I speak Arabic (Syrian) natively and I think this is great! Good work! I agree with other comments that it might be helpful to mention somewhere that this is colloquial Egyptian Arabic. I can tell the difference easily but might be difficul

It's amusing how some Americans are buying into the idea that TikTok is a unique threat solely because it's associated with China, when platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others have been doing similar practices for ove

That won’t be good. Their release cycles need to be different for patches and upgrades. Being included in Python stdlib means they’ll only get updated when Python does, which won’t be good for neither maintainers nor users.

For what it’s worth, I like to think of myself as a fairly handy person and I like to do as much DIY as possible, but replacing the eroded thread in a mini blind I had on a double glazed window was insanely time consuming, aggravating, and

It doesn’t seem like we know enough to do a fair comparison. It would be interesting to have more details on how much they are paying ULA per mission compared to SpaceX per mission, like a breakdown of cost per flight.

If you consider cost associated as an added difficulty, it’s possibly even more difficult now.

The mistake the author is making is that indeed his friend Sam will still be Sam (even if he changes jobs) but he is a human that exists regardless of his function. Variable names’ on the other hand only exist to serve a function, when the

Really interesting solution and I was very happy using it today! Some quick thoughts: - It would be great if you add a feature to import an OPML - Definitely needs a way manage feeds in folders/tags - I would also really like a way to

I think the idea of "we don't know the details" is not always true. Sometimes it is of course, but sometimes it's not. A term like glitch glosses over that detail and makes it seem like situations are similarly unknown,

Just go back to good old value trade mechanics rather than the predatory ones. People can tell when a transaction does not sound fair, you may think that they should think it is, but if the tactics employed are such as those done by Medium

One of the reason that finally got me to drop Spotify is their constant (and usually very small) tinkering with their interface. I used to use it in specific ways and not very often so when I needed to find or edit a playlist it was very an
