Yes, but he calls the enter key return and the return key enter.

Aaaah, he's got carriage return and enter mixed up. The whole reason for the symbol being an arrow returning to the beginning of the line, is because it's the return key. I love the Canadian enter symbol, an arrow pointing into a box.

Ignoring them is more passive aggressive than the answer he gave.

He did it on plastic CD cases, not oil. The oil in the beginning of the article was just for explaining the refraction that happens with the ridges in the structure.

& as an escape character only applies to text nodes. Of course, if you want to display the URL on a page, you have to escape it, but not in the href.

The biggest difference, is Uber has vehicles around the world. So there's more data from countries with different rules from the US. Signage is definitely different between the US and Europe.

Sardtok — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:08:50 +0000

I think you are mixing up asocial and anti-social. Anti-social basically means you don't care how others feel, their rights and social norms. Asocial means you don't want to engage socially.

And I'm pretty sure you are describing yourself as someone with an inferiority complex and social anxiety.

An apartment inside an apartment complex is still inside the same building. Earth is in the Universe. There's a difference between "in the Universe" and "outside of Earth".

A superset also includes everything in all its subsets.

On a serious note, I think they meant TN, as in Torment Nexus, but I could be wrong.

That sounds like you have your desk too low. You're going to get some major repetitive strain injuries in 10-20 years.

If you have your arms at your sides, elbows should bend 90 degrees. Then just move your arms slightly forward and you'll end up somewhere around 95 degrees. Now you can rest your forearms on the desk. This won't save you from all kinds of RSI, but it might help your wrists, elbows and shoulder joints last a bit longer.

The project predates Github, although the first official release came out about a month prior. So, yeah, not a lot of AI slop 20 years ago.

The project was started by Norwegians. So I feel like you should apply juuuust the right amount of cheesiness and sort of push that Ø-vowel looong. Not sure if Ruud would agree, though.
