Yes, since magit allows a call-out to diff and difftastic can be supplied as a binary, but magit allows you to use ediff, and Emacs allows use of tree-sitter, so I don’t really see the point.
You laugh - but my earlier comment was flagged, presumably because of its comic nature. Which is fair enough, but I don't get why some comic comments are a problem (mine) and others not.
My own attitude is that I can appreciate the humor, but I want top comments to be informative, not comedy. I'll downvote jokes near the top to help bring informative posts up, but I don't downvote when they aren't at the top, or when there are no competing comments.
I would posit the flagging had something to do with this, plus other data intrinsic to the words used.
The above comment isn't just silly, but a reference to an ancient advertising campaign. Anyone over a certain age -old like me- will recognize that campaign.
Large karma pools allow for more 'trust' on HN, and more leeway and access to special features.
Only the Mods/Devs could answer your question succinctly, however.
The only logical explanation I can think of is that either these other comments managed to fly under the radar, or more people found them genuinely funny.
I don't know - I avoid attempts at humour because more often than not people don't find it funny and it doesn't add to the discussion.
I mean, this is my best result this year(7 points):
I think most people here assume that social isolation is the result of things like social media or smart phones. I think it has much more to do with urban planning. The street used to be a place where children play, people "loitered", and people met new people and made memories. Now it is just a place where we sit in traffic because everything is so spread out that we can't walk anywhere. We don't meet our neighbors because we all leave through the garage, surrounded by 2 tons of metal.
Yeah, in Medellín most houses have 2-3 floors [1] and those who live on the street level often have businesses that they run from their house. They have small gardens outside and there's always people in the park, dogs running around, kids playing, music everywhere. It's very cozy and nice compared to Swedish suburbs [2], where you're forced to stay inside 8 months a year because of the climate.
One time a man in Sweden said hello to a neighbor and the neighbor perceived it as harassment and reported him to the police [3]. It's not illegal though, but generally only weirdos and drunks talk to strangers. Maybe it has something to do with the climate.
It’s very true that trying dig out of lonelinesses in average American suburbia is playing on hard mode. Everything about the built environment says keep to yourself. People talk about taking a stroll at Target with a coffee purchased at the Target Starbucks as the closest thing to “being in public”
I was told by my Calc 2 instructor that in the past, people treated dx like a variable, but in modern times, mathematicians have identified some edge cases which make that kind of thing problematic if mathematical rigor is your thing.
Hey I've been playing with your app, I'm very excited about it! But, it seems like the site is pretty buggy, having just tried it on a few different browsers. Specifically, the test review doesn't show relevant information that was available while taking the exam, (i.e. the constants are missing, not even whitespace where they should be). I could share screenshots of what I'm seeing with you if you like. Also, it keeps saying I have 20 tasks for today- I click and it has me take another exam, and afterward, I still have 20 tasks to do.
That said I'm getting a lot out of taking these exams and I'm very excited about this project!
Hey I'm really glad to hear that! I'll look in to why the tasks aren't updating, but I'm having trouble recreating the missing constants in test review. I'd really appreciate it if you can send me a screenshot of what you're seeing! Again, thanks so much for checking it out.
