generates a renv.lock file with the version of every dependency.
Hasnep··on USA vs. Julian Assange Judgment
Why not implement it at a state level then? Many states in the US have a similar population to Norway.
Hasnep··on UK formally leaves European Union after 48 years
Since the introduction of the Euro, joining the eurozone is a requirement of being in the EU. My impression is that the UK and Denmark were given opt-out because we were already part of the EU at the time.
