"we might end up collapsing our own civilization before we ever make it beyond our solar system."

Given what I see in the past 15 years, I don't particularly see that as a problem, honestly.

I love me a good Tu Quoque defense. Keep em coming! I can't remember if we supported him cuz he wasn't the war candidate or we supported him cuz he was or if it even matters and we just make up bullshit excuses for what suits us at the time with whatever is convenient for the given argument...

I know we're on hacker news, but let's just say I misread the title.

Is the initial setting (Color Name List) a list of ALL the colors in each "sub" category listed in the drop menu?

If so, would it be possible to put a "namespace" in front (like html.violet, or html::violet). That way you see which source it's from? That way you know where it's from (though I realize this may cause multiple "hits" on the same value/name) Or perhaps same names have different values.

Either way, pretty cool. I agree, it would be nice to have a button or mode to stop spinning without having to hack it manually.

Oh the halcyon days of Swatch Internet Time measured in .beats (1000 .beats to a day)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

I love that it's metric. One would think they'd at least give homage to 1024, but it's Switzerland so they gotta shove mod10 in our faces.

Came here to say this, like literally this LOL. here's my upvote :)

90s high school Turbo Pascal gang represent!

Yep. It's a difficult needle to thread. Seniority IS important and there really needs to be a way to keep that knowledge. On the other hand, people retire, at some point... If you layoff the last batch of people (no matter how good they were at their job) and replace them with even newer people (in the case of my layoff with my "Team B" in the second most longest job I've had (8 years)). The incoming team at least had more training than our group did which was 2 weeks, they got 3 months. We were meant to be expendable but proved ourself during the pandemic with a massive influx ofwork-from-home installs, while people had quit and burned out from it all.

I still support Unions, even if in the US they're compromised, primarily (IMO) due to Taft-Hartley and the political restrictions placed upon them (mostly about cross-shop/cross-trade organizing, general strikes (sympathy strikes), etc...)

The best part was union leadership informing us the "good news" that there won't be 2 different pay-grades. And at least in the interim we did get a bump to "tier 1" for that time of negotiations while we were there before we were let go.

Here's an article about the history of that:

I'm old enough to remember this: https://www.nydailynews.com/1998/12/17/test-tot-dna-sez-rudy...

(1998, NYC, "America's Mayor" before he became such)

"Mayor Giuliani said yesterday that he favors DNA testing for all children at birth as a tool to fight crime, track deadbeat dads and resolve paternity suits. Though not formally proposing such a plan, the mayor told reporters, “I would have no problem with that or fingerprinting all children. “I think DNA should be available the way fingerprints are available,” he added. The mayor’s comments added fuel to the heated debate over Police Commissioner Howard Safir’s plan to collect DNA from prison inmates, parolees and crime suspects."

(sorry not sorry)

LOL as I'm reading the bit about the minimum (and before I get to the part linking the proof (which spawned the blog post)) my brain says "Ok, but have you done a formal proof extrapolating out to... maybe there's another dip, a pattern of dips..."

I haven't clicked the link, but I guess this is a well written blog post, since the place where I asked the question is precisely where they link to the paper. Nice.

I always laughed when I passed that...

Growing up we never used "Road" we just said "County (letter)" Probably because the signs themselves never say Road or Highway (at least usually, back in the day, I haven't paid attention recently).

I like the system. It helps reduce confusion in terms of what the "main" (state/interstate) vs the local.

No, but that's what they are ;)

1. Black Book of Communism

2. "Unborn"

Yeah, no.

I'm not saying USSR was a panacea or that Stalin did nothing wrong (Tankies are the fucking worst. I hung out on /r/communism for a while, and, as the kids used to say "gross").

I take writing like the OP with a HUGE grain of salt.

There are plenty of crimes and problems with what happened in the Soviet Union. Some of these were intentional by the leadership both before, during, and after Stalin. Some of these were self-owns (War Communism much?) some of these were forced errors (when doing battle one makes tough choices, and this includes in ideological/economic/actual war). Some of these were straight up evil policies (gulags, great purges, Katyn, etc...)

If someone can do real analysis I'm down, but once you start quoting Black Book of Communism, I know you're coming with an agenda and it's hard for me to take you in good faith. Especially if you're counting "The Unborn" - go on, just call the US a "Nazi Nation with the unborn holocaust" (I grew up in that shit, so saw the propaganda first hand).

My favorite was the guy who drank the fluid inside a lava lamp.

I get the feeling that Pauly Shore needs to make this into a film about a guy who is born as an adult I have no idea why he is the one to do this, but...

Ganging up to enforce your political will is only bad when it's "the woke mob" but totally cool when it's my mob.

And idiots eat that shit up thinking fighting the woke mind virus is the real censorship, jumping straight into the arms of moralistic fascists like this.

I wish I knew how we failed. (I am "woke" but I disagree with mob tactics, and think it's done more harm than good, and there are a lot of disingenuous abusers of said ideology to boost their personal cred, chasing online clout over any substance. And plenty of the right-wingers will notice this, and "fight it" but fail to notice the same thing in their own side; because to them it's not about a principle it's about "punishing the bad guys" who don't like what I like).

"Cancel culture is bad akshully unless I'm the one cancelling you (c.f. bud light, etc...)"

Sex is an older institution for marriage. Or are there all these lizard weddings I've never seen. "Sexually reproducing animals, plants, fungi and protists "

Man, I can't wait to get invited to the next fungus wedding, seeing a little penis shaped mushroom with a little tophat, and the brides dress, why it must be a literal carpet on the forest floor so long and stretchy.

LOL this doesn't harm you int he slightest.

You should like, read a(actually man, from diverse positions, and not just your little right-wing fundie) psychology book and get out of your bible-thumping bubble.

Also - like... I absolutely hate cryptocurrency, but if this is what it comes to, then make that a payment option, and leave up the "bad naughty legal stuff" for us consenting adults to decide (but I know, it won't be legal for long as these reactionaries keep pummeling away at free speech while using the rhetoric of 'Free Speech' to gain further control of communication systems).

Just closed my dev acct (only had an old 2015 puzzle game I made, 2 sales, no huge deal personally), but decided to put my 4.57 where my mouth is (no payout, waaaaaaah, cuz 5 dollar minimum). And told them exactly why I am doing so.

Money talks, and it's one of the few ways I have to show my opposition. I hope others will do the same. It's sad, because itch is kinda one of the last few places for "indie" as a thing with the vibe of indies, at least (I mean they aren't Steam or the other big publishers). I'm surprised Epic didn't buy them out yet just like they did with Bandcamp. Probably next on the block.

commas.

Speak for yourself. Just say "virtue signaling" while you're at it. Some people have very real concerns, because they are actually affected, not some rich bloke who wants another big tax cut because all that matters is money and nothing else.

Some people march in the streets and write elected officials. Not everyone. Not everyone who posts publicly about politics engages in politics, but many of us do. And those of us affected most by the cuts are the most active I know. Because for us, it's not a hobby it's real life.

Looking forward to Mechahitler ~~elected~~ first AI president in 2049.

Sorry... not elected... sworn in... with the book 'To Serve Man'

> But law doesn’t work that way, and it should not work that way. Context matters, and it needs to.

As Anatole France famously quipped:

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."

node is a js runtime, not the official spec, you make no point in refuting the above.

Heh, glad to see it, was gonna post this. Now you have it, do you want to use it. (bluff call time LOL). Being a bit facetious, don't get too offended at the joke, people. But yeah, Xonsh is the "python(ish) shell" option if that's what you want.

I see you're not from the midwest/Michigan.

Superman flavor is the answer.
