He's been in the games industry for some years now, and as a side-project he teaches kids how to code — I'm pretty certain that he builds such crazy projects mostly as a fun hobby, perhaps also partly as a showcase for his teachin

It seems buggy for me - it worked initially, until I used right-arrow to accept some text, then it seemed to mostly stop responding - even after a page reset - it's now very slow and/or intermittent. (Safari 14.1 on Mac) I guess i

He seems quite happy to strike deals with drugs gangs, according to documented police evidence [1]. And five of his associates are known to be corrupt [2]. Pretty impressive for someone who claims/claimed to be anti-corruption [3]. On

Not that I'm suggesting you should send Apple money: but it's like £0.79 per month for 50gb - less than £10/year. For me at least: that's pretty cheap compared to other services.

I guess it's easy for articles like this to overlook the fact that Coinbase went down for an hour for many users. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/19/coinbase-is-down-for-some-us...

You can actually write: value := map[key] and if map[key] doesn't exist, value will (still) be set to the "zero value" of the map's type. The actual reason you cannot simply write: if(map[key]) { ... aside

Do you have any links to substantiate those claims, please?

Glad to hear you managed to find the culprit!

I'm pretty sure that macOS doesn't do this by default at all, based upon over a decade of experience. This StackOverflow seems to agree — but it also offers suggestions to help find the actual culprit (a lot of third-party softwar
