It has asked me lots of times, but just yesterday it didn't for a new account in none less than google.com. Its code to detect when to ask must be... weak, to say the least. So I went on to add a new entry manually. Oh my, the UX to do

For a long time, Android has been the only major OS unable to resolve mDNS .local hostnames. However, it seems that this feature has been silently added very recently on Android 12. Doesn't look like there is any official announcement,

I see. Not being able to detach your mental process from an overburdened project probably means that you are more prone to suffer the kind of issues discussed every time this topic is brought up. Caution is advised, I guess. You might be ab

I agree with this, too. Which opens up a nice point of discussion: closing stale bugs is bad because it sweeps the issue under the rug; but closing them is good in case the context and source code around the issue has changed a lot. In this

It's a bit like an Android phone: you can use it perfectly fine, but the Play Store requires you to log into a Google account before letting you install apps. At least, on Android you can use the Aurora store, or install .apk files man

Node.js has both a Best Practices [0] and a tutorial [1] that instruct to use CMD ["node", "main.js"] . In short: do not run NPM as main process; instead, run Node directly. This way, the Node process itself will run as

This was discussed around a month ago, leading me to this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29546433#29549855 and the consequent uBlock Origin list that is what I'm using as the so far better solution for this

I guess you're right but in PoP it feels more like an arbitrary latency that you were required to learn. OTOH I guess I was spoiled by games like Super Mario World (the very first videogame I ever played), where jumps are instantaneous
