That's pretty cool, it reminded me of Windy which is also pretty awesome. In fact, peeking at the source of windy, it looks like it also uses Leaflet! https://www.windy.com

Thanks for posting, this is interesting. It also reminds me of the file format and simplicity of the REST Client VS Code plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...

Then such forums where your posts can be manipulated so easily are a lost cause, and there's no point in getting frustrated about them.

I appreciate your response, even if my question was perhaps 50% rhetorical. Of course I can understand the psychological part of it, but that's what I contest here. You write an insightful message in a forum. Perhaps 5,000 people read

But _why_ does it feel kind of grating? Why does it frustate you? Again -- votes don't matter . I absolutely love the parent post for making it so plain. Moreover, why do you only care about the downvotes? Why don't upvotes bothe

Unfortunately Logitech k480, as good a concept it might be, has a very mediocre button feel and also feels very bulky . That was probably on purpose, so that it can support the weight of a tablet. On the bright side it can be found for pret

It's not the Android TV Launcher per se. If you revert that app to the factory-installed one, the "recommendations" banner will still show up within an old version of the launcher. So this comes from Play Services. It appears

That "context aware" concept has been changed for a while now, current versions of Android always have the buttons control the media volume. (If you are in a call, they control the call volume).

Yep, that's the way to go. I do the same. Easy to do with Google Calendar. In your work calendar: Settings -> Settings for My Calendars -> Access Permissions -> Get shareable link. In your personal calendar: Other Calendars -&

Is Qt considered native when you use KDE and not native when you use GNOME? Is Qt 3 considered not native when you use a KDE release that uses Qt 4 under the hood?

Remarkable's chrome extension does the same, no? And I have full control in the print dialog to adjust the output. There's a value if you provide a CLI tool for that, for automation.

Your comment seems completely off topic to the article. In any case, you can use the Chrome Web Store Publish API and not bother with the UI of the Dashboard.

I believe you cannot stay hands on and technical on _everything_. You might have some specialties you are good at from before becoming a manager, and have constructive input there. The rest, you delegate to other, usually senior members of

No, a git commit is not transparent to product, QA, devops, infosec teams. Opening a jira issue to document a change that everyone should be aware of can take me literally one minute, and I've even assigned it to the sprint and version

Great ideas. I would sign up for the newsletter in a heartbeat. I subscribe to many newsletters by Cooperpress (Javascript Weekly etc) and the weekly "best of js" rankings, and this would be a great complement to them.

I did not expect that, and sorry if I sounded harsh. I truly admire your enthusiasm, being proud of your work, and of course sharing your work with the open source community.

You get financial emails, I got about $1,200 through quickpay / zelle via my email address. Still waiting for them to contact me at the email _they_ used, to ask for their money back. I have no way of contacting them as the sender info
