Spam is not Email's fault, but the mere result of its success/importance, which has only been possible due to its interoperability, which in turn facilitates spam. It would be the same if we had all been using - say- XMPP for the

This just got its 0.2 release with complex search operators. This utility resembles "Everything" search on Windows and a very useful tool, so I think it's worth sharing.

I have another fun challenge, try to completely disable the auto-zoom-feature on Google Maps. Last time I tried, I stepped through 20 stacks of obfuscated nonsense before eventually giving up. But tbh I can't really imagine any scenari

This already exists, see [1]. Development has a bit stalled, but afaik the author wants to keep pursuing it. There's even a Discord server for this kind of project, see also this GitHub thread [2] where CS+TS is being discussed in gene

in case this helps you, the described effect is gone with JavaScript disabled. If these kinds of effects tend to annoy you a lot, you might want to consider a JS-whitelisting browser addon, I've had good experiences with one.

Thanks, this is quite helpful. The constant phoning home to China is also my main issue with these devices. When talking about jailbreaking, are you referring to this thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-there-

That wget GUI you are referring to and dragging through the dirt is a GPL Perl script from a lone programmer done in 2007 who did it out of personal motivation [1]. He provides his personal email address and asks for feedback through it. Ha

yes, but what baffles me is that any spam, if ever, is directed at GitHub accounts directly, be it issues or contact addresses. The repositories themselves contain so many email addresses that are otherwise hidden from the platform. In

German banks support an open protocol: FinTS/HBCI with which you can automize stuff. There's a Python library for it [1] and I wrote my own little cli tool that allows you to configure your (potentially recurring) target vs. actua

If you need some sort of "compilation" (e.g. TS->JS, Webpack), you need to run that before the packaging command yourself. A VSCode extension mostly consists of a single package.json file with a "main" field pointing

Sorry I don't have an answer, only more questions on this. I also read about this limitation. Perhaps it's more of a warranty issue and direct sunlight exposure merely reduces the lifespan by a few percent. Given that you have bee

I bought a Pocketbook 301 from 2007 for 13€ recently, as it is one of the few ebooks without internet connection. It has buttons, an SD card slot, it reads all common formats (FB2 works best), and it has an audio jack plug. You can use it f

Generally, you'd use "user styles" for that, e.g. with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/ , such as anything from https://userstyles.org/styles/ o

I'd probably buy one, mostly because there is no other e-ink laptop available yet. Regarding battery life, since you've got LTE on board, you'd be better off by offloading the processing to a remote server and connecting via

Thank you for your insights! While the idea is interesting, the images on top of the SOCi article support your sceptism: Three programmers gathered around a tiny laptop screen is awful. You can always increase the font size though - I regul

Not quite what you asked, but perhaps interesting either way: I recently made an extension that keeps text only copies of all visited sites for offline usage [1]. No full text search included. Might be that grepping through the extension d

CoffeeScript, for one, is already at least talking about emitting TS [1]. These kinds of changes are vigorously debated though, e.g. [2]. Once ECMA type comments get to stage 4, CS would probably also adapt the new syntax. Other compile-to-
