That’s correct. I’m not talking about what happens to your data but about what you see on your feed.

Accepting 1500 friends and then complaining they’re too many. Who’s to blame here? Facebook is what you make of it. It offers relatively granular control over who you want to see so if even you must be friends with someone, you can still un

Public domain doesn’t mean easily accessible. Even if I’m able to find an organize this data from torrents and online pastes, I wouldn’t use it unless the effort was worth it. With tools like this your grandma will find out where you’re reg

This is the only reasonable explanation. If they fail to release it for any reason, they don’t want apps to mention a phone that never existed (especially if, say, they don’t have the rights to the name)

That’d make sense if it was what Apple says. They allow anyone to say that their app is XS-compatible even if they never owned an iPhone. Their worry is not actual compatibility.

A couple of hours in Manila’s traffic on a motorbike coated my ears with black dust. If you can even just reduce that intake by 30%, your lungs will be happier.

That's right. A whiteboard interview can be done without getting the interviewee up to date with the company's policies and tools, which might take longer than a couple hours.

I don’t follow. 1. You don’t have to write any code to use HTTPS, it has already been written. 2. Are you saying that since HTTPS isn’t perfectly secure you’re gonna use the definitely insecure HTTP? What kind of logic is that?

Two reasons: they have 40 Gbps thunderbolts and they love dongles.

Some things may be cheap and common in a place, but an exotic delicacy in others, so the market adjusts.

I wouldn't call "having to open a separate, unrelated app, visiting its homepage, entering your Account area, finding the Subscriptions list" easy. Easy would be: - Open app with subscription - Go to settings

Some languages are objectively easier than others, at least in part. Latin languages like Italian, Spanish and French have literally dozens of conjugations[0] where English usually handles all tenses and quantity with "will, would, did

No easing though. You can't avoid the "snapping" at the end

Sadly `auto` values can't be animated. It can only be done with a bunch of hard-coded sizes and positions. Remove an item anywhere and you'll have to manually adjust.

Sorry, you can’t say “CSS sucks” when the only limitation it has is your lack of knowledge. If YOU can’t build complex layouts with it, it’s not the language’s fault. Plenty of people can. Open an “awards” site and see what people can do an

Fun to remember but obviously useless at this point thanks to CSS animations — which are eased, interactive and more complex than x/y movements.

Don’t do it. Not worth it. Once you get into transforms it’s a waste of time. Anything more complex than a couple `animate` elements and you’re better off with a mini JavaScript lib. I used to spend time on this but when a little animation

This browser extension has been around for a few years but in the past year it picked up a slew of useful features and refinements, most of which can now be disabled as desired.

This extension should be one CSS line, why does it load 3 libraries as content scripts? :root {filter: grayscale(1) !important; background: #fff} I wish extensions had a native way to whitelist/blacklist websites. Until then,

OP here. My bad. Apparently they only give the token when you leave your phone or computer, but not always.

Not exactly and not necessarily. You can await a Promise and not have any functions at all: await thing() console.log(‘Thing done’) Also you could attach multiple callbacks to the same Promise at any point, even long after the

You can run a server at 127.0.0.1:80, but it won’t work for HTTPS sites… unless you also configure your own certificates on the server.
