In good faith, when have the Democrats have done this?
Anecdotal of course, but even when I accidentally ran over a squirrel I _immediately_ noticed. Running a _person_ over and _dragging them_... well I think I would realize. Obviously this is some serious arm-chair…

Art is subjective so everyone's entitled to their takes on it. Personally, I don't like when art makes me contemplate the delta between _intended ideals_ vs. actual execution. Especially for this piece... it's just…
I used an EIZO FlexScan EV2730Q (1:1), and upgraded to a DualUp. It is the best configuration I've found for programming and CLI work. For gaming I typically use one of the normal widescreens to the left/right of it.…
100% behind this change as well. I get the reluctance to change HN and appreciate the consistency. But, in good faith, this one is a clear accessibility issue that needs to be addressed. I think a change to just get the…

Another important thing to mention is that WebP, HEIC, and AVIF are all based on video codecs whereas JPEG XL is a traditional image codec. I find this article describes the differences and pluses/minuses incredibly…

In good faith I really don't know what you're arguing for. If you re-read our conversation I express that simple snippets of code from ChatGPT have been accurate enough, ultimately saving me time (paraphrasing). You…
All in good faith, I believe that receiving assistance from ChatGPT is far more useful than looking up snippets on a search engine. Instead of delving through semi-appropriate snippets, I can concisely describe what I…

Tried five searches, things like "test," "bed level," etc. All common terms for 3D printing calibration. Was only able to get one search to go through which took >20s. All others timed out with "We encountered an…

My phone is safer in my custody - it doesn't matter who I am giving it to, including YC founders/staff. Giving my phone to other people, regardless of who those people are, is an extraneous risk when compared to having…
Hey - we're not going to see eye to eye on this one. Respectfully, I'm not going to to respond further. Cheers.
This. I'd rather my vehicle was stolen vs or damaged vs getting digitally compromised. The damage someone could cause with my phone vs. stealing my car is vastly different.
Sure, but I think it's a bad faith argument to draw a comparison between such vastly different situations. Is my car my phone? No, no it is not.
