The entire website is written in PHP. I have nothing against the language, but it's a major red flag when you would expect it to be using Java instead like most bank and government websites do.

I wish I have the time to sink 100+ hours on this game. I still haven't finished BOTW after playing it on and off for a few years. Hoping the next Zelda would be more brief like the old Wind Waker.

Do you have any tips on how to effectively parse website content? I tested it on one of my websites and it was able to answer questions based on content that was located in separate div/p containers. Do you divide content into differen

How does this handle websites with complicated structure instead of your typical blogposts where ideas are divided neatly into separate paragraph?

Can't wait to see how the Elon lackeys - Marc, Lex, and Jason etc. going to bend over backwards defending this.

I want to quit but there's nothing that truly replace it. I might try Mastaodon but in the meantime, I will do my job by blocking every ads I see on the app.

The engagement declines with each new release. That is what happens when you keep crying wolf. It's not even trending on Twitter.

Am I the only one who believes the high textbook pricing are reasonable given the small consumer base?

Schwab is great. One thing I like is you need to call their team on the phone and answer a few questions before you can even trade the most basic option types (i.e. secured short put, covered call). Robinhood instead grants margins and adva

off-topic, after the redesign, has the verge changed the font and removed dark mode?

Interesting to see Facebook didn't leak this information when the privacy change was being rolled out.

Their articles used to get upvoted to Reddit front page constantly. I guess in hindsight this was probably just another Russian propaganda project.

Please name one Chinese social media company that is "better" at these social media categories. Group/Newsfeed: Facebook (Baidu Tieba is China only) Longform videos: YouTube (Bilibili is China only) Messenger: WhatsApp, iMess

It is outrageous that Facebook and Google are banned from operating in China while TikTok is allowed free rein in America.

We will see how Diablo 4 will perform but I seriously doubt this mobile game saga will affect even 0.1% of sales. People were genuinely excited by the trailer Blizzard put out back in June.

I hope someone working at YouTube see this. I was watching Shorts and it's infested with literal horse fucking videos from countless India spam channels. NSFW example: https://youtube.com/shorts/8Pd4s07vIq0?feature

These video essays are nothing more than opinion pieces since they never provide any evidence and citation on what they say.

Is there a VSCode plugin that help you do something like this: when I type text-20px it will try to find the closest class e.g. text-sm automatically?

Wonder how many people actually played the game as opposed to parroting whatever they heard from YouTubers? Metacritic user score has become useless since people started to doing review bomb.

It should, but the negative attention this game is getting is not proportional to the degree of awfulness of the monetisation. I am just jaded by the misinformation and double standard the Internet have these days, when you see some content

Granted I am 15 or so levels away from max level and haven't touched any endgame activities. Still I am not denying the game is not P2W.

They also have very tame monetization in their upcoming Warcraft mobile game when compared to the game it's cloning - Clash Royale. There are no loot boxes and you can buy character outright. Still the announcement was met with mixed r

I have been playing and enjoying the game for the past few days. The P2W gem system can be ignore entirely by most players unless you want to become the best in leaderboard. Overall the monetization is on par with other mobile games. The on
