*their


Thanks. I'll remind myself to use their preferred pronouns from now on.



[flagged]


Being "that guy" in this scenario would mean using terms for some one that they would prefer not be used.

It's not a big deal to correct pronouns, any more that it is to correct the spelling of some one's name. Acknowledge, move on, and forget.


From a look at your posting history, you're just jealous because you ARE that guy, who goes out of his way to be an asshole, then pretends he's the victim, while actually being a childish bully. Your pathologically obsessive focus on certain other people's issues makes it transparently obvious to anyone who's not you, that you have a lot of your own deep issues that you haven't dealt with.


Don't be that guy.


Except that the version most distributions that are ridding themselves of python2 are using is a new python3 ported version. As far as I know the maintainer of that repository isn't touching it anymore, which is why it isn't linked. https://asciidoc3.org/


I've also had this happen to me- driving from Boone, North Carolina to Charlotte, I usually avoid highways because the interstates are a bit overwhelming to me. I took one different turn as I was trying to avoid downtown in a rural city I was driving through; they were having a block party and the usual route was blocked off. It's routed me through that turn ever since, so saying Google is learning from where people drive even enough to start making routes, that doesn't seem too farfetched for me.


TIGER's great, but if you're going to use it you might as well just use OpenStreetMap in the end; a lot of the data in the US is based on TIGER data and then reviewed, as TIGER has had a lot of issues with things like misnamed roads and misalignments of roads.


It's awesome to see that even Hacker News isn't immune to transphobia and falling into the lie that being transgender is ignoring biology. What a load of trash.

I looked up the author, and discovered that Libby Emmons is a transphobe (or more accurately a trans-exclusionary radical feminist), at least from reading this one in which she tries to posit that trans women are just in it because we're objectifying misogynistic parodies of women. Great. http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/03/how-the-hypersexual-tran... (check out that weak attempt to reference Kant's thing in itself near the end and how it completely misses the point that it is non-physical- which is exactly what gender is insisted to be by many trans people)


It’s awesome to see that a mere post of an article is enough to conclude that the whole of Hacker News is transphobic, let alone the poster. Mia culpa—I will delete the post soon; I will also burn the article if I can by some means find it in book form.


I felt so silly trying to zoom in and see satellite images of my house as it was 240M years ago.


I was hoping that if I zoomed in enough I'd get a 3d street view of a bunch of dinosaurs walking around. I was disappointed.


Could be possible if a 4 light year wide telescope is sent via a worm hole to one of the galaxies in the Virgo cluster (65m light years away) and live imagery of Earth (not via worm hole) is sent back via the worm hole to Earth.


Not needed. Once we can determine the starting composition of the universe, and have enough quantum computing power, we'll be able to simulate the past... and the future too. So you can see what your home looked like in the past and what it'll look like in the future.


Maybe, maybe not. We do not yet know that our Universe is a closed system


I can relate to this...


Arm-chair diagnosing someone you don't agree with with psychological issues isn't very helpful to a conversation, you know.


Let it end.


Will it still kill my laptop's wifi connection speed if I try to use it?


You know, cgit does come with two example syntax highlighting scripts... :)


That's correct. (I think the old version I'm using maybe only with one.) That script is what I hooked my custom logic into.
