ChatGPT is a joke for this. Any interesting/funny topics result into a judgmental response and refusal. I asked to write a 100-words first message for a Tinder match who had "very …

Re: child labor. It's awful but who sends these kids to work? What will a mother of 3 children do if she can't feed herself? It's a terrible cycle but it takes ages to fix. No fore…

The point of bringing jobs to Kenya is that they can pay less. If you don't see that as a benefit, why should I, a business, go to the trouble of working with a Kenyan company rath…

> That sounds overly dramatic Try appending this piece of code to your `index.js` and let me know how it goes in Safari: const r = /( The parser will encounter a syntax error and n…

Chrome already won, non-Apple users basically don't have a choice. Please tell me how Chrome has "slowed down" after reaching the current market share years ago. It's not like Safa…

Google won the web years ago and it's still "innovating." By "is the new IE" people generally mean the 2007 IE, not the 1999 IE. I don’t think many complained about those shiny new…

> Also you should rethink your life if you consider yourself a Twitter/Reddit power user. I'm not, but people can make money on those platforms nowadays, so don't be so judgmental.…

Content. If your platform sucks, power users can hang around, using power tools. This isn't so much of a problem on Twitter as much as Reddit, though. Their native experience is ok…

All that looks good on paper, but a lot of apps require full disk access and can easily run in the background, so how "trustable" can that really be in practice? With iOS at least …

Chrome is not the the weakest / furthest behind major browser

Anyone who disagrees hasn't tried to develop a website on Chrome and Firefox only to find out Safari still doesn't support regex lookbehind (which means zero javascript will now ru…

Super nice to scroll a 150-lines-long list of countries by swiping on a 1-inch-tall target on my huge screen. Even now it's stupid they don't offer keyboard filtering.

Are you talking about the OTP delivered via unencrypted SMS? Surely Apple knows how to set up a link with a barebones encryption better than SMS’

I've been using Safari for years now and I still think it's poor in many areas. URL autocompletion is an absolute joke. Detaching tabs has been browser-crashingly-bad for about a y…

If you don't trust Apple to enforce that, can you even prove that Apple won't act as a key logger too?

The sad thing about clickbait is that it works wonders, and you'll never guess what happens next!

> tests are much better at giving you a glimpse of what the code even does Types do that, they tell you the expected input and expected output. No type nor test is all-encompassing…

Static as in "the page is pre-generated, not generated on every HTTP request" It's the right setup for write rarely, read often scenarios.

Are tests useful? Because this is what TypeScript gives you: it helps you avoid regressions. If I change a signature, tests fail. If I pass junk data, tests fail. It's like invisib…

Even cheaper than a flight and chump change compared to a private helicopter. Apples to oranges.

Bad programmers are all around us. It could have been fixed with a min() call

That also loses line breaks, as well as requiring significantly more steps for a single copy-paste.

It’s just because they were developed by white males /s

I badly need a "tour" mode
