Comments have less visibility in moderation. This has made them spam / link farming targets in the past.

A lot of people come to Stack Overflow with the mindset that it is a forum to discuss something and have tangential discussions in the comments.

> This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.

The "no comments until you get a little bit of rep" is to try to help people realize that difference from the start.

Does anybody know which edition with the cheerful footnotes is referred here?

So weird that this is nowhere stated on the website at all. Was literally the first and only thing I was interested in. So bad.

And yet here we are in VSCode, still completely unhinged, not letting us have background colors in themes at all.

Apparently it's too technically complex :D (their words in the open GH issue, not mine)

Good luck to them!

On a nother note: still 1+ year(s) until we get a real email database (enabling gmail like thread view) in TB. [0]

Before clicking on the link I assumed circumcision actually. Basically half the population has got it done :D

(I know that the rate has lowered over the last years, but USA still has what... 85+% ? Even higher in South Korea e.g.)

It's falling pretty quickly, down to about ~60% of male infants as of 2022. General prevalence is higher (because that's how decreasing rates work), somewhere around 80%, but I'd suspect it's highly regional.

That's another good guess - whatever you think about it it's the surgery that's probably closest to being "routine".

If you wait a little it will go down on its own.

I was thinking maybe wisdom teeth extraction.

Common, but a lot of people never get it. Either they didn't grow wisdom teeth at all, or they aren't pressing into the rest of the teeth in a way to cause a problem, or they lack dental insurance.

It's one of those super low-priority surgeries for most people. I'm very glad I got it done myself, though!

Also that would come from a different data source, since it's a surgery done on luxury bones as opposed to regular bones.

Came here to recommend that as well.

Or just leave it. Nobody needs to comment on blog posts, really. :D

I have entirely no clue about how other folks are using Notion .... but, errr – how exactly is this supposed to help me, or work at all?

How could the AI possibly know what I want to put in? The whole point of note taking and ordering and rearranging data is that I have the control over it. And by that a better understanding.

Definitely a Must-Read. One of the best books I read this year, and basically spent my whole holiday digging it.

I think it is a real eye-opener.

Very interesting. I did the treasure chest emoji proposal back in 2018.

Back then the committee was very determined not to let in more emojis – for the treasure the official response was that Unicode already had money symbols and that this should be more than enough for all use cases.

Looks like they caved in now and just adding more clobbers left and right. Half of me is happy to finally have the treasure chest, but the other half is sad, that somehow now they added it, when we could have had it 8 years ago!

If you had asked me yesterday, I would have bet money on a treasure chest already being an official emoji.

There was a big "Mandela effect" meme where people were certain there'd been a robber emoji:
