sigzero··on BeeBase, a programmable relational database with graphical user interface
That says more about you then it does about the site. :)
sigzero··on Show HN: Purl – A Simple Tool for Text Processing
Nah, that doesn't really work any more and it isn't really worth the cycles to try. Also, there are no legal issues with "Purl".
sigzero··on Kate editor on all platforms
It does all of that now.
sigzero··on Can you really explain the difference? Subtle nuances of English words
Ethics – Rules of conduct in a particular culture or group recognized by an external source or social system. For example, a medical code of ethics that medical professionals must follow.

sigzero··on Deep sea mining could be worse for the climate than land ores
Agreed. I would have thought that as well.

Except it wasn't art and context matters.

Softcore pornography generally contains nudity or partial nudity in sexually suggestive situations, but not explicit sexual activity.

She half-nude on a bed. I'd say that fits the definition.

sigzero··on PFAS 'forever chemicals' to officially be removed from food packaging, FDA says
That isn't all what the SCOTUS wants. The SCOTUS wants Congress to do their job and not an "agency".
sigzero··on Dracula's Biggest Mistake
Dust and mist are two very different things though.
sigzero··on What's an obelisk, anyway?
Yes - The Celts were the people spreading throughout Europe during the late Bronze Age and the Iron Age. They spoke the Celtic language and shared cultural and religious practices and beliefs. The Gauls were the Celtic tribes that settled in what the Romans called Gaul.
sigzero··on It Is Somebody's Moral Imperative to Leak "Coyote vs. Acme" to the World
No, you can't. They still own it.

I do so love my dead animals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
sigzero··on Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I am taking your comment as a joke because the Windows Registry is a joke.
sigzero··on Neovide – A simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
There are a bunch of them. None are really good IMO.

sigzero··on Haiku OS: The Open Source BeOS You Can Daily Drive in 2024
I agree. You knew visually what everything did. A button was a button and was noticeably off or on and things like that. I would put classic on for my XP UI I love it so much.
sigzero··on The phrase "no evidence" is a red flag for bad science communication (2021)
Your example is NOT evidence: the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.

Side topic, when did Gentoo (which is a Penguin) start using a cow for its "mascot"?

Xojo is that.

VBA != VB.NET
sigzero··on Granting pardon for the offense of simple possession of or use of marijuana
> I can't quite tell if this applies to military convictions.

No, because it would still violate the UCMJ. The UCMJ would have to change.

sigzero··on FreeBasic
Xojo (formally RealBASIC) might be what you want if you just want to learn. It runs on Mac, Windows, and I think Linux and allows you to target the web, iOS, and Android.

No it isn't and what Beeper is doing is wrong.
