I'm not sure what data I was looking at before, but my point was that we were near peak just a few months ago and yet perception about the state of the pandemic does not really match that. In fact, per the CDC Feb 1, 2022 was the dea

Pedantry on my part, but annotated does not mean including a stack trace, simply that it includes a description of the error. Given it's a non-nil check, you never gave a guarantee it's valuable, but the error is itself at minimum

I also panic whenever possible from the caller, in which case I get a pretty clear stack trace. I understand you don't always want that but imo I don't have a lot of cases where I'm ultimately throwing my hands up on a non-ex

Why? Errors are annotated by definition. I wouldn't feel better about returning my own string versus the error which already includes a message. How much additional context needs to be there and how often is this convention used by sim

Just a question ... is the JS overhead really that substantial compared to the overall WebView integration? I wouldn't mind something like Tauri Studio if it just used js for design and had its own non browser rendering.

I'd argue he lives to be seen as a troll. As an actual troll he hasn't really done much but post tired memes until buying a large stake in Twitter. Time will tell whether he's actually going to do anything interesting with

The connection is "influence in China" and "contemporary colonialism" which is a broad enough topic for a large series of articles. But I agree that this stands on its own as a topic and Belt and Road would feel shoehorn

I see the argument, though. Edits in a conversation break context and flow.

Sure, but this tip is explicitly to change the text (or icon, depending) of the onscreen virtual keyboard, so these are different functionalities.

enterkeyhint doesn't do anything on Chrome on Android. Which kind of illustrates why a lot of these things are not well-known. Why do something that that works on Firefox but not Chrome/Edge or on Safari/Firefox but not Chrom

Or twelve. And make each a segment of a circle. And put the respective number 1-12 next to it.

I don't think I said otherwise. Seems a pedantic distinction, though.

It's still legal to buy decocanized coca leaves but I think the odds of getting anything worthwhile out of it would be slim and probably more expensive than a plane ticket to Peru.

I think the issue is less jokes than posts without enough context to live on their own. I've seen plenty of humorous posts received well here when they're not jokes for the sake of the joke.
