Which plugins do you use exactly? The last time I tried to set this up, there were multiple options, and I ended up never really figuring it out.

Is there a way to make a one-time donation without giving up my life-time membership? I love that the creator is doing this. There are so many services that I would have paid for, but instead they got shutdown or turned into crap. I was g

This is clearly a misunderstanding of what a first-class function is. If it doesn't meet your criteria in the colloquial sense of "first-class", that's one thing. But in computer science and programming in general, &qu

> You must pass it as a symbol in Ruby and then send to it. This is just plain wrong. You can absolutely do this, as other commenters have pointed out. It is common to see Ruby code passing around a symbol and sending it, but my guess a

Yes, the difference is between internal iterators vs. external iterators. For external iterators, Ruby's Enumerator syntax is a little less convenient. But I think it's a small price to pay for not having 2 colors of functions [1

> they will definitely not switch. How do you know? Have you asked them? Many of my family and close friends did install a new messaging app when I asked them. How do you think WhatsApp became so popular in the first place?

That is misleading, in my opinion. "100% faster" implies that runtime for a given workload is reduced by 100%, taking zero time. I think what you mean to say is either that it's 50% faster or that throughput is increased by

Yes. Why the f is len() a function in Python? From a design perspective, it makes absolutely no sense. You have to implement the __len__() method in order for the len() function to work. Why isn't it just a method?! And that is th

I never understood this. I took the compilers class at CMU, and I loved it. I went on to take a follow-up class implementing a compiler with higher-order types. Meanwhile, most of my classmates avoided compilers altogether. I've wor

I was also just about to post about how there's still a ton of stigma around alternative theories of history. In particular, the ones about how the pyramids were built by ancient civilizations. The end result is that it's tough

Yes, I'm still using the original SE, and I love it. Even the new "mini" is still bigger than it. Luckily the latest iOS 14 still works on it, but I'm afraid that this will be the last one before they drop support.

I know smart people who have Alexa devices. Some of these people are software engineers who know there's someone on the other end listening to everything. One could argue that they must not be smart to buy these things. But I think t

I would totally pay a yearly subscription to support Firefox, ideally giving me access to hosted features like Firefox Send (end-to-end encrypted sending of files). I realize that people who would do so are a minority. But maybe that would

For one, I think they should investigate actual suspects, not do blanket surveillance on everyone, only to leak that personal data later. Using cash is an example of sort of "opting out" of mass surveillance. Other comments in t

This is simply not true. From 2014 to 2017, I worked at a place where I kept starting new projects in Python 3. But people with less foresight wouldn't let their Python 2 habits die. It was a constant struggle to get anyone to reali

In the JS world, this is why Ember is so awesome. People criticize it for including everything and the kitchen sink, but most frontend apps that go anywhere actually need all that. And Ember guarantees that it all works together, with a c

Luckily, Mozilla is a non-profit organization. Their interests do not conflict with protecting their users. But it makes you wonder, if other browser vendors' interests do conflict with ad blocking, why would they ship with uBlock Ori

I regularly use the speech feature of macOS to read web pages aloud to me, so I was also pleasantly surprised to hear meaningful descriptions of the images from the alt text. Maybe one day computers will be able to describe to me what is in

The biggest change in this release that I'm _so_ happy about is that they finally fixed session restore to preserve which macOS Spaces your windows were originally on! I believe the Linux equivalent with virtual desktops was also fixe

The EONS cluster actually froze my entire system. Running Firefox 74.0 on mac. It had a really cool glitch visual effect, and then my system froze. Almost as if it hacked my real computer...
