Found this in a related article from infoworld:

"Tiobe’s index is based on a formula that assesses language popularity by tallying the number of skilled engineers, courses, and third-party vendors pertinent to each language, based on results in search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo."[1]

Is there a consensus on how correct browser market share calculations are? Google does apparently not even know what OS I am using.

If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell

They do not know about it (those I spoke with), so they are not "comfortable" in discussing it. Especially since it's existence changes the dates of all other signs, their sign is not their sign anymore. I do not push on them too hard though. Just eager to hear their thoughts on it.

From time to time I mention the 13th "Ophiuchus" star sign to astrology inclined people. It is quite interesting how they react.

Might be useful for teenagers / people with no disposable income to start trying web related stuff from a public library.

Not sure if you are trolling... Do you have any references or something. Again, this is just a statement without any arguments or am I missing something?

Kind of... I was being stupid, because there is no argument but a statement without any reasoning behind it. I could say that the state that I live in provides free education, which is not something that necessarily robs my freedom and gives power to corporations. So at least, it's not "everything" the state does, right?

Yes, this was not a serious answer to this. I replied a stupid statement with an equally stupid statement.

Well this is obviously not a serious answer since the initial statement was: "The problem is that the State exists to abuse the rights of the people"

Which, sure, that's like your opinion man (or you are talking about some North Korea'esque regime). But what can even be argued here?

Please build your own roads then...

Yes! I stopped buying Philips products and have actively advised people to avoid the brand after owning 2 different products with questionable quality. At this point I wouldn't buy any of their products, so it's hard for them to convince me again, even if they improve. Sad.

was function() { .. }.bind(this) not around yet?

Follow up: Make a profile out of this. Ah, people who don't want to ever see content from quora or something, do like this other content. Let's rank that higher for those people. Easy opt out, by checking "ignore search profile" checkbox or logout.

I want a button: "never show me content from this domain again".

Because we as society decided so.

Read some philosophers who have didicated writings handling those topics. It might change your views on the matter in a more meaningful way than HN crowd. I would try to find something, I am passionate about and try to use my skillset in that area. There is plenty there [1]. Personally, I try to make the world just a little better and keep my physical and mental well being in check.

Yes, sure. Sorry my comment was not that serious regarding loss of data. Now that I think about it something still has to happen regarding ordering / displacement of icons or something. Maybe it will be added to the folder but will not be shown.

I wonder what happens in case the desktop is full of other icons or even better: folders with important stuff). Get's one removed randomly to be replaced by Edge?

Out of curiosity, what language are you using for backend now? Not a fan of PHP like most of professional PHP devs, I guess but the utility of Laravel for example is unbeatable IMO.

> Ctrl is the most pressed control key for people like me who live in the terminal. But the default placement of the ctrl keys in modern layouts is so wrong. I have never understood it. I guess there has to be a historical reason but I've yet to find out. (Help me, greybeards)

I've seen this talk here and the speaker mentioned the ADM-3A (that is also mentioned in the article itself) terminals at about the 17/18 minute mark. Mind the keyboard layout :)

You might have to account for toll fees since the price does not represent the final amount of money one has to pay.

Got 5.555 on my second try. This is objectively a better score. I won the game.

It would actually help if you would link to that HN posting so others can verify.

Though the idea of an index as a position instead of an address is weird to me, you can indeed make that analogy. The "first" element of an array has the index zero, as in "zero elements precede it".

For me, "because default works on any machine" is a valid argument for some things and for others it is not. jk = Esc is so crucial, I can not live without it. Start of the line on the other hand is just `0w`, so not that clunky. I guess it depends on how much time you are spending on what amount of different machines :) These "muscle memory produces some weird result" vs. "this keybinding is not very convenient" also affect my thought process in different ways. The first one disturbs me much more for some reason.

It literaly gives me the same piece everytime. Don't know if it is broken or this piece is concidered to be the worst...

It's a gnome extension.

I think its about the video at bottom of the page. This one is slowed down.
