https://archive.is/4HBye Website redirects to the regional homepage instead of showing the actual article. I don't get why this is still a thing.

Interesting read! I find the idea to use SQL queries to get only the relevant data quite convincing. I do wonder how this would work in practice though. Any changes the user makes …

Website got hugged to death: https://archive.is/plsp9

These example commits seem like pretty bad commit messages to me. They are just a summery of the changes (something a motivated reader can rediscover by reading the diff), while le…

No I did mean flag values. Allowing user-controlled short flags is horrifying.

I disagree with it being a minor issue. If I write a shell script around a program that accepts GNU-style arguments, I expect the following to be correct: ./cmd -a"$USER_CONTROLLED…

I think because Claude said so and the author just copied it without checking. You can see it in the first screenshot of Claude's output: > After examining the provided code, I've …

Only if you don't care about accessibility. You still want labels for screenreaders and other assistive technologies.

Have you tried it? They use a proprietary integration with Authy that prevents you from using anything else. No QR code is ever provided.

I tested the example using the TalkBack screenreader on Android. With Firefox I was able to select and click on the link, but it did not announce the email address. With Chromium i…

I agree! Showing a bit of the markdown in the rendered text really gives the page a nice hacky feel. I'm doing something similar on my website[1] but this blog looks a lot nicer th…

This isn't true. Take the @valvesoftware twitter account for example: https://web.archive.org/web/20191118232351/https:/twitter.co... The account was already verified right from th…

It's called Direct Debit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_debit

At least with the bank I use (bunq) I get notifications for such transfers and I need to manually approve them for the transfers to take place. If it's a recurring payment I can se…

I just woke up to this and was surprised the title was eddied as well. I looked up the guidelines and it looks like I violated the "If the title includes the name of the site, plea…

The app has a permanent notification stating 'Your Internet is now private.' while using warp. That seems very misleading to the end user in my opinion.

Interestingly, Dutch news websites usually handle GDPR popup dialogs property. Example: https://nos.nl/ . It's just as easy to opt-in as to opt-out. Just tap the checkmark or the X…

Sounds interesting! I would recommend you to add some examples of what your extention actually does. The code of ethics only gives me a vague idea.

I personally prefer https://send.firefox.com/ as they also encrypt the files.
