I had no issues that were directly attributable to the way they behave and not to my own ignorance. In short: once I learned and documented the checkout/update/reset commands, I wa…

You're using them wrong. I've been using them for years and I have no issues with them, however I treat them as a read-only dependency. They have their use and it's not that hard o…

As a non-American, the dumbest change that affects me daily, is the renaming of the master branch. Master means teacher in romance languages and its variations are part of daily us…

European here: I do. I also have a federated government login that I can use to officially identify myself with the many government agencies.

I'm looking forward to the day physical mail is outlawed with few exceptions. Junk mail is such a wasteful endeavor only meant to subsidize shipments of value that can't be electro…

I think browsers could nowadays figure out when enough bytes result in enough quality. Progressive images should have been the solution since the very beginning and it’s disappoint…

Uhm, this is a preview. You’re not supposed to use it until it’s widely available. They’re just showing it off and gathering feedback. > I'll file this under something interesting …

So verbose. Better: document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(element => element.animate( {translate: '5px 5px'}, {duration: 500, iterations: 1/0} ))

Except that rude words weren’t taped over back then, unless you lived in a monastery.

I just received a direct email, which ended up in the spam folder, using the name I assigned to my Google account. This name is unique, not used anywhere else, I only specified it …

I think you can ask that to ChatGPT in a follow up question ;)

You can always press “cmd minus” to bring the old web back. Every press brings you back by a decade

Same for my European bank. It’s annoying enough that I quit the app and reopen it to try FaceID again. I don’t even know my bank password

Selenium stinks alright

No, there’s intention to monetize.

My guess is that it was hacked together and they piled hacks upon hacks for decades. There’s no chance anyone can or wants to fix that. Let’s not forget it came out in 1995 so the …

I think eBay has always been terrible. The website was awful and it went downhill fast after 2007 I think. I still remember how I was able to include javascript and CSS that affect…

That’s standard. This scam is nearly 2 decades old, except back then it was done via PayPal. I think you’ll find more by searching “PayPal chargeback scam”

Here’s what happens: 1. Service launches 2. They get loaded with scams 3. They implement safety mechanism 4. Repeat cat and mouse game until the list of “if/else ban” reaches the d…

In my European country, you can only mail money via insured mail. Otherwise it’s prohibited. I assume it’s to avoid responsibility and money laundering. From what I see there are l…

Myanmar has its own cables: https://www.submarinenetworks.com/stations/asia/myanmar Additionally the cable in question comes from Europe, so the Vietnam break shouldn’t affect Myan…

Which Google are you referring to exactly? With its many successful products, I don’t see Google being overtaken anytime soon. Ads are doing better than ever, Android is holding st…

IMHO it’s high time China and Japan went the enlightened Hangul way Korea took half a millennia ago. There’s no reason to keep to absurdity going any longer; even they don’t know h…
