Did you imagine nothing but formless blobs or did you get some image in your mind that implies something about the people behind those names? See, I'll bet that you did, like "most normal people" do. It can not be helped. You can deny reality all you want in these comments, but you (along with everyone else) knows the truth.
You really think you've hit on something there, don't you? I've already pointed out the problem and told you that no one is buying in to it. You can stop now. It's just spam at this point.
Everyone starts at the same level behind a keyboard,
The default assumption that they're a straight 20-30 something white male.
unless of course that person writes something that gives it away.
That they'd need to hide that they're not a straight 20-30 something white male to be treated like a human being is deeply disturbing.
Why do you think its okay to treat people who are not straight 20-30 something white men poorly?
See, the problem isn't that flowergirl75 revealed her gender or that blackoverflow revealed his race, it's that they're treated inappropriately because of their gender and race.
Yes. Everyone does. Including you. It can not be helped. You can deny it, but no one will believe you.
Sensible people will recognized that they're making assumptions about a person based on their name, their appearance, etc. and make an effort to minimize the impact that those assumptions have on their perception of that person.
The problem is that some people are treated differently when their gender or ethnicity is known.
You shouldn't be forced to be anonymous. I don't have to hide either my gender or my ethnicity. I'm the assumed default. That other people "should" is perfectly absurd.
If SO is driven by the community, it's up to the community to set the social expectations for what is and is not appropriate behavior.
Stop blaming the victim and just treat people with normal human decency.
Just have a bezel wide enough to accommodate those sorts of things. Problem solved.
Does anyone actually want the entire face to be a display? My hands are not two-dimensional, so I want a bit of space the the left and right. I couldn't care less about space above and below the display. I do, however, care about having a hole cut in to the display. Who actually thinks that's a great idea?
It runs perfectly fine for me on an old budget laptop. Movement is smooth, with no stuttering or slowdowns. I expected it to be a total flop once I saw the Unity logo.
I can only assume that you're trying to run this on your Kaypro II.
Still, that demo is a pretty stupid choice. There are many more interesting demos that better showcase the capabilities of modern browsers. That this is what they selected tells me more about the website operators than it does about WebAssembly.
Only for "other people". They're more than happy to receive it.
so "ungrateful" is hardly a useful label either
I think it's okay. They think they deserve the handouts they'd deny to others because they believe themselves to be the "right kind of people" who "deserve it". 'Grateful' isn't an emotion I'd associate with them.
Yeah, forget about silly things like personality and common interests. Instead, hang with people who rank themselves on test scores. Sounds like loads of fun.
Chrome comes bundled with many other popular applications. Like other malware, it even makes itself the default browser when possible. Users often get stuck with Chrome accidentally.
I used to work with a couple of NASA subcontractors who talked about when they would code by flipping 8 switches and then pressing a button to push that single byte of code into the computer.
That wasn't uncommon for early personal computers either. Try this in-browser simulations:

Do you really think you're "sticking to them" with these posts? It's pretty obvious that you're trolling.
Yes, it is a safe bet. We don't deny reality like you seem to think we should.

However, this begs the question as to why people are using their real name on the internet to begin with though.
Because it's not 1997? Thanks to social networking, most people use their real name online. Why wouldn't they use it on a "professional" site like SO?

How about anyone else? Everything Tyson has done publicly should be proof enough that he's the wrong person to fill the role of "celebrity scientist".

The problem, at least in your specific case, isn't the women.
After reading your post, it's pretty obvious that it's you.
Mary saw a bicycle in the store window. She wanted it.
That was just the kind of window Mary needed.
A window that could make her want something a silly as a bicycle would do wonders for her bakery.
2-6GB is "slim" now?
I give up. Gonna go dust-off the Intellivision...
Seems every year "Look at the silly output from my Markov chain!" turns in to "AI is seconds away from taking our jobs."
Well, I guess that's a reasonable fear for Slashdot editors.
You missed! Read this aloud to yourself:
The "Reply to This" link is below the comment, not above.
Why do I even try?
It's a placebo effect, but a real one.
I'm trying to work out what a fake placebo effect would be. Maybe we'd need a placebo placebo? I have no idea how that would work either.

You're on Slashdot: a site full of impossibly ignorant fools that pride themselves on their knowledge, skill, and competence.
If "an acceptable excuse for such blatant ignorance" exists, this isn't a bad place to start looking.
Conservatives in general oppose welfare

Yeah, it's not like Nazi's would drive a car in to a crowd of people or shout racial slurs while firing a gun at someone in a crowd or anything...
Yeah, all that stuff must have been "fake news", right?

They sampled MENSA members. I'm surprised the rate of mental illness wasn't 100%.
You'd need to be crazy, or deeply insecure, to join a group like that.

Dude, you said something incredibly stupid. Then completely failed at reading.
Let it go. You'll feel better. Dwelling on your failures just isn't healthy.
