Even more so than like, your best tool is long press > not interested. Use that indiscriminately for a bit and you'll be in a much better place. Yes, it's rough at first, but it's pretty amazing how it works after some tim

You haven't used it much yet you somehow in your very short experience know everyone's experience with it and anyone who has had a different experience must be paid or on drugs? I hope you realize how bad that sounds...

This is true for every platform. I always find it strange when people complain their Twitter feed is toxic, when they have quite a lot of control over who's on there or not. Admittedly I use Tweetdeck which is less algorithmic, but sti

Eh, it still exists. I have gotten in a few cohorts that were quite toxic, especially near the election. There's still quite a lot of vaccine/mask vs anti-vaccine/mask content, and you general political crap. It's easy t

Absolutely, I keep saying this, but TikTok reminds me of early Youtube, pre-monetization. The random homemade videos going viral, people not trying too hard, or trying to hyperoptimize every second of the video. I know it won't last, b

That definitely plays a role, but I think the much bigger factor is how it lets anyone download & share the video file (at least by default, which most don't change). These days, half of reddit, twitter and discord is just filled w

I don't think it'll become the normal way. If anything, the opposite is true, people making Electron apps to get to access the power of web development, instead of making native apps. It's definitely not easy, it requires you

Deprecation aside, Flask 2.0 begins adding type annotations, which is 3.6+ https://github.com/pallets/flask/pull/3973

by ehsankia 5y ago
Considering the last item in the changelog is: - Add type hinting. https://github.com/pallets/flask/pull/3973 I think it's fair to assume annotations is the big reason.

Did you feel the same when Maps went from HTML to Canvas? There is no factual basis for your claims. The simplest and most obvious answer is performance. Docs these days can take 5-10s to fully open, especially with comments and annotations

Can you give a bit more flavor to "not very fast"? I'm on a measly chromebook and scrolling, selecting text, expanding directories, everything is smooth and high framerate. Is there a specific operation that is not fast? Open

But even compared to other publishing, like books. From my experience books sell for less (both paperback and e-book), and also a significant chunk of it goes to the author. Do scientist get any of the profit from paper sales? Also, as you

Ventoy is AWESOME. No more continuously formatting your drive for every ISO you want. You just copy your ISOs on and off the drive and they all just work.

While Fortnite is one of the bigger games doing it, I don't think it's unique to Fortnite. Many games have seasons and constantly updating content. That's the bigger takeaway, not that Fortnite is successful with it. Players

I was thinking like a game of musical chair. If you sit down too early to lose, but when the time comes, you better sell quick or you'll be left standing with nothing to show for it.

Fair enough. That being said, I think PlusCodes are basically the better worldwide "zipcodes", and while they don't have the "three simple words" property, they do have the property you speak of. You can basically t

The algorithm is also extremely simple, I've seen code golf with less than 100 char in most languages, and realistically just a couple lines of code. I like that you can recursively add more precision after the plus, as well as truncat

Isn't that what... zip codes/postal codes are? The whole point of systems like this is to be able to point to any place on earth.

Did you reply to the wrong person? Your reply has nothing to do with what I said. I was referring the pre-covid times, the first graph shown shows that Flu went to near 0 in the summer every year, even before covid.
