When I tried to cancel a regular monthly subscription, they tried to force me to pay a fee to be able to cancel the subscription, and they don't let you disconnect your payment methods. Luckily, I used paypal so I could unauthorise the

How does this theory show that birds didn't first become intelligent, and then started cheating because they're now intelligent enough to do it? The "sitting and watching" theory makes a lot more sense to me.

It's not a mistake because someone doesn't subscribe to the same definition as you. There are 2 widely competing definitions that are both perfectly valid, if you want to be more specific you can say "not OSI approved" t

This is the "everyone who drinks water dies, therefore drinking water is deadly" argument. I'd also guess lesser known frameworks have a higher proportion of better developers - i.e people taking the time to research and try

>And to be just a tad pedantic: you have JS in production; your TS is only in dev. This is not even pedantic, it's wrong. You have JS/TS in both dev and prod, with javascript being the actual runtime code in both, and typescrip

This is advice many modern designers need to know - I don't like seeing an icon and having no idea what it does without clicking it, and having to guess what the icon might mean, where a label could easily fit, or replace the icon, and

It's hard to believe this is the interface for a page titled "our interfaces have lost their senses", and the author not being aware of the irony.

Are these bugs in the website or in firefox?

This is completely incorrect. There is a difference between: (1) "PoopCoin" that is a copy paste of an existing cryptocurrency, repackaged with meme (!) marketing, and intentionally used for the creators to make quick money, and i

You're misunderstanding or strawmanning. You don't need a business to be free, obviously, and no not everyone that's free has a business (???). But that's different from being forbidden from making one.

>So now you need a framework on top of React - itself a framework. You definitely do not need any framework for react, you don't even need a build step. And react is not a framework. Not that it has objective meaning, but I think th

React has never been a "framework", it's a "view library" that can be included in a framework. The benefit is you can pick your own pieces, like building your own computer. Also, React doesn't handle routing (I

Vite is the replacement for CRA, I usually create new projects with their preact-ts template. Its very fast and just works. I would personally strongly advise against nextjs, but use whatever you prefer.

For those living in countries that don't have majority white people (eg asian or african countries), do they have any DEI programs to hire more white people and all that?

Games happen to be software, that hundreds of millions use, especially younger tech-oriented people. So yes, it IS essential if you want to make a PC people will use.

Everyone I know that uses linux for their PC, has constant, daily issues and complaints, and they all use a different distro that they promise is the best. Without even going into any of the other issues, that's enough to keep me away.

You are 100% correct. Open source has a common definition the vast majority of the world uses, a company can proclaim their own definition, but it doesn't magically change the language. Nobody is thinking about, or even aware of, the O

This comes off as very naive and contrarian, and like the author just wanted a reason to create some more javascript libraries. The lack of types in your library makes it harder to use, more likely there will be bugs where its being used, a

I don't understand the logic of calling superhero movies lesser/unserious like this, it's very snobby. Movies and music are made to be entertaining, the avengers is more entertaining than your "arthouse cinematic masterp

My understanding is that google lets anyone freely use chromium, and chrome is just their flavour of chromium with google services integrated ontop of it. Microsoft took chromium and sprinkled ai-enhanced microsoft flavours on top to make e

You were mentioning a boundary and line being drawn, I think what's trying to be said is that line is already drawn. No problem abruptly vanishes just because it becomes illegal. It doesn't help that your example is 30 years old,

It's not terrible advice, it's the same advice you will hear from many lawyers. If a cop pulls you over because you were blatantly speeding - saying nothing, or admitting to it and apologising, are both reasonable things to do. Ne

I was under the impression this was already either not allowed, or not explicitly disallowed but rarely happens because it could be seen as coercive and have the case thrown out. In the many hundreds of videos I've seen, interrogators
