It was extremely popular in Russian-speaking areas in the late 90s.

Open phones are all fine and well, but good luck convincing banking and government applications to work on those (especially in countries where bank login is used to access government services).

This is why I'm sticking with moment.js for now. I don't like that it's not immutable, but I value bundling timezone data into the app too much. Our customers are likely to use outdated browsers at their workplaces (we even h

For one, it makes your Github profile look more attractive to employers (superficially, at least). Sometimes, I'd guess, it's also because your Github profile has some kind of an advertisement.

I hope so... but in the fan translation world the first translation is almost always the only translation, and the only one most people will experience even in the exceedingly rare case of an alternate translation coming into existence (as

This statement still, unfortunately, doesn't clarify whether the final translation was MTPE (machine translation post-editing) or translated from scratch by humans. I'm not a professional translator, but according to those of them

Amazing technical achievement, and also a very unfortunate situation with the reliance on AI translation. I'm not privy to the details of the actual translation process (whether AI translation was really just a technical placeholder or

Together with websites losing traffic from search engines and because of AI, this is quite a death spiral for a huge chunk of the internet.

It doesn't help that tech publications and gaming websites keep getting bought out by crypto and gambling companies. https://aftermath.site/gameshub-clickout-media-seo-gambling-...

I was thrilled for new Windows releases between 3.11 and 8.1. I'm still reasonably fond of Windows for personal use. For now I can still de-enshittify it enough to get back the experience I'm used to, and it's comfortable and

You could also offload potentially GC-heavy parts to C++ and write the rest in C#. Depends on the game, but usually most of the game logic that you'll be constantly tinkering with doesn't require all that much memory in the first

I was under the impression that all of those services and login methods rely on suomi.fi in the end, but I admit that I don't understand the system terribly well.

Tangential, but what resources would you recommend for learning world history (preferably including the non-Western world as well)? For someone who is not aiming to be an expert or work with source records, but wants to improve their genera

>the number of employing businesses decreasing by 9,000 (0.7%), but the number of non-employing businesses rising by 201,000 (4.9%) Isn't "non-employing business" an euphemism of sorts for "Uber driver"? No idea

I think most people learn git through the particular processes that are established at their workplace, as every company uses git or VCS in general differently somehow.

I feel like that isn't even anything new, most businesses have worked like that for a long time. It's much more straightforward to be a supplier for a few big clients than to be a B2C. We just don't hear about them as often b

Slightly tangential, but... Is practicing chess at an adult age beneficial for the brain, or is it already too late?

The CGI was preserved well enough for the fans who got access to some of it to re-render it in HD and upload to YouTube [0]. If WB cared even a little, fully CGI-rendered scenes could have been remastered relatively easily. The only scenes

Thank you for the correction, you're absolutely right.

Some demography experts mention that financial incentives do work starting from the second child (if provided as a lump sum, and with usage not restricted too much). It's not something that can stop the population decline, but it can s

Why is everyone using Vercel and the likes anyway? Setting up a VPS with Node takes ten minutes and is miles cheaper. And it's not like you never have to debug issues with serverless configurations, which can even occasionally be harde

It is a good way if you want to protect yourself against pressure from the US. Sure, the Kremlin did it for reasons that don't exactly paint them in a good light, but this has nonetheless become a real risk for Europe as well.

Not in Russia, payments made with a Visa card do not go through Visa any longer, at all. You can even use expired Visa cards (with most banks).

That's not how it worked, Russia prepared well in advance before the war (admittedly, after Crimea-related sanctions scared the hell out of them in 2014). When the 2022 sanctions dropped, transactions within Russian borders kept workin

Russia switched 100% of its payments seamlessly, no reason for the EU not to do the same. Build up the network and tell banks to use that network even for transactions initiated with Visa/MC cards. At that point cards are still usable,

IIRC, admins of a server can configure it to require different levels of authentication, from anonymous all the way to requiring a verified phone number (the latter of which I have so far refused to join).

This argument is often brought up against protesters, in Russian circles as well, but we need to remember that it's _the government_ that's jailing kids, not the protesters.

This was definitely a little frustrating. Matrix protocol does have stickers technically, I've been following that PR since its inception. But when I last used it in practice, admittedly a few years ago, the UX was lacking. Adding and
