    I'm not sure if it was added after your comment, but there's a restart button at the bottom center of the screen that you can hit while the ball is falling.

    For anyone else viewing on mobile, I had to switch to desktop to see the creators, filters, and search.

    The author mentions > After all I’ve been a full stack dev for a little bit (just graduated college!) I'm guessing they differentiate being a dev (professionally or looking for wor…

    I don't know if this is the same experience for you, but for a while I would just open the camera app without realizing I had to swipe over to Google Lens mode to have it detect QR…

    Moved to Tokyo from the US in 2020. I first heard of the SDGs in language school. They're also heavily promoted in my work's orientation and training material, but the hq's over in…

    I believe this discussion is about the same issue with their browsers not blocking Microsoft-owned trackers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515

    For those studying a language that might use benefit from this, I have this CSS in my Anki cards. I use the ruby tag to remind me of readings for things that aren't the main focus …

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but would that work? I'm assuming (it wasn't clear) the goal there would be to display the person's whole face in a non-distracting way. But if the…

    For whatever it's worth, I just downloaded 1.9.5 for Windows from https://msysgit.github.io/ . While the release notes don't mention "CVE-2014-9390" explicitly, it does say this: C…

    Honest question. Not just for knappador, but anyone else who wants to chime in. How do you all feel about a single piece of glass vs. actual buttons? Personally, I tend to prefer r…

    Have you tried recently? I don't remember the steps, but they let me create a public page for my YouTube account. I still have one Google/Google+ account, but all my YouTube stuff …

    Well, not only if your phone is in a call, but also your phone number, device id and the number of the person you're connected to. Read phone status and identity: Allows the app to…

    That's not so bad compared to the other permissions on there. With Facebook, I'd guess (maybe incorrectly) you're already listing your phone number on there and they'll eventually …

    I think the article suggests using modifiers instead. So rather than having .mainContentWidget { background-color: white; font-size: 1.5em; text-transform: uppercase; } .sideBarWid…

    If the server running on links.example.com, wouldn't the 3rd party web server lose out on doing things like setting cookies in the client's browser or determining their rough locat…

    They don't seem to do anything. Searching without the brackets seems to give the same results for me. https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Abcode%3D*%2Bn_m%3D*+...

    Going through my own inbox for Facebook emails, it attaches my email address in the n_m parameter, the bcode parameter, and a mid parameter to all the links it gives me. This inclu…

    Oh, sorry. I misread "In any case, I'm actually really interested in the comment about spite Gruber makes at the end." as "In any case, I'm actually really interested in the commen…

    I'm going to start by saying I really don't know, but here are my guesses. It's all about the way they collect data for advertising and for analytics. For example, Twitter gives yo…

    The hash iterations are due to vBulletin's life span and being a product. They had md5 hashed passwords. Then they realized they have to salt them. So instead of adding the the sal…
