I’ve seen the bread in most Asian countries. You get what you pay for. Only premium bread may be worth it, and still not on pair with cheap basic European bread.

> Spotlight is a really good search tool I loved Spotlight until I had to check out several project to my computer. Now with thousands of non-own files it’s really hard to find wha…

I was expecting a rant about the Finder, found one on window management (which has infinite solutions). Other than the spacebar and column view, the Finder is a toy compared to Fil…

That’s true, you have to be aware of the email address you used in every service instead of blindly entering your email address. But you can also deactivate the email address and b…

Because it’s a potential pain. I just used Hide my email for a non-critical but real-life situation. I had to learn my new email address and I’ll have to remember it forever. I’ll …

Low-quality spam veeery rarely makes it to my inbox, but “opt-out newsletters after signup” are basically how every business operates nowadays. And that’s spam as far as I’m concer…

Dots are useful to create new accounts on the same site, but you can’t use it to just tell websites apart (because there’s no label)

This is basically it. Legally it’s all immigrants, but colloquially “immigrants” are people looking for a better (richer) life while “expats” are in a place because they like it, n…

What you’re saying was not clear from the start, you keep moving the goalpost. Ironically XML allowed namespaces so css:color="red" could have totally been a thing. However CSS cam…

Prices are so flexible I usually find a hotel and then Google it to find a better price, even if I end up on the same site. The worst thing is when they advertise a price without t…

> what happens if folks start selling the ‘edit’ You’re onto something. I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen if edits are not limited. We already see “wow this went viral, here’s…

It’s not the responsibility, but if you read their post it’s obviously their concern.

Sorry Guillermo but you’re not being truthful here. “$ now” worked on any node server, not just static content, it would just run “npm start”. Now v2+ instead requires a handler-ba…

But Twitter doesn’t want to be just another webpage. Tweets and its dates are used in court and by historians. That’s basically why Twitter has been hesitant to allow edits. I kind…

> which has database-level implications I don’t think such a change really matters at a company like Twitter. The problem is more about principle than technicalities.

Unlike GitHub, tweets should not be editable forever. I think 5 minutes is reasonable. Even HN has an edit time limit. I hope they also limit how much you can tweets (even though, …

Difficulty was not the reason why it took so long. The excuse has been that they want tweets to be immutable, so you don’t share a tweet for it to be changed later.

I don’t know how it compares to Windows and Android, but in South East Asia I get “mobile prices” on my iPhone and they’re actually lower than on the desktop.

Easy. Add an asterisk and nobody will follow it. Problem fixed. That’s actually how we got legal copy longer than the content.

Technically it exists, I wonder if that’s what they used. It’s called BlaBlaCar

You don’t like my “lecturing,” but you continue making preposterous statements and asking questions that can’t be answered without “lecturing.” It’s like you’re saying “why is the …

Contrary to popular belief, HTML and CSS are unrelated. If any CSS property was also an HTML attribute, any addition to either spec would have to make sure it wouldn’t conflict. On…

Considering the state of Italian railways IT, I wonder if the attack was accomplished by entering admin/admin in some login box.

> with people posting where they were/going and picking up other travellers. That’s ludicrous, I wish people helping other people this way was more common.
