I think he meant having the 3,5 mm jack in a phone.

I played it occasionally but, as you said, it wasn’t very interesting game for young children. I guess it was interesting only subconsciously (the vivid dreams I mentioned in the other comment). Maybe it would have been fun game if I were an adult at the time.
We didn’t really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn’t very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn’t fully understand the gameplay and can’t really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn’t played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don’t know why I even tried it that many times.
I didn’t really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I’ve had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don’t really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don’t know if they have the game anywhere or if it’s possible to emulate via MAME.
Would you agree that man page with good example section of common use cases would better serve the purpose or do you think there has to be separate tool to show only a short summary of the manual?
I don’t understand why people think this is such a useful thing. Sure it has some good summaries but you can’t find all info there whereas man pages should have everything. It’s also good that tldr has examples but I think it’s something man should more often have too. So why would people rather use this than man?
For example I often forget the order of pattern and file in grep. I can look it up easily in both man and tldr. I also forget what was the short option for recursion. Was it -r, -R or either or something else entirely? I can easily do a search on my pager to find the option in man but there’s only long option available in tldr. That’s Too Long Don’t Want to Type.
Probably an average. I think the above average types usually have a vim keybinding configured to send current buffer to CIA via curl so they don’t have to use bloated web browser for doing everyday task.
Yes, the UI in Slack is more cryptic after the update. I had some difficulties with searching for messages in the new design. I think you can’t open the search results in context anymore IIRC. Also the change of color scheme. They didn’t even bother to change all the icons to match the new color or they just made the change so quickly they didn’t have time to.
Which things do you find boring and restrictive about it? I think it’s rather nice although I don’t like some of the changes after Catalina like moving from skeuomorphic icons to more symbolic ones.
Other than aesthetics I think editing and writing is fast on macOS even when not using vim. I even changed my PCs to use mac keyboard layout because it’s better. Of course when using vim, editing should work same on any system at least in theory.
I don’t know how reliable SSD is compared to magnetic but I guess they do fail too. Good thing about SSD is that it doesn’t have moving parts so at least one fewer points of failure.
Both are spinning magnetic disks. I guess they meant the reliability aspect of the storage medium.
You’ll never know if you don’t go.
Well, calling someone a redditor can also be perceived as insulting so maybe they can both serve a similar function.
That’s really nice. Too bad many features in it are not implemented. I liked that old version of MS Paint so when I got Win 7 I copied the exe from old Windows version to it.
PRESSURE 30.4 inHG
Do Americans really use inches of mercury to measure air pressure? Even millimeters of mercury would feel weird for me in weather context. I’ve seen mmHg used mostly in medical and chemistry stuff. I guess it really is anything but metric for you guys.
Not sure how is it in other European countries but I associate those particular spices with Christmas. The phrase pumpkin spice didn’t use to be a thing here but now thanks to American influence and marketing people you can buy all sorts of pumpkin spice products here. Some even sell pumpkin latte to make it even more confusing.
and also that being based on Debian LMDE is 100% community based.
At first I read it as “completely based” and wondered whether LMDE is also red pilled.
Powershell seems like too much writing to do a simple thing. Is there some kind of auto-complete available?
I’ve heard of it too. You would need an analytical balance to get accurate measurements weighing a piece of paper. Just cut out the part you want to take an integral of, then cut out a piece of paper with known size (or cut several pieces with different sizes to get more accurate results) and weigh each of them. I guess this used to be cheaper and faster than using computers when computers were big and expensive.
No, I haven’t. I looked up a video of it and the fighting reminds me of TMNT arcade games which I like. I might give it a try some day.
Can you give an example how that would happen?
