    Monzo in UK is fine with rooted and no Google Play. No idea how it would fare inside Waydroid though.

    Just a pure guess, but if you do a global find, you get a list of 3-line-ish chunks of context around search matches. If you then Ctrl+A to select all and press backspace, I wonder…

    I, too, have noticed this. Would be curious if anyone has a more in-depth article to read about why the difference is so stark!

    surprisingly, Uber does! m.uber.com is a mobile website for Uber. I only used once, in February, so hopefully they didn't break it since then.

    This sort of difference is one of the reasons I will always prefer subs. I guess I could be the odd one out but I'm not keen on the 'localisation' efforts that replace the cultural…

    Is it actually possible to just have the YAML that calls into your app today, without losing the granularity or other important features? I am not sure you can do this whilst havin…

    > Conforming to a complex specification is not inherently a good thing Kind of a hard disagree here; if you don't want to conform to a specification, don't claim that you're accept…

    This is something that a custom parser library could figure out, no? The same as how you have format-preserving TOML libraries, for instance. I think it makes way more sense for Gi…

    GraphQL has some impressive points, but sometimes feels like it shifts too much control to the client. I'm on the fence about it. There are performance footguns (like recursion, fo…

    Afaik Postgres doesn't. In my exposure it'd be quite uncommon for a b-tree to store the size of a subtree; would cause more churn/writes when updating trees. Perhaps some of the pa…

    Really nifty; can I ask what tags you are using? (are they off-the-shelf) Would be interested in doing something similar

    Yeah, if `main` returns an error I think it exits with an error code and prints it out, so quite similar to a panic. I think the blog post is not focussing on error handling too mu…

    If you wanted to match on characters (`char`s) then you could do this with single quotes (`'+'`) Or if you wanted to do it on bytes, you could also do this, with (`b'+'`). Unsure i…

    Might also be useful for me to link to the docs for `parse` [1] and to the trait `FromStr` [2] that it relies on: [1]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.pars.…

    maybe this isn't the question you meant to ask, but: `n` has the same type as the input of the `match` block. In other words, it's a fallback case. (In this case, it's `&str`; the …

    +1 even if you don't understand the language, it's nice to hear the real voice. This auto-dub-translation feature is also problematic in that viewers don't realise it's happening. …

    This claim just seems like sensationalist marketing BS. If you find the real quote: > “I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects…

    Not the person you're asking, but I find it adds a delay to setting off and frequently feels 'wrong' because it cuts the engine for a very short time. (I don't often drive at rush …
