As an aside, for very good analysis of current Chess games (as well as older sagas around certain legends of the game), I heartily recommend checking out agadmator's Youtube channe…

It was tied to the beginning of Covid lockdowns as well. Chess has had a very strong year in terms of numbers coming to the game. Queen's Gambit seems to have exploded that again.

Not arguing that this could be used in an abusive relationship, but if we work on the basis that someone could install a similar program on their partner's phone that's not Google.…

I think you are misunderstanding. The secret does not need to be hardcoded in the python file. If it's read in from an environment variable or some other external source, it will a…

This release is amazing, I was slowly moving everything to Chrome from Firefox over the last year-ish. This really changes Firefox. Everything is incredibly snappy, at times more r…

The DUP are the unionist party in the north of Ireland. They are against a united Ireland and were leave campaigners.

Reporting a bug, or a pull request with a failing test would help the author no doubt. It would also add some credence to your argument which lacks any reproduction details.

Presuming this is closed source? Although it looks like a neat concept, it would be a more attractive option if I knew something that was dealing with my browsing history was open …

What is wrong with the sort of thing that whatsapp do? a small fee (~€1) a year. If they could make it payable via some easy method (SMS?) then people would willingly pay a small f…

One that I use the whole time is: git status --untracked=no This shows only files that are tracked. I tend to do a lot of work which leaves files that I don't want to check in lyin…
