I'd rephrase that as moving back toward search. Google wasn't always there, and even after it became popular, some time passed before the name was used as a verb. Personally, I Ask Jeeves to Lycos it.
Cheers for this. I'm old and that's why I thought it was BBCode. Markup is such a loose term that I couldn't figure out what the problem was. You've put it to rest now though, I get it, whew. Learned something new,…
Thanks. Have to admit, I'm still confused, especially after reading the first sentence on that page... >Markdown is a lightweight markup language Clearly in over my head on this, I'm just going to stop using the term…
Please explain why it's markdown. Is Reddit's link format not just BBCode [0]? Honest question, no snark. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode
He already told you, left is up. The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate is on the right side, meaning left is…

Stop with the red herrings and address the actual argument.
Semantics? Don't be daft... Speaking out against something is battling it, battle is a verb in this context. Both Oxford and Webster agree [0,1]. Forceful suppression of pseudoscience can be achieved through law and…
I have to disagree. Many people are trying to suppress pseudoscience; not because we fear it is true, but because disinformation is harmful to society as a whole. For example, anti-vaxers degrading herd immunity, or…
Just a guess, but it's probably because PS and GIMP are huge projects with years of work put into them -by teams of people. This is one guy. Not saying I don't welcome some competition in this area, but there are…
It's not a straight face, it's a smirk, and they'll keep saying it so long as it bothers you. They'll happily eat dog shit if the opposition has to smell their breath. This is how populism works, and it's only going to…
"its" is not the problem, the word "worse" is incorrect. EDIT: The original misguided pedant has now changed "worse" to "worst" in both instances; after downvoting me, of course.
Arriving on the page, I'm prompted to run 11, no... 13 scripts. After allowing everything from BBC and reloading, the page is still borked and I'm prompted to run 34 scripts. All of these third-parties surely have…

And this comment is so rude that your point is lost entirely.
Just add /rss to the URL [0] Easiest way to find the RSS feed on most sites is to search for "RSS" in the page source; there's usually just one instance, and it's a direct link. These days, many sites don't advertise…
Thanks. You're correct and I overplayed it. It's clear that he's quoting the author, but racial tensions and identity politics have me running in paranoid mode these days. Forgot that this is Hacker News and not Tumblr;…
My VPS, in Iceland, had a racist hostname on one of their servers; they had no idea and were quite embarrassed. Just wanted to be sure you weren't in the same boat, because the slur isn't exactly obvious. Apologies for…
Yikes, one of those categories is not like the others. Seeing that you're an Aussie, you might not be aware, but folks in the US will instantly spot a nasty racial slur in your list. Because your personal and…
No cars, in the real world, are driving around with significant coolant leaks. End of story. Talk to any repair shop. That's the crux of my argument. There is no scenario where one can continue to drive a car with a…
Every modern IC engine (and the majority of old ones) operates with a pressurized cooling system; they absolutely will not function properly with a leak. The average operating temperature of engine coolant is around…
I've found companion planting beneficial, but have had terrible luck with the corn aspect of 3-sisters. It seems best suited for warmer US zones (6+), where corn can go in the ground well before beans. Otherwise, the…

Thanks for clearing it up. It looks like certain groups are using terms in ways that I'm not accustomed to. Now I need new words. Damned kids and your identity politics!
