> cost management You mean tax evasion? I suppose that's a good thing if you're basically in favour of anarchy and societal collapse. Personally, I'm not.

Anti-fingerprinting will never be bulletproof. Legislation definitely needs to be part of the solution. More generally, though, I have to ask: do we want an ever-escalating arms race or a negotiated peace?

I'd guess the youtube videos are just a part of a "Latin teaching business" that also involves paid courses. The main income is from people who directly pay for tuition/resources, not from youtube monetisation.

There are plenty of country codes that when reversed become a different, valid country code: e.g. Israel (IL) when reversed is Lithuania (LI); Australia (AU) becomes Ukraine (UA). Whether "reversing flag emojis" causes such transf

I faced that question over a decade ago, and after looking around at my options, I went with Qt. No regrets. Sure, it had its flaws, and sometimes the "not-quite-nativeness" shows through, but it worked pretty well and gave me sup

While it's a cute saying, it's not entirely fair. Luck also plays a large rôle. The Antarctic could perfectly well have killed Amundsen, too, just like it killed Scott. It's true his journey was better planned and prepared, b

Now that I look at the screenshots with "they're mock-ups" in mind, I notice quite a few typos, etc... some careful proofreading would make for a more professional look. E.g. the fake Amazon page has "approvalfor" (
