Whether you like it or not you will look stupid to native speakers. It's a subconscious bias

Idk if that's universal, when I run into people who struggle with English or just don't know it my first thought has never been this is a stupid person.

"Looking stupid" and "being a stupid person", or even "coming off as a stupid person" are not the same things.

The Neo is supposed to be the budget version. I think MacOS is a decent computing platform for some engineering and creative endeavors -- if one more college kid gets access to it for cheaper I say it's a positive

I work in east Asia for a western startup. My work schedule is shifted a few hours earlier, so I end up waking up at 5 and have meetings starting at 6. I work in silence the rest of the day and we have no-meetings days once a week.

I love it.

Japanese has a word for green now 緑 (midori). Traffic lights use the word for blue for historical reasons

I also live in Suginami! There's always a lot of kids running around together, especially after school, but that feels quite normal for anywhere in Japan, no?

I can’t speak to the rest of Japan, but in Tokyo, yes.

Suginami in particular seems to be very kid focused in terms of infrastructure development efforts. 6 years ago the was a wild sprouting of daycare facilities everywhere around, and these days new parks pop up everywhere. They were going to close the nearby jidoukan, and the new major seems to have reversed all of that. Japan is absolutely making an effort to reverse population decline xD

Enforce stacked PRs, reject PRs over 500-1k LoC (I'd argue even lower, but it's a hard sell)

Did a coal miner write this comment?

Worse, an environmentalist.

Miner vs. straw man, who wins? :o)

I was very pissed off to find that my Youtube Premium didn't work when I visited Armenia. I was still paying for it, but ads played and I couldn't listen to videos in the background. WTF?

There's so much obvious evidence of manipulation on Wikipedia, it's insane that it doesn't come under more scrutiny. It's even worse on non-English Wikipedias

reputation scoring for authors plus various voting and scoring metrics for the articles themselves but perhaps since I personaly never have looked at a persons wiki, what I see is generaly very well cross referenced and much of it leads off into PHD dissertation nitty gritty ,rabbit warrens of hard science, where there is no need to put up "vandals will be prosecuted" signs so perhapps, nonhistorical persons should be shuttled off to, :), wikibook

EDIT: Any HN mods/devs reading this -- there seems to be a display bug for comment creation time? On edit it says 20hrs (accurate), whereas viewing the comments otherwise shows that it was posted an hour ago. Not sure what's going on

There's something called a second-chance queue for overlooked submissions https://news.ycombinator.com/pool (listed on https://news.ycombinator.com/lists)

Some older users (I think YC alumni) can nominate articles and moderators give them a boost. The timestamp doesn't change, I've seen 2 day old articles appearing. It's a bit confusing, I think it was hacked in years ago but works good enough.

That's my site! I did it for quite a few photosets, like this one https://photos.paulstamatiou.com/africa/southern-serengeti-t...

Surprised it still mostly works fine many years later

I'm not able to find the post that OP refers to about how you animated the SVGs. Maybe you could share the link? Thanks!

thanks for the great work :)

daaaamn!

That's the one :) Thank you so much for finding it!

I also see it as posted an hour ago, and see the original thread post as 2 hours ago.

Odd.
