mcdevilkiller··on Redesigning GitHub Repository Page
The lack of boxing/borders make it more difficult for me to separate every piece fast. I don't really like the design. Fira Code however, I love that.

I thought the exact same. Could be pretty awesome.
mcdevilkiller··on NES.css: 8-bit style CSS framework
Firefox on Android @ 1440p also does this. I'd say it is because they are using svg for the images and the "pixels" are each separate rects. Just a guess, cannot look at the source rn.

Notch is not for FaceID, wtf. It's because they need space to put the frontal camera and the proximity sensor.

Every company does this. It reminds me of Casio and their calculators. You can "hack" some of them just by painting a wire with a pencil, and it unlocks features of more advanced ones.

AFAIK it gets compiled AOT to C++ code. Technically, should be pretty fast out of the box.

Have you published a plugin or the source? Sounds very interesting for using in computers inside the game (as in Fallout and the like).

mcdevilkiller··on Ask HN: How to know if you are prepared to contribute?
Thanks for the link. I believe that the projects I will contribute to wouod be C or C++ because it is what I like the most and the hardest, although Python or JavaScript could be fine too. I will probably try to make some minor changes to little projects with a low number of contributors.

GTRs are not the best for drag racing? Do you mean not the best to go slow in drag racing?

Because at the top of the ladder of the 1/4 (excluding top fuel making 4000-8000hp), you only have Lambos and GTRs.

mcdevilkiller··on Chaos in Catalonia as Separatist Leader Runs into a Dead End
People that disrespect Catalonia, I can count them with the fingers in my hand. Catalonia is one of the most productive regions in Spain, and also the one with the greater deeds. Big businesses are mostly in Barcelona and Madrid, and more in Barcelona. Tourist from inside the country visit Catalonia as much as other regions. Catalonia is not hated, but politicians and independentists are making us hate it.

No, links, just someone from Spain that wants to give a somewhat "objective" opinion. Catalonia has always had problems with the rest of Spain because of politicians. Around the 17th century (don't quote me on this, I'm not good at history), the Castillians had been oppressed in terms of taxes, because they had started a revolution the king and lost. As Spain was suffering an economical crisis (how strange), they decided to collect the same taxes from Aragon as they had been from Castilla, and also to recruit 5000 soldiers (peasants) to fight in France. Catalonia, which was under Aragon's crown government, decided to secede and form a republic. They tried to ally with France, but what happened was that instead of fighting in France, Spanish and French fought in Catalonia. It ended up with France retiring from Spain but with some Catalan territories under their belt. After that, the kings mantained the tax benefits in Catalonia, because they didn't want another war. It is important to remakr that the kings were Austrian in this period of time. Time after that, when Charles II, king of Spain in 1700 and with severe mental and physical problems, was about to die without descendants, he chose his grandnephew, Philip of Anjou as succesor. Philip was French, and the Austrians didn't want a French king (Austria had been part of the Spanish empire). So they proposed a candidate, Leopold I's son, Charles. No one wanted to accept the other candidate, and even the people were divided, leading to a war known as the succession war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Spanish_Succession Philip, who had the Castillians support, won the war, and Aragon, which supported the Archduke Charles, lost its regional code of laws that every region (because Spain was composed of crowns and such) had. Jumping into this days, Catalan politicians have been using this last part (being oppressed without their jurisdiction) as an excuse to ask for benefits. The problem is, no party has said no to them, and they have always gotten more. Recently they tried another time, and they got denied (when Artur Mas was the president in the Generalitat), that is why they started again with the independence threats. As they didn't get what they wanted, they forced it and it has shifted into a big snowball, too large to be stop already.

(Also, Catalonia had proclaimed independence before, but it got quickly shut down, and the president was taken to jail and after that executed, but bear in mind that this was while Franco was in the government. This is something they are using now to accuse the Spanish government of opression and other things.)

Sorry if there are typos, I'm writing this from a phone.

Stop lying. The only thing that Puigdemont wanted to negotiate about was how to approach the independence. He takes it for granted, the goverment has nothing to do.

Yes, if more than half of Spain voted yes, it would be a yes. Happens all the time with presidents, every 4 years, right?

That has nothing to do with what I said.Totally different analogy.

"At least in the UK the government allowed people to express themselves"

The problem here in Spain/Catalonia is that Catalonian politicians only want Catalonians to vote. I feel that, being a Spanish citizen of legal age, I have the same right to vote on whether I want a part of my country to separate from it. But they won't let us vote, so, why should "we" let them vote? (Also, as per the constitution, it is illegal)
