The important bit is "by depleting or spoiling the shared resource".

Plastic is not a "shared resource". It's not at risk of depletion or "spoilage". It's obviously the opposite problem.

I think the example with the sheep makes it perfectly clear what the concept is and isn't.

For one, Bitwarden does all of that and more (I guess except the Face ID thing, but I don't really want that so I'd disable it anyway). It has web, mobile and desktop apps, and browser extensions. All available in the free plan. Oh, and it's open source and self-hostable.

What's the point, though? I doubt you have a deep knowledge of the etymology of every single word you use, even for the ones you use all the time. I bet you would feel forced to use a very different and extremely narrow set of words if you did. You might even have chosen another username if you were "sensitive" to how "saber" alludes to an instrument of historical oppression and suffering.

And yet not many people do or seem to care. Why? You might say it's because our culture is still not enlightened, but it really is just because it doesn't matter what the usage used to be as long as it's used with a different, more-or-less harmless meaning today. Not only that, but what about words that have had countless interpretations since forever (black/white)? Why pick the one that happens to be racist?

And I may be making a wild conjecture here, but it's not like talking about a "master branch" will make you more likely to become pro-slavery. I mean, what would "master branch" even mean out of the context of version control?

Words are just labels to meaning. It makes no sense to care about the label. People have declared love with N-words and advocated for genocide with flowery language. Banishing words is a prime example of bikeshedding.

> we need something like a Haskell 2.0, designed by the community to incorporate everything we learned about Haskell's flaws and make it an absolute powerhouse of productivity

How about PureScript?

Why not publish it for phones too? Something to do with UI polishing (widget arrangement, responsiveness)?

I have a phablet (6+ inches, high resolution and DPI) with pressure-sensitive stylus and I'd love to see Krita running on it, even if the UI is not optimized yet.

Maybe they're referring to this? https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Lenses_and_functional_...

As for the "abstract specification", I interpret it as decoupling the view from the model too, but maybe expressing how you can represent the model? Like "option" being representable by a dropdown or radius buttons. I don't know, I agree it's vague.

Old enough to be mindful about the health consequences of worrying about the wrong things and not worrying about the right things.

I did Google the number (and sure enough I've seen that strip enough times that I could have memorized everything about it, including the number), I was just curious if that's what Hamcha did before posting. If so, it would have been easier to paste the link, unless everyone has it memorized but me. If not, great nerdy feat (in the good sense)!

Honest question: Do you have a map of XKCD numbers to strips stored in your head? Or just this one? Or did you look it up?

To be clear, I didn't say you shouldn't have asked. I just suggested you inform yourself minimally before you do. I believe this is better for everyone involved, but ymmv.

Interestingly I've been using a 12" laptop as my daily driver with a crappy chair, desk and earbuds and no monitor for over two years and I've had no cardiovascular problems so far. Stressed people are quick to blame their environment (tools and whatnot) but fail to take a hard look at themselves.

But there are many alternatives. My suggestions are one such alternative. Getting a Mac is another. Or using a mouse. Or switching to a keyboard-only workflow. None of them need to involve killing yourself because a crappy touchpad driver is between you and your "deep-seated passion".

Actually such an aggressive response (from the GP, not you) is precisely the kind of thing I'd expect from someone who has an easy life. I live in pretty crappy conditions, including a crappy computer with crappy touchpad drivers. I just refuse to let such mundane things give me hypertension.

I just read it again and it's true there's a lot of marketing speak, but it seems you've been blinded by it and ignored all of the rest.

It's great to have these questions and insightful answers. The thing is you've said your friend is nuts about it, but apparently haven't bothered to ask them the same questions you're asking here. Not only that, you do seem to be fairly interested in knowing what it's about, but you don't seem to have read anything about it at all, so maybe you could have at least followed the hacker spirit and... I don't know, scanned for the links on the top of the page... and formed a basic opinion?

Uhh... Have you tried reading past that? They literally list pretty much all of the most important features right there (though I believe not all of them). They even show which services each feature replaces. It's true there is marketing speak sprinkled throughout it, but all in all it's the opposite of the "nothing but marketing speak" trend most services follow.

I really don't mean to be rude, but why don't you just read their homepage (and the one posted here)? It should answer most of your questions. (Hint: It really is _way_ more than "just-another-note-taking-app-that-supports-markdown-and-embedded-pics".)

It's almost like they don't want you to spend time reading but "engaging"...

Agreed. Maybe we could come up with some ML thingie to solve this? :O)

Why? It's not like it's hard to Google it or even guess the meaning (at least in this particular case).

... Then don't buy a $2K+ MacBook Pro?

Your comment isn't worth much if you don't say what you don't like about it. It's not perfect but to me it's pretty good.

If you insist on the same point, you didn't understand my initial reply. Again, I'm assuming the input is (a), not (b). But maybe you mean the lighter areas have the most information. If so, why? Just because there's more light? More light != more information. It could just be a bunch of noise.

seriously what the fuck did I just read

Regardless of the goal, there's no way to get a more readable result if the data just isn't there. Whitewashing might simply be a result of that absence.

Whenever I see someone ask these "whys", I have the urge to show them this.

> the model actually had [...] information

Wait, did it? Isn't the middle photo being shown for comparison only, rather than as an input?

Dude, this is incredibly awesome! I've never heard of it even though this is something I've been looking for for a long time. I bet your software can get extremely popular if you can market it better.

I've immediately posted it on HN (hopefully I won't be downvoted just for linking my own post).

True, seems pretty risky. Maybe the extension could take advantage of the edit history and warn the user about recent changes?

Edit: Unrelated to this issue, but I have a more general idea for the kinds of inputs this extension may accept. It could be an omnibox command [0] that takes the input text, passes it through some search engine with "site:wikipedia.org", visits the first result and finally grabs the URL. So you don't have to know any part of the URL - you can just type the name of the thing.
