No, running on Chrome now. I'm stuck with the unfortunate name. Chrome is much faster and well behaved than PhantomJs ever was. I offered PhantomJs as an option until not long ago, but nobody was using it.

I am using the new headless Chrome for my Browser-Automation SaaS (PhantomJsCloud.com) and it is working great. It fixes some nagging compatibilities with certain websites. I don't bother with anti-bot mitigations, and I don't ex

I was starting to move to OfferUp, but got a rude awakening when I tried to give away some old Garage Sale signs. They block posting anything that might encourage "outside sales". No thank you. Craigslist 4 life.

The only example of "Concept" in the article is "product", yet it talks to great length about it (Concept). What are some other examples? I really struggle to understand the value of it, and find the lack of transparenc

Silent canceling of cards is evil. Just because it's easy and unenforceable doesn't mean that it's ethical.

I believe that if I tried playing the game, I'd make a pretty good CTO. But as PG is aluding to, there are a lot of really talented people out there (including myself) who hate playing the politic/self-promotion game. For small

Thank you for the explanation. I agree that most fiction is a recasting of older stories, but I think you are putting too much thought into the motivations of this story. I agree that it's playing on the fantasy of rebirthing creat

I use Firestore. I think your analysis is spot on. It is great for OLTP workloads. For query/analysis, you'll need to replicate to another database. another area where it truly shines is zero downtime for schema updates.

in the last few days Twitter doesn't force me to login to scroll down tweets anymore. Maybe related to the buy action? Want to show increased engagement in the final weeks for bargaining power?

Just yesterday I bought stuff on ebay using a VPN (PIA). They locked my account and made me do a password reset. I suppose good thing I was just buying, not selling anything.

I also never had this happen, and conversely find that inkjet fades, and will be totally ruined if it ever becomes damp.

I have only very-basic understanding of energy markets, but the jargon is fine to me, and pretty standard economic/energy speak. - Supply is being forced offline. Oil/Gas production is being forced to stop. - Russia shut-

Thank you for that link, though PCE at 6% isn't that far off from CPI's 7.5% Both support the claim made in the article.

This offers a modern approximation to both targets and fallout maps, but not sure I would say it's "better" as in my area (Seattle) the targets east of Tacoma seem suspiciously placed. https://www.nuclearwarmap.com

Don't simplify. If you want to make some simpler "starter" cards okay, but what you have is great, even for total python beginners, as long as there is a dedicated teacher to help them work through the card.
