I feel the need to point out that while many people might understand the point you're trying to make, the way this question is phrased doesn't do the best job of conveying it. If I…

The idea that self-driving cars will be anywhere in any timeframe is actually very pessimistic to me.

I've been working on an app to help VvEs* in the Netherlands self-manage. For about a year, I was trying to get our VvE management company* to take care of major issues we have in …

When you say "shoplifting," do you mean someone has simply walked/run out of the store without paying for something? If so, I don't really understand what that has to do with safet…

As someone whose mother tongue is English, I also find Urban Dictionary incredibly useful sometimes.

Airlines are among the worst when it comes to this for some reason. I gave a talk[1] a while back about the problems that occur when programmers introduce logic around people's nam…

It should be.

I'm building a gamified habit tracker, similar to Habitica[1], but simplified in some ways, and with offline support. My biggest issues with Habitica are their lack of offline supp…

I think this is only available on mobile, actually. I don't see this option on desktop.

I was considering getting YouTube Premium, but then I realized that it wouldn't work while incognito. I very often open videos in private tabs so it doesn't destroy my recommendati…
