C# does not (as far as I know) have readonly or const for local variables, only to fields. You can even have consts inside method bodies, but they are only actual compile-time constants. codeflo means to declare a local variable that cannot

It's much harder to game if the rules are different for each consumer (and yeah, most people won't bother, but then they can't really complain either)

The application is self-modifying and partially server-defined, as well as being an online communication tool. Discord-the-company can change it at basically any time, and disallow any versions deemed "inappropriate".

A bunch of people are a bit confused by large white search bars at the top of the screen, often mistaking them for the address bar. Hypothesis: this phenomena has been exacerbated by browsers, which have trained people that URLs and search

I understood flatiron to mean you can configure Dolphin to look and/or behave similarly to other file managers, not that you can literally swap it, even though you might be able to.

A single repeated movement is very tiring. You compare to games, but games have you press different buttons, and there is usually either some rythm and variety to it, or at least hold the button (e.g. in a racing game you usually hold the

I thought it was some blocking, but I disabled my uBlock, Firefox's tracking protection, as well as the router-level DNS adblock, and it still toggled back on sporadically. I would turn it off, close the page, and bam, there it was aga

I tried both of these and had the same response. Something that did work as "fun" for me was Infinifactory, even though thematically the game is all about it being a job, it's puzzle nature is less daunting than being a sheer

Microsoft does not allow me to use my @kroltan.com email as a recovery email, because "you're not supposed to use business emails as a recovery". I can define what is a business email or not myself, Thank You Very Much.

The website has basically no CSS, so it's up to your user agent to decide on its default presentation. Just so happens that modern user agents don't really care about bare HTML, just CSS and JavaScript, so your default presentatio

Settings are supposed to exist, despite what corner-cutting suits would like to believe. Different people do have different needs, and it's clear that Google Maps attempts to reach a wide audience since it's both a map, business d

I think it was meant to be UTF-8 escape codes, as in \u0000 etc.

It seems this could be accomplished by extensions - at the very least for tab-related requests, as far as I know - since uBlock Origin has a setting that holds every request until it can update the filter lists.

On Firefox, Ctrl+W is only unfortunate if you press Ctrl THEN W, holding W and pressing Ctrl afterwards is fine.

Not raids, but World of Warcraft's "Isand Expeditions" feature, introduced around 2018, does this. They use an AI trained on PvP player behaviour, so the NPCs jump around, respond to teammates being injured, try to catch you

Yeah you're right, I'm not respecting the quote-quoting rule in this example, though IIRC I did in at least one of the actual uses. ndjson has the disadvantage of repeating column names for every record, which, granted, is basical

Some people will curse me, but I have used JSON-over-CSV a few times, it's a good compromise if your data is indeed mostly tabular. To be clear, I mean encoding values as JSON, but the overall object structure in CSV, so something like

Verdana (which is what HN uses at least for me) is a much wider font, though. The website uses Fira Sans, which is very condensed (as much as you can without having to stretch the characters, in fact). You can see that the code snippets on

Well, people successfully play Factorio on trackpads, which the Deck has aplenty, as the two pads below the sticks, as well as having a touchscreen. So I suppose it's better than if you were playing it on Xbox or something like that.

I agree if cached data was actually proportional to usage. But a lot of these webview kind of apps just download the whole thing anyways, so it's literally just a matter of if the bytes are classified under "application size"

Yes, but the 3mb is just the wrapper, I bet if you delete the hundred-ish megabytes of cache, it won't work offline anymore :)
