Not yet. But honestly, the latest few updates have been great! Navigation between docs is much much better, pinch to zoom was a great addition, and screenshare is now better than on any eink tablet. In general, I haven't felt like I&#x

I am not from a country who has npr, and i know little about its reputation. It looks like an article which could be mistaken as a pr stunt.

Right. Has anyone here done a reasonable background check on the author, Desmond Shum, to verify this is not just a PR stunt? It is perfectly plausible that everything in the article is true... But if the kidnapping isn't real then I w

You still need to log into spotify to use any 3rd party app and none of the playback apis will work without a premium account. Apps like this one are for people with premium accounts.

"Chromium Embeded Framework". When people say Electron based they don't really care if it's using Electron or any other browser. It's still a browser. And it's therefore at least 100x slower than it could be.

Eh. Ish. They only support playback within a browser and have deprecated native playback support years ago. Also their ToS technically doesn't let you do a looot of things you may want. Like caching. Srsly, you're not allowed to c

This is abstract enough to be mostly useless, but concrete enough to piss off everyone who has had success using certain tools. Even the mechanical engineering argument has the counterexample of equivalent but differebt pieces of CAD softwa

Science definitely needs someone to build an obscure economy with cryptocoins and a system weaker than peer review at verifying truth. That system definitely needs to be modeled using some simple comments + up/down voting interface, si

Science itself is already decentralized. Tons of universities charting their own path. Inventivizing reproducability has nothing to do with decentralization. Those things are orthogonal. Anyone can technically start their own journal as wel

My point was not that it was a good movie, but it matched the expected hype. Even though it delivered more fan service than a great story/villain. I count that as a win in terms of "did it live up to the hype" department. It&

Was there hype for this? As far as I remember this only turned out to be impressive after reviews started rolling in. (not contesting thr experience itself, I just don't remember the pre-release hype)

I'd say Avengers: Endgame lived up to the decade of hype, which is no small feat. LotR sequels probably had a lot of hype prior to release. The latest God of War had a great release afaik. To be honest, it's hard to remember which

Looks cool from a distance, and looks more user friendly than most! However any modern editor which doesn't support multiple cursors (be it terminal or gui) is missing the start line of the race these days.

Not really. (string[0] == string[0].toUpperCase() && string[0] != string[0].toLowerCase()) is the correct way to approach this problem. If toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() don't handle Turkish letters, then that's a BUG in
