    That's weird, I've never experienced that, and I'm also a pretty frequent Reddit user.

    No, it doesn't imply that. Saying party X plans to do something implies nothing about what party Y plans to do.

    I had the same problem. Updating uBlock Origin fixed it.

    Can you elaborate on how the two titles mean something different? To my reading, "Here's how they ..." and "How they ..." mean the same thing. "Here's" is unnecessary. (Not saying …

    Unless you get hit with the flat fee instead. > Packages sent to the US from mainland China and Hong Kong with a value of up to $800 now face a 120% tax rate or are subject to a fl…

    This is specifically not selectlist. "Previously, the Chrome team was working on the idea of a selectlist element. What's described in this post is that feature redesigned to reuse…

    You were lucky. Lots of people who recently had their battery replaced (before the update was announced) were affected by this.

    Google didn't announce anything. That's a message from a customer support rep to a single individual.

    Only for 2006. All months are available for earlier years.

    I don't understand why you said they didn't explain the reason for the 3-month ban. Your link [0] lays out the reasons.

    How did they type '2' on those old typewriters?

    Maybe I misunderstood you, but Anduril doesn't include strobe modes on the main cycle, and it lets you configure how many brightness steps you want (or hold for continuous ramping)…

    The article pointed to a study noting that about half of patients who survived wished they hadn't. In other words, they found survival to be a worse outcome than death.

    I had the same issue. I think changing the logo to improve legibility is a good idea.

    The underscore is to avoid conflicts with your own attributes named make, asdict, etc. So you could do: MyClass = namedtuple("MyClass", ["make", "asdict", "fields"]) x = MyClass(ma…

    The article seemed to go out of its way not to mention any specific package manager or ecosystem. So I think comparing to Rust is completely reasonable.

    Not wild at all if those extra features get in the way and make it harder to do the subset of things you want to do. Those extra features also occupy the developers' attention, lea…
