In that case you can use Firefox Mobile and Tampermonkey addon to inject custom CSS.

You don't even need Nightly since February, version 110 added it :)

Why not simply inject a tiny bit of client side CSS and fix it yourself? True to the hacker spirit.

Let's say you are making a feature which will call into an external API, send an email based on the response and then also write something to the DB. How do you ensure this actually works and for example emailing isn't broken acci

As a younger dev I often dreamed of devs releasing the source code to ancient games so that I could learn from it, but now that I know how corporate works I've made my peace that it will happen rarely or never. I bet that devs in a com

Note however that money is not the only question here. For example I would also question their ethics to knowingly violate copyright law.

I wonder what is going on inside heads of people like this when they do stuff contrary to the entire world thinking that they know better. I've seen it in tech as well, people reimplementing SQLite, Boost and Tensorflow because they th

Agrivoltaics seems like a cool idea but one of the things I rarely ever see mentioned is how chemicals from the panels interact with the crops. Steel can rust and if rust gets washed away into the earth and then the plants... well that cant

This used to be true with deterministic algorithms but not anymore. LLMs give you a "good enough" approximate answer which will replace humans in many scenarios previously inaccessible to computers.

Fully agree and can relate to this one very much. As with all other things, the "optimum" is somewhere in the middle between Type 1 and Type 2 depending on the context, but both extremes are an equal PITA.

This assumes that there is a need for 10x amount whichever service these entities are providing. For some cases that may be true, but for many (most?) it is not. In fact demand will most likely remain about the same, and all competitors wil

Precisely because I can abstract it is why I use ChatGPT. It can do the boring, tedious, repetitive stuff instead of me and has shown me the joy of using programming to solve ACTUAL problems yet again, instead of having to spend hours on u

Anecdotal but the first two companies I worked at both grew from around 70 when I joined to around 200 when I left them, and in both cases I attested the very thing this article is observing. Influential and capable people became disengaged

That would be great, but I don't see it happening. Instead I find it more likely that human labour will be relegated to other activities which cannot be automated like food delivery, driving, cleaning et cetera, and we will all keep wo

Why don't you write a 10 line JS Userscript for yourself and make this a reality?

Except it is not though. Unsafe blocks are "hey check this extra carefully because it might be unsafe" instead of everything being implicitly unsafe everywhere.

Sending anonymously could work if possible, here you have to be authenticated with your government email, otherwise they just ignore it. On the other topic: it definetly isn't anything like public photography you mentioned, at least no

The fact is that you gained unauthorized access to personal information, which might be a criminal offence in your jurisdiction despite your honorable intentions. My advice is to let it go and not implicate yourself any further. Relevant pe

That is not what I said. Of course we should strive for precision, corectness etc. but that does not mean that current and future imprecise methods of development do not hold any value. There is plenty of value to be gained from poorly writ

Alternative solution: just write a damn test. How did that inverted condition get past testing?

Will suggest this to my manager, he loves seeing percentages very much. So much in fact that our OKR for next quarter is to boost our email open rate by 50%. That means from 1% to 1.5%.

Agreed, I saw those two predictions and closed the tab immediately. Was a interesting article up to that point but it's evidently bonkers and/or naive.

Ok, so don't use it then or think of an alternate way of achieving the same thing. Why would you even comment something like this?
