Any decent CMS allows for these to be configured differently for each page because they serve different audiences. Your title tag, open graph title tag, Google metadata title and actual <h1> all serve very different purposes. For Face

Absolutely, not getting the degree was justified. I also believe that in some fields (software development) a degree isn't really necessary, and I'm glad most employers see the value in experience and willingness to learn. Taxes a

This sounds great! I remember teaching myself to read before I was supposed to (very standard Belgian education), and probably as a result I was from that point on always ahead of my classmates simply because I'm very curious. I tended

It's a convenience thing. Once you get used to it, it works well. You define a loader in your webpack config, which then decides what to do with the PNG. Usually, what happens if you require a PNG is that it passes via url-loader or fi

OK, I can see that. For me the environmental impact is a nice bonus, but it's never something I'd mention as a reason for not wanting children.

Hm. I always think these statements are a bit weird and somewhat trying to hide something else. I don't want children because I really don't want to have children. I think children are a ton of work and I really don't think I

Really? I don't see that happening very often here in Belgium. Unless traffic on the main roads is really really bad, I hardly ever get sent through residential areas. (We have an incredibly dense road network though, so main roads are

Google Maps does this to a certain extent (but it might need some learning period). At times you might notice the route it suggests you is labeled as "best", not as "fastest". Usually, for example, it sends me via the hi

Google Maps has commute updates. If you tell it what your commute is, on Android anyway, you'll get a discrete notification telling you how long the route home is, and a very quick summary of what route to take (for me it says either t

I got Ambroos#2772 or #2727 (can't remember, it's been a while). Which is fun, because I have a thing with 27 as it's the birthday of all my grandparents (moms side) grandchildren.

I was going for "Wat mag het zijn?" which is something I hear a lot when going out, but is hard to translate. I thought the distinction between want and like in English conveys a similar idea.

That's a very US-centric view. PayPal is an abstraction layer. In Belgium, for example, many people do not use credit cards (although adoption is increasing thanks to online shopping). It was quite common a few years back to ask if a f

I'm not so sure. The majority of Belgians speak Dutch and we are perceived as a lot less direct. The first example in the article, "What do you want?" or the translation in Dutch, is something you'll rarely hear in Belgi

Google's "big" client apps (Inbox / Gmail / Calendar) are a mix of Java converted to JS (GWT) and native JS with the Closure library/compiler. I think, anyway.

I have so many questions for you right now. - what does Finnish rally driver sound like - how did you meet Dame Judy Dench - where are you actually from? It's pretty funny how language roots show. Finnish and Hungarian are the same fam

Dominos doesn't use the same web platform everywhere. Dominos Belgium for example shares a platform used by some other countries (FR, DE, NL, AU and more) which is completely different from the US one. And there are a few more codebase

Exactly the same experience here. I've started using Firefox with Chrome completely shut down when I'm doing critical work. It's very annoying. Since about a week however it seems to have been fixed, might have been a recent

This is one of those things that should be better with modern handsets and the security patch level for Android. Hopefully a fix for this is included in the November set. In general most bigger manufacturers have been somewhat decent in upd

Is this a known issue? https://cl.ly/1b2O1g231m47/Screen%20Shot%202017-09-26%20at%2... I'm on High Sierra and the UI at the top seems to do something really really weird...

I even get that in Belgium. And the occasional cashier that double-checks the terminal's ticket/output because they suspect the transaction is invalid because "as far as they know contactless doesn't work".

If Sweden is like Belgium, minimum fees don't exist. Transaction costs go down a lot to practically nothing for small transactions.

For Firebase it's actually not awful. We have 3 Firebase projects each with their caps raised to 100k concurrent connections, and it was a decent experience. Always the same person handling my support case etcetera, not too bad.

Really? I've never seen anyone with a shared IPv4. Maybe because every time I look into it the first thing I do is modify their firewall settings slightly. Heh.

Not the case. All Telenet customers still get at least 1 public IPv4 address without NAT.
