Wow those answers are indeed funny. I agree that as an OSS dev/maintainer, it's easy to fall on the vice of over-generalization and crusade for the perfect solution, and it feels that's exactly what happened there. > this

I'm reading so many good comments that I will be trying Magic Wormhole soon. How about Warpinator [1]? It's the application that I use simply because it came by default with my choice of Linux distro, and it works fine. Main use c

Thanks a lot! A text such as this one would have been great to find somewhere relevant when looking for a bit of technical information about whether the image processing pipeline will be the same or not when taking photos or videos. With th

I never got to try GrapheneOS because a single unresolved doubt: does its Camera app benefit from the same image improvement features that the stock camera has? Especially now that Pixels started shipping with hardware chipsets specifically

Just adding that for technical terms that include underscores, I am on the camp that most if not all of the times they should also be marked as such (as a technical identifier of something) with `backquotes`. Which solves the issue of havin

Before I learned the existence of Markdown, the intuitive most logical markup for me was (and after 10+ years of writing Markdown, still is): * *Asterisks* should be bold. Like WhatsApp and Slack do. Because they bring attention to the eye,

In my defense I'll say that with that "also" in my mind I was thinking on the previous phrase, so I was referring to a "Markdown-esque syntax for message formatting"... Nevertheless, good catch

Ulysses? Take an app with a MUCH wider audience: WhatsApp! They use Markdown-esque syntax for message formatting. It mostly is Markdown, with a single caveat that gets me a lot: *Single asterisks* become bold, instead of italic. For itali

So, in Rust they had threading since forever and they are now hyped with this new toy called async/await (and all the new problems it brings), while in Python they've had async/await and are now excited to see the possibiliti

Heheh no. I'm in my 30s. My opinion comes from experience. I like to travel a lot, and have been several times on trips that brought me to places where the norm is a subpar connection. Taking 30 seconds to load the simplest bloatware-i

You know what? I actually believe in having developers work (or maybe just test) with slower computers (when writing native apps) or with crippled networking (when doing web) in order to force them consider the real-world cases of not being

This makes sense. I recently learned that VSCode is clever enough to automatically disable some features (which includes syntax highlighting among I guess other things) when it detects that the file is too big according to some heuristics (

I'm on the same camp, but in the end it turns out we were not putting it to the actual, real, hard-world test. VSCode is very fast for me, when I open it in the morning and just starting my day . But once I've opened the main pro

That's very interesting! And of course, it'd be very unintuitive for most people. Maybe more education is needed to help people understand how to optimize their energy bill with heat pumps.

Then make it an independent email+password thing, so in case of a leak, something as critical and personal as a phone number doesn't get involved in the stolen data. (I know the irony of this in particular being Authy, but nevertheless

There's a saying that I've been hearing since being a kid, that heat pump sucks because it's just instantaneous heat but as soon as you turn it off, the heat disappears in an instant. Based on my experience, it's true. A

Thanks a lot! Yeah I see how the simpler design that has non-stacked implementations one on top of another is easier to understand and test. Yours is not only a lesson in design for Rust, but in general for any technology! This later idea i

Not alone, no. That's how CI bots help a lot, such as Dependabot. Althought it's also worrying how we seemingly need more technologies on top of technologies just to keep a project alive. It used to be just including the system&#x
