Is there a filter for device function somewhere that I just missed?

I don't care about games that aren't available on any device that I already own.

I clicked the comments here just to find out what type 1 means, I saw that the site was called "typenetwork", and that didn't mean anything to me.

It might not be clickbait as in it is not intentionally misleading, but it still is a very confusing title.

Not everyone that visits this site is a typography expert...

Why?

I live in a country where I pick a party to represent me in the national government, not a local person, and it seems to work just fine.

Ok, now I have read several of your replies in this thread that are basically all arguing the same thing, so, I'm basically replying to more than just this one post.

When you say "the entire population", you mean the entire population of the country "USA", right? Because as someone from another continent, it seems like there is a very specific set of opinions that you want included.

You use terms like "the other side" of the political discourse, which to me, reduces the set of opinion to two specific sets of opinions, namely the two sets represented by the two major parties in the american two party system.

As someone from "the outside", this seems like a very narrow view of reality, even if you managed to get your "unbiased AI", that represents both major american political parties, it will still seem like a very narrow and biased AI to someone from the outside of that.

Also, what exactly is the goal of a conversational AI? is it just to make a conversation with it seem like a conversation with an average american? If so, why would anyone want that? Wouldn't it be of more value to have an AI that could tell me what people with knowledge of a subject thinks of it, rather than what random people think?

Not op, but I think it means that the cooling system contains a gas that if released (it would normally not be released at all), it would do the same amount of harm to the environment as you would normally do in a year.

(I have no idea if this comparison is accurate, but I do know that coolers commonly contain gasses that you don't want to release)

No, it is because we don't use the tipping system.

And it's not awful, and people are not rude, just not "fake-friendly" as americans.

This is why things like "/s" are useful.

I also didn't understand that you were making a joke, and was sitting here wondering how using a different type of database would solve this kind of problem.

I think that the economic argument is that it isn't viable for a private company to start a nuclear power-plant, it would require government involvement, and lots of people don't want the government to get involved in something that they think no-government entities can handle.

Isn't "the sun" an extremely untrustworthy tabloid?

and no, I haven't read the article, and I'm not going to.

Why on earth would you come to that conclusion?

But how do you know that?

Is the source dugin himself?

from bayers wiki page:

In 1925 Bayer merged with five other German companies to form IG Farben

IG Farben the made Zyklon B, and as a result it got split up after the war, into it's original companies, one of them bayer.

So, yes, you are mostly correct.

I think that he is nowhere as influential as reddit thinks.

This is the conclusion I came to a few years ago when trying to find out why nobody had ever bothered to translate his writings into english:

Reddit usually points out that what he writes aligns pretty well with what putin seems to think. The problem is just that this is what almost every russian fascist thinks, it is nothing unique about dugin, he is just the one russian fascist thinker that reddit got their eyes on...

While I'm happy that something is being done to address the problems of social media; as an outsider I'm having a hard time understanding why every problem has to be solved with law suits in america.

I guess it depends on the topic.

If the topic is some change in the latest release of a programming language, I usually find the comments here to be helpful.

But if the topic is global politics or economy, then sure, the quality here isn't much better than some other random social media site.

I agree about the comments here often being the most interesting part.

But I think that the best way to start the conversation is usually with a well-written article.

If there would only be a title and no article, I'm pretty sure that I would find the comments to be less interesting.

But maybe I'm wrong, and since my argument is based on the original article being well-written, maybe it isn't true for most posts.

But I still think that I would rather try to find the posts with good articles, and just ignore the rest, and hopefully, that is what the ranking system does (at least help with).

I have other sources that I read when I want general information about what is going on in the world.

HN is something that I read for a very specific subset of information.

I don't find this to be that strange.

It's the same from an inside perspective.

yes, but the title used here on HN is bad.

how many countries should we let russia take before saying enough?

sweden decided to send weapons yesterday (sunday)

5000 AT4 and some other stuff.

Unfortunately no NLAWS. =(

https://vecka.nu/

In Sweden, we use week-number quite often, but it is nowhere to be found in our calendar software, so, there is a webpage that just displays what week it is now, nothing else..

also: vecka = week

nu = now

uuid = 128-bit int for a database. the "abc-1234-abc...." is just a representation of that int.

So, if we think about it as using a int-128 or a string[~25], one of them takes more space than the other.

So, except for taking up more space, the question then becomes, are larger keys/indexes less efficient, I would say yes.

Other people can probably explain this better than me, but at least for me, it seems intuitive that going through and comparing entries in a list of small things is easier than doing it on a list of large things.

You really should read:

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

Because what you are saying might be how it is today (especially in america), but it doesn't have to be like that.

The book I mentioned tries to explain why, and I think it does a good job at it.

The problem here is that your initial post, critical of how academia is presented, reads as very black and white to me.

I get the feeling that you claim that it is all fraud and lies, and that those who disagree can see no wrong with it at all.

Then someone responds with a nuanced reply, something that I, as someone who lives in a university town in Sweden, have the impression that almost everyone in academia actually agrees with.

And then it turns out that you also mostly agree. So, now I'm asking myself (and you): Why did I read that first post of yours as so hostile? As someone who was actively trying to create mistrust?

Is it just because how the debate climate is on the internet, or should you perhaps consider trying to be a bit more nuanced when communicating on the internet?

Not op, but I think that the post that you replied to has a valid point.

Sure, the quote in itself is great, but the post that you replied to is pointing out that the person who made that quote is himself doing the same thing as those journalists that he is criticizing.

doesn't it cost to go to the conference?

I would expect the people who are listening to the presentation to be the ones paying, not the one giving the presentation.

Frequently asked questions Does it work on iOS devices? Yes. We're using a workaround, since iOS does not support native browser fullscreen.

I don't play that much chess, but:

If a player has 60 minutes for all their moves, then spend less then a minute for each move, until they are so far behind that in your mind, the game is over, now, they are spending 20 minutes on one move. And I have to still sit in front of the computer, because if I leave, they might make a move just before their timer runs out, hoping that I have already left the room, and now I will lose because it's my timer that runs out.
