I'm sorry for the somewhat unproductive comment, but for anyone else wondering: Their homepage actually has an explainer below the title and the community reviews aren't empty gray blocks. They've just used a font weight of 1

Your argument comes down to "why don't we just let them die?" You broke your arm? Sorry, no insurance. Figure out yourself how you're going to fix that. You might not be able to ever use it again, but that's your ch

I do think it's enough. My point was that excluding money from the question is not useful, because buying a yacht is explicitly an exchange of money for entertainment.

While it would definitely be better if this displayed a warning when opening the link, it still requires the victim to willingly send the email. Before doing that they see the list of attachments they are including, so this is a very visi

It's important to note here that PHP is converting to an integer, while JS is converting to a double. Integers don't have NaN as a concept. JS doesn't have integers, but if it did it would probably make the same kind of mista

I've also seen several Search Console issues that displayed a "Last Crawled" date months or years in the past. They had long since gone outdated. In some cases the entire website had been replaced by that point.

It's always surprising to read about the trouble this causes for Node. I've been writing mostly Webpack-compiled JS for the past few years, and it seems to allow any random mixture of require and import. Have I just been avoiding

Very interesting! Looks like my perspective is very Western Europe-centric, where the data matches what I expected. Gmail is bigger than I expected in the US, and also in Eastern Europe. I do wonder what "market share" means here,

I'm still reading the article, but this stood out to me: > More than 300bn emails are said to be sent every day and if only one-third originate on Gmail—a conservative estimate—then a stack of print-outs would be 10,000km high. I do

Neither version of Firefox for Android uses a Chrome webview. The old one is built on Gecko directly, while the new one uses GeckoView.

I find this comment rather confusing under an announcement for Workers Unbound, which charges $0.09 per GB. That's AWS/GCP/Azure-level pricing, and definitely does not push competition on that front.

It was that bad 2 years ago, in the AMS3 region. I don't know how it is these days, but I expect after 2 years it has matured at least a little bit. They also now include a CDN, which might improve things a bit if it reduces the load o

I don't really understand why they add this complexity. Supposedly it's to avoid breaking backwards compatibility, but they break all kinds of backwards compatibility on every release anyway.

I don't have a particularly good source for this, but I've seen this reported by major YouTubers: the advertising revenue split on YouTube is 45/55. YouTube keeps 45%, the creator gets 55%. So if the creator gets $1, YouTube

What's strange about it? Decentraleyes isn't being maintained very actively. The author of LocalCDN found the pace too slow and forked to update things for themselves. They are very civil about it.

In my experience GraphQL can be much nicer to implement than REST, and it offers a good structure around things that many REST APIs implement in particular ways (like selecting which fields you want). The pain you'll experience depends
