    I used Chrome exclusively for a very long time. I’ve since moved back to FF and have been much happier with it.

    In the current FF there are regular settings to tweak or disable all of that. Similar to what you’d see in Chrome, but with more control.

    I get the impression that Medium is pretty low effort, brings in readers, and is fairly popular (mindshare is a thing). I considered it before doing github sites (now does ssl easi…

    I had this scenario with my Vizio, too (I mentioned it above). I got the new remote amd they had replaced Chromecast firmware with their own smart tv junk that required TOS accepta…

    My Vizio replaced its built-in, vanilla Chromecast capability with a conventional “smart tv” interface that I didn’t want. And to be able to use that , they force you to accept a T…

    That sounds like a reasonable concern. I generally worry more about alternative options being bought by someone else, or languishing / deprecation. In either case, the subject of a…

    If we’re only talking about operations that are fast, nearly bulletproof, and trivial, then I’m even less sold on the idea. In the article it describes reverting the state of the c…

    Wow. What’s the justification for this?

    I didn’t know this and it sure seems to corroborate what others suggested about it being intentional, but for completely different reasons.

    It sounds like they're suggesting that, assuming those rights exist in these situations (they claim there's ambiguity there), that there are big questions around what qualifies as …

    Seems like those laws come from people that already live there, and it seems kinda reasonable for a community to have those opinions and make their own ordinances. The part I don't…

    Support from Play has been pretty good. I've used it a few times. I have gotten one person whose English wasn't strong, but they did manage to get me a workable contact. The thing …

    Both of those confuse me. jQuery's peak popularity as a stand-alone resource was before SPA's were even a thing.

    Maybe there's an error in the authors assumption that we'd seriously try to evacuate the planet. I've always assumed that the point of colonizing Mars is just to have an off-world …

    Yep. It's just easier to start a basic site in PHP when you're new. The typical tutorial is "write these four lines in a file and upload it to any host." You're good to go. Now the…

    I believe the maximum number of people where the pass-thru taxation can apply is different. At least that used to be the case my state.

    I have the same thing. I've never had a cavity, and have been repeatedly told that I probably never will (mid-30's). But on the other hand, I was warned that gum disease will be my…

    They're really neat and there are tons of applications, but I've never been able to find good, usable packages to use with my own projects. Once in a blue moon one of the usual sus…

    I'm inclined to agree on all these points, but I do end up doing most of these things now, in one way or another. For loops I'll create a collection of items in a function (usually…

    That's interesting. With the exception of retirememt contributions, I've never worked at a place that withheld any benefits. I have had trial periods where I got a raise after prov…

    No. It doesn't depend. As he said, those words have actual definitions.
