The guide was last updated in 2001. At that time, GameFAQs only allowed plain text guides to be uploaded. The guide's author did not choose to write manually fully justified plain text instead of rich text with graphics – they chose to write manually fully justified plain text instead of left justified plain text.

Are you using the “Increase Contrast” setting on macOS? Another commenter reported similar symptoms because they had that setting enabled: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28133327. They said they fixed it by “[overriding] changing colors in the advanced colors menu.”

Not at all. Beyond ignoring it, one can disable it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-po...

For anyone who doesn’t know what pathlib is: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html

The article quotes a code sample from FitNesse – the author has apparently maintained that codebase since then. You can check out the code for the current version at https://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse, or browse the code in a Monaco editor using https://github1s.com/unclebob/fitnesse/blob/HEAD/src/. (I have no idea if that code is “well-regarded”, but as you wrote, you can read it for yourself.)

I think CGamesPlay was being sarcastic. I interpret “would-be pests who search for an existing issue before filing” as describing good-faith bug-filers from the apparent perspective of repo maintainers who auto-close stale issues.

I agree that one shouldn’t discourage one’s coworkers from making such complaints.

I think the person you replied to was not necessarily horrified at the complaint to a fellow engineer. They were horrified that the complaint was made within earshot of a cafeteria server, who might envy the engineer for even having the chance to make that much money. I think the principle behind that horror is “it’s rude to avoidably inspire envy in others”.

You could use https://www.codetriage.com/ to receive a daily email reminder to triage an open issue in an open source project of your choice. (I haven’t tried that service myself.)

> especially when I copy and paste

You can make copy and paste work normally in Apple Books with the solutions on https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/137047 ‘Don't want iBooks to always paste the “Excerpt From” of what I have copied’.

People are asking Amazon to change the driver’s schedule to include time for bathroom breaks between deliveries. Presumably drivers only decide to pee into bottles because Amazon gives them tight deadlines to meet, not because they prefer bottles to bathrooms.

The scheduled bathroom break time would have to include time to drive to a usable restroom. Others in this thread are discussing challenges related to that.

You can turn this off, at least iTunes 12. Just select the tracks that you don’t want broken apart, hit ⌘I “Song Info”, and check the checkbox “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.

Alternatively, as crooked-v mentioned, you can give all the tracks the same Album Artist. In your example, it sounds like “Outkast” should be the Album Artist for the whole album.

I became able to downvote after reaching 500 karma. The minimum requirement might have changed to 1000 since then, I forget.

Even after reaching that karma amount, you are only able to downvote comments within a day of their posting. After a day, only upvotes are possible.

I was wondering if there was any equivalent library for Ruby. Turns out there is: https://github.com/AndyObtiva/puts_debuggerer. With that library,

I’m not sure what platform you’re on, but I suspect you’re just overlooking the Delete button. As far as I can remember, Gmail has always had a dedicated Delete button that moves a message to the Trash folder, though its position in the toolbar has changed at least once in Gmail’s lifetime.

After selecting or hovering over a message, look for the button with a trash can icon. On Gmail’s desktop website, it’s currently the fourth button from the left in the toolbar (next to Report Spam). On Gmail for Android, or when hovering over a message on the desktop website, it’s the third button from the right (next to Archive).

It's not totally arbitrary, at least. In Emacs, Alt+/ is bound to Undo/Redo by default.

“FAQ on LoadBear’s Instrument of Precommitment” is another excellent story-article with a similar theme. It’s about the published mindstate of someone who wants to be emulated, and who advertises that their schizoid personality gives them advantages as an emulated worker:

Firefox already lets you disable that using the browser.backspace_action setting in about:config: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/924490

Indeed. The relevant documentation: https://esbuild.github.io/api/#keep-names

In Firefox for Android, I can press and hold on the Back button in the '…' menu (not Android's Back button) to show the current Rab's history as a list. By touching an old history entry, I can navigate directly to it, skipping any redirects.

I think they mean this: Toyota “ate it” (an idiom meaning to take losses) in the press by having bad stories written about them. These stories were written for a reason. This reason was not that Toyota deserving those stories, but that Toyota’s competition encouraged those stories.

A compromise could be to have a bot to check the issue template, but to make the bot aware of users' contribution histories. The bot would skip checking the format of someone's issue if, for example, they had already reported at least three bugs or gotten one patch merged.

In other words, Mint doesn’t store your passwords in plain text, it stores them reversibly encrypted. That is indeed better, because if someone hacks Mint’s database they might not be able to read your passwords. However, it has the same problem as plaintext passwords that if someone at Mint is untrustworthy, they can decrypt your password and pretend to be you. That system makes it inconvenient for you to protect your accounts (you would have to memorize new passwords for all of them) and difficult to apply for restitution later (because it looks like you were the one who logged in).

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the most realistic street driving simulator I know of, and it includes roads in the U.K. I found it good driving practice when I hadn't driven for a while (as I don't own a car).

ETS2 only comes with trucks as driveable vehicles. A lot of the skills are the same as driving normal cars, but trucks have more gears, are larger, and accelerate more slowly. Truck cabs also don't have rear-view mirrors; to look backward you have to either use side mirrors or stick your head out the window.

I have seen mods that add normal cars to drive. I downloaded one of those mods but haven't tried installing it. I'm not sure if those mods unlock the cars from the start or if you have to first save up for and buy five trucks to unlock the in-game online vehicle ordering catalog (which takes many hours of gameplay).

Those stories only mention Google Photos though. For those who only use some of Google’s services, it’s much more alarming to hear that the new storage policy also applies to Gmail and Drive.

The animation you’re looking for might already be in BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint (https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/), a Flash preservation project that started in 2018. Here’s their list of preserved Flash animations: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Animation_Master_L....

I’m surprised that so few people in these comments seem aware of Flashpoint, and that the linked article only mentions Flashpoint briefly at the end.

I expect Flashpoint to always have a bigger archive of SWFs than the Internet Archive. This is because the Internet Archive seems to be aiming to only host SWFs that can be compiled for web using Ruffle, while Flashpoint accepts any SWF that can be played by the official Flash Player. Flashpoint can do that because it targets users who are willing to install its archive-browsing software for Windows, which includes a version of Flash Player.

They mean a normal component in React, Vue, Angular, or whatever other front-end technology you are already working with. I think they’re calling it a “micro-component” just to emphasize that there is no logic in the component beyond the templating.

The ~140 MB zip file containing the code itself (but not the commit message) is still downloadable from the Wayback Machine, as linked from this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24996616.

Apart from the code linked above, I don’t think you’re missing any significant information that was on that archived page whose URL is now excluded. The screenshot at the top of this article matches what I remember of that page: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/11/githu....

To describe the screenshot in words, for the sake of those who prefer text to images for whatever reason: the commit was an orphan with no parent; it had no commit history. The message was as SethTro quoted it: “felt cute, might put gh source code on dmca repo now idk”. GitHub’s interface suggested the committer was https://github.com/nat, but there was no “Verified” label. The interface described the commit as having been created “1 hour ago” at 2020-11-04 05:00:26, the time of crawling.
