Because the same two numbers (routing and account) are used to deposit money AND debit money. So if you post your account numbers I can pull all your money out. Now you'll likely get it back if you file a fraud claim, but that's an extra Hassel, and your out finds until they give you a provisional credit.
You can pull from an account you don't own? This sounds completely insane.
I have been using SumatraPDF on Windows for a long time. After opening a PDF file with it for the first time, I never went back to Adobe Reader. SumatraPDF is much faster, cleaner and less memory hungry.
tried it for some time, but quickly moved away since it had problems with rendering, comments and I need to highlight and annotate PDFs, also ocasionally I sign there documents with my transparent GIF signature, I don't think sumatra can do any of these but I am adobe hater, didn't use their software for decades, now I am using for years Foxit reader
Indeed, it's a "viewer" not an "editor" :)

I use the PDF viewer built into Firefox and Edge. Am I missing out on something?
It's very noticeably slower and computationally intensive compared to Sumatra (or Okular) with larger files like 1000-page long reference manuals as well as massive textbooks, both of which I frequently use. On web browsers, it generally takes a whole few seconds to load if you scroll quickly past a few pages. I guess if you don't need to jump around in big pdfs, Firefox viewer is perfectly fine.

> Let's say I need to do a network request. I could include a monster library like curl or I could write 300 lines of code using win32 APIs. I wrote 300 lines of code.
huh, reminds me of tangent I have been in the same exact boat and did the same. Then something came up with SSL and just dragged in curl and doubled executable size. I think things are better these days in WinHTTP..
Does anyone know why it's never possible to just transfer money, but they ask for patreon or paypal? I live in the EU and as far as I know its super cheap to send money into a bank account. At least cheaper than what I suppose is patreon's cut.
Because in the U.S. we don't really have a standardized way to transfer money to another bank account, at least not without knowing their bank routing number and account number, which isn't really information you want to share :) Silly, I know.
