Hold alt and then select text with left-click drag. It works most of the time. Enjoy :)


key words: most of the time

like when you get trolled by Atlassian's crap tier website where the wiki/jira-pages do not allow selecting some text blocks (and makes it even harder to tell somebody to browser-page-search for a particular string)


I love this site, but it would take 5 lines of CSS to make it more usable. Why would you ever hardcode a 540px margin and padding on divs that have no class or id? Here's one line to help anyone out to remove horizontal scrollbars to completely blank spaces:

    div,html,body{ max-width: 100% !important; }


I was a fan of SQLite until I needed a full outer join of two tables. It was such a pain to create a workaround when I found out it isn't supported, and the result was still sub-optimal and needlessly complex. Is running a full outer joins such a unreasonable assumption within a DBMS?


I hear you. MySQL still doesn't have full outer joins either.

I would think this would be one of the easier features to add.

Of course, I'm sure the people working on MySQL or SQLite would say "Patches welcome!"


Actually, for SQLite at least, they wouldn't. https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html#notopencontrib


> Top Right: People who insist on pointing out that the rules on mask wearing are arbitrary and don't allow for common sense, even as they wear masks when common sense says you ought to.

You mean "... as they don't wear masks ..." , correct? Otherwise I think you are leaving out the people who reject masks at every opportunity.


> You mean "... as they don't wear masks ..." , correct?

No. Wearing masks when common sense says you ought to, in the current situation, is independent-minded, not conformist. (For example, consider: the same person would have been wearing a mask before any guidance or rules were issued about it at all, since it took quite a while for such guidance and rules to catch up with the actual situation. A Bottom Left person would have been waiting for some guidance or rules to be issued. A Top Left person would have been calling out the mask wearer for overreacting, after all, things can't possibly be that bad if no guidance or rules have been issued requiring people to wear masks, right?)

> I think you are leaving out the people who reject masks at every opportunity.

Strictly speaking, yes, those could also count as Top Right, but I wanted to emphasize the fact that Top Right does not require stupidity.
