Agree, though I 100% see it on PC too, when web pages try to override standard scroll behavior to do some visual trick at the expense of well tested platform and browser scrolling support.

I'd be interested in knowing which independent agencies have backdoored the military's operational communication channels. Wasn't aware that was a well known thing.

> use search and actually have it find stuff There has never been a good first-party answer to that in the past, though there were various third-party extensions and tools. Today the answer is just add the copilot license to your o365...

You may pay more for it, but "culinary solvent" is what you want to buy if you are trying to get it as an individual. It's pure food grade ethanol. It's still tricky most places in the US -- you will likely have to jump

Unless of course you're owed a refund, in which case they'll hold your money and pay you interest on it (at least for a few years.) ...but then tax you on the interest they paid you if you claim it.

But only because we're confused and think we're still paying for pro wrestling. :D

While there's merit to the "know your enemy" approach, I wouldn't expect everyone to take it.

Maybe... but I read it more as (and tend to agree with) blow it off because it's explicitly an approach that makes the world a worse place in almost every way except perhaps your bank account balance. It's possible to be successfu

Feels like a case study in _why not_ to trust internet randos without hardware experience with a device that's meant to handle a bunch of private data.

Maybe we just have vastly different understandings of "ordinary" job seekers, "ordinary" career counselors, and why they'd interact... but I'm not sure I get the point? Isn't the book the basis of exactly

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll give you a free three month subscription to a new pair of eyes every time they leak your iris scans.

Agreed -- we had a team account at work for a while, but then they both took away a huge portion of the back catalog (something like 60% of my queue disappeared) and then immediately after wanted to increase our pricing enormously... we pas

Hopefully without also learning that the most efficient means to that end is eliminating children.

Don't trust the server, trust the poster/client... that's really where the preview should be coming from anyway. And if you _don't_ trust the poster, you shouldn't be trusting anything they link you to anyway. It&#x

Nope, unless things have changed since I last dealt with it, Open Graph metadata is not considered "http-equiv" so does _not_ get served as an http header, only as a meta tag in the html header... so the HEAD verb won't get t

No, that's fine, you're just supposed to make it look like you aren't doing it _because_ they unionized.

It's an issue everywhere, some places choose to have and enforce laws to curb it. The PNW mostly doesn't.

Of course. If you have a viable business and the debt is related to that, that's exactly what the corporate veil is for. If you just want to hedge your bets on your personal GCP bill for hobby stuff, not so much.

Read your sibling comment... basically doing this solely for the purpose of trying to avoid debt won't work unless the creditor is just too lazy to pursue it.

+1 If the latter... I'm not sure that it's explicitly against the rules, but coopting a name of something as your handle just to complain about it is in poor taste and probably should be.

Not comparable at all... the latter knows and admits it's a joke/money-grab and is not trying to pretend it's actually doing something good for the world.

Was kind of disappointed to see what was mostly a well-reasoned and supported article veer off into anecdotal "kids these days" rant mode at the end.

Exactly. And epub will be an option for that just as soon as we have an html+css format that renders exactly the same on different clients and platforms when authored by someone who doesn't know what they're doing... so roughly ne

Largely agree... and to top it off, the pricing models mostly work against ever having a successful deployment of one. Either you price per end user, and optimize against building anything that is widely adopted, or you pay per developer, i

I think the question was less "Do you say this pseudonymously to other developers?" than "Do your salespeople say this to your prospective customers?"

I'd say it's a lot more than _just_ nostalgia, though that certainly can play in too... But there are plenty of aspects of this, like snappy interaction latencies and a small pool of simple but consistent UI components that behave
