And I forgot to mention the mini and micro versions of USB ports, which add to the overall confusion.

Why does USB have two seemingly unrelated versioning schemes? There's USB 1, 2, 3 and now 4 as well as Type A, B and C. This mess looks like manufacturers wanted to create a way to trick the average customer into buying the wrong cable

And others would definitely sue a service like that. (I'd use it, too, but I understand why it won't happen.)

Which databases are good for analytics from your point of view? In my experience, being able to do advanced ad-hoc SQL queries is priceless for analytics. Timescale helps in scaling time series use-cases that used to scale badly in plain Po

Wouldn't it make more sense to show an example that actually takes advantage of async/await? I don't get why they are using examples that need a disclaimer like you can run 100 jobs for this to make sense. So it should includ

You could even replace every command I run with a malware version simply by altering the $PATH in ~/.bashrc. If you manage to replace, say, apt-get with a malware version, you'll get admin permissions every time I run `sudo apt-ge

But you usually also have to wait longer for new versions of services -- which might not be a problem for the majority, but can be a show-stopper for some.

People who are new to a topic and just learned a new thing often do a better job at explaining things without requiring prior knowledge. Experts in a topic often see things as trivial and write introductions that exclude a fraction of poten

Yes, Google also has a better index and more experience in building a search engine. I'm just arguing why DDG cannot be as good as Google, when you expect personalized results. E.g. when you are a programmer and get results for Swift t

No need for a service. Firefox comes with readability, Safari has reader mode.

The problem with AMP is not that it limits what website creators can do. The problem is that everything is served via Google's servers and that you can have a perfectly optimized, mobile-friendly website and still have no chance in Goo

I've no idea about Safari's reader mode, but you can have a look how the readability feature in Firefox works: https://github.com/mozilla/readability I'd expect the Safari feature to work quite similar.

DDG has to show you less relevant results because they don't know much about you. The problem is that seeing less relevant search results is only considered a good thing by very privacy-sensitive people. One approach could be to advert

That last paragraph is exactly what I was thinking. Did people in ancient Greece actually believe the stories from the Odyssey or Iliad? Or was it meant to entertain? Or have a look at Genesis. Is this something that the original sources be

I often think that maybe in a 1000 years or so, archeologists will find evidence that almost every household had a copy of Harry Potter or something similar and will conclude that this was a widespread religion at the time.

Yes, absolutely. If it was called something like "OAuth 2 Auto-Configuration and Identity", it would have caused less confusion.

Just to clarify: OIDC = OpenID Connect, which doesn't have much to do with the old OpenID but is based on OAuth 2.0.

For OAuth, this is part of the standard OpenID Connect[0], which extends OAuth 2.0. I'm not sure how IndieAith handles this. [0]: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#UserIn...
