    "Domain-verifications" is an invitation for everyone else that might need it to use the same standard and convention. "Discord-domain-verification" is not, it's what feels like pol…

    No, in fact I don't. But this post wouldn't be of any help anyway. It feels like it's about nothing, there is no substance, just stating some obvious facts. Without examples that l…

    Are you sure the counter is not broken?

    It looks like the developer was so hooked on the idea of making it minimalistic, he forgot to make it a language-learning app. So it's a blob with a backstory. Design with no subst…

    Maybe you'll appreciate having it pointed out to you: you should work on your usage of "where" vs "were".

    For the JS developers: similar useful behavior (and more!) can be implemented in JS using the wonderful Effection library. https://effection-www.deno.dev/

    I was just asking to know your thought process, but this discussion probably won't lead to anything anyway — in my view a person's stance on vaccines, gay rights, what have you, do…

    False dychotomy — there are more options than "protecting anonymity" and "revealing identity so that credentials can be vetted". He just writes what he believes under his own name,…

    "By design", for me, doesn't say that it can't be changed — maybe the design was wrong, after all. Would it be a major hurdle or create some problems if fixed today?

    Aren't these bugs that could be "simply" reported and fixed? Or maybe those would get a label "not a bug" attached by the TS creators for some reason?

    This is not my point. Trusting someone else's code audit is infinitely more valuable than trusting any "vibe check", since it touches the actual subject matter.

    I don't claim that the problem does not exist, but I haven't really felt it during my daily usage with relatives.
