By itself VSCode won't autocorrect you. You should take a look at your extensions settings.

I agree. This sort of article is partly the reason why we so often here something like "science can't make up its mind" or "x is good now but was bad before, and will be bad again soon".

Instead of sharing accurate information about the findings of these researchers, news organizations use them to write catchy, clickbait-y articles. Needless to say, researchers are often to blame as well, since they participate in interviews using vague language so that they can benefit from the exposure, well aware of the repercussions of their behavior.

This issue goes beyond just researchers and news organizations, though. There have been plenty of discussions here in HN and other places about how scientific research is somewhat broken due to how it rewards quantity versus quality for example.

I agree, but between that and most of my co-workers currently using their laptops built-in mics, I'd rather deal with the noise from the earbuds.

Reminded me of Strip Panel Naked. Great video breakdowns of comic book story telling theory.

I honestly need help understanding why you'd like to rename GIMP.

This is not a stab at you or your comment. I think your message is valid and I agree with it. However, I do believe there's a common misconception in here that needs to be highlighted if hoped to be fixed.

What you are talking about in the text above is not delivered by Open Source, which is just a practical advantage. The values you mentioned are fought for by the Free/Libre Software community [0].

I recommend to anyone interested in this topic (e.g. the differences between Libre and Open Source software), read more about the GNU project as a starter [1].

As a disclaimer, I'm by no means an expert on this topic which is another reason to follow the links below.

Can you give a more coherent comparison? For example, between a term search in DDG HTML vs the JS version or DDG HTML vs Google.

Comparing the search results page with a wikipedia page is hardly any sort of evidence.

On a side note, saying "as an engineer" doesn't mean anything on HN, especially if you don't even say what type of engineer you are.

Just to complement other's responses, accessibility is a spectrum.

We ought to believe someone chooses to use an icon for aesthetics AND usability reasons. If the icon can't be rendered at all, it defeats it's purpose despite it having a "description".

Ultimately, if a well designed, user-friendly system doesn't work the way it's intended to, it is an accessibility issue of some degree. Albeit, some times more trivial than others.

I'm no expert, but anecdotally I can tell that the idea that the oaths are holdovers doesn't quite apply to the US. Their oath is worded in such a way that you very clearly have to give up loyalty to any other country state, but the US was never governed by a single monarch/ruler (after independence of course).

The "good reason" you provided, even if it were an actually thought out consequence of the US system, isn't really delivered.

In reality, people are painfully aware of how annoying filing taxes is and hopeful that they will get some money back later. The system is so convoluted, most people pay someone else to take care of it for them. Not to mention, most people barely understand what's happening when they are filing their taxes.

The UHK looks awesome. I'd totally use it if it had ortholinear keys.

I can't tell if you're serious or just joking but they do have a variant of their logo that's an oroboros [0]

I don't think there's any merit to your argument here. If the headline had said "designing hardware circuits", that would be another story entirely.

> “Programming Hardware” the way it’s used here is pretty much the same as vanilla python

One can only hope so, since the project is a fork of MicroPython. Neither CPython or MicroPython are meant to be a long departure from Python itself.

> And that would be so good because I could be convinced to really uninstall whatsaap

Did you just provide the counterargument to your own argument?

If they backpaddled is likely because there was enough of a negative reaction to raise concern.

I believe it's more likely they are trying to figure out how to announce the next deadline more quietly without breaking too many laws.

I don't know what options show up depending on the route you use to donate, but the link on the Android app [0] takes you to a page that does allow recurring contributions.

I think this is a great point. I would really appreciate to see more accurate lists or, better yet, more diverse lists.

However, I have to point out the irony here. Every time someone complains about the lack of western representation they just pretend there isn't a southern hemisphere in the planet. The East is not composed of only Europe, Canada, and the United States.

That's to say, fight for overall diversity, not for western vs. eastern representation because that's a false dichotomy.

If it were a for-profit, private company which was "flexing" I'd agree with you. But EFF works hard to defend our rights and internet freedom.

If they bolster their wins with some overly excited language, I believe they are well within their right. Also, it serves as a good way to promote their work and incentivise people to contribute.

I fail to see an issue with their approach here but would like to hear a counter argument if there is one.

Not to mention that companies like Google and Microsoft also offer different levels of technical support alongside their products.

For smaller companies, or companies that want to invest less in their technology stack IT department, it sounds like a better deal to have all services provided and backed by a larger computation corporation (even if that's not always actually cheaper in the long run).

I believe your argument is sensible, especially in society at large. What you lack is evidence that the kind of behavior you're describing happens on HN.

I don't know if it does or not but without evidence this is just conjecture from all sides.

I believe this is related to the number of people locked at home.
