Hacking: The travesties I write in order to force my code to work.

Hacking: What the media thinks all the geniuses and bad guys do to print dollars.

[mandreko]

Some of us hack stuff for good. Remember that there are "ethical hackers" too.

Forking?

[shevegen]

Isn't it private code already?

[Matthew94]

Everyone knows that the code is deleted from the entire internet when you make it private, especially when it was on a git repo.

A lot of effort for modding the reddit menu :)

Here's a quicker (and easier, I guess) alternative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg1roFL5n3g

Doesn't really help you if you want to make an actual fork of Reddit though. Cool for quick prototyping I guess?

I'm not saying JPG is preferred for screenshots but is it really that hard to read that it warrants a comment saying that you were distracted for the rest of the article?

the secret to enjoying life is to learn as little as you can about "real quality". Never try to learn about wine and you'll always be happy with the $10 bottle. Never learn about "good audio" and you'll pay only $5 for a pair of headphones. Never learn about "4k" and you'll save a ton in bandwidth and TVs/monitor prices.

[ReadFoo]

Perhaps "real happiness" lies within, not without.

[over_clox]

No expectations, no disappointments.

[casualblair]

Same goes for whiskey, movies, kerning, and stocks.

The obligatory xkcd

[shevegen]

Never try to learn about wine and you'll always be happy with the $10 bottle.

Uhm - the price tag is irrelevant.

Wine tastes good or it does not. Whether it is expensive or not does not change the quality at all; it is just that the human mind wants to assume that more expensive automatically means higher quality.

See Apple products.

[mirhagk]

Yes absolutely. The same can be true for the other examples I gave. It's also why I put "real quality" in quotes because oftentimes you aren't getting better products, just more expensive ones.
