I don't know about Qt but at least GTK's docs are terribly bad. Even more so when you want to develop using a language that isn't C.

Aesthetics and familiarity? It's a lot nicer to link the user's name directly to their profile, and the date directly to their tweet on Twitter as opposed to having a separately link or whatnot. For many, especially your average J

Oh, this is the missing piece! It seems I'm blocking Twitter's JS if it's not on their site. I didn't even realise and I was confused about what the author meant as I could clearly see the tweet on their site.

I mentioned in my other comment that the direnv plugin aims to resolve this. Personally I didn't get it working but I haven't been determined enough. It has been working for others.

Seems the direnv plugin aims to resolve, but I struggled to get it working. 200ms for hasn't been a huge issue (yet), but not having the proper paths set up has been. Using shims isn't the greats experience (something direnv plugi

They've probably been eating up the Visa/MC cross border payment increases until now, and now they're starting to charge for that too.

A friend of mine working for a rival neobank was telling me about a tiny piece of the whole thing that used 5 microservices to achieve it. This was a security related piece, and when I pressed him why something as simple as what he was desc

Right. Hence why I said: > That is honestly near impossible. Point is, staging environment is there to increase the confidence that what you are deploying won't fail. Removing that is doable, but I wouldn't recommend it.
