Why not the Irony Sign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation

Huh, that's interesting. I guess this also varies tremendously by region. WhatsApp completely dominates non-work communication in Argentina; we don't use SMS, nor phone calls, and …

Yeah, Netflix is a monopoly, or almost a monopoly. Amazon Prime is basically US-only. HBO gets hired during GoT season and then dumped. Meanwhile, the majority of the people out th…

Actually, you can even have the Messenger app with no Facebook account. Just sign in with your phone number, and it'll pick up acquaintances from your contact book (much like Whats…

> The voters elected a Republican government Not the majority though, as far as I understand, they won even though they don't have a majority of the voters, just a majority of the …

If I want to donate $1 per month to somebody, cashing out $20 in advance is quite a bit -- it'd probably discourage a lot of people, since the initial investment is too much.

Authentication in Skype is awful. At one point, for reasons beyond me, I ended up having two accounts: * One account required me to log in with a username, and was associated with …

Wow, this is amazing. I've seen kids being told off for NOT having a mobile phone on them at school so they could reach their parents in case of urgency. It's amazing how mindsets …

Yet, do many people use the standalone Shazam app, rather than the Siri integration?

On iOS, Shazam is usually used through Siri (it's beyond me why anyone would download the standalone app). I wonder if the connection is made straight from the iPhone to shazam, or…

My uncapped 100Mbps link costs me 0.7% of my monthly salary. The plan you mention, is about 11% of the average salary in India. Even though it's cheaper in absolute terms, it's sti…

They also consulted with original authors about their intentions, rather than pain over what they'd done blindly.

It's never sent to the server; the key is derived from your passphrase, so it's never sent anywhere. It's still possible for a sophisticated MITM to replace the JS code so that is …

That argument is really sound. In India. It doesn't really apply in developed countries where internet access is already present (or accessible to the majority).

Actually, Pipfiles are more akin to the two supported mechanisms, requirements.txt is not always used with version pinning

The lack of backup/export is the killer for me. When resetting the phone, or moving to a new iPhone, there's no way to carry over settings. The same applies if you have more than o…

There's also _totp-cli_, which also uses _pass_ as a backend. The big difference is mostly that _totp-cli_ uses a more human-friendly interface, rather than requiring machine-frien…

It targets Linux users, but is Chrome-only (and not Firefox support?). That's a really really odd, step to take, especially considering both browsers use pretty much the same exten…

> you're asked only after installation. You have to pro-actively disable it. Of course it's done after installation -- how would an app allow you to configure something BEFORE it's…

This doesn't really affect the scenario you mentioned. Previously users entered their email just once, and had to confirm newsletter subscription via email. They didn't need to fil…

So, MailChimp will make more money, as users get more unwanted emails, and clients have to pay for it. Wow.

Historically, w3schools had a lot of outdated (or outright wrong content): http://www.w3fools.com/

What do you mean? The same button is there in the Control Center.

Whoops, typo, I meant to say I've had it disabled all that time.

There's still money being lost; when you buy coins, and when the developer sells them. Unless they can pay their usual expenses using cryptocurrencies, they'll need to sell, at a l…
