Some things on Earth (especially in the ocean) you'd think were extraterrestrial... What a gift to still be able to find such amazing animals out there.

They all, so far, share the same basic biochemistry, derived from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA).

What would be extraordinarily interesting would be if we could find life on Earth with a fundamentally different biochemstry. Very different genetic code, even. This would be sign that Origin of Life is not the Great Filter. And we don't even have to go to another planet to conduct this search for "alien" life.


Some of those things down in the ocean are almost too extraterrestrial... they can stay undiscovered!

Using a platform-specific tool feels like vendor lock-in. Given the recent trends, behavior, and activity of GitHub, it sure seems like this is the opposite of what the world should be going for generally.

Also if someone could help me understand: Are these so-called stacked commits not possible with multiple commits on a single branch? I prefer to write my commits as atomic, independent, related changes, on a single branch, with both Git and Mercurial. I am apparently missing something: why can't a better UI simply show a multi-change PR?

Reading other comments, I noticed that this was a legitimate question.


Are you saying that [You don't?] is cross-examining/swipe, but [How did you "notice"] isn't?

I wouldn't highly object to either but if I had to pick one I'd definitely clear the former.


There is a difference between "correct" and "how it is actually used by real people."

IANAL but my understanding with settlements is that It removes the possibility of the defendant risking a judgement of wrongdoing and causing more problems down the road, like having to fix their mistakes.

In all for these maps, unfortunately this is a "Show HN: paid only products", not open source maps, free maps, or anything fun like that. At least I couldn't find the actual maps that are mentioned in the title.

As far as I can tell, this submission is just an ad.

There is a great (Free!) interactive map of Middle-earth (The Hobbit+ LOTR journeys) here: https://middle-earth-interactive-map.web.app/

Yup, it's just an ad for an online store. Grrr.

I'm guessing contracts for the existing sludge need to expire first before they improve their product.


If the webmaster notices this, the squares aren't great on mobile.


Thank you for the feedback. I'll try working on them!


Huge miss. Again. And again. And again.


Dendrite Crack is a really cool name for something... Not sure what...
