Indeed, the whole "you're not buying a game, you are buying a license to the game" is a bad argument that is used to justify not allowing resale. The only party it benefits are the…

It's funny seeing this article pop up as I've been exploring getting back into the handhelds as well recently. My 9-year old has his old Gameboy Advance SP (those flippy things) bu…

Claiming email has solved spam is a WILD take as 45% of current email traffic is spam.

Seeing things being broken but not being fixed is a real source of frustration. The tricky thing in my experience has been figuring out which are issues that nobody bothered to fix…

The UK in general is left out when talking about Europe or the EU because of a mix of historical behaviour and geography (i.e. not on the continent).

Oh exactly, it's great to have a single cable / charger for many different items in the household. The biggest downside I see with USB-C in this case is that the cables and charger…

Banning corporate ownership of housing wouldn't solve all problems but it would be a good start. Locals in general are not able to buy up as much of the housing, but it would still…

Tweakers.net probably has more specialized filters I'd imagine.

19 degrees is crazy, I thought that offices and public buildings were limited to 25 degrees? EDIT: I didn't search too long but I found an article from a few years ago talking abou…

As can be said about Afganistan and its people. That doesn't mean it's not risky going there or that people are queueing to enter.

I was actually considering going for a ride on the motorcycle today if the outage lasted another day. Beautiful weather, a tank full of gasoline, and no stress about work? Sign me …

I was referring to the fact that generally people prefer cold beer, not room temp beer.

I spent my last 5 euros on a sandwich and a croissant to eat on the walk home. All in all a pretty decent experience.

That was a fun 10 hours or so that we were without power in most of Barcelona. Some barrios had ~some~ power but most of us were without. The one thing that surprised me is how qui…

I'd love to do something similar for myself, but having never worked with NFC I see there are tons of different options. Would you mind mentioning what tags you got?

Interesting stuff, thanks for the reply! Do you run into issues where they block your scraping attempts or are they quite relaxed on this? Circumventing the bot detection often for…

Do you have a technical writeup of your scraping approach? I'd love to read more about the challenges and solutions for them.
